Jfc the amount of bots in this post...
-
selsta
I feel like we need another reddit mod who can focus on banning them
-
nioc
bots taking over the world, seems a bit different than how it's portrayed in the movies
-
plowsof
tfw you have a notification and its a 2 month old account saying "Yes thats something, i'd have to think but i can see that!"
-
selsta
well luckily these are dumb bots
-
selsta
but once they use gpt3 or however it's called it will be more difficult to spot them
-
monerobull[m]
<selsta> "I feel like we need another..." <- I'd be down for it
-
monerobull[m]
<plowsof> "tfw you have a notification..." <- It's so irritating. I guess they are farming karma? But why in our subreddit specifically
-
plowsof
you need x karma before you can post on r/monero (and perhaps reddit wont 'count your downvote' as being legit if your account does not have some criteria)
-
plowsof
vote manipulation is a thing, but im just guessing here

To migrate my Monero Wallet from Windows to Linux, I'll just need my recovery seed, right?

25 words mnemonic seed for monero, private key for bitcoin
-
snail[m]
<spacekitty420[m]> "25 words mnemonic seed for..." <- So I just take copy, nuke the OS, and type them into the new Linux distro?
-
spacekitty420[m]
./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet
-
spacekitty420[m]
on the linux side
-
spacekitty420[m]
then yea, just paste the 25 words when prompted
-
snail[m]
spacekitty420[m]: And it will be exactly the same as how it was?

No lost functionality?
-
snail[m]
I also have a hardware device, so, what happens with that?

snail[m]
Is that tied to the funds?

spacekitty420[m]
you can try doing it on windows already if you want to familiarize yourself with the process

No lost functionality? (IE, sending or receiving funds?)
-
spacekitty420[m]
as for hardware wallet, am not sure, i think it works differently
-
spacekitty420[m]
but as long as you have those seeds backed up then it should be all good
-
spacekitty420[m]
functionnality-wise, if you're using the same software so like monero-cli or monero-cli then it's all the same yeah

Sir, I have a question. For example, 24 words and after +25 words for Monero are entered on the Ledger Nano X device, is it possible to enter Monero without +25 words with 24 words that have been re-enter on the Ledger Nano X device or not? Without +25 words. With only 24 words.
-
merope
<snail[m]> "To migrate my Monero Wallet from..." <- I think you don't even need to do the recovery process - just copy the wallet files to the new os and open them with the wallet software as usual
-
snail[m]
merope: I have tons of wallets, I prefer to use the seed.
-
spacekitty420[m]
decenteroven[m]: usually your hardware wallet seed is not related to your monero wallet seed
-
spacekitty420[m]
i think
-
spacekitty420[m]
like, it's 2 different things

-
snail[m]
wait what
-
snail[m]
So I'll need to take note of my hardware wallet seeds?
-
merope
snail[m]: Sure, but I'm saying it's not necessary. Also, when you recover from seed, you lose any transaction metadata that was saved in the wallet cache (such as the recipient address - visible only to you locally)
-
merope
snail[m]: ALWAYS write down your seed
-
merope
If your hardware wallet breaks or gets lost or stops working, you lose access to your coins without the seed
-
spacekitty420[m]
snail[m]: sowry like said earlier i really dont know nothing about hardware wallet, is just what i heard that it's 2 different things
-
spacekitty420[m]
but yeah, it's good practice to save the seeds no matter what it is
-
snail[m]
I have the seeds noted, I just want to know what I'm saving.
-
snail[m]
merope: Right...
-
merope
<decenteroven[m]> "Sir, I have a question. For..." <- If I remember correctly, Ledger's 24 word seed uses a different format from Monero's 25 word seed - they are two different things
-
decenteroven[m]
For example, if I enter 24 words in ledger without entering 25 words, can I reach monero or not?
-
spacekitty420[m]
so like, i could be totally wrong on that but from my understanding (which is really not much cause never googled that stuff)
-
spacekitty420[m]
is like, your hardware wallet having it's own seed which hold all the cryptocoins you have on that hardware wallet
-
spacekitty420[m]
apparently there are ways to extract the seed from a specific coin, no idea how tho
-
spacekitty420[m]
so that hardware wallet seed is not to be confused with for example a monero seed that you would have by for example just generating a wallet from the monero-wallet-cli or gui by itself which can be restored without the use of hardware wallet at all
-

-
snail[m]
and you mentioned transactions, will I loose my transaction history?
-
spacekitty420[m]
very, that's why i never understood why people choose to make it confusing by using hardware wallet instead of just doing it easily by making paper wallets themselves
-
merope
snail[m]: Tell that to the hardware wallet's developers...
-
spacekitty420[m]
snail[m]: not transaction history but info like where it goes to and such which is only stored in the data file and not recoverable from seed
-
snail[m]
fun
-
merope
When you rescan the chain you will see all your transactions again, but only the data that was actually published to the blockchain (txid, amounts, spent/unspent balance). Anything else (recipient address, any notes you might have had, or recipient addresses you might have saved) will be lost
-
decenteroven[m]
Let's assume after get 25 words for monero in Ledger nano. For example, if I enter 24 words without entering 25 words in the Ledger nano, can I reach monero or not?
-
merope
<decenteroven[m]> "For example, if I enter 24 words..." <- If you use a 24-word seed that was created from the Ledger, to restore a wallet on the Ledger, then you will find the same original wallet. If you try to use a Monero 25-word seed to restore a Ledger wallet, you will find a different (empty) wallet)
-
merope
Actually, I'm not even sure if the ledger will accept the same words that Monero uses
-
spacekitty420[m]
probably 2 different dictionaries yeah, like the bip thingy for bitcoin are different words than the monero words
-
merope
Basically, Ledger's 24-word seed and Monero's 25-word are not compatible
-
decenteroven[m]
Let's say after you get 25 words for monero in ledger nano and buyed 30 monero and 30 monero in ledger nano. For example, if I enter 24 words without entering 25 words into Ledger nano, can I reach 30 monero or not?
-
spacekitty420[m]
most likely not
-
spacekitty420[m]
-
spacekitty420[m]
4 years ago so idk if it's still up to date or not but long story short, it's 2 different seeds

I'm trying to tell you this. If 25 words of monero seeds are installed next to the ledger nano x 24 words seed, then if I reset the hardware wallet, if I enter 24 words into ledger nano x to access monero, can I access monero assets without entering 25 words?

what are you telling us, we all already told you B.

Try it, preferably with all XMR your have and get back to us with the answer

if you are seriously this concerned, go ask their support.

you dont have to convert anything, the reddit link is only if ledger goes out of business

so just use the 24 word for the 24 word

well there you go decenteroven

Is the monero team in this group?
-
spacekitty420[m]
because you'll end up with a 25 words monero seed that can be restored directly into the monero wallet without using hardware wallet

-
ofrnxmr[m]
Speaker travel is covered by CCS or income?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
How many attended the last one?
-
nioc
a very rough guess is 200+
-
nioc
there was a number given which I obviously don't remember
-
ofrnxmr[m]
160k for the last? Lower due to inflation?
-
nioc
ofrnxmr[m]: there will be a meeting in #monero-events next Sat
-
nioc
not saying that questions here and now are not good :)
-
ajs_[m]
ofrnxmr: speakers can apply for a travel grant for up to 800 eur... they would need provide a copy of flight tickets, hotel, local transport.. it is opt-in, not automatic
-
nioc
ofrnxmr[m]: please pump so that it becomes easier, please and ty :)
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Speakers speak for free? Or are paid?
-
ajs_[m]
speakers are not paid
-
ajs_[m]
but they can apply for grant if they need funding assistance for travel costs
-
ofrnxmr[m]
How many speakers and attendees of the last one?
-
ajs_[m]
nioc: ponsors/patrons rate is slightly higher... Cypherpunk Hero was 7.5k, for next year, I've priced it at 8k
-
ajs_[m]
we had around 200 people is Lisbon, for 2023, we are aiming for 300-400
-
ajs_[m]
speakers - around 30 i think
-
ajs_[m]
attendees - ~200
-
ajs_[m]
we are adding 1 more day, so we'll have more talks next year
-
monerobull[m]
If someone could share how they felt about the Lisboa talks and the program in general that would help me out with planing for next kon
-
spacekitty420[m]
<ajs_[m]> "we are adding 1 more day, so we..." <- will it be on like youtube or twitch or somethin?
-
ajs_[m]
spacekitty420: i'll look into getting a hardware encoder so we can live stream directly to youtube/twitch
-
ajs_[m]

nioc
Core should love that o_0
-
spacekitty420[m]
as said in the monero-markets channel earlier today, in here evading tax be like just growing your own food so you dont have to pay that VAT at the store buying for it, evading tax can be done legally without even the irs wanting to McAfee your ass o.o
-
merope
<m4dire0701[m]> "image.jpeg" <- Imagine thinking that tax evasion is the solution to financial issues
-
spacekitty420[m]
tax evasion is the solution to stop funding dumb useless wars being funded by taxes tho
-
spacekitty420[m]
well scratch that, they can just print more so nvm
-
ceetee[m]
I don't mind paying my fair share, but I fucking hate the burocracy involved which is only in place to help a select few that know the loopholes
-
merope
ceetee[m]: A fair point, but that's already a separate issue
-
merope
<m4dire0701[m]> "image.jpeg" <- Also: imagine thinking that promoting the (false) equivalency that Monero == tax evaders will actually help Monero in any way
-
spacekitty420[m]
i still pay 20% VAT using monero at shopinbit.com, it aint evading shit but it's still a good meme, me likey o.o
-
merope
If I wore a tinfoil hat, I'd be tempted to say that shit like this is an active attempt at subversion of the Monero project and its goals (ie. create a fair, private, decentralized, digital currency)
-
ceetee[m]
I don't like xmr being framed that way either, but you can't prevent it, so I want to highlight that it isn't inherently evil
-
merope
I get the funny memes and all that, but if we keep presenting the project like this everywhere we go, outsiders who don't actually know the details will inevitably start believing this shit
-
merope
So it is inherently evil, in a way
-
ceetee[m]
If I tip some dude building FOSS (a public good) to cover a fraction of the hosting costs, there shouldnt be taxes on it let alone additional burocracy
-
spacekitty420[m]
it's like that meme being like "darknet market?" then the "disaprove face", "decentralized pharmacy" and the thumbup o.o
-
spacekitty420[m]
doesnt mean darknet markets are good but is fun meme :3
-
merope
ceetee[m]: That's a tax policy matter though - independent from Monero. Any such tax (or lack thereof) would apply the exact same way regardless of your choice of currency - whether dollars, euros, monero, or anything else
-
merope
It's important to establish the fact that the answer to the question "What is Monero?" is "Digital cash", not "a tax evasion tool" nor "money for criminals"
-
spacekitty420[m]
<ceetee[m]> "If I tip some dude building FOSS..." <- and the tax in that case is just built into the protocol going back to miners
-
merope
(tx fees are not a tax though)
-
spacekitty420[m]
semantics :P
-
merope
So often I see people posting shit like "Monero is a tool for criminals" as if the criminal activity had any relation to Monero whatsoever, when in fact they're really saying "MONEY is a tool for criminals" - because that's what Monero is: money. And anyone can use money to do lots of things, good and bad
-
merope
Wanna promote Monero? There's your marketing guideline ^
-
ceetee[m]
<merope> "That's a tax policy matter..." <- Well yes, of course. But it was an example why not all tax evasion is evil. And presenting the memes (which cant be prevented) in this way is definitely better than the default base association you already explained
-
spacekitty420[m]
merope: that's exactly what i been doing for years, promoting the legal markets without mentioning the dark side
-
spacekitty420[m]
like fuck, currently even maintaining a thread about monero on a video game forum and when called out about tax evasion i said the 20% VAT on shopinbit example, been documenting all those legit legal stores and whatnot....
-
spacekitty420[m]
meme'ing is good tho <3
-
spacekitty420[m]
-
spacekitty420[m]
maybe am meme'nig too much tho? idk, i like memes aight?? 😹
-
Siren[m]
<ceetee[m]> "If I tip some dude building FOSS..." <- Let alone that, I find it unfair that the government tries to tax SaaS, or contract work for system administration, development etc.
-
Siren[m]
The government contributes to nothing in these areas. They basically put all our tax money into micro$oft windows licenses for bus stop screens and bus displays. Or proprietary software alike.
-
ceetee[m]
In my example there are laws in many cases that a) community service is untaxed and b) net losses are untaxed. So this hypothetical dev wouldn't have to pay any anyway, but still has to deal with the burocracy.
-
ceetee[m]
Taxes are not meant like Spotify subscription fees, where you get something you want directly in return. Rather it should be used for the public good in general. Details on where to collect and what to spend on are highly complex and always up for debate
-
monerobull[m]
All software paid for with taxes should be FOSS
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
But if your donating to a dev in xmr and they dont swap to fiat, what taxes are they going to pay?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Ask johnfoss
-
spacekitty420[m]
DanIsnotthemanBr: VAT is still applicable when paying goods with xmr in europe, swapping to fiat would be the crypto tax which is a different thing
-
spacekitty420[m]
then there's those cucks in oz that themselves want to pay that income tax and unrealized tax gains even if they doing a wownero <-> monero trade
-
Siren[m]
<DanIsnotthemanBr> "But if your donating to a dev in..." <- In where I live it's not taxable until you convert to fiat. You can choose not to convert ever, then you won't pay income tax.
-
spacekitty420[m]
same and for mining, what even is the point of reporting it anyways, aussies would tho 😹
-
spacekitty420[m]
and then there's peer to peer trading
-
spacekitty420[m]
non-kyc cash by mail local monero, tax eva...wut? :3
-
spacekitty420[m]
<m4dire0701[m]> "image.jpeg" <- maybe could do the redirect to haveno instead when it'll be on mainnet 😈
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Where I live I dont have any overlord. Some doofus calls himself the boss, but he dont give a shit about us
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Wanna spend my taxes on harassing me, they can lick me left and right nuts. That wouldnt be a bad deal
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Somehow there's TONNEESSS of money to feed and house child molestors
-
ofrnxmr[m]
But not homeless people
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Anyway, wrong chat, sorry
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
Rage
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Monero
-
spacekitty420[m]
ofrnxmr[m]: in some backward fucked up countries they even putting them at the head of the country as "president", go figure..... :derp:
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
<Siren[m]> "In where I live it's not taxable..." <- Here you get hit with capital gains tax
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Whole government full of people protecting each other and their own interests, in every country
-
Siren[m]
DanIsnotthemanBr: Never report your gains :D
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
Naaah there here for the people…..
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Siren[m]: Report your losses 🍿
-
ofrnxmr[m]
DanIsnotthemanBr: Their* people. Fixed it for yoy
-
Siren[m]
If they care so much about the safety of the investors to the point of KYC and taxes, why won't they compensate investors' losses
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
Easier to hack my account and fix it
-
Siren[m]
Right, they only want to steal from you lmao
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
I think kyc made the optus data breach worse then it needed to be.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
My monero does NOT have a fiat value
-
ofrnxmr[m]
And fiat is valueless to me. So what tax? What disposal?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Its like buying video game tokens. Leave me alone
-
ofrnxmr[m]
I believe in taxes, sure. But no I dont not believe in. .. any (?) Major Politician currently in power
-
spacekitty420[m]
right, always compared cryptocoins to like world of warcraft in-game gold or pokemon cards or whatever
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Attacks against "us" all day. Clearly they _want_ to by my enemy
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
I still have the holographic ones
-
ofrnxmr[m]
In which case, im happy to oblige and help destroy their currency and replace it with a fair system of trade
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Learned it from a video game called monero
-
Siren[m]
spacekitty420[m]: There's a game with Monero as its currency :D
townforge.net
-
spacekitty420[m]
even if technically they also have a usd value (chinese in-game gold farmers, selling them for real usd value), in-game gold is still considered being that to the eyes of govs while cryptocoins aint, just dont make sense to me
-
Siren[m]
* There's a game with Monero fork as its currency :D
townforge.net
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Pretty sure that is moneromoo's (so, trusted)
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Technically says who
-
spacekitty420[m]
says the market
-
Siren[m]
How can government evaluate Monero/fiat price?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Delist xmr from exchanges and I cant "trade" it
-
ofrnxmr[m]
It doesnt "exist" in the cryptocurrency charts of these cuckchanges
-
Siren[m]
Siren[m]: Isn't the price listed on exchanges a speculation anyways?
-
spacekitty420[m]
Siren[m]: also:
-
spacekitty420[m]
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
Still need an on ramp when shit hits the fan.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Forcing me to find a way to sell xmr in order to obtain fiat to give to them
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Asinine
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Yall closed the exchanges

Anyway, ofrnxmr for president
-
spacekitty420[m]
president of nwo? o.o
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
And then you will make money on the side?
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
;)
-
Siren[m]
ofrnxmr[m]: Exactly, they confiscate it and then they have no clue how to sell it
-
Siren[m]
Happened in Lithuania
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
Speaker roles i think they call it
-
Siren[m]
Even governments can't sell it anymore easily
-
spacekitty420[m]
wasnt there like an auction for bitcoin they confiscated and it sold at more than market price cause it was considered "clean" bitcoin? so dumb LOL
-
Siren[m]
Oh shittt
-
Siren[m]
Governments can clean Bitcoin and sell it for profit
-
spacekitty420[m]
yup x)
-
ofrnxmr[m]
spacekitty420[m]: Call me the broken magnum Trojan horse
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
Reminds me of the guy in web of lies make believe
-
Siren[m]
If I was a president I would clean Bitcoin and make my country rich
-
spacekitty420[m]
dont even have to actually do anything to clean them, just saying that now they're clean and it's done
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Siren[m]: What do you think they do with all the bitcoin they steal from exchanges?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
You think they arent one ones stealing from US?
-
ofrnxmr[m]
They = government
-
DanIsnotthemanBr
Got of out of jail because they used a stringray illegally and all his criminal gains he converted fiat to gold so after he got arrested the gov sold the gold and silver and made more money then he stole.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Bitcoin is fungible, if youre the government

Hey guys, I'll need two people that can read and write well on Russian and Hindi to translate Trocador.app. I preffer native speakers that can use Github. The person will only have to put some phrases (from only one file) on Google translate and then see if there's something strange with the translation. It's not much work, I'll pay 0.2 XMR to each. Anyone interested, just let me know.
-
ofrnxmr[m]
Morpheus: there is a Russian translator
-
Morpheus[m]
Who?

ofrnxmr[m]

Cool, ok thanks bro
