Hi

I documented myself about Monero and it seem really great !

I would like to start my own node but obviously before I have some questions and I would like to exchange about it.

Like lemmy is still "marginal" but growing, the community's are still low, so I went on the official website of Monero but I see that they only propose linear chat services that require that you identify yourself ! or belong to GAFAM and that goes quite to the opposite of what Monero fight for to preserve your right to anonymity.

Do you know a crowded lemmy community where I could exchange with other Monero enthusiasts or anything else that is a like a built-in board forum where when you have a question you can open a dedicated thread and exchange on that thread ?

Thanks.

Thanks @iloveDigit@piefed.social I didn't know about Nostr so I've dig a little bit, it seem a decentralized protocol, but do not focus on privacy like Tor https://bitcoinmagazine.com/technical/how-nostr-can-improve-bitcoin-privacy

Yeah, I keep telling nostr devs we need a Tor frontend without JavaScript. I'm maybe on schedule to get that solved after like another year if existing devs keep refusing for that long. I hope someone beats me to it, since I'm not a dev and it should be done by now.

I think some stuff has changed since that article at least, like Android users can use Tor in the Amethyst app now
