exchanges think that they need a 3rd party to cover their ass from regulators and those 3rd parties do not support monero while they do support zcash

<nioc> "we should start a blockchain..." <- I am starting to dip my toes into chain analysis for BCH. Very early stages.

It's better to not waste time/energy on KYC exchanges that require government ID and a bank account to use them. Focus on building liquidity, adoption and onboarding for KYC-free exchanges (e.g. LocalMonero, crypto ATMs, Monero vouchers, soon Haveno), especially cash-based payment methods that don't require a bank account.

unlike others we "track" monero

other companies give you mostly meaningless numbers and grades for other coin's transaction

we give you something similar for montero

Is there a community meeting tomorrow?

<Joao Dolce> Totally agree

<Joao Dolce> Idk

<sgp_> "Is there a community meeting..." <- No. "I can put together another of these in 2 weeks if people like, same time. I'm open to ideas of how to get more voices in community meetings or how to run them better" from 1/2's meeting

Sweet, Monero Meet at noon CT then :)

what was the fee someone paid due to a likely nefarious node?

oh 3.93 XMR

Cake now owns monero.com... that's amazing

Finally in safe hands

Also a monero only wallet is cool too 😁

<crypto_grampy[m]> "twitter.com/cakewallet..." <- Any1 have trouble downloading the apk?

github seems to be very slow

I downloaded from GH earlier with no issues. Was quite fast, running the APK now.

Its downloading 50mb or so then stops

Says needs authentication

Very odd

This is a little off subject, but there was some stuff that went down with faker.js / NPM / Github yesterday: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29806328

would be really cool to have a decentralized or self-hosted github-like instance for monero-ecosystem projects

the person who ran faker was tired of running an open source repo used by a bunch of large corps without getting any money, so he overwrote the git history and pushed a blank document as a patch or something to github/npm. They apparently banned him and just rolled back the release

* the release., * There's a lot more to the story, i imagine.

'They' as in microsoft/npm/github

looks like they restored his acct, but 🙃

<crypto_grampy[m]> "twitter.com/marak/status..." <- Reading his tweets from the last four days feels like opening pretty big can of worms

yeah there's.... a lot to unravel there

might be some mental health stuff going on as well, but it's still a friendly reminder that github is still a service provided by a benevolent company at the end of the day, and they can do whatever they deem fit

jest went down this rabbit hole a bit: reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r4…idence_that_reddit_user_maxwellhill

daaaamn

haha

<crypto_grampy[m]> "might be some mental health..." <- According to his GH, he lives in NYC. I guess the COVID restrictions there are more strict in comparison to other places; he has probably been sitting in the same chair in a 1 bedroom apartment for almost 2 years now… I suppose that could make someone a little unstable

great imagination jimmy

hm.... reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r4…ce=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3

<spirobel[m]> "hm.... reddit.com/r..." <- Probably worth taking taking this convo to the next level in: #monero-markets:monero.social

 

:)

github.com/moneroguides/1x01-import…erifying-hashes/blob/main/Script.md - script one has been updated as is due for production. Please take a look over it if you're interested

in case anyone wants to join in on the twitter fun

Whats up people

<crypto_grampy[m]> "twitter.com/LukeDashjr..." <- Jumped in.

SETH HAS ENTERED THE RING

Seems he doesn't understand that CJs are interactive and ring sigs are not, thus granting plausible deniability in Monero that Bitcoin can never have.

sethsimmons: But how is the community working to increase adoption as I see all time low tx counts

In Monero

and the argument is about CJ's vs non-CJ's and fungibility. I don't care if CJ's work or don't work. It's about saying, I know you paid money to mix your coins in the recent past vs someone who DIDN'T mix, or who has virgin coin.

I find that BTC people don't seem to get why being able to scrutinize between different tx's is the problem

'I can still send these coins to someone'

'CJ still can't be traced'

all time low tx counts if you ignore when it was lower

> would be really cool to have a decentralized or self-hosted github-like instance for monero-ecosystem projects

I might do it, getting sick of Microsoft Github and their captcha hell for tor users. They flagged my account twice and now I can't even send a support ticket, they don't accept emails.
