If anyone wants to give 'em feedback on reddit, or knows someone who might be down to do that, think it would be appreciated. teddit.adminforge.de/r/Monero/comme…animated_videos_ccs_update_feedback

Was anyone at Monerotopia? I found a huge torrent with all the video and audio of the speakers if anyone's interested

link away!

I'm kinda low on drive space but I got it anyways and seeding as much as poss

the files in "monerotopia_/" are the torrent

55GB

will check it out later

I know, I asked if there was a compressed version or diff video format. but it's the original.

could be compressed, just takes time

orly_owl, cool. share the .torrent around, needs more peers

definitely

@midipoet, Here is some educational material to share.. masteringmonero.com

thanks @SerHack and @anhdres[m]

@plowsof[m], thanks for reminding me of monero-bash. I had setup all of those in Tilix with each one working in a different tile, and keeping up with all the releases is a pita

<merope> "I'll drop one idea for a..." <- Great idea

How to achieve this?

Get some stickers and go to Dubai?

Unironically this ^

Would be nice if we had some community members in Dubai doing focused outreach to the big crypto financial institutions that are growing in Dubai

If all those useless nft and token startups can do it, then we definitely should take advantage of that environment as well

Tell me I have some contacts in Dubai. What needs to be done?

How about launching a stable private monero backed USD?

In Dubai

endor00: how can we create a stable currency forking monero to make it private as well

The best thing in my opinion would be to get merchants accept it on the street, or on some busy places

So the people passing would see it and maybe become curious

No body cares on streets

plowsof: do you know it. How we can help people outside Dubai transfer assets and invest in Dubai via XMR

Helping save taxes

I understand Afghanistan and Dubai are completely different and there are many variables but I'm wondering if maybe a kind of framework could be developed about how to start introducing Monero in a region.

So local workgroups could start implementing it in case they see fit.

<lousiF> "@plowsof[m], thanks for..." <- @hinto has done an amazing job with monero-bash

nakhy: i don't have any advice about that, so my opinion would be irrelevant. Could this topic be relevant to this ccs idea? repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/282

So who exactly would be the target group in Dubai?

Humans

Isn't the tallest skyscraper on planet earth in Dubai?

yeah I still think it is. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa

nice

I think a good starting point would be assessing the environment: for example, look at what Kraken and Binance are doing in Dubai, what people/institutions are they interacting with, what kind of crypto-related projects are taking foot there and what are their goals

From there, we could look at places that are interested in the prospect of digital cash and accepting crypto for their business, do direct pitches about Monero, and maybe even actively promote adoption by supporting developers

Some kind of "Monero freelance consultants"

This all sounds nice on paper of course, but I think an important requirement is having eyes and ears on the ground, people who know the environment and the people who live and work there

Make sure they know to use the Monero for Good.

* freelance consultants" helping with integrations and ad-hoc solutions

It's easier for people to scam over the internet, there is no face to face, voice etc. I'm just tired of scammers..

Monero for Good

merope, well look what they did with monero dotcom

not sure who even runs that anymore..

it's a community not a corporation,.

finances,

bbl I have to deal with finances. lol

if we all pooled our monero together we could pay everyone else's ISP bill

I replied to the ISP bill email, I said, "Your company has enough money, " Haven't gotten a reply yet.

aftkb (away from this keyboard) new acronym.

How about opening an exchange dedicated to Monero and helping rich people overseas covertly invest in projects in Dubai

I heard huge talented pool and exchange migrated to Dubai from India after an heavy tax on crypto transactions was applied to India. Many major exchanges and businesses have permanently relocated to Dubai due to taxation.

komikono: any suggestions from an IRS agent

@nakhy[m], help them understand how the internet and non-fungible cryptocurrency works

also, Telegram, the internet messaging thing is based in Dubai. iicrc

nakhy[m]: Oomp the predictive keyboard completely ruined the grammar

Get a monero node running on top of the Burj Khalifa, maybe.
