Town currently still blocks Tor exit nodes (because it is getting ddosed by them) and rucknium understandably doesn’t want to connect without it.

If I understand your question right, I think you’re looking for the inverse cumulative distribution function (a.k.a. quantile function) of the Erlang distribution.
The random length of time to mine the next block has an exponential distribution with rate parameter 1/t
. The length of time to mine n
blocks has an Erlang distribution with shape parameter n
and rate parameter 1/t
.
The Erlang distribution is a special case of the Gamma distribution. The Erlang distribution’s shape parameter must be an integer, but the Gamma distribution’s shape parameter can be any positive real number. We can use the Gamma distribution if Erlang isn’t given to us by our calculator.
You would compute T
in the R language with:
qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n
The results of this simulation match the closed-form computation:
t <- 120
n <- 15
p <- 0.4
set.seed(314)
mining.times <- matrix(rexp(n * 100000, rate = 1/t), ncol = n)
mining.times <- rowSums(mining.times)
quantile(mining.times/n, probs = p)
qgamma(p = p, shape = n, rate = 1/t)/n
# Divide by n to get the mean instead of the total
Sometimes Trocador when I need to pay for something that doesn’t accept Monero. If you use the ref-link in the monero.town sidebar it also helps fund the site without swaps costing any extra!
I am currently the sole admin. If a trusted community member wants to join me, they of course can but there really is not much to do besides approving new registrations and upgrading lemmy from time to time. In the case of me getting hit by a bus, decentralization is still given since federation with monero.town would work for at least a couple more months. Ideally, at some point in the future, the community moves away from federation to a properly decentralized system like nostr anyways.
Haveno-reto.com has plenty of links to different guides and most bisq documentation and principles carry over to haveno.
Decentralized reputation is not a thing. Every single approach can easily be gamed by scammers. Bisq2 requires people to buy thousands of $bsq for reputation.
That’s even easier, just make an offer selling XMR for the fiat you want?
On haveno you have a multisig that makes sure you actually receive your Monero after paying instead of just getting scammed.
https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno is set to stagenet but I don’t know if there are any offers to take.
https://haveno-reto.com is the domain you need if you want to actually trade on mainnet
FCMP is being worked on by kayaba who has delivered in the past.
Reto has been working pretty well for me. Sure, startup can take a while but I’ve heard they are migrating all the seednodes to tor pow which should help with the ddos attacks.
And what is easier to take down, a website or a decentralized network of nodes?
Haveno is literally just a .exe you run. Looks like he wants a DEX with NO setup.
Just use Haveno to buy XMR directly, way cheaper and quicker than dealing with bisq and BTC transactions.

A little off-topic but I guess proton called Monero a shitcoin so it’s a little tiny bit on topic ;)
Well, many of the exploited ones are already gone.
You can also do this with featherwallet, just get the download link from getmonero.org so you don’t click on the phishing site.
