reg. 'my thread is x days old and hasn't been approved' - i think there should be a paid position for one of our Reddit mods to dedicate maybe 3 hours per week? less? more? (mon/wed/fri) to simply sitting in front of a screen and approving threads. They would have 'office hours' so that you know if you post a thread they will be online / pick up their phone to check. Thoughts?

Tangentially, shouldn't u/fluffyponyza be suspended from the r/Monero moderation team at least while he is in custody?

plowsof[m]: why would that position have to be paid? There are only a few people who have the permissions to authorise posts/proposals, and the reason they have those permissions (one assumes) is because they are entrusted by the community act in its best interests, regardless of monetary incentive. Though, maybe I am incorrect on this.

A more fundamental question: Why is r/Monero moderated so heavily that mods have to regularly manually approve posts? r/btc has a relaxed moderation policy and it seems to do just fine (except maybe too many anti-BTC Twitter posts).

Rucknium[m]: Because of things like monero-badcaca.net - haha

Does the downvote button not work on r/Monero? That's how r/BTC handles it.

Or people just engage (fruitlessly) with BTC supporters.

midipoet: I agree with you! that's how it should work. But maybe those same few people are in different circumstances in life now where they have less time (be it a new job / family) - what are the options? add new mods? take into consideration the new 'moons' on r/cc where there is a financial incentive to be in 'good standing' with the community, new 'talent' would be there right?. Sure, anyone of us could be a mod .. and make

sure threads are posted on time.. but we're human.. why spend an hour of your life for free simply clicking 'approve' on a thread, or rushing to your phone to get someones thread posted when you could be delivering pizzas for $

1 hour a week paid slave labour? 😄

Inspiral: is that 'badcaca' website someone with a remote node logging any ip who connects to it?

or an advanced 'misbehaving' node?

does anybody have a solution to this issue?

i don't, but see how it could be frustrating for the poster

<midipoet> "does anybody have a solution..." <- Is Monero.social on matrix not allowing Tor connections? That seems like an oversight

There are several CCS proposal ideas which probably need discussing... (full message at libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/do…519094723148cd22fe731be5b461918f87b)

In particular, there is this proposal from 2019(!) By Rehrar for 36C3 supplies

The proposal was funded nearly two years ago at the then price of €50 per XMR with a huge sum of 560 XMR

Is it correct to say that Core has custody of those funds but they are segregated from the "general fund"?

Yes, donations to the ccs head to a different wallet

I believe that is generally the case. But this specific proposal is for the 2019 conference which definitely happened in the past and had a Monero presence

So the state of this large amount of funds seems a bit mysterious

if it indeed was not 'paid out', im of the understanding that they would have returned it back to the GF (see the 'accept monero at tesla proposal')

there’s also this. forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progr…/globee-s-secret-project-fundraiser

4000 paid out of 4865 raised

I believe 36C3 CCS was paid out

For ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/monerofm.html

The remaining balance can be transfered to general dev fund

ajs_[m]: I thought the proposal was that this would be used to fund xmr.radio?

1 year operating costs has already been paid

And I changed my mind about setting up an LLC because it would create unnecessary expenses and as it is, I don't see the station becoming profitable any time soon.

It would make sense to store a comment explaining all these point here ~>

repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/165

Will do

<plowsof[m]> "if it indeed was not 'paid out',..." <- It would be good to get confirmation of this as it is not an insubstantial amount

over the years many things did not get tracked properly

or rather not get displayed properly

plowsof[m]: I already voluntarily go over basically every thread manually

I forwarded the post of the user to the mod channel, because I wasn't sure whether it should be approved

Rucknium[m]> A more fundamental question: Why is r/Monero moderated so heavily that mods have to regularly manually approve posts? <= We have/had lots of spam that requires somewhat more stringent moderation

Also we have dedicated subs for mining, trading, and support, which requires moderation insofar as threads need to be diverted to different subs

<Rucknium[m]> "A more fundamental question: Why..." <- Literally spam. The same person who attacked the Monero network last fall/winter makes a living off a dev fee doing nothing so basically their full time job is harassing any and all elements of the infrastructure, reddit included

* infrastructure, reddit and GitHub issues included

* dev fee on a scamcoin doing nothing, * infrastructure, reddit and GitHub issues included

Doh, Nina'd

* Doh, Ninja'd

<midipoet> does anybody have a solution to this issue? <= I can post his proposal I guess

Does anyone know if xmr.radio telegram is bridged to matrix? cc ajs_

No, it's not

I keep wanting to ask xmr.radio questions, but don't have TG and don't want to spam this channel, lol. Maybe one day I'll setup a burner for TG

There is also a discord

<ajs_[m]> "I believe 36C3 CCS was paid out" <- Only the first half was. The second was not. I have tried continuously to get parasew and RIAT to claim it, but to no avail.

<plowsof[m]> "if it indeed was not 'paid out',..." <- You are overestimating the speed at which some things move.

DiegoSalazar[m]: did they pay out of their pocket?

> I keep wanting to ask xmr.radio questions, but don't have TG and don't want to spam this channel, lol. Maybe one day I'll setup a burner for TG

Try Anbox or Android-x86 VM with a virtual number from SMSPVA or TextVerified. You just need to register on the (emulated) Android app, which can give you a login code for the desktop or CLI version. After this, you can use the desktop/CLI version to receive login codes for the Telegram web version (or continue using the desktop version).

I can confirm that this works to set up a Telegram account, but it's a hassle. Also, do not delete the VM since you will need it again for verification to login from other devices.

Selsta: yes

What exactly does it mean for RIAT to claim 2nd half, in practice? I suspect they are just busy with other stuff, maybe we can facilitate the admin required

<binaryFate> "What exactly does it mean for..." <- It's not this simple. They were supposed to submit a sheet of thenfull expenses, and as I understand, RIAT has experienced some personnel changes.

Although I don't recall if the CCS mandated the sheet, he kept saying he would make and submit it. If it doesn't we can reach out to them, though I have done this at least a half dozen times while I worked for core.

ok, I could get in touch if it's urgent but I don't think it is. So I'd leave that pending until RL meetings with RIAT folks are possible again (hopefully CCC end of year)
