monero bros don't want things to get too centralized, that's the issue. creating sources of trust isn't a very good idea if it can be avoided.

however, the idea of an exhaustive info and link aggregator is a really good idea imo

Yeah would've been nice if Cake Wallet would've used Monero.com for something like this what you're saying, other than their dumb wallet, but here we are..

Anyway I think this getmonero.org is more than enough for people to get their feet wet. Pointing them to an exhaustive source right away is too overwhelming.

However, I do share your sentiment for an exhaustive Monero information aggregator and learning center. Monerica comes to mind, but i think it's mostly focused on the circular economy.

is the domain onemonero.com one that you own?

also MoneroLand is a cool domain name lol

let me know of you get serious about this, I'd love to contribute my personal KB and knowledge to the site

sorry, I worded it wrong. ill edit it. I meant to say there are plenty of solutions for DDOS protection with a reverse proxy. Probably in such a way that doesn't require a MITM.

thanks for this info. it would've been nice if they'd made a blogpost about this and put it on the front page or something, not just a response in a matrix room.

that way people can help and make suggestions. I really dont think a cloudflare mitm is necessary for DDOS protection. A DDOS protection service with reverse proxy would be fine, there's likely many companies that have this kind of service that dont require MITM like CF, or they could probably self-host one.

really good stuff, thanks so much

no prob bro

absolute fax

I cannot begin to tell how pissed this makes me.

Please for the love of all that is holy, do NOT call your site or yourself "privacy-respecting" or "privacy-oriented", and then meet me with a Cloudflare MITM to knowingly and willingly give over everything i input in your site to NSA Inc.

I'm sick to my stomach of all these orgs and companies and people talking about privacy, and then they constantly do all these kinds of things thst prove that they don't actually care about privacy or anonymity or anything in between. They are Vipers and Snakes trying to make a quick dollar on a buzzword. It's become sadly trite.

We must return to the dark ages of p2p. The age of self-hosting, blockchain (the truly good parts like monero), ipfs, bittorrent, tor onions, i2p, any other p2p or decentralized network - these kinds of things are all that stands between us and internet controlled by a handful of NSA-worshipping megacorps.

factual statements. many people do know and care, but yeah, most people have no freaking idea what's going on, let alone care. Even "privacy" people often don't care.

If a substantiated news article came out showing that Cloudflare shared SSL keys or otherwise gave direct access to various intelligence agencies without a court order, that would essentially destroy the company. So they certainly aren't doing that.

excuse me, what?? The Snowden documents came out showing all these companies literally giving over all their data to the NSA like it was water from a spring, and they are all still in business. AT&T, facebook, google, microsoft, dropbox, etc. Yet you claim somehow cloudflare would be destroyed?? This isnt even funny bro.

more recently, Hetzner was showed to have given backdoor access to the feds, yet people still buy VPSs from them, and in fact, 20% of TOR guard nodes are sitting on their infra RIGHT NOW!

Case in point: people using such companies either don't care or are really ignorant or stupid.

it's all over the internet but here's a good place to start

can you give a link to your site? I'm interested now.

I love this crypto tip idea, we need all kinds of creative ways to get the word out just like this. would be cool if monero merch shops provided more stuff like this.

edit: oh wait, I remember Monero Master now. yeah, hoping you get your own site soon and maybe rally some people like monerica, monero market, etc to include your badge on their site, maybe sell some physical ones too
