RetroShare

Does someone have experience with setting up RetroShare on Mac OS?

I tried helping @texxmexx to set it up, but I myself am on Windows. 



For some reason the node-address is blank.

I found i fix for it, I reinstalled tor browser then replaced "tor.exe" in retroshare with the tor.exe within the tor browser files

RS does not work together with Tor Browser. I mentioned it several times in this thread. It's interesting how this can be fixed by replacing the binaties.

Since we're on a related topic (versions and issues with) I'm curious if I'm woefully behind.  I had upgraded at one point to one of the December point releases but experienced some issues so rolled back.  

I'm on Windows 0.6.7a-4-ga1fdce2e5.  Any other windows people have you found success with one since?  


Also in other news I'm hovering around 995 friends and a high score of 38 online today!  @Like Ra I'm curious - if you don't mind what's a real OG high score/what are you at:  5K friends?  😊

I would suggest to remove the keys of the peers not active for longer than 1 year. That would keep the amount of peers around 600 and active peers (at any time) around 30-40.

The less non-active peers the faster RS scans through the list.

Thank you!  Pro Tips welcome!

Strange - Maybe I'm checking the wrong place but checking Network | Keyring, sort by 'Last Used' - my oldest is 64d.

Yes, this is correct.

Excellent! Then all your peers are of a good quality! 👍

For anyone still having the 30% problem.

If using the appimage, fix is to install / update your tor binary then specify it on the command line. ./appimage -t /path/to/tor

Question for @Like Ra or anyone else more knowledgeable than me. Apologies if this has already been asked / answered, I searched but could not find clear answer.

I've posted my key all over the place. Here on various RS forums / boards.
Whenever I'm online, I go through the keyring tab, people online in the last hour or day and "accept connections".

Does me accepting the connection from the keyring also send a friend request? Or do you need to also send friend request?

Thank you,

Oh most definitely.  Champagne for my real friends.  Real pain for my sham friends.
