01:46:53 <DanIsnotthemanBr> One of these is not like the other

06:19:42 <monerobull[m]> Can you make sure these go to in progress as soon as full? 
08:00:25 <binaryFate> Resyncing is slow, so I connected the ccs wallet to an external node for the time being
08:00:30 <binaryFate> so donations should now be correct
08:00:43 <binaryFate> luigi1111 ^
08:01:20 <ofrnxmr[m]> Looks good on my end 
08:01:20 <ofrnxmr[m]> https://ccs.getmonero.org/funding-required/
08:01:46 <ofrnxmr[m]> 9 more to go for tobby
10:21:47 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Wtf it went too funding
10:22:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> Of course Tobtoht did! I forgot to ping you for the vote
10:22:52 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Get the xmr and write 0 it
10:23:31 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Burn the xmr

16:23:06 <Torr> Nice
16:45:15 <sgp[m]> Does anyone else see that Majestic is blocking US IPs now? Or is that just me?
16:45:16 * sgp[m] uploaded an image: (160KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/magicgrants.org/bc5b4a35e17eefdc37af774a7e8314e87185160e/image.png >
16:48:40 <ofrnxmr[m]> Is that .sc?
16:49:20 <RavFX[m]> I expect that if they don't want to get there domain seized
16:50:16 <n1oc> Continued Feather Wallet development (3 months) is now fully funded! https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/tobtoht-feather-dev-2023-1.html
16:53:17 <hbs[m]> <sgp[m]> "Does anyone else see that..." <- their message should state they are blocking US IPs, I don't see how a non KYC service can block US residents
16:54:20 <RavFX[m]> A lot of exchanges that have no KYC simply block us IP to protect themself. They don't have KYC so there only way is to block US IP.
16:54:31 <xfedex[m]> MajesticBank works fine in EU tho
16:54:43 <xfedex[m]> while according to EU laws it should be requiring KYC
16:55:02 <RavFX[m]> If you are from US,
16:55:02 <RavFX[m]> Just use a VPN or trocador
16:55:02 <RavFX[m]> Or move to a free country
16:55:03 <xfedex[m]> anyway you can use https://trocador.i2p/ by Morpheus
16:55:25 <xfedex[m]> edit: http://trocador.i2p/ (not https)
16:55:25 <RavFX[m]> xfedex[m]: EU don't seize domain names, US do.
16:56:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> Can anyone just answer the question 
16:56:12 <RavFX[m]> That US IP blocking is just so they don't get there sites defaced by US "ICE"
16:56:37 <ofrnxmr[m]> Personally, im not seeing that and even tried using proton vpn with other servers
16:57:19 <xfedex[m]> RavFX[m]: Theoretically both could do that
16:57:27 <ofrnxmr[m]> Sounds like majestic is selectively blocking ip's (?) But id like someone else to confirm if possible 
16:57:48 <xfedex[m]> ping pong MajesticBank
16:57:55 <RavFX[m]> xfedex[m]: Yeah, but so far seized sites endup with the ICE emblem on them (at least the one I saw)
16:59:10 <xfedex[m]> which one? Blender.io?
16:59:10 <hbs[m]> Blocked at least one US IP from Mullvad
17:00:16 <plowsof11> but tor 
17:00:47 <nioc> plowsof11: CCS counter is working, take the day off :)
17:01:24 <nioc> somehow feather was not overfunded 
17:01:26 <plowsof11> hooray! thanks nioc 
17:02:04 <nioc> np, be fresh for Saturday  
17:02:10 <RavFX[m]> I assume he won't necessarily block know VPN IP in US.
17:02:10 <RavFX[m]> If you are US resident and use a VPN, you are very likely to be using a VPN outside of USA.
17:02:10 <RavFX[m]> If someone exit via a know US VPN, it is very likely that he is not from US, very low likehood of it being from a US resident so no need to block?
17:02:48 <RavFX[m]> A KYC-Free exchange I use do block Russia.
17:02:48 <RavFX[m]> But when I go there using a Russian VPN, it try to KYC me instead to confirm i'm not russian
17:11:46 <plowsof11> thanks again nioc, now we wait for luigi to tag the monero gui then everyone gets a new monero release 
17:11:55 <plowsof11> i must also shame everyone who is not on the gitian builds list

17:16:32 <RavFX[m]> ofrnxmr[m]: Obviously!
17:16:32 <RavFX[m]> I'm connecting with internet will a lot of various IP that are not mine, should be standard procedure
17:19:33 <RavFX[m]> I use to be on a discord server that have a rule like : Do not help US resident circumvent exchange that block US residents 😂
17:25:36 <luigi1111w> feather has been funded
17:26:02 <luigi1111w> I am late ofc, what I really meant is feather has been moved to wip
17:28:22 <nioc> w0w, such efficiency 
17:28:56 <plowsof11> late but still a podium finish, 1st place n1oc, 2nd nioc 3rd luigi1111w
17:29:56 <ofrnxmr[m]> I think nioc's cat was the one that told n1oc
17:30:03 <nioc> I was serious, talking about the move to wip  :)
17:30:51 <nioc> ofrnxmr[m]: hmmm
18:59:39 <moneraut[m]> Really interesting proposal about this movie Mark of Distinction and how Monero will become this money that that can be moved throughout human generations to give wealth/and freedom. Also really great to see these physical coins popping out again in a story. Anyway, nice proposal and maybe I will donate also some in the coming days.
19:01:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> You've seen the movie?
19:02:04 <moneraut[m]> ofrnxmr[m]:  Not yet, I need to make this piconero, but the story sound promising . 
19:02:31 <moneraut[m]> ofrnxmr[m]: U?
19:02:32 <ofrnxmr[m]> Nope
19:04:25 <moneraut[m]> Music, movies, art will make Monero culture stronger than ever.
19:04:34 <ofrnxmr[m]> You can request a viewing link if you need one so youre not spreading fake reviews
19:05:06 <jwinterm[m]> <sgp[m]> "image.png" <- I think they always did that if you tried to swap
19:05:20 <jwinterm[m]> but homepage loaded for me yesterday
19:05:35 <jwinterm[m]> and rn
19:07:01 <moneraut[m]> ofrnxmr[m]: What do you mean ? Where can I read more the sentiment of the community about this movie ?
19:09:25 <Rucknium[m]> Twitter thread on OSPEAD's origins: https://twitter.com/AnonShopApp/status/1628817742395756544
19:25:01 <ceetee[m]> <moneraut[m]> "What do you mean ? Where can I..." <- On the CCS proposal, there is a link in the first sentence It takes you right to gitlab and the discussion. Community was split about 50/50 whether it is a good idea or not.
19:25:01 <ceetee[m]> Now donors get to decided, and they should form their own opinion first.

19:27:28 <moneraut[m]> Thx gonna check it. 
19:29:54 <moneraut[m]> Much things to learn I need 😉
19:31:24 <ofrnxmr[m]> We need more proposals! 
19:33:55 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Css proposal: dan for RBA board member position
19:34:12 <ofrnxmr[m]> Milestone 0:? 
19:37:25 <moneraut[m]> <ofrnxmr[m]> "We need more proposals!..." <- Are there also events like (online) hackatons ? 
19:39:21 <ofrnxmr[m]> The closest would probably be bounties

19:44:37 <DanIsnotthemanBr> ?
19:44:40 <DanIsnotthemanBr> s/dirty/dirt/, s///
19:45:40 <ofrnxmr[m]> 0: bring in ofrnxmr
19:45:43 <ofrnxmr[m]> 1: let him loose
19:45:43 <DanIsnotthemanBr> Neg cat first
19:45:50 <DanIsnotthemanBr> The fall guy
19:46:30 <ofrnxmr[m]> 🥱 wake me up when you're serious 
19:48:02 <ceetee[m]> moneraut: a lot of work on Monero is done extremely thoughtful and thus slow. Many people do have projects that use Monero in some form, and publish their work on github or their own website. Doesn't even have to be code; research, marketing, art and anything else is appreciated to
19:49:23 <ceetee[m]> If you do publish something, make sure to include a donation address for tips
19:56:58 <moneraut[m]> <ceetee[m]> "moneraut: a lot of work on..." <- Thanks really awesome and I look forward to explore more in the Monero community/culture. 
20:13:05 <nioc> Sorry but Cat is nobody's fall guy 
20:13:40 <ofrnxmr[m]> 👍
22:46:49 <thatsinewave[m]> Hello, how can I buy Monero with classic money? I couldn't find any info besides going to some exchange site and praying that I won't get ignored or scammed.
22:46:49 <thatsinewave[m]> Or, possibly, is it saner by using another cryptocurrency as a middle man?
22:49:43 <thatsinewave[m]> (Not sure if this is the right room to ask in, it was the first to pop up in the room directory)
22:51:39 <ofrnxmr[m]> #monero:monero.social  is a better place to continue this 
22:52:31 <thatsinewave[m]> Ooh, I see, I wasn't sure and the description of the room didn't make it much clearer. Thank you for the information, I reposted in #monero:monero.social ^^
22:53:10 <ofrnxmr[m]> No problem
