00:23:26 https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/yle5i7/my_3d_printed_monero_miner_case/ 00:23:26 Jfc the amount of bots in this post... 00:25:02 I feel like we need another reddit mod who can focus on banning them 00:29:52 bots taking over the world, seems a bit different than how it's portrayed in the movies 00:31:51 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!" 00:35:05 well luckily these are dumb bots 00:35:25 but once they use gpt3 or however it's called it will be more difficult to spot them 03:32:49 "I feel like we need another..." <- I'd be down for it 03:34:07 "tfw you have a notification..." <- It's so irritating. I guess they are farming karma? But why in our subreddit specifically 03:36:52 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) 03:37:21 vote manipulation is a thing, but im just guessing here 06:22:09 Howdy. 06:22:12 To migrate my Monero Wallet from Windows to Linux, I'll just need my recovery seed, right? 06:22:27 This would be the same for any device? 06:26:05 s/device/cryptocurrency/ 06:26:08 yes 06:26:45 25 words mnemonic seed for monero, private key for bitcoin 06:32:27 "25 words mnemonic seed for..." <- So I just take copy, nuke the OS, and type them into the new Linux distro? 06:32:51 ./monero-wallet-cli --restore-deterministic-wallet 06:32:54 on the linux side 06:33:03 then yea, just paste the 25 words when prompted 06:33:35 spacekitty420[m]: And it will be exactly the same as how it was? 06:33:36 No lost functionality? 06:34:00 I also have a hardware device, so, what happens with that? 06:34:06 Is that tied to the funds? 06:35:06 you can try doing it on windows already if you want to familiarize yourself with the process 06:35:06 restoring that same wallet you have by doing the same steps you would be doing on linux 06:35:32 > <@spacekitty420:matrix.org> you can try doing it on windows already if you want to familiarize yourself with the process 06:35:32 > restoring that same wallet you have by doing the same steps you would be doing on linux 06:35:32 No lost functionality? (IE, sending or receiving funds?) 06:36:41 as for hardware wallet, am not sure, i think it works differently 06:36:41 but as long as you have those seeds backed up then it should be all good 06:36:41 functionnality-wise, if you're using the same software so like monero-cli or monero-cli then it's all the same yeah 06:36:51 s/cli/gui/ 06:37:08 Right. Cheers. 06:37:14 cheers 06:37:56 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. 06:38:42 "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 06:39:04 merope: I have tons of wallets, I prefer to use the seed. 06:39:15 decenteroven[m]: usually your hardware wallet seed is not related to your monero wallet seed 06:39:16 i think 06:39:16 like, it's 2 different things 06:40:24 > <@spacekitty420:matrix.org> usually your hardware wallet seed is not related to your monero wallet seed 06:40:24 > i think 06:40:24 > like, it's 2 different things 06:40:24 wait what 06:40:25 So I'll need to take note of my hardware wallet seeds? 06:40:36 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) 06:41:13 snail[m]: ALWAYS write down your seed 06:41:39 If your hardware wallet breaks or gets lost or stops working, you lose access to your coins without the seed 06:41:50 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 06:41:50 but yeah, it's good practice to save the seeds no matter what it is 06:42:10 I have the seeds noted, I just want to know what I'm saving. 06:42:13 merope: Right... 06:43:40 "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 06:45:38 For example, if I enter 24 words in ledger without entering 25 words, can I reach monero or not? 06:46:19 so like, i could be totally wrong on that but from my understanding (which is really not much cause never googled that stuff) 06:46:19 is like, your hardware wallet having it's own seed which hold all the cryptocoins you have on that hardware wallet 06:46:19 apparently there are ways to extract the seed from a specific coin, no idea how tho 06:46:19 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 06:46:44 > <@spacekitty420:matrix.org> so like, i could be totally wrong on that but from my understanding (which is really not much cause never googled that stuff)... (full message at ) 06:47:28 and you mentioned transactions, will I loose my transaction history? 06:47:33 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 06:47:41 snail[m]: Tell that to the hardware wallet's developers... 06:48:32 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 06:48:46 fun 06:50:01 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 06:51:51 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? 06:51:58 "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) 06:52:42 Actually, I'm not even sure if the ledger will accept the same words that Monero uses 06:53:16 probably 2 different dictionaries yeah, like the bip thingy for bitcoin are different words than the monero words 06:53:16 Basically, Ledger's 24-word seed and Monero's 25-word are not compatible 06:56:26 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? 06:56:56 most likely not 07:01:25 decenteroven[m]: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/a1o9sz/comment/eb0qq17/... (full message at ) 07:02:06 4 years ago so idk if it's still up to date or not but long story short, it's 2 different seeds 07:53:54 https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=AUdh3W4xd6I 07:53:55 Is this how it works? 07:59:43 Yeah, pretty dumb, isn't it? Much better to mint millions of NFTs and pretend they have real value, or fire up one new blockchain after the other and pretend those coins all have value. Solid. 08:37:26 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 reach? A) Can reach to monero B) Cannot reach to Monero Is it A or B? 08:37:40 dude, you asked it like 4 times already 08:38:27 A or B? 08:38:38 ๐Ÿ’€ 08:38:56 you got your answer 08:39:11 I use translation 08:39:16 A or B? 08:40:09 what part of https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/a1o9sz/comment/eb0qq17/ you didn't get? 08:40:15 24 and 25 word seeds use different formats 08:40:18 Sir I use translation. 08:40:23 BBBBBBBBBBB 08:40:24 B 08:40:38 I know it is different seeds but A or B? 08:40:55 BRO 08:42:01 B 08:42:23 you needs special tools to convert 24 to 25 words 08:42:25 U 08:43:49 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? 08:44:17 nice one 08:44:39 what are you telling us, we all already told you B. 08:44:58 if you want to enter it, you need the special tool to convert 24 to 25 words. 08:44:59 the infomation is all in front of you. 08:48:31 If I convert 24 words to 25 words for monero in the hardware wallet and then reset the hardware wallet, do I only need to enter 24 words or 24 words + 25 words to access the monero entity? 08:51:32 Maybe 08:51:53 Try it, preferably with all XMR your have and get back to us with the answer 08:51:58 I don't have ledger 08:52:04 maybe ask ledger support 08:52:30 You know but you don't tell me 08:52:42 If I convert 24 words to 25 words for monero in the hardware wallet and then reset the hardware wallet, do I only need to enter 24 words or 24 words + 25 words to access the monero entity? 08:54:08 Are u here sir 08:54:12 If I convert 24 words to 25 words for monero in the hardware wallet and then reset the hardware wallet, do I only need to enter 24 words or 24 words + 25 words to access the monero entity? 08:55:20 Sir! I don't know! I don't have ledger! 08:55:27 But 24 and 25 words are different formats! 08:55:35 If ledger asks for 24 words, enter original 24 words! 08:56:26 I know there are different formats but you didn't understand the question 08:57:27 You enter 24 words 08:57:45 If I convert 24 words to 25 words for monero in the hardware wallet and then reset the hardware wallet, do I only need to enter 24 words or 24 words + 25 words to access the monero entity?

A) enter 24 word B) enter 24 word + 25 word 09:11:42 "You know but you don't tell me" <- no 09:11:46 they dont know 09:11:49 why would they know 09:11:51 go ask ledger support 09:12:01 if you are seriously this concerned, go ask their support. 09:12:01 you dont have to convert anything, the reddit link is only if ledger goes out of business 09:12:26 so just use the 24 word for the 24 word 09:12:26 well there you go decenteroven 09:13:14 But, but.. What if ๐Ÿคฃ 09:13:38 what if you try to put the square in the circle? well it just wont fit so put the square in the square and the circle in the circle 09:14:28 Thanks.

Cypherpunk Hero was 7.5k, for next year, I've priced it at 8k 16:53:20 we had around 200 people is Lisbon, for 2023, we are aiming for 300-400 16:54:24 speakers - around 30 i think 16:55:39 attendees - ~200 16:56:15 we are adding 1 more day, so we'll have more talks next year 17:30:01 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 17:35:22 "we are adding 1 more day, so we..." <- will it be on like youtube or twitch or somethin? 17:57:37 spacekitty420: i'll look into getting a hardware encoder so we can live stream directly to youtube/twitch 17:58:35 something like this https://www.kiloview.com/en/encoder/h-265-hardware-encoder/ 18:23:54 * m4dire0701[m] uploaded an image: (29KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/t2bot.io/0a8a55a1c2078b0435cdda870a7e4ba5e7d5c476/image.jpeg > 18:41:25 Core should love that o_0 18:43:37 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 18:45:50 "image.jpeg" <- Imagine thinking that tax evasion is the solution to financial issues 18:46:39 tax evasion is the solution to stop funding dumb useless wars being funded by taxes tho 18:47:07 well scratch that, they can just print more so nvm 18:48:06 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 18:48:44 ceetee[m]: A fair point, but that's already a separate issue 18:49:16 "image.jpeg" <- Also: imagine thinking that promoting the (false) equivalency that Monero == tax evaders will actually help Monero in any way 18:50:37 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 18:50:37 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) 18:51:10 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 18:51:57 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 18:52:15 So it is inherently evil, in a way 18:52:16 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 18:52:46 it's like that meme being like "darknet market?" then the "disaprove face", "decentralized pharmacy" and the thumbup o.o 18:52:46 doesnt mean darknet markets are good but is fun meme :3 18:55:24 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 18:57:08 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" 18:57:16 "If I tip some dude building FOSS..." <- and the tax in that case is just built into the protocol going back to miners 18:57:55 (tx fees are not a tax though) 18:58:16 semantics :P 18:59:42 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 19:00:07 Wanna promote Monero? There's your marketing guideline ^ 19:00:55 "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 19:02:36 merope: that's exactly what i been doing for years, promoting the legal markets without mentioning the dark side 19:02:36 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.... 19:02:36 meme'ing is good tho <3 19:04:08 https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=96310882&f=383 19:04:08 maybe am meme'nig too much tho? idk, i like memes aight?? ๐Ÿ˜น 19:48:42 "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. 19:50:00 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. 20:01:44 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. 20:01:44 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 20:18:56 All software paid for with taxes should be FOSS 20:32:16 But if your donating to a dev in xmr and they dont swap to fiat, what taxes are they going to pay? 20:33:01 Ask johnfoss 20:35:06 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 20:35:06 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 20:42:49 "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. 20:44:24 same and for mining, what even is the point of reporting it anyways, aussies would tho ๐Ÿ˜น 20:49:04 and then there's peer to peer trading 20:49:04 non-kyc cash by mail local monero, tax eva...wut? :3 20:51:13 "image.jpeg" <- maybe could do the redirect to haveno instead when it'll be on mainnet ๐Ÿ˜ˆ 20:54:08 Where I live I dont have any overlord. Some doofus calls himself the boss, but he dont give a shit about us 20:54:51 Wanna spend my taxes on harassing me, they can lick me left and right nuts. That wouldnt be a bad deal 20:55:29 Somehow there's TONNEESSS of money to feed and house child molestors 20:55:39 But not homeless people 20:55:46 Anyway, wrong chat, sorry 20:56:29 Rage 20:56:37 Monero 20:56:51 ofrnxmr[m]: in some backward fucked up countries they even putting them at the head of the country as "president", go figure..... :derp: 20:57:07 "In where I live it's not taxable..." <- Here you get hit with capital gains tax 20:57:22 Whole government full of people protecting each other and their own interests, in every country 20:57:39 DanIsnotthemanBr: Never report your gains :D 20:57:55 Naaah there here for the peopleโ€ฆ.. 20:58:16 Siren[m]: Report your losses ๐Ÿฟ 20:58:28 DanIsnotthemanBr: Their* people. Fixed it for yoy 20:58:54 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 20:58:54 Easier to hack my account and fix it 20:59:09 Right, they only want to steal from you lmao 20:59:40 I think kyc made the optus data breach worse then it needed to be. 20:59:46 My monero does NOT have a fiat value 21:00:07 And fiat is valueless to me. So what tax? What disposal? 21:00:38 Its like buying video game tokens. Leave me alone 21:01:30 I believe in taxes, sure. But no I dont not believe in. .. any (?) Major Politician currently in power 21:01:50 right, always compared cryptocoins to like world of warcraft in-game gold or pokemon cards or whatever 21:02:50 Attacks against "us" all day. Clearly they _want_ to by my enemy 21:02:54 I still have the holographic ones 21:03:01 In which case, im happy to oblige and help destroy their currency and replace it with a fair system of trade 21:03:08 Learned it from a video game called monero 21:03:10 spacekitty420[m]: There's a game with Monero as its currency :D https://townforge.net/ 21:03:37 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 21:03:54 * There's a game with Monero fork as its currency :D https://townforge.net/ 21:04:08 Pretty sure that is moneromoo's (so, trusted) 21:04:33 Technically says who 21:04:45 says the market 21:04:47 How can government evaluate Monero/fiat price? 21:04:51 Delist xmr from exchanges and I cant "trade" it 21:05:07 It doesnt "exist" in the cryptocurrency charts of these cuckchanges 21:05:19 Siren[m]: Isn't the price listed on exchanges a speculation anyways? 21:06:06 Siren[m]: also: 21:06:06 https://www.reddit.com/r/Wownero/comments/y42qmr/wowmud_alpha_launch/ 21:06:09 Still need an on ramp when shit hits the fan. 21:06:32 Forcing me to find a way to sell xmr in order to obtain fiat to give to them 21:06:35 Asinine 21:06:40 Yall closed the exchanges 21:06:42 > <@spacekitty420:matrix.org> also: 21:06:42 > https://www.reddit.com/r/Wownero/comments/y42qmr/wowmud_alpha_launch/ 21:06:42 I fucking love rogue-likes 21:06:58 Eat an ๐Ÿ† or ๐Ÿ‘ 21:07:45 Anyway, ofrnxmr for president 21:08:48 president of nwo? o.o 21:09:09 And then you will make money on the side? 21:09:12 ;) 21:09:22 ofrnxmr[m]: Exactly, they confiscate it and then they have no clue how to sell it 21:09:27 Happened in Lithuania 21:09:27 Speaker roles i think they call it 21:09:52 Even governments can't sell it anymore easily 21:10:52 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 21:11:15 Oh shittt 21:11:30 Governments can clean Bitcoin and sell it for profit 21:11:40 yup x) 21:11:54 spacekitty420[m]: Call me the broken magnum Trojan horse 21:11:54 Reminds me of the guy in web of lies make believe 21:11:54 If I was a president I would clean Bitcoin and make my country rich 21:12:51 dont even have to actually do anything to clean them, just saying that now they're clean and it's done 21:13:24 Siren[m]: What do you think they do with all the bitcoin they steal from exchanges? 21:13:24 You think they arent one ones stealing from US? 21:13:28 They = government 21:13:55 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. 21:17:33 Bitcoin is fungible, if youre the government 21:17:49 "You see dirt? Nope. Me neither" 21:18:06 ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ 21:18:56 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.
