16:10:50 <lousiF> Was anyone at Monerotopia? I found a huge torrent with all the video and audio of the speakers if anyone's interested
16:11:26 <orly_owl> link away!
16:11:34 <lousiF> I'm kinda low on drive space but I got it anyways and seeding as much as poss
16:11:44 <lousiF> https://monerodl.com
16:12:24 <lousiF> the files in "monerotopia_/" are the torrent
16:12:26 <lousiF> 55GB
16:15:51 <orly_owl> will check it out later
16:16:01 <lousiF> I know, I asked if there was a compressed version or diff video format. but it's the original.
16:16:32 <orly_owl> could be compressed, just takes time
16:16:43 <lousiF> orly_owl, cool. share the .torrent around, needs more peers
16:17:32 <orly_owl> definitely
16:34:03 <lousiF> @midipoet, Here is some educational material to share.. https://masteringmonero.com/  
16:36:57 <lousiF> thanks @SerHack and @anhdres[m] 
17:05:19 <lousiF> @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
17:40:03 <nakhy[m]> <merope> "I'll drop one idea for a..." <- Great idea
17:40:14 <nakhy[m]> How to achieve this?
17:45:12 <kumuruke[m]> Get some stickers and go to Dubai?
17:52:25 <merope> Unironically this ^
17:52:50 <merope> 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 
17:54:39 <merope> If all those useless nft and token startups can do it, then we definitely should take advantage of that environment as well
17:56:22 <nakhy[m]> Tell me I have some contacts in Dubai. What needs to be done?
17:57:02 <nakhy[m]> How about launching a stable private monero backed USD?
17:57:31 <nakhy[m]> In Dubai
17:59:01 <nakhy[m]> endor00: how can we create a stable currency forking monero to make it private as well
18:00:12 <kumuruke[m]> The best thing in my opinion would be to get merchants accept it on the street, or on some busy places
18:00:36 <kumuruke[m]> So the people passing would see it and maybe become curious
18:01:08 <nakhy[m]> No body cares on streets
18:04:33 <nakhy[m]> plowsof:  do you know it. How we can help people outside Dubai transfer assets and invest in Dubai via XMR
18:04:41 <nakhy[m]> Helping save taxes
18:05:47 <zartan[m]> 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.
18:05:47 <zartan[m]> So local workgroups could start implementing it in case they see fit.  
18:05:49 <plowsof[m]> <lousiF> "@plowsof[m],  thanks for..." <- @hinto has done an amazing job with monero-bash
18:08:43 <plowsof[m]> nakhy: i don't have any advice about that, so my opinion would be irrelevant. Could this topic be relevant to this ccs idea? https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/282 
18:10:33 <kumuruke[m]> So who exactly would be the target group in Dubai?
18:25:16 <lousiF> Humans
18:28:04 <lousiF> Isn't the tallest skyscraper on planet earth in Dubai?
18:31:29 <lousiF> yeah I still think it is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Khalifa
18:31:53 <kumuruke[m]> nice
18:43:56 <merope> 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
18:45:44 <merope> 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
18:46:08 <merope> Some kind of "Monero freelance consultants"
18:47:04 <merope> 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
18:47:48 <lousiF> Make sure they know to use the Monero for Good.
18:47:50 <merope> * freelance consultants" helping with integrations and ad-hoc solutions
18:48:46 <lousiF> It's easier for people to scam over the internet, there is no face to face, voice etc. I'm just tired of scammers..
18:49:04 <lousiF> Monero for Good
18:51:01 <lousiF> merope, well look what they did with monero dotcom
18:51:55 <lousiF> not sure who even runs that anymore..
18:52:20 <lousiF> it's a community not a corporation,.
18:53:04 <lousiF> finances,
18:53:36 <lousiF> bbl I have to deal with finances. lol
19:00:04 <lousiF> if we all pooled our monero together we could pay everyone else's ISP bill
19:01:19 <lousiF> I replied to the ISP bill email, I said, "Your company has enough money, "    Haven't gotten a reply yet.
19:02:20 <lousiF> aftkb  (away from this keyboard) new acronym.
19:07:09 <nakhy[m]> How about opening an exchange dedicated to Monero and helping rich people overseas covertly invest in projects in Dubai
19:08:45 <nakhy[m]> 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.
19:09:38 <nakhy[m]> komikono: any suggestions from an IRS agent
19:09:49 <lousiF> @nakhy[m],  help them understand how the internet and non-fungible cryptocurrency works
19:10:39 <lousiF> also, Telegram, the internet messaging thing is based in Dubai. iicrc
19:10:43 <nakhy[m]> nakhy[m]: Oomp the predictive keyboard completely ruined the grammar
19:13:14 <lousiF> Get a monero node running on top of the Burj Khalifa, maybe.
