Hey, guys. I started using monero not so long ago, but I often need to swap SOL, BTC, ETH to Monero and vice versa. Could you recommend services where I can do it with protecting my anonymity, coz it's different blockchains?

@rottenwheel@lemmy.zip brought up the issue of using samourai wallet nodes in Mysu.

I agree that samourai wallet nodes should be removed, but I'm wondering which other nodes we should (and more importantly should not) use by default?
Should I just copy random nodes with good uptime history from https://monero.fail/, or is there some consensus in the community about some nodes being a little bit more trustworthy, e.g. due to being run by trusted community members?
Anyway, here is the list of the current default nodes: https://codeberg.org/anoncontributorxmr/mysu/src/branch/master/app/src/main/java/net/mynero/wallet/data/DefaultNodes.kt, your feedback is welcome.

Using Statistics to Improve Monero with Rucknium (MT 323)

TODAY'S 🎙SHOW: Douglas Tuman interviews Rucknium, an empirical microeconomist and Monero Research Lab member specializing in probability and statistical analysis who has made some very impressive contributions to Monero. Including discovering a way to speed up monero transaction confirmations by 60 seconds!

In this first ever interview, Rucknium maintains his anonymity by typing his responses and having a monero friend sit in to read his answers. Tremendous thank you to Patchy319 for doing so!

The conversation centers around Monero’s privacy technology, scalability, and Rucknium’s contributions to the project. They highlight the challenges of Monero’s scalability, including node performance and transaction volume, as well as ongoing efforts to address these issues through StressNet, Network-level privacy solutions like Dandelion++ and potential improvements through the Clover protocol are also explored. We also get to hear a preview of Rucknium’s upcoming presentation at Monerotopia24 Confer!
