10:55:19 <bridgerton[m]> <Veemo> this should go in memes
10:56:06 <bridgerton[m]> <Veemo> "provides the nation with a safe, flexible and stable monetary and financial system"
14:28:43 <Halver[m]> https://meduza.io/en is an english/russian media based in Latvia.
14:28:49 <Halver[m]> Pinned tweet : Well, folks, our website is now blocked in Russia. We’re ready for that, but we couldn’t prepare for a financial collapse that’s decimated our Russian crowdfunding. So, we’re turning to you, our global audience. Recurring pledges help the most.
14:28:51 <Halver[m]> (Fortunately), they accept Monero !
15:25:05 <bridgerton[m]> <Veemo> who are they
15:54:12 <WinslowEric[m]> Same question
16:31:05 <mj-xmr[m]> I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what. I posted a poll (or I thought I did) on Reddit, but the poll itself doesn't show up for me, only the post's text. Does it show up for you?
16:31:05 <mj-xmr[m]> https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/t9iy3b/poll_what_ide_would_you_like_to_have_documented/
16:57:18 <TheCharlatan> so the Bee movie script is in https://xmrchain.net/search?value=50dea753a2667e7405c3439a72a09eef945b2e1b1b64b09020c00174c1071478
18:43:45 <jwinterm[m]> TheCharlatan: I was just telling someone at ethdenver that you could do nfts on monero, but if anyone ever did it then devs would immediately hardfork to block nfts/colored coins using tx extra
20:27:33 <unsanctioned> lol.
20:48:47 <js> How could you even do NFTs on Monero when it's fungible?
20:48:58 <js> like, Monero can't even do the N of NFT
20:50:05 <jwinterm[m]> js: Tx extra is an unencrypted field with basically no size limit
20:50:10 <jwinterm[m]> You can dump whatever you want in there now
20:51:26 <atomfried[m]> wait txextra has no size limit???
20:52:03 <js> jwinterm[m]: And that is publicly viewable?
21:02:53 <jwinterm[m]> <js> "And that is publicly viewable?" <- Yes
21:03:15 <jwinterm[m]> Look at tx extra that charlatan linked above
21:03:42 <jwinterm[m]> Copy tx extra from block explorer and paste into hex to assist website
21:05:16 <js> Seems dangerous. What if someone puts child porn into the blockchain this way? Then we are in big trouble.
21:05:48 <js> Then suddenly the Monero blockchain is illegal to have
21:06:02 <atomfried[m]> js: has already been done for btc and is it in trouble?
21:06:41 <js> atomfried[m]: Has it? Never heard of it. Do you have a link to some info (NOT the content)?
21:06:52 <midipoet> why has tx extra never been removed? Does it serve a purpose?
21:08:17 <atomfried[m]> js: i am not going to google "bitcoin childporn"
21:08:17 <atomfried[m]> not gonna happen
21:08:44 <atomfried[m]> i think i have heard of this but i am not 100% sure how valid it is 
21:08:54 <js> Yeah, that's why I was asking if someone got a link to an article explaining what happened 😀
21:09:09 <js> I want neither the content nor that search query 😛
21:09:09 <atomfried[m]> but since it is possible, i am pretty sure it already happened...
21:10:01 <js> Did it? I think the space per TX is way too little
21:10:11 <js> I only know some bible text was added, but that was via a miner, not via a TX
21:10:53 <atomfried[m]> js: you can link multiple transaction together to increase the size of available space
21:11:24 <jwinterm[m]> midipoet: It used to house txid?
21:11:33 <js> atomfried[m]: You have no influence over the order of them in the blockchain though. You have no guarantees they all make it into the same block. Etc.
21:11:45 <jwinterm[m]> I think you can fill tx extra too size of whole block
21:12:39 <atomfried[m]> js: you can just create a lot transactions and add a tag to OP_RETURN like [1/50] to know in which order to assemble the datachunks
21:13:08 <jwinterm[m]> The bee movie one above occupies 114 kb in a 215 kb block or something
21:14:08 <atomfried[m]> doesnt the txextra break tx uniformity?
21:16:41 <Kivojo[m]> <bridgerton[m]> "<Veemo> "provides the nation..." <- Like how they kept USD "safe" and "stable" in 100 years.
21:18:01 <midipoet> atomfried[m]: surely it does, no?
21:18:41 <jwinterm[m]> atomfried[m]: Yes, which is why devs threaten to remove it
21:18:42 <jwinterm[m]> But so far have not
21:19:14 <atomfried[m]> is anyone even using txextra for something which is not the bee movie?
21:19:23 <atomfried[m]> like for something serious
21:20:08 <jwinterm[m]> Maybe still some services using payment id? 
21:20:34 <atomfried[m]> ahhhh this is what it is used for
21:20:39 <atomfried[m]> didnt know that
21:42:45 <midipoet> there are a few exchanges (most prominently Kraken) that use payment ID (afaiu). I don't think we have ever understood why they couldn't use an integrated form. Probably for traceability matters (sadly).
