[xmr-btc-swap development and improvement](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/355) 16:10:27 monerobull[m]1: Personally, I think comit is a complete waste if resources. 16:10:29 i am ready to vote 16:11:08 You can vote this year for me at magic monero fund, I think fund can enjoy some extra help 16:11:12 and yes commit 16:11:19 not for approval I think at this point 16:11:42 I would delay it for two weeks or something 16:12:28 ofrnxmr[m]: Agreed. 16:12:57 BasicSwapDex and Farcaster seem to be way ahead already 16:13:16 But hey. Proposal was already merged. 16:13:16 MajesticBank @MajesticBank:libera.chat: I dont see any reason for comit backend / unstoppableswap gui being used. Last time i checked there were was probably less than $10 in liquidity 16:13:33 at this moment in time im saying close 16:14:07 There is a solution for that, I feel like we hadn't tested protocol enough to disregard funding totally 16:14:14 the proposer also had wrong xmr numbers the entire time (discovered only recently) and overall rushed / not planned well 16:14:22 this proposal is nothing something I fancy still 16:14:31 they have reduced their workload and doubled the hourly rates basically 16:14:59 Bait and switch? 16:15:32 someone called delta1 i would prefer to make a ccs proposal (if aynone follows the repo(s) they would see this person doing alot of things and was congratulated specifically by binarybaron when releasing the beta for their work on the cli) 16:15:43 but yeha, comit isnt cool atm 16:16:32 "i am ready to vote..." <- Im trying to login so i can downvote 16:16:43 there are open bounties totalling +4 xmr for the cli - leito should complete these to show his worth before considering a ccs 16:17:24 Farcaster released something.

Even if it reads out observer articles and reddit posts 16:31:05 plowsof11: Sounds like something ill never listen to 16:31:18 These days, everything is on demand 16:31:21 Id rather have an RSS feed and a YouTube playlist 16:31:21 i listed to yewtu . be videos 16:31:22 listen* 16:31:29 Monero Observer came after Monero Moon. And MO turned out to be much better. But yes I also worry that radio may not have much of a market 16:31:54 And I2p radio even less 16:31:57 xmrradio had ccs money pumped into AND a full page of wishlist items funded 16:32:22 average listeners topped 20? less? 16:32:22 It's not i2p-only, is it? 16:32:28 now yes 16:32:39 but even when it was clearnet + live streaming site 16:32:46 It's a fun idea but if we are being realistic, it's a total waste of funds 16:32:54 plowsof11: Id imagine 5 of those were themselves 16:33:03 1 was me ;_; 16:33:20 Was? WAS?! 16:33:32 it was a phase i went through ! 16:33:37 Yeah aren't you jacked into the i2p radio rn? 16:33:52 Radio, and newsletters, are "go get em" jobs 16:34:15 they can act on this and we can have a vote on the 14th? 16:34:16 And have potential to be massively profitable 16:34:25 Just ask Alex Jones or Joe Rogan 16:34:31 yes, let's give them some extra time 16:34:39 holidays and such 16:34:48 There's not much to act on, the reality is, the viewership will be tiny to none :/ 16:34:59 top was about 30 16:35:02 Right 16:35:09 I also think that they could get sponsors to run ads. The target audience is very clear 16:35:09 now, about 5-10 16:35:19 ^ this is very clear but its so much easier to ask ccs 16:35:22 streaming over i2p and tor 16:35:25 ALSO, they are sponsored 16:35:32 Lol what 16:35:43 and only creative commons music 16:35:44 By cake iirc plowsof @plowsof:matrix.org: 16:35:53 you mean lovera now? 16:36:01 I mean ntmth 16:36:39 Or am I wrong and they are not sponsored by cake? 16:36:47 i didnt know that ? btw bulletproof ++ author was hired by blockstream to (among other things complete the rest of their paper ) so thats nice / hopeful it will be available in a month(s) .. i hope 16:36:57 i dont think theyre sponsored by cake 16:37:08 Excuse me πŸ™ im probably mixing up with someone else 16:37:09 right... 16:37:14 d.

Anyway, I support as-is 16:56:32 At least he didnt lie to ya 16:57:09 So people know: The status of Seraphis is like a building that has had its skeleton laid. Now jberman, dangerousFreedom, and rbrunner are putting in the electrical wiring, etc 16:57:21 lets quickly touch on some work groups - MRL ~ Ruckniums recent work on p2pool provided some tangible numbers of 'chain bloat' and such to push along the creation of 2 new issues 16:57:54 New issues were old issues fwiw 16:57:54 But the structural engineers have not done the calculations to make sure the loads are safe. No one can occupy the building (Seraphis can't go to mainnet) without those calculations 16:57:57 indeed, old issues but without Ruckniums recent work, they would not have gained support right now 16:58:03 And we would have to tear down part of the building if there are problems found with the current structure 16:58:25 Thanks ruck for putting numbers out there 16:58:39 https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/109 and https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/108 16:58:41 Monerobull knows what I had to say about it πŸ˜ƒ 16:58:56 P2pool and chain bloat etc 16:59:06 Yes, people had talked about this for six months or more.

Development isn't decentralized unless more people give input. 17:01:54 Its possible for p2pool miners to accumulate outputs for a long period of time, then flood the network with huge tx as they consolidate 17:01:54 btw the monero atm page is actually a funding page. they want to raise 7xmr and are 25~% of the way already https://kernal.eu/~siren/monero-atm/ 17:02:25 Nice 17:02:56 AOB 17:03:19 there will be an events meeting on the 14th too 17:05:16 thank you all for joining , hope to see you next week on the 14th then back to every other week 17:05:19 Thanks for the good meeting and grep moderation plowsof11. 17:06:20 thank you msvb-lab! 17:07:26 another meeting on the 14th? 17:07:34 \o/ I <3 meetings 17:07:51 im emotionally attached and need another asap 17:41:28 "I can tell you guys that I've..." <- We have placed at least a few hundred absolutely everywhere, there wont be a single person in whole country that hasnt seen them :) 17:42:22 Lithuania is absolutely plagued by the monero stickers 17:46:23 "jozsef: are you around to..." <- Sorry, I missed the meeting time. I cannot say too much more than I have already wrote here previously. On the technical side, I have tested the ip2 stream in the last couple of days a few times and while in the beginning it appears to be working pretty stable, eventually the buffer runs out and the stream stops. I'm playing the i2p stream using mplayer and with firefox too and the 17:46:23 buffer keeps at a steady 40% in mplayer in the beginning but it gets empty eventually. I think some tuning might be needed. But it would be good if other folks could test it with i2p -- maybe the problem is with my setup. Not sure. On the proposal itself, I think it is ultimately the content that will decide whether it turns out to be useful and popular. I think personally, I would probably listen to it if there were a good 17:46:23 selection of genre selections. 18:05:24 MajetsticBank: Do you use the RBF feature when you send bitcoin after an exchange (like if you sends the coin with a extremely low fee because the blockchain was fast for some random reason)? Then if it take too much time, increase the fee of that TX? Or the customer have to wait half a day or more for the constipator to purge again to receive his bitcoin? 18:42:49 "We have placed at least a few..." <- You guys are awesome 19:17:50 Hello guys, I missed the meeting! 19:17:50 To be honest I can’t understand how is the Cake Sponsor a problem to the proposal? I mean, I have proposed a job and the payment for it. I take that money so I can have more time to create Monero content, you can compare my work with other similar proposals and see the differences in the amount I.e how does it matter if you get even more videos ? 19:17:50 Any way I don’t have any problems to disclose that information… I will ask plowsof 19:58:29 Hey can anyone tell me what math formula the client software is using to sign a transaction. The inputs are the nonce, transaction fee, transaction size and private key, but how does it combine those to create the signed transaction hash? or put another way, How would I sign a transaction with just a paper, pen and calculator 20:29:19 deboowop: Look at _Zero to Monero 2.0_ and _Mastering Monero_ 20:34:58 https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/105oamh/try_out_the_atomic_swaps_gui_on_mainnet/
