I found a huge torrent with all the video and audio of the speakers if anyone's interested 16:11:26 link away! 16:11:34 I'm kinda low on drive space but I got it anyways and seeding as much as poss 16:11:44 https://monerodl.com 16:12:24 the files in "monerotopia_/" are the torrent 16:12:26 55GB 16:15:51 will check it out later 16:16:01 I know, I asked if there was a compressed version or diff video format. but it's the original. 16:16:32 could be compressed, just takes time 16:16:43 orly_owl, cool. share the .torrent around, needs more peers 16:17:32 definitely 16:34:03 @midipoet, Here is some educational material to share.. https://masteringmonero.com/ 16:36:57 thanks @SerHack and @anhdres[m] 17:05:19 @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 "I'll drop one idea for a..." <- Great idea 17:40:14 How to achieve this? 17:45:12 Get some stickers and go to Dubai? 17:52:25 Unironically this ^ 17:52:50 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 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 Tell me I have some contacts in Dubai. What needs to be done? 17:57:02 How about launching a stable private monero backed USD? 17:57:31 In Dubai 17:59:01 endor00: how can we create a stable currency forking monero to make it private as well 18:00:12 The best thing in my opinion would be to get merchants accept it on the street, or on some busy places 18:00:36 So the people passing would see it and maybe become curious 18:01:08 No body cares on streets 18:04:33 plowsof: do you know it. How we can help people outside Dubai transfer assets and invest in Dubai via XMR 18:04:41 Helping save taxes 18:05:47 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 So local workgroups could start implementing it in case they see fit. 18:05:49 "@plowsof[m], thanks for..." <- @hinto has done an amazing job with monero-bash 18:08:43 nakhy: i don't have any advice about that, so my opinion would be irrelevant.

Many major exchanges and businesses have permanently relocated to Dubai due to taxation. 19:09:38 komikono: any suggestions from an IRS agent 19:09:49 @nakhy[m], help them understand how the internet and non-fungible cryptocurrency works 19:10:39 also, Telegram, the internet messaging thing is based in Dubai. iicrc 19:10:43 nakhy[m]: Oomp the predictive keyboard completely ruined the grammar 19:13:14 Get a monero node running on top of the Burj Khalifa, maybe.
