With localmonero shutting down, what would be the challenges of creating a federated version of localmonero? Traders and buyers can have accounts at different servers but still be able to trade each other and see each others’ listings.
The pros i can see are: It would be harder to stop without a single point of failure, and brave server maintainers can host their services in different jurisdictions to prevent legal troubles. And it would be very difficult to prosecute server admins, as they aren’t the creator but merely hosting a site.
Yeah that’s Haveno. It uses TOR by default if you’re more paranoid than normal
Something that i can access on my browser, like lemmy
Anything that you “can access on your browser” can and will be shut down.
Browsers and WebPKI are designed to guarantee this.
You’re gonna have to let go of your browser obsession. Or just not get what you want. One or the other.
I was thinking that the federated structure of the fediverse is perfect for something like localmonero. No single point of failure, and naturally server admins will host their sites in jurisdictions more lax “money transmitter” laws
I do not have a browser obsession FYI. I’m thinking more of the normies. Localmonero was the perfect place to get some non-KYC monero & fiat. We gotta stop gatekeeping in monero land and think about the normies lol. We’re doing this for them.
Bisq and then change to XMR on other DEXes
Just use Haveno to buy XMR directly, way cheaper and quicker than dealing with bisq and BTC transactions.
He wants a DEX which is easier to set up
Haveno is literally just a .exe you run. Looks like he wants a DEX with NO setup.
I guess. LocalMonero was an online account
And what is easier to take down, a website or a decentralized network of nodes?
The criminal bankers that control the state will label you as facilitating “unlicensed money transmission” or some other made up term and will put you in a cage.
A service allowing human rights such as free exchange cannot have an admin. Enter Haveno.
I’m thinking, only the prosecutors in america will go for this. Other jurisdictions have different laws and are more lax with the money transmission laws. Allowing localmomero to federate means people in america can still make trades in european servers.
All other countries will do anything america tells them to do since they have the power to turn off their financial system.
Going forward any activity that threatens the bankers should be done on unstoppable decentralized services that use tor and or I2p. There should be no IP address associated with any server that they can go after.
The world is a large place and there are places which Uncle Sam’s grubby hands cannot grasp.
Yes, a federated localmonero instance can have i2p & tor mirrors.

The bottom of the Mariana trench?
Facilitate deez nuts
Let me guess, you do nothing yourself and just wait for others to do it.
idk why i replied that lol. I was bored
gotcha ;)
i’m gonna save this
nah
The site(s) should operate like Nodes in a peer to peer network over TOR, where it is impossible to trace it back. We need strong enough technology where bravery is not required, the same way that Monero has been designed, for a hostile environment.
I think we have that already. It’s called ‘Haveno’.
Also, i’ve been on haveno. Seems like it’s more active in europe. It’s not as active in the US from what i can see.
Haveno is federated??
This is like complaining that your new EV doesn’t have a large enough gasoline tank.
Haveno is something much better than federated: it is decentralized.
yeah, ok, cool. I was actually confused because I was already under the assumption that haveno was p2p decentralized and since you commented on my post, which was asking for a federated localmonero, that “we have that already: haveno” i got confused.
Haveno is close to what you’re describing, it doesnt have federation yet, but it’s discussed here https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/901
Use Cake if you don’t want to use Haveno
yall seen muh pops?? :tiresome:
Is there a p2p web browser like bittorent with privacy? No? Then why look for half measures use monero and haveno? Be your own bank also means be your own server.
Isn’t there also a blockchain on which files and websites can be hosted? ipfs or something?
