I'm looking for one (or many) m3u playlists that aren't, shall we say, existing easy to find perfectly legal playlists of public streams. Things like channels that show f1 races, football games, cable channels, stuff you'd generally not get easy access to.

Does anyone know where I can find IPTV playlists with stuff like that?

At least 2 separate Haveno networks have launched as of today. One is called Reto and the other is called HardenedSteel. Those are the only ones I'm aware of right now, and things are happening pretty fast.

The haveno software was designed with the assumption that only a single network would be operated. People could fork it and run their own networks, but they wouldn't interact directly at all. But it looks to me as of this moment this is not how it is going to play out.

The client has the network info hard coded. So to use more than one, you need two copies of the client. This means that for most people they have to pick one. And, users might not understand this, just google "haveno" and pull the first git repo they see. This has significant, fast moving and quickly ossifying network effects with big repercussions.

We need to be very vigilant right now, as we are about to witness the very swift rise of a major power broker in our community. We don't want to start using a Haveno network run by scammers or authoritarians. Each network is it's arbitrators, and soon, the merchants on each one.

I think it's probably a good idea to figure out a way to connect to multiple networks, and to show listings with details about which network/arbitrator set a user is trusting when taking up a listing.

I'm cautiously optimistic, Monero has gotten rid of powerful people without a hitch before. But it is a bigger community now and that will be much harder to do. If we are vigilant during this time and we get through this successfully I think we become unbeatable, but the road directly ahead of us is treacherous, the next few days are going to move very fast.

Specifically ones listed on kycnot.me. I'm asking (as I'm sure you can guess) because I'm considering buying some XMR via a swap or two and I don't want to get my funds stuck indefinitely.

I've been noticing this lately. If you want to buy Monero or other cryptocurrencies, you have to KYC, set up accounts, have a bank account, wire money, all that stuff.

However, if you want to spend it or sell it there are a plethora of options, as simple as buying a prepaid card, or just doing business with people that accept it directly.

Bonus: once your capital is in Monero or Bitcoin or something, moving it around is relatively easy with swap services, atomic swaps and the like. Even p2p services, you don't have to worry about PayPal, bank accounts, cash in the mail or any of that. Once your capital is internet native you're golden.

This is a sign to me that it's more valuable than fiat and people are seeing that. Now it makes more (practical, tangible) sense to get all your capital into cryptocurrency than keeping it in fiat and just buying cryptocurrency when you need it, as it was a few years ago. If you can get all your capital into Monero or something, you can easily get fiat when you need it, the reverse is not as true.

I predict that the barriers to entry will be increasingly bigger than the barriers to exit as time goes on, in an attempt to stop the bleeding, but that it will backfire into people preferring crypto directly and make things better for all of us. And this also means less of a need to exit in the first place.

I would guess this is due to the Mali government taking control of the .ml TLD, but whatever it is means I cannot get the CSV file for a search.

Is there a mirror somewhere that I can use? This was my main way of searching torrents.

Something to think about. It is pointless to interact with any of those posts directly here, so as a result they get no engagement. They're just links to Reddit, and I feel like they're just funnelling engagement back there. I can't help but notice, possibly incorrectly, that activity here sharply dropped as soon as that bot went active.

If we want the content here, wouldn't it make more sense to pull non self post content directly and post it as a first class Lemmy post here without linking to the reddit post?

If our goal is to make this the new Monero home, wouldn't a better approach be adding this site to the sidebar on the subreddit, or having automod inform every poster about it's existence? Is moving here even our goal anymore?

I figured I'd post this here so that people can know about it. If it is against the rules mods please let me know.

To make this project succeed we need content. There are other RSS to Lemmy bots out there, but they are all difficult to use. This one is easy; the configuration file is pretty self explanatory and the options make it easy to get content onto many Lemmy instances and communities.

Let me know what you think, feedback/comments, and of course feel free to open an issue in the issue tracker for the repo.

I built this specifically for monero.town, but anyone can use it anywhere. It is pretty easy to configure, all the info is in the readme and there's an example configuration file to get you started using it.

Feel free to aso me any questions you want, recommendations, and also feel free to open issues in the repo.

I could build it, but I don't currently have a VPS or other server to run it. A bot that posted whenever Revuo Monero, The Monero Standard, etc would go a long way towards making this place the only place you need to go for Monero news and information.
