Atomic Swap rendez-vous point
19/07/2025
It has sure been a while since we added any news!
We just launched our own rendez-vous point, which is a service for finding peers to swap Bitcoin to Monero with using Atomic Swaps:
/dns4/darkness.su/tcp/8888/p2p/12D3KooWFQAgVVS9t9UgL6v1sLprJVM7am5hFK7vy9iBCCoCBYmU
The main advantages of Atomic Swaps are that you can get Monero in exchange for Bitcoin with no KYC and no possibility of losing funds.
To use Atomic Swaps, download EigenWallet and follow the steps shown on startup:
https://eigenwallet.org
Our rendez-vous point is in the default set, so you don’t need to do anything to add it.
New blockchain infrastructure
12/03/2024
We are now launching more blockchain components!
Our blockchain infrastructure servers have been going live starting 07/03/2024, specifically validators on the Gnosis chain. As of today we have a count of 2 validators, one of which has already started producing blocks.
You can find our first block here:
https://gnosischa.in/block/32833385
If you study it carefully, you should find we leave a little memento in every block.
While this is not a service you can interact with, we are proud to provide better security for the blockchain and are very supportive of the Gnosis project in particular and its multitude of products that make DeFi better.
XMPP registrations are open
05/02/2024
The darkness.su XMPP server is open for registrations once again!
Both web and in-band registrations have been enabled. This is following the implementation of two very important modules to prevent spammers:
- mod_firewall with smart traffic filtering rules from JabberSPAM
- mod_e2e_policy configured to require encryption of outbound messages using OTR, OMEMO or PGP, and reject any non-encrypted messages
The first will block inbound spam traffic through behavior analysis, while the second will prevent outbound spam as spammers do not usually encrypt their messages and are likely to just head to a different server instead of implementing it. Unencrypted inbound messages will not be blocked by this, so you won’t miss out on any attempts to contact you.
