Communication with people sounds more professional than retoswap team, I appreciate that.

Fees are unclear 0.6% fee for who? maker or taker?

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 1 points 21 minutes ago

Thank you and appreciated !

Good catch about the fees, we clarified these here and also on the official sites.

I'm too lazy to copy-paste...

Here are my thoughts: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1m2guuz/comment/n3rvuja/

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hello,

Read your concerns and assuming you're a concerned citizen of the Monero community;

Feel free to compare the souce code with Haveno on Github and compile it yourself. I'm sure there are plenty of knowledgeable devs in our community who do this by default. If you're also familiar with how Haveno works and you did the above then you know it's a non-custodial solution unlike a CEX for example.

At the end it's the same way when Reto came to life, chicken and the egg story, what counts is hard proof as in code and making sure Monero is as decentralized as possible. No one wants 1 exchange and a single point of failure as this was never intended by the Haveno Network project.

Thank you again for your concerns and feel free to post my reply on your Reddit thread.

Dawn

Got it!

Some good questions were asked here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1m2guuz/comment/n3rvuja/

Could you answer them?

Thank you!

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 1 points 13 minutes ago

No problem, we'll try to provide also updates there. Reddit is a bit of a pain as for new accounts their auto-filters are deleting posts just like that or otherwise it's the infamous educational error saying "Something went wrong ..." when trying to login. Wish more people would migrate away to platforms like these. Sent last week also a private message to the #monero mods.

[–] monerobull@monero.town 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

as this was never intended by the Haveno Network project.

Jesus these guys are running a network and have no clue about Havenos history. It was in fact VERY MUCH intended to only have one network. I know this because I was voted by the community to be on the council that was supposed to run it....

Haveno is already decentralized, secondary networks have nothing but downsides, negatively impacting the Monero DEX experience for all users.

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm afraid that is incorrect and it would be better if one of the core Haveno project devs if they're around provide an official word on this and prevent confusion. In the meantime here are some links on the official Haveno-dex github showing how lively this is and important to have Haveno instances and progress to for example federation. Not only good for the ecosystem resiliency by having decentralized Haveno instances but also tackle the issue of fragmentation.

https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/901 https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/1771 and more if you search

Also from the official haveno.exchange website faq you can follow the logic of the q/a, it is not intended to be used for 1 network (which is a single point of failure as you know).

[–] monerobull@monero.town 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

How new are you guys? I am talking about the history, not what was put up afterwards. Originally there was supposed to be 1 network, run by the engine council.

We only have 1 Monero network, is that a single point of failure? I hear nobody arguing that there should be a second one.

[–] XMRbutterfly@monero.town 2 points 1 day ago

MoneroBull, not to create confusion, but you're comparing apples with knives.

Any knife can cut an apple, but people choose which one to use because knife manufacturers compete with each other to make theirs the best quality possible, but any apple can be cut, just in a different way.

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 3 points 1 day ago

You're most welcome to send a private message or post here to explain the history you're talking about or provide some resources to read, that is always interesting. For the rest, we're focussing on the present and the future to do something good and be part of the monero community. No bad intent here and it was expected that we would be grilled when going public. Thanks anyway for your input !

[–] XMRbutterfly@monero.town 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Hello! Questions:

How can you prove that you are not a scam like others who have tried to compete with RetoSwap?
Will you support I2P?
RetoSwap vs DawnSwap?

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Kindly see my reply to TheFuzzStone. As for I2P, i hope this will be possible and perhaps a bounty program can be setup for the Haveno Network developers to do this. We rather help Haveno then creating an I2P solution which might or might not work and try to convince Haveno to implement our code. As for RetoSwap vs DawnSwap, we're new but assume the Reto team knows it is critical and in the Haveno spirit to have real decentralization, choice and avoid the CEX trap turning into a single point of failure.

[–] monerobull@monero.town 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is not decentralization, this is splintering the decentralized network we already have.

[–] xmr_unlimited@monero.town 2 points 1 day ago

just let it happen you can't police the ecosystem. Haveno is nascent as it is. Even if a scam I'm sure this will end up having improvements to the underlying haveno. Like existing idea of just one core binary with just an extra config for each network.

[–] xmr_unlimited@monero.town 3 points 2 days ago

Haveno doesnt support i2p. If it was added it would be more understandable for 2 networks to exist. or maybe if more coins added to trade. How to prove something is a scam? How is anyone meant to answer that? If the new guys make solid tails instructions you mat get users, since people can't read it may be forever a problem.

the certificate isn’t valid for dawnswap.com. The certificate is only valid for: *.github.io, *.github.com, *.githubusercontent.com, github.com, github.io, githubusercontent.com, www.github.com.

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Thank you @HardenedSteel for the heads up, we're waiting for the ssl certificate deployment as we speak. In the meantime our main website is a mirror which for now will give a valid ssl connection: https://dawn-collective.net/

UPDATE: https://dawnswap.com/ has its ssl certificate active and loading nicely

[–] DragonSidedD@monero.town 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Kind of OT but as a James Joyce enjoyer I like the name, it evokes this paper which always stuck with me

Dawn: A study of the present age and Finnegans wake through a close look at FW page 594, one page sufficient for our time

Literally 250+ pages unpacking one single page of the original ~700 page book, much of which reads like it was encrypted/compressed.

[–] monerobull@monero.town 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Bad look reusing the RetoSwap naming scheme, makes me immediately suspicious why they would do that.

"Show me the incentives and I'll show you the outcome." - The only incentives I see here are for the admins to exit scam.

Id stay far away from this one, just like the last two scam haveno networks.

[–] dawncollective@monero.town 3 points 2 days ago

Monerobull, i enjoy reading some of your posts on Reddit and that you're very active in the Monero community. I hope you understand this is not the way to attack a new initiative by trying to corner people to 1 service. It is completely against the Haveno Network initiative and intention of the developers who put in blood, sweat and tears to get that off the ground. Mark my words, we need decentralization, choice and more cooperation in the community.
