16:00:05 <plowsof> Meeting time https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/747
16:00:20 <plowsof> 2. Greetings
16:00:30 <plowsof> hello everyone 
16:01:46 <hinto[m]> hi
16:01:48 <plowsof> while we wait for people to come in, just wanted to share that a few ccs proposals have completed some of their milestones (namely the atomic swap gui proposal who we where asking for an update on) https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/commits/master
16:01:49 <pwhx[m]> Hi!
16:02:05 <ofrnxmr[m]> Greetings
16:02:23 <monerobull[m]> Hello
16:02:28 <copenhagen_bram[> hola
16:02:31 <pwhx[m]> glad to be here
16:03:05 <ajs_[m]> Hi
16:03:10 <pandapaperwallet> Hi
16:04:40 <DiegoSalazar[m]> Hi
16:04:44 <pwhx[m]> Hi everyone
16:05:01 <plowsof> lets talk about the proposals we've mostly made a decision on , if anyone has any objections 
16:05:10 <plowsof> a. [[monero-bash v2.0.0]](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/333) (hidden - author asks to postpone) 
16:05:24 <plowsof> 'hide' this from the ideas page yes/no 
16:05:47 <plowsof> author wants that, correct hinto ?
16:06:41 <hinto[m]> yes, hidden
16:06:41 <monerobull[m]> plowsof: Yes
16:06:51 <ofrnxmr[m]> Yes
16:07:02 <plowsof> b. [The-Monero-Moon-CCS-Proposal-August2022-John-Foss](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/336) (hidden - awaiting response from author)  
16:07:21 <ofrnxmr[m]> Ive said it 100x, close
16:07:26 <plowsof> i've contacted johnfoss 25th October on reddit, the last reply from him was Oct 28 where he said he would replly on the 29th if he had time. 
16:08:36 <ofrnxmr[m]> Moon should also ve removed from agenda "news" section - hasnt had a release in a long time
16:08:39 <plowsof> does anyone want to wait for a response? 
16:08:50 <Stnby[m]> plowsof: We dont like it
16:09:04 <Stnby[m]> * We dont like it with Siren
16:09:10 <plowsof> i believe localmonero have an active newsletter than can replace them 
16:09:27 <monerobull[m]> Yes
16:09:40 <ofrnxmr[m]> Not me. Waited long enough. If foss doesnt went to engage now there is nothing stooping him from opening a ccs later when he cares
16:09:42 <monerobull[m]> Monero standard is great
16:10:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> Close, please and thanks
16:10:24 <plowsof> ive pinged luigi1111 , so he should drop in soon/later 
16:10:48 <plowsof> is there anyone here who wants monero moon to be funded right now?
16:11:35 <ofrnxmr[m]> No need to ask 
16:11:37 <plowsof> going once.... twice..... 
16:11:46 <ofrnxmr[m]> Gone
16:11:58 <ofrnxmr[m]> Next business, please 
16:12:32 <plowsof> c. [Forgotsudo monero marketplace](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/340) (awaiting re submission of Web Of Trust milestone)    
16:12:32 <merope> Would be nice to have at least a response from him before moving the proposal to funding
16:13:10 <plowsof> it has been a while i must say (every comment he receives a notification for) 
16:13:35 <monerobull[m]> I like what onionr is doing, what's the current status on the web of trust?
16:13:48 <ofrnxmr[m]> endor00: were voting to close or wait. Do you want to see moon funded without a response? 
16:13:49 <DiegoSalazar[m]> One of the downsides of a self hosted gitlab is not logging in often to see the notifications though. 
16:13:49 <luigi1111> Driving
16:14:00 <ofrnxmr[m]> We've been waiting officially for 2 week (1week past the deadline)
16:14:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> Onionr I vote hide for now
16:14:34 <plowsof> 'forgot sudo' has support for resubmitting with just 1 milestone, they have just not responded yet
16:14:58 <merope> ofrnxmr[m]: Oh sorry, misread. No, what I meant is that if the proposal is to move forward, we'd need *at least* a response from him on any open questions. (Haven't followed too closely, so I'm not 100% up to date on its status)
16:15:12 <selsta> I'd be careful with funding any kind of onion marketplaces but that's just my personal opinion
16:15:15 <ofrnxmr[m]> Diego Salazar:  hes been pinged personally 
16:15:24 <plowsof> i contacted him on the 25th and he said he would look at it 'tomorrow' on the 28th 
16:15:25 <ofrnxmr[m]> Its a weekly newsletter - but its been weeks since hes checked in on his proposal and months since releasing a newsletter. ---------- close
16:15:31 <plowsof> moon/johnfoss^
16:15:46 <ofrnxmr[m]> plowsof:  I Vote hide pending resubmission 
16:16:31 <plowsof> for onionr , yes ,  the reason for resubmitting the Web of trust milestone is that it would be useful (in isolation) for other projects (apparently) 
16:16:32 <ofrnxmr[m]> C l o s e plowsof:  luigi1111:  wasting time re: moon
16:17:07 <merope> "Resubmitting" a milestone? What's that?
16:17:27 <monerobull[m]> plowsof: For example, I could put reviews for my shop on there, right?
16:18:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> They are going to edit the ccs or  resubmit a ccs for the specific milwstone (web of trust) endor00: 
16:18:48 <plowsof> i do not know exactly what this WoT provides (yet) myself
16:19:15 <merope> Oh ok, I see - so we're voting to keep the proposal hidden until they do that. I approve
16:19:29 <plowsof> resubmitting is just changing the proposal and put it up for discussion again (be it close / resubmit or edit)
16:19:31 <ofrnxmr[m]> So instead of funding the marketplace, it would only be for web of trust part of it, which should - in theory - be useful to other projects
16:19:49 <selsta> ofrnxmr[m]: sounds more reasonable
16:19:57 <monerobull[m]> That's the plan
16:20:44 <merope> Yeah, not too crazy about funding the direct development of dnms myself either
16:20:45 <plowsof> i agree , that would be the plan for this one then (only with one milestone - wot)
16:20:45 <merope> One way or another, that's just asking for trouble
16:21:21 <ofrnxmr[m]> I think consensus on this one is hide and allow them to resubmit/edit and we come back to it later
16:21:48 <plowsof> d. [Develop selfhostable monero payment processor](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/345) (close)    
16:22:31 <ofrnxmr[m]> Stnby:  any comment?
16:22:57 <Stnby[m]> we tried to negotiate if he would be interested in working together with us
16:23:07 <Stnby[m]> On our project and find a common goal
16:23:16 <luigi1111> Vote to close it right now
16:23:25 <Stnby[m]> But his goals seemed a bit out of scope of ours
16:23:46 <Stnby[m]> I'd say close
16:23:46 <ofrnxmr[m]> Did you receive any info that would give us reason to merge?
16:23:52 <ofrnxmr[m]> Otherwise were at closen
16:24:33 <plowsof> i vote to close , they also want the funds upfront 
16:25:10 <Siren[m]> Stnby[m]: He wants to primarily support Windows. He also wants a more monolithic solution, download wallet-rpc etc from the website automatically or build everything into a binary (he didn't elaborate how). Also wouldn't like to use our payment processor of choice, MoneroPay.
16:25:10 <merope> +1 close
16:25:29 <ofrnxmr[m]> Close
16:25:31 <Siren[m]> * He wants to primarily support Windows. He also wants a more monolithic solution, download wallet-rpc etc from the website automatically or build everything into a binary (he didn't elaborate how). Also didn't like to use our payment processor of choice, MoneroPay.
16:25:44 <plowsof> feels very 'bespoke' also 
16:25:48 <monerobull[m]> Close
16:25:54 <monerobull[m]> Funds upfront are you insane
16:26:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> Ok, next
16:26:16 <plowsof> e. [Gupax: GUI for P2Pool+XMRig](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/350) (edited after feedback - awaiting decision)    
16:26:55 <monerobull[m]> Tldr for changes?
16:27:07 <ofrnxmr[m]> hinto @hinto.janaiyo:matrix.org:  my only request is 75xmr for deliver of the 1.0 and 25 xmr for the 12 months of maintainence / updates (including major)
16:27:26 <plowsof> ofrnxmr has issues with "maintenance" - hinto edited in that it would be 'free as long as he was in the community' and clarified that maintenance would only be small changes (filenames.. hashes etc) 
16:28:13 <monerobull[m]> Yeah idk sounds like the maintenance is so minimal, with a tutorial even I'd be able to keep it running 
16:28:39 <hinto[m]> maintenance really wouldn't be too much, so i don't think it's necessary to make a big deal out of it  
16:28:53 <ofrnxmr[m]> I do
16:28:55 <plowsof> since the last meeting, hinto has released a version of his proof of concept for windows/mac/linux
16:28:58 <ofrnxmr[m]> Because you dont.
16:29:16 <ofrnxmr[m]> If you thought it was np, why not accept.
16:29:37 <merope> I mean, unless p2pool's interface/behaviour changes dramatically, I wouldn't expect any significant changes in the underlying code
16:29:37 <ofrnxmr[m]> Unless you feel like you'll lose 25 xmr by not maintaining it?
16:30:26 <plowsof> hinto does not want to accept funds for maintaining it 
16:30:26 <hinto[m]> because there's no point in drawing out 25 xmr over 12 months
16:30:26 <ofrnxmr[m]> I agree, but p2pool adds features and is growing / changing all the time
16:30:42 <hinto[m]> merope: this is exactly correct
16:31:20 <DiegoSalazar[m]> I mean, we can't edit the proposal for him. His proposal is 100 for the thing upon completion. 
16:31:28 <DiegoSalazar[m]> Yay or nay on terms as stated?
16:31:55 <hinto[m]> true, mostly adding new command flags, but those are easy to implement
16:31:55 <monerobull[m]> If it's so much of a problem for ofrnxmr: and so little work for hinto @hinto.janaiyo:matrix.org:  ask for 5 xmr extra paid out after a year ..
16:31:55 <plowsof> i say yes 
16:32:20 <ofrnxmr[m]> Nay on terms as stated from me. No maintenance is included
16:32:51 <merope> ofrnxmr[m]: "Maintenance after initial release should be very minimal and would of course be free." Sounds included to me? 🤔
16:33:54 <ofrnxmr[m]> Free =/= ccs. In the comments he says "as long as hes in the community", which could be day, weeks, years 
16:34:11 <merope> I like the proposal (which is pretty much 100XMR for a finished gui, right?), +1 in favor
16:34:14 <ofrnxmr[m]> All I ask is a 12 month commitment to a 15k project 
16:34:31 <plowsof> some back story here , i have passed on suggestions from us reg monero-bash to hinto - which he added/changed to that proposal (after a long time of discussions) - and we didnt like it / its not going to funding. will the same happen here? this is discouraging 
16:35:11 <ofrnxmr[m]> I wont block it, but in 100% against merging without guaranteed maintenance 
16:35:23 <plowsof> hinto is a "valuable" alias (if we are worried he will vanish) - he has 1 prev completed ccs and merged code in monero core 
16:35:45 <Siren[m]> <merope> "I mean, unless p2pool's interfac..." <- In case of dramatic changes, maybe he can create follow-up proposals and we can fund it this way?
16:35:52 <ofrnxmr[m]> No
16:35:54 <merope> Tbh I'm not sure what work you would expect him to do in those 12 months
16:36:10 <merope> Siren[m]: That would be a no, because he explicitly mentions free follow-up maintenance
16:36:16 <monerobull[m]> Yeah software shouldn't just break within a year
16:36:18 <ofrnxmr[m]> Siren:  I dont think there should be multiple ccs for this gui in a short span ie under 12 months
16:36:20 <Siren[m]> merope: Ah, okay
16:36:40 <ofrnxmr[m]> merope: This is my problemn
16:36:55 <ofrnxmr[m]> Monerobash did tjis
16:36:55 <merope> But beside the occasional bug fixing, I would not expect any big changes in the way p2pool gets launched
16:36:56 <ofrnxmr[m]> I dont want to see this from gupax
16:37:49 <hinto[m]> i'll explicitly say there won't be a gupax 2.0
16:37:58 <ofrnxmr[m]> Ever?
16:38:47 <hinto[m]> if p2pool/xmrig don't have any breaking changes, there won't be a need
16:38:48 <hinto[m]> any internal gupax changes would be on my own time
16:39:01 <ofrnxmr[m]> And what if you create s gupax 2.0
16:39:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> Then what? New ccs?
16:39:26 <hinto[m]> if i ran away and refused to maintain this, i don't think i would be very welcomed back
16:39:43 <ofrnxmr[m]> Making a new alias is easy. Cmon now
16:39:47 <hinto[m]> there's a implicit social contract being made here worth a lot more than 25xmr
16:40:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> 25 xmr is too much to ask? His about 80/20
16:40:14 <ofrnxmr[m]> How about
16:40:25 <Stnby[m]> ofrnxmr[m]: Gaining some trust is another thing
16:40:27 <hinto[m]> i care about p2pool use a lot, i'm making this because i want p2pool to succeed
16:40:40 <plowsof> again, hinto has 1 completed ccs and merges in monero-core 
16:40:55 <ofrnxmr[m]> Completed ccs withva follow up ccs for double the initial 
16:41:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> In short order
16:41:42 <plowsof> i think we can vote now? 
16:41:58 <plowsof> i vote move to funding as is 
16:42:03 <ofrnxmr[m]> I'm the only no vote
16:42:56 <ofrnxmr[m]> (Yes with maintenance as a portion of ccs)
16:43:24 <monerobull[m]> I'm going to say yes since this is important software and Hinto is not a total unknown 
16:43:45 <Siren[m]> I like the idea and the WIP GUI, so a yes from me too
16:43:58 <ofrnxmr[m]> 🥳
16:44:06 <Siren[m]> (if my votes count :) )
16:44:47 <ofrnxmr[m]> hinto @hinto.janaiyo:matrix.org: 😈 I tried 
16:44:53 <pandapaperwallet> it is a yes from me too but I'm new here
16:45:01 <plowsof>   g. [Monero Paper Wallets](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/352)  
16:45:17 <monerobull[m]> Btw can I say it's kinda cute how we make decisions on the spending of a 3 billion dollars project with like 5 people
16:45:20 <ofrnxmr[m]> Instaclose
16:45:27 <monerobull[m]> s/dollars/dollar/
16:45:36 <plowsof> https://xmr.gift/generator/ https://xmr.gift 
16:45:55 <plowsof> close 
16:45:57 <monerobull[m]> I'm against the wallet designs 
16:46:18 <monerobull[m]> I can make some with ai for free 
16:46:20 <merope> Why close? I like it
16:46:23 <plowsof> we have them already, #xmr.gift:matrix.org and a team dedicated 
16:46:30 <Siren[m]> Panda: could you provide us with one of the designs? Or some of your previous unrelated work?
16:46:33 <merope> plowsof: These are for gift wallets. Also, they require going through apps for qr codes and stuff
16:46:40 <monerobull[m]> merope: No previous work
16:46:43 <merope> I just want to write down my seed on a cute piece of paper
16:46:44 <Stnby[m]> I am not against paper wallets but would like to see at least 1 design to get what you mean/ your art style
16:46:54 <ofrnxmr[m]> Panda:  this is your proposal? 
16:46:55 <monerobull[m]> merope: We have that already 
16:46:58 <plowsof> doesnt msvb labs have gift wallets on indistructable paper?
16:47:12 <plowsof> whats the point 
16:47:15 <monerobull[m]> The toughy wally or something like that 
16:47:16 <merope> monerobull[m]: I've only seen one design "in the wild"
16:47:16 <pandapaperwallet> The idea behind it is different in my opinion. I think that whether you want to keep your wallet completely offline by keep it on a paper wallet you should be able to. I do agree on the qrcodes utility but this means using a phone to scan it/create the qrcode and that is exactly what I wanted to avoid.
16:47:40 <plowsof> we have them though , i don't get it 
16:47:42 <Siren[m]> plowsof: The proposal is so we pay for the designs it seems
16:48:08 <Siren[m]> But what are they like? Some epic artwork? Or tux paint?
16:48:09 <plowsof> i would rather give the contract to a contirbutor who has produced designs at #xmr.gift:matrix.org 
16:48:18 <plowsof> known in the community etc 
16:48:23 <pandapaperwallet> I do understand that I’m new and you don’t know me, so I propose to split my proposal in a pre-proposal of 3 designs (both A4 and credit card dimensions) in order to show you my thoughts. Than, if you do like my designs, I will submit another proposal for the others. 
16:48:29 <monerobull[m]> merope: We can buy assets from adobe for 20$ and remake it. No point in paying some "designer" without any designs 2 grand
16:48:43 <plowsof> although gift cards - its not a huge leap of faith for the designer to make a cold wallet thing 
16:49:02 <ofrnxmr[m]> I think you should release a free one first
16:49:11 <pandapaperwallet> I can share a mockup (ignore errors, just a wip)
16:49:25 * pandapaperwallet posted a file: (32KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/PheZOJZuDTsjqEhpbPXzBHyJ/design1.pdf >
16:49:41 <monerobull[m]> :/
16:49:45 <plowsof> that would be a start , lets discuss the remaining proposal in the last 10 mins 
16:49:49 <ofrnxmr[m]> I think you need a working version
16:50:01 <ofrnxmr[m]> Lets move on
16:50:07 <plowsof>   h. [Metronero Checkout](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/353)   
16:50:37 <pandapaperwallet> ofrnxmr[m]: what do you mean?
16:50:38 <plowsof> metronero was only added today, so this is an introduction 
16:50:39 <ofrnxmr[m]> This one is very new
16:50:44 <ofrnxmr[m]> I havent had time to read ir
16:50:54 <plowsof> just sharing it for us 
16:51:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> I Vote: postpone til best meeting
16:51:11 <ofrnxmr[m]> Next*
16:51:31 <plowsof> yes, just introducing it 
16:51:31 <ofrnxmr[m]> Siren, can you ELO5
16:51:31 <Stnby[m]> plowsof: We kept it a secret, except from plowsof
16:51:31 <monerobull[m]> Haven't read it either 
16:51:54 <Siren[m]> What do you mean by that? :D
16:52:03 <monerobull[m]> Explain like we're five
16:52:09 <monerobull[m]> Misspelled 
16:52:18 <plowsof> what is metronero and when will i need/use it 
16:52:55 <plowsof> merchants who want to sell products for monero 
16:53:05 <ofrnxmr[m]> This is like hotshop 2.0?
16:53:09 <Siren[m]> Have you guys seen payment gateways provided by PayPal, Revolut and basically most of the e-banking systems? This basically what we would like to make.
16:53:21 <Stnby[m]> Basically you geberate a payment link
16:53:30 <Stnby[m]> s/geberate/generate/
16:53:47 <Siren[m]> Let's say there's a shop using one of these gateways. Upon checkout the shop redirects you to the gateway, and upon payment handling by the gateway you bounce back to the shop.
16:54:05 <monerobull[m]> So like btcpayserver?
16:54:12 <Siren[m]> Yes, similar
16:54:16 <Stnby[m]> monerobull[m]: Exactly
16:54:19 <plowsof> yes (or like Square for fiat checkouts)
16:54:26 <Stnby[m]> We have it under why section
16:54:43 <Stnby[m]> And whats the difference between what we are making and btcpay server
16:54:57 <Siren[m]> For short we did not like how poorly btcpayserver performed without Javascript
16:55:04 <merope> Are you sure you can do it in 5+5 weeks?
16:55:15 <Stnby[m]> And had medioker monero support and also C#
16:55:19 <Siren[m]> We have it performing perfectly fine without JS
16:55:31 <Stnby[m]> merope: Yeah we have a barely working PoC already
16:55:37 <merope> Milestone 1 involves "planning the backend, api" and rewriting a whole bunch of stuff
16:55:41 <Stnby[m]> https://metronero.digilol.net
16:55:44 <monerobull[m]> Siren[m]: So it will work well on Tor browser extreme settings?
16:55:55 <Siren[m]> monerobull[m]: Yes
16:55:55 <Stnby[m]> Stagenet btw
16:55:59 <Siren[m]> Absolutely no JS
16:56:18 <monerobull[m]> That's nice 
16:56:21 <Siren[m]> We use HTTP headers for refreshing by default
16:56:22 <Stnby[m]> Http can do refreshes via Refresh header or a meta tag
16:56:33 <Stnby[m]> Absolutely no need for JS
16:57:12 <hinto[m]> Siren Stnby: would a github mirror ever be considered? ironically gitlab relies on JS
16:57:19 <Siren[m]> The PoC was working last time we checked (about a month ago) but there is a problem with our wallet rpc server on stagenet. I will spin our own stagenet node tonight.
16:58:05 <Siren[m]> hinto[m]: We will mirror the rewrite on both public gitlab and GitHub instances
16:58:08 <Stnby[m]> Github relies on Microsoft but we could mirror it to repo.getmonero.org
16:58:13 <Siren[m]> We are not too proud of the PoC
16:58:24 <Siren[m]> But it is fully open source
16:59:26 <Stnby[m]> AGPLv3 :)
16:59:38 <monerobull[m]> Will you keep it working after potential seraphis fork
17:00:01 <plowsof> i have seen an example payment request on stagenet (where you see the qr code/address to send funds to and it refreshes to show completion of payment) it would be ideal to have this to show us again 
17:00:40 <plowsof> redirects to the 'shop after payment received etc 
17:00:42 <Stnby[m]> We will keep it working as we need it for ourseleves, we would even consider making this without a proposal like moneropay.eu, but plowsof encouraged us to create one
17:01:55 <plowsof> MoneroPay team have my support, thanks 
17:02:01 <Siren[m]> monerobull[m]: It uses Moneropay to do payment processing, which uses official wallet rpc server underneath. Unless the wallet rpc server will break after the fork, everything should be still working.
17:02:42 <Stnby[m]> If it doesnt we will shout on the core untill it starts working, jk
17:03:36 <plowsof> now the hour is up, any parting words? also waiting on jberman/selsta for their ccs renewals 
17:03:52 <Siren[m]> plowsof: In the PoC UI we have a form where you can fill a form and generate this payment page which upon cancellation or completion redirects you to the provided URLs. But ideally you can have your backend make a post request to create these pages automatically.
17:04:32 <selsta> plowsof: will open today lol
17:04:38 <Stnby[m]> Also meteonero will keep merchant system up to date with the satus over callbacks
17:04:40 <plowsof> +1
17:04:47 <Stnby[m]> s/satus/status/
17:05:01 <Siren[m]> <merope> "Are you sure you can do it in 5+..." <- Yes, should be enough.
17:05:04 <Stnby[m]> * Also meteonero will keep merchant system up to date with the payment status over callbacks
17:06:32 <Stnby[m]> Siren[m]: Will be enough, if we do not finish it on time its us to blame and we will work on it until it works!
17:06:45 <Siren[m]> ^ For free
17:07:38 <Stnby[m]> Maintenance will be free as well
17:08:28 <hinto[m]> <plowsof> "now the hour is up, any parting..." <- is luigi here?
17:08:56 <hinto[m]> i'd like to get working and a confirmed merge would take a lot of worries off my mind
17:09:22 <plowsof> almost , Driving home , soon though, ill update by the end of today on whats happening
17:10:03 <plowsof> ok , seems like we've reached the end, thank you all for attending ❤️
17:10:07 <merope> btw plowsof, I noticed a bunch of spam comments in some of the proposals
17:10:16 <ofrnxmr[m]> Yeah
17:10:37 <hinto[m]> plowsof: are you luigi :D ?
17:10:37 <merope> (dunno if you have the power to clean up)
17:10:38 <ajs_[m]> i wanted to give a quick update on MoneroKon 2023
17:10:38 <plowsof> i read the email after each gets posted , i will ask for rights to delete them
17:10:40 <ofrnxmr[m]> hinto @hinto.janaiyo:matrix.org:  im luigi
17:10:54 <plowsof> ah hello ajs_
17:11:01 <Stnby[m]> Thank you as well plowsof have a safe ride don't die while texting!
17:11:07 <Siren[m]> One of the spam comments: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/345#note_18884
17:11:37 <ajs_[m]> We have narrowed down the venue options to two locations  - Neuchâtel, Switzerland and Prague, Czechia
17:11:49 <merope> we are all luigi
17:11:58 <ajs_[m]> https://github.com/MoneroKon/meta/issues/1
17:11:58 <merope> luigi is a hivemind
17:11:59 <ajs_[m]> We are still waiting on further details from University of Neuchâtel and we've received a agreement from La Fabrika.
17:11:59 <pandapaperwallet> <ofrnxmr[m]> "I think you should release a..." <- Ok I will release one upfront and we will discuss about it later. Thank you for your suggestion
17:11:59 <ajs_[m]> La Fabrika is offering 3 days + 1 day setup... 5x10m stage, 6 long tables, 12 chairs, 12 bistro tables, PA system, stage lighting, laser projector and screen (610 x 345cm) + support staff (production manager, light board operator, sound engineer, video engineer, cloakroom attendants, fireman, cleanup crew)... ~53k EUR
17:12:00 <ajs_[m]> Personally, I am leaning towards La Fabrika since we have close contacts with Paralelni Polis. On the other hand, Neuchâtel might be a cheaper option since the venue is at a university and the Nym/DarkFi teams are interested in collaborating with us.
17:12:23 <ajs_[m]> We will be making a final decision on the venue in next week's MoneroKon planning meeting.
17:12:31 <ajs_[m]> https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/749
17:12:34 <Stnby[m]> Will there be anyone in fossdem from monero next year
17:12:42 <plowsof> Exciting, thank you for the update!
17:12:46 <ajs_[m]> I invite everyone to chime in the choices by joining the planning meeting or commenting on the GitHub issue
17:12:57 <ajs_[m]> Once we gather additional quotes from vendors and finalise the budget, we should be submitting a CCS proposal sometime in early December.
17:13:12 <ajs_[m]> that's it.. thanks
17:13:16 <monerobull[m]> I'll set up talk submissions once we have a venue 
17:15:23 <plowsof> ok everyone thanks for attending, if the hiveminds wishes are not implemented , it is my fault 
17:15:32 <Siren[m]> Stnby[m]: Me and Stnby are going
17:16:13 <hinto[m]> i might be the only person here not in europe
17:16:16 <plowsof> https://fosdem.org/2023/
17:16:39 <hinto[m]> ty plowsof
17:16:53 <plowsof> Brussels / Belgium 
17:17:18 <Stnby[m]> Who is going!!!!
17:17:39 <Stnby[m]> We have to exchange some Monero srickers
17:18:36 <monerobull[m]> plowsof: Thank you for moderating 
17:18:52 <monerobull[m]> Stnby[m]: Just order them from me 😎
17:24:34 <Stnby[m]> Do you sell them?
17:25:40 <monerobull[m]> Monerosupplies.com
17:25:41 <monerobull[m]> https://monerosupplies.com/
17:26:06 <Stnby[m]> We got like 200 of these from the guy in Vilnius for free
17:26:17 <ofrnxmr[m]> <pandapaperwallet> "Ok I will release one upfront..." <- plowsof: 
17:26:22 <Stnby[m]> I think he might have bought it from you
17:26:39 <Siren[m]> monerobull[m]: We have the exact same stickers. It's probably from you. Laminated paper right?
17:27:44 <monerobull[m]> Yeah vinyl
17:27:57 <monerobull[m]> Outdoor rated

17:28:27 <monerobull[m]> Jup that's then
17:28:32 <monerobull[m]> * Jup that's them
17:28:41 <Stnby[m]> We already used them all
17:28:49 <plowsof> if we like the idea of monero paper wallets , then we should sponsor the gift-wallet team (more info in my comment on the ccs idea - as 'gift wallet' is also == restoring a wallet from seed - side stepping all of their effort / research and dev. and asking for funding when you dont have a simple PoC design yourself feels insulting ) 
17:28:53 <monerobull[m]> Nice
17:29:15 <Stnby[m]> If you ever go to Vilnius you will see them absolutely everywhere
17:29:43 <Siren[m]> We have wars with nft people
17:29:51 * Siren[m] uploaded an image: (98KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/kernal.eu/XTwZqjRyYLIAShXisMjuBAFL/IMG20221101182714.jpg >
17:30:04 <Siren[m]> They must suffer for what they have done
17:30:05 <monerobull[m]> The Vilnius person is mega based donated multiple boxes
17:30:58 <monerobull[m]> Siren[m]: Surprised that it's still on there 
17:31:24 <merope> <pandapaperwallet> "design1.pdf" <- plowsof they did send a sample
17:31:24 <monerobull[m]> I thought they are decently easy to remove ion one piece
17:32:40 <Stnby[m]> monerobull[m]: Noooo
17:32:46 <Stnby[m]> They are hard af to remove
17:33:09 <Siren[m]> monerobull[m]: Nope they rip easily
17:33:18 <Siren[m]> Which is actually good
17:33:22 <Siren[m]> They get pissed and give up
17:33:24 <Stnby[m]> Perfect for vandalising the city
17:33:55 <Stnby[m]> If they rip it we put 2 extra next day
17:34:00 <monerobull[m]> Kek I've never tried to remove em 
17:35:47 <plowsof> endor00: reminds me of https://xmr.gift/templates/black/ if this is something we like then pay the community member(s) who spear headed the gift card movement voluntarily 
17:37:55 <merope> But this isn't about gift cards 🤔
17:38:06 <plowsof> imagine 2 applications "hello im behind xmr - gift , i want to also make templates for wallet recover" vs "hello i have no experience, heres a proof of concept and im a random person"
17:39:10 <merope> Strictly speaking, that doesn't preclude the latter from delivering a nice design
17:39:39 <plowsof> which of the two would have our support?
17:40:09 <plowsof> if we want nicer designs we know people who can produce them already 
17:41:16 <merope> Both? While I share the reticence towards funding unknown people, I don't think that should be enough to reject a proposal. Otherwise you're driving outsiders away
17:43:07 <merope> The final decision to fund the proposal should be up to the donors themselves, not to us discussing it
17:43:10 <plowsof> "driving outsiders away" only when we don't need to outsource the labour 
17:43:12 <plowsof> e.g. https://monero.graphics/
17:45:06 <plowsof> but ofcourse, if there is no competing proposal... 
17:45:12 <merope> plowsof: I don't see a ccs proposal for paper wallet designs from them though
17:45:19 <merope> (oops, network lag)
17:47:04 <plowsof> it was posted several hours ago*
17:47:07 <merope> Aside from filtering out the "obviously bad" stuff, I don't think it's up to us to decide whether a proposal *should* be funded
17:50:02 <plowsof> what about "obviously better"?
17:50:10 <plowsof> or shld there be 2 ccs' for monero paper wallets simultaneously (or a few weeks apart) for paper wallets  
17:51:12 <merope> Why not? Why shouldn't there be two competing proposals?
17:51:12 <plowsof> if i contact gnuteardrops of monero.graphics and he posts a ccs for example 
17:51:17 <ofrnxmr[m]> plowsof:  panda said they would release a free copy for people to use and try
17:51:24 <plowsof> two competing proposals moved to funding?
17:51:27 <ofrnxmr[m]> So we can know better if we went to fund 20 more 
17:51:31 <ofrnxmr[m]> Want
17:51:57 <plowsof> true, this is a great 1st step 
17:52:09 <merope> plowsof: Yep
17:52:35 <plowsof> has that ever happened? 
17:53:25 <merope> Otherwise, it's 10 of us in this chatroom right now deciding whether a proposal is "worthy" of funding for *all potential monero donors*, purely based on our personal preference
17:53:59 <merope>  * Otherwise, it's 10 of us in this chatroom right now deciding whether a proposal is "worthy" of funding in the name of _all potential monero donors_, purely based on our personal preference
17:54:04 <ofrnxmr[m]> I try not to vote with person anything 
17:54:31 <ofrnxmr[m]> If I dont like a proposal, its usually for a reason I feel is valid and being overlooked 
17:55:24 <merope> And I don't think that would be fair towards proposers
17:55:24 <plowsof> (sometimes less than 10) but these meetings don't decide (in isolation) , its the overall  feedback obtained throughout the time the proposal is at the idea stage (be it from gitlab/reddit/irc)
17:55:24 <ofrnxmr[m]> Example, panda proposal when nobody knows what they are actually proposing 
17:56:16 <merope> ofrnxmr[m]: 10 paper wallet designs in 10 milestones? seemed pretty straightforward to me. Why would that *not* be a **valid** proposal?
17:57:06 <ofrnxmr[m]> I can create 10 paperwallets with a pencil and my big toe
17:57:25 <merope> And nobody's stopping you
17:57:30 <ofrnxmr[m]> Which is why an example was asked of, and why I requested a working model 
17:57:46 <ofrnxmr[m]> And panda seems to feel that to be reasonable 
17:58:03 <ofrnxmr[m]> Which should also help garner support / clear the noise
17:58:07 <merope> And they sent a wip design
17:58:12 <aremor[m]> ofrnxmr[m]: But will you do it. Or anyone else for that matter 
17:58:32 <ofrnxmr[m]> Endor, were arguing the same point? 
17:59:31 <merope> My point is that, in spite of the fact that this proposal seems perfectly valid, you voted against it (while claiming that you vote against proposals that have issues/are not valid)
18:00:04 <ofrnxmr[m]> I simply asked panda to submit a working version and they obliged? 
18:00:09 <plowsof> i think it was me who voted against it? or 
18:00:18 <ofrnxmr[m]> For further voting
18:00:42 <plowsof> its new so not much to vote on 
18:00:56 <merope> <ofrnxmr[m]> "Instaclose" <- ^
18:01:04 <ceetee[m]> ofrnxmr[m]: live stream pls 😍
18:01:14 <ofrnxmr[m]> I missed the /s ? Lol 
18:01:39 <plowsof> im just saying that i "know of people" who could do better (until of course, Panda proves otherwise - and now he has released a proof of concept design so thats a good start)
18:03:22 <merope> But that doesn't mean that we should be rejecting someone else's proposal
18:03:54 <plowsof> Members of Core agree/share your opinion, that we should not make the decision on who is worthy of getting funding
18:04:01 <ofrnxmr[m]> Then the better person should open a proposal 
18:05:09 <merope> Then all people should open a proposal, and it should be up to the donors to decide whether to fund one, the other, both, neither, or anything else
18:06:21 <ofrnxmr[m]> Moon and observer have "competing ccs". Cant believe I forgot about that example 
18:06:24 <plowsof> if all people where able to open a proposal we might have more proposals in my purgatory/OTHER list with unfinished milestones 
18:06:53 <plowsof> thus creating a bad look for the following proposals that come after it 
18:08:56 <ofrnxmr[m]> Panda: sorry for using you as an example 😂. Nothing against you or your proposal 
18:09:18 <plowsof> Panda sorry, you have/are doing everything correct 
18:10:21 <plowsof> my bias is that i want to show everyone the great work of some other contributors is all, clouding my decisions
18:14:01 <ofrnxmr[m]> Like.. I could use some more monerochan from a new artist 🤷‍♂️
18:19:19 <pandapaperwallet> No problem, by the way I do have another proof of concept design as wip if you are interested. This is a project I already started for myself and I just wanted to share my work with the community
18:25:10 <Stnby[m]> <pandapaperwallet> "No problem, by the way I do have..." <- Sure, I would be interested
18:32:55 <Siren[m]> monerobull: is this your voice? https://youtu.be/QYfUSImvRnQ
18:34:42 <Siren[m]> dat cringe zcash song holy shit
18:35:03 <monerobull[m]> Kek no
18:40:44 <Stnby[m]> <monerobull[m]> "Kek no" <- A bummer
18:41:33 <pandapaperwallet> <Stnby[m]> "Sure, I would be interested" <- I’m not at home right now but I will send it later
18:41:41 <monerobull[m]> Yeah, makes sad too
