There is several feature requests for this already, you may upvote: https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/9063

Here is an idea what one can do to reduce seeding of a high peer count torrents:

  1. if you have some paused complete torrents, make sure to label these to reflect the reason for pausing
  2. unpause all complete torrents
  3. disable limit of number of actively seeding torrents (queuing) to make all torrents actively seeding (this will update seeder counts, longer to wait = possibly better?)
  4. select to display only Seeding state torrents
  5. sort all according to the Seeder count by clicking the column header
  6. select all with high amount of seeders (lets say 10+) by clicking first one, holding Shift key, click last one), right click and set them label "High seeder count torrents tmp paused 2025-04" and then pause these torrents.

-> You end up seeding only low seeded torrents. After several months or a year, you can repeat the process.

 

I can not see into the device nor into app code (even if app has open source?), it may be unlikely, but maybe malicious official HW wallet application can be instructed to transmit private key or a seed phrase from the wallet to the manufacturer/third party? Is there any article on this topic?

I do not think that there is any option beside default automatic relocation upon torrent download completion. You can create symbolic link/shortcut manually.

 

When I am following a person A on social network X and person B retweets person A post, it means that on my timeline is that post 2 times, a duplicity. How can i fix this issue in X settings, if that is possible?

 

Hello, for example other trade party sent me SEPA bank transfer in correct amount, maybe even mentioning their name in a transfer note (matching their name in RetoSwap trade details), but the sending account number is different from what they have in RetoSwap.

Please kindly tell me what to do, all the cases and how to handle these cases and ideally why?

For example I can copy paste the transfer detail to the chat and ask the trade party if this transfer is theirs. And if they confirm, I can mark the money as received assuming it causes no risk for me. But what if the party does not respond and the allowed trade time-frame expires?

Thx. It is currently very inconvenient, since when I spend BTC from my Electrum wallet address. I have to find out output transaction destination BTC address and set it as a new cryptocurrency account in Haveno. I mean when I spend part of my address funds, it sends one output to other party of a trade and second output into a newly generated wallet of mine.

 

On my years old free X account, I have been active in last days posting replies to other people (important politicians which gets many replies to their posts) comments (I mean politician posts, other person reply it and I reply to this reply), me adding around 30 replies in maybe 36 hours.

Interesting is that after these few days, when I go to https://x.com/me/likes I can not see a single like or a reply, yet my replies were thoughtful and opposing other people opinion. I have used secondary browser where I am not logged-in (Tor browser) to check couple posts if I can see my replies and I could see it. When I have been last active on X, before around 7 months, I see that I have got a reply to my comment.

On my recent comments, I can see a button with a vertical bars (like an analytics), yet it says that something went wrong, when I click it. Maybe some of my browser extensions blocks it.

In recent days, I have changed my account important/security settings and X not allowed me to change my email/password. Also my comments usually contains one or even two links to prove my claim, so that may also looks spammy.

Shadow ban? I have checked https://hisubway.online/shadowban/ and https://taishin-miyamoto.com/ShadowBan/ with no problem detected.

https://help.x.com/en/forms does not show any relevant contact category where I would ask. Any idea what to try please?

The point is that the value would need to be default for everyone so makers needs to lower their fees. As has been said the fee/spread would have to be set the way so the users cover their cost (do not loose anything by trading) and also has some benefit out of the trade (like up to lets say 2% buffer).

 

ISSUE: I have been watching SELL XMR for fiat (SEPA) tab of the RetoSwap (Haveno fork) for a couple of weeks and there is rarely an offer below 3% fee. Most offers are around predatory 6% fee.

Since there is low amount of offers, some people put the 9% or similar dirty fee and this seems to be pushing up the average % rate of the future offers, making the Haveno not a good option for trading. When trading reversible pair, you do not want to create your offer, because you can not select with whom to trade by placing a limit on your trading partner (like account age and such).

SUGGESTION: Maybe if the maximum allowed spread from a market price is set to 2.5% or similar, there would be less predators and more people who really want to do the fair/market price trade. As a newbie when you open the app and see the SELL/BUY spread for fiat like 12%, it is pretty bad place to trade.

Thanks, though note this:

Exolix: "Users must undergo AML/KYC procedures" source: https://kycnot.me/service/exolix

Trocador: "Trocador's partners may require KYC checks and monitor transactions" source: https://kycnot.me/service/trocador

 

https://unstoppableswap.net / https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/core makers (i do not mean a SW developers, but swap providers) seems to have swap markup (assuming a fee) of around 3% which is too expensive and along with the limits on amount of traded coin pretty unusable IMO. Am I missing any makers or source for it which allows near zero fees/markup? Why such makers are not available (by default)?

I am currently using RetoSwap https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto which allowed me to place and complete the BTC and ETH exchange to XMR at 0% fee. (only paying regular Monero tx fee for a temporary custody)

How to setup an UnstoppableSwap maker? Is it this https://github.com/UnstoppableSwap/core/blob/master/dev-docs/asb/README.md . I do not see any easy to understand tutorial for layman which would tell me the requirements (evaluate the cost) + be easily understandable.

Official repository https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto description also mentions that new site address.

Monero does not appreciate in its price as much as mainstream cryptocurrencies so I am not holding much Monero. Rather using it occasionally to buy the hosting/server services for privacy. I can buy/sell XMR privately for fiat or BTC/ETH/LTC using RetoSwap https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto

Haveno itself is a testing version which does not allow real trading.

You need to find other software based on Haveno, which allows real trading (uses Monero mainnet servers while Haveno itself a testnet?).

Possibly most popular is Reto (RetoSwap). Its official Github repository is https://github.com/retoaccess1/haveno-reto

I am yet to find any list of Haveno mainnet software. Btw. here is some guide which explains steps for trading inside Haveno based trading software: https://internetlifeforum.com/showthread.php?28833-Exchanging-Monero-and-fiat-privately-without-KYC-using-open-source-software-Haveno

Do You have any comment on these claims about Haveno?

1

they don't allow to use external wallets such as OpenMonero to post arbitration bonds from, thus making haveno-reto less secure then OM.

HuggingChat AI comment:

Arbitration bonds are a crucial component of Haveno dispute resolution mechanism, and requiring users to hold funds within Haveno own wallet might increase the risk of centralization. However, it is essential to consider the reasoning behind this design choice. Perhaps the developers aimed to simplify the user experience or reduce the attack surface by limiting wallet interactions.

In my opinion, Haveno-reto is not decentralized at all, bc order book is not shared between instances.

Thanks ♥️, RBF means likely Replace By Fee which is the way to send TX again with a different fee, causing initial TX replacement. Unfortunately it looks like my Electrum BTC wallet does not have this feature (maybe because i have used "coin control" to select outputs for the payment?).

I assume that when you are linking to a Bisq page while we are talking Haveno, the Haveno is using Bisq penalties? https://docs.haveno.exchange/ does not seem to list any table of penalties.

 

I see that my cryptocurrency to cryptocurrency trade period is 1 day. It can happen that my cryptocurrency payment (made to the wallet of other user) is not confirmed during that 1 day period. So what happens next?

The tooltip says that when the period is exceeded, both parties can open a dispute. But that does not give me any idea about how this is handled and what are the risks. I am unable to find the answer at https://docs.haveno.exchange/the-project/trade-protocol/?query=trade+period

 

My BTC wallet (Electrum) generates addresses which I can use for receiving new coins. So I have copied one unused address and set is as my Haveno account.

Now I want to sell BTC on Haveno (I have BTC on different address than the one I have set), so during trade I can send from any wallet or I must send from the one I have defined as my Haveno BTC wallet?

Maybe my question is nonsense, since I do not understand Bitcoin technicals. Thank you

[–] hetzlemmingsworld 1 points 4 months ago

I appreciate your replies ♥️ , it is very helpful. Thank you.

 

When i select an offer marked as SEPA, Haveno-reto warns that I have multiple SEPA payment accounts set and notice me that i should select correct one.

What If I accidentally select my SEPA account on a offer, which is marked as SEPA instant? Both accounts has same IBAN. Can I face any issues in arbitration etc.? I mean for example the system would require action earlier than the transaction would be complete.

[–] hetzlemmingsworld 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

you will receive either your security deposit, or that PLUS my security deposit, or maybe even the whole trade amount

So the security deposits are in place to try to make it unprofitable to scam people in this situations.

So If I do not set a sec. deposit in my offer, then i still get mine and MAYBE your deposit, which makes it unprofitable already. Isn't it unprofitable just because the scam attempting user has to pay the transaction fee + risking his standard (non security) deposit? (we are still talking about irreversible exchange BTC/XMR)

 

Placing an offer to sell my BTC and get XMR, it prefill 15% security deposit for both traders and this % is customizable. Why not to set it to 0% if both payment methods (BTC, XMR) are irreversible and why Haveno-reto does not set it like that automatically?

Existing offers of this currency pair usually has 15% or 40% deposit and the fee 1.8-20% which is also weird, I would expect people would be willing to trade like 0-1% just to cover the crypto. fees.

 

At https://docs.haveno.exchange/the-project/payment_methods/0-all-methods/#2-altcoin-payment-methods I can not find any explanation why the limit is placed, i assume that it limits the loss per trade, but then the scammer can do multiple trades and the loss is the same? So what is the point? If it is not like that, then please explain or link me to an explanation? Thank you
