00:04:23 <chad[m]1> The confiscation argument has been around since early Bitcoin days. Its a problem with PoW too (think of FED seizing a warehouse of ASICs), but PoS makes it 1000000x easier for them
00:56:27 <crypto_grampy[m]> Seth For Privacy: just fyi, i added a feature request to run Monero in pruned mode in BTCPayServer: https://github.com/btcpayserver/btcpayserver-docker/issues/557
00:58:55 <surgeon_[m]> <atomfried[m]> "a random thought about PoS for..." <- Or they could just their budget/money printer to get control of the network?
00:59:03 <surgeon_[m]> * Or they could just use their budget/money printer to get control of the network?
01:32:32 <entry1[m]> <surgeon_[m]> "Or they could just their budget..." <- Watch the bullrun was just the central banks buying up a bulk of the crypto assets 😂 we just outplayed ourselves
01:39:29 <komikono[m]> <atomfried[m]> "a random thought about PoS for..." <- afaik the big DNM's don't accept ZEC though
03:08:48 <unscottable[m]> <komikono[m]> "afaik the big DNM's don't accept..." <- they dont, everyone is hip to ZEC being a honeypot lol. its not a very well kept secret. 
04:01:41 <ajs_[m]> If anything, I am sure after they switch to PoS they will claim they are not a "privacy coin" anymore to try to appeal to regulators and boomer investors like Dash
04:07:19 <ajs_[m]> Perhaps have some type of safe deposit box feature that offers a privacy feature, but on the PoS transactional level it would be all transparent
04:07:49 <ajs_[m]> s/feature//
07:59:37 <MrSenshi[m]> <Rucknium[m]> "msvb-nop:  I guess you could try..." <- Hi there, been busy and missed what's been happening.
07:59:39 <MrSenshi[m]> Can someone bring me up to speed?
08:08:17 <carrington[m]> <MrSenshi[m]> "Can someone bring me up to speed..." <- msvb is a Monero hardware enthusiast so it might be worth you getting in touch. That's it really. How goes your hardware wallet project?
08:12:23 <MrSenshi[m]> Snowed in, progress being made slowly but surely
08:12:42 <MrSenshi[m]> It will accelerate in the near future.
11:05:36 <msvb-web> Good work crypto_grampy on the Btcpay feature request.
11:13:38 <surgeon_[m]> <entry1[m]> "Watch the bullrun was just the..." <- 😁 well PoS coins maybe. But luckily we can check the blockchain to see where its coming from😜
13:19:57 <sethsimmons> <crypto_grampy[m]> "Seth For Privacy: just fyi, i..." <- Thanks!
18:10:03 <BusyBoredom[m]> I just released a rust crate to simplify the process of accepting monero using subaddresses: https://github.com/busyboredom/acceptxmr
18:10:03 <BusyBoredom[m]> There are still some features I'd like to add to it (like ZMQ support), but it's usable as is.

21:30:05 <Rucknium[m]> I created a bounty for BCH<>XMR atomic swaps:
21:30:05 <Rucknium[m]> https://bounties.monero.social/posts/37/bch-xmr-atomic-swaps
21:30:24 <Rucknium[m]> Current bounty: 1.01 XMR
21:30:39 <Rucknium[m]> kayabaNerve ^
22:11:50 <sech1> Is it even possible? I heard atomic swaps with BCH weren't possible because they didn't fix some bug (transaction malleability or smth like that)
22:15:36 <mcfranko[m]> It used to be an issue, but bch has schnorr now which I think removes that issue
22:18:19 <Rucknium[m]> BCH has had Schnorr signatures for 2.5 years.
22:18:54 <Rucknium[m]> See the linked post where Kayaba states that it appears to be possible:
