13:29:26 <monerobull[m]> Where can I redeem
17:42:16 <DGoon[m]> Hi. I am doing some research into the monero funding culture. 
17:43:51 <DGoon[m]> * funding culture. Where can I find the history of ffs? I know fluffypony invented it, but is there any documentation or chat logs about its cration? All of the logs I can find on the get monero site that mention ffs go back to around 2016 ish

All of the logs I can find on the get monero site that mentions ffs go back to around 2016 ish. I also found this thread that sort hints at the ffs history: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/o9v6nm/statement_from_core_team_on_rehrar/. 
17:47:23 <plowsof11> geonic knows all about the FFS but uhm, 
17:48:27 <plowsof11> you mean these things here? https://forum.getmonero.org/22/completed-tasks
17:49:52 <plowsof11> https://github.com/monero-project/meta/blob/master/FFS , not sure about chatlogs 
17:50:09 <plowsof11> nioc 
17:51:08 <ofrnxmr[m]> fluffypony: 
17:51:18 <ofrnxmr[m]> around here, we dont hide
17:51:33 <ofrnxmr[m]> ask who you need to ask
17:51:43 <ofrnxmr[m]> dont have to be an outsider
17:53:34 <DGoon[m]>   That is exactly what I was looking for! I had found some logs here: https://www.getmonero.org/2020/07/19/monero-dev-meeting.html and I searched the github repo here: https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/search?o=asc&p=2&q=ffs&s=indexed but the logs only go back to around 2016ish? Thanks for the link
17:57:03 <DGoon[m]> ofrnxmr:  thanks for the rec
17:57:12 <DGoon[m]> . fluffypony  How did funding work for monero early on? I know that you and others got a team together and rewrote & analyzed the bytecoin/bitmonero codebase and did a bunch of other work. How was this work funded before the ffs was created?
17:58:05 <ofrnxmr[m]> and btw there is an mrl meeting about to end
18:07:27 <nioc> back in the old days work was not compensated and people paid for the expenses of infrastructure, such as they were at the time, out of pocket   
18:07:40 <nioc> there was an effort to get the community to donate to core and people would get different names for different donation levels, oh boy :D 
18:08:15 <nioc> to get the community involved as opposed to the just a few, the FFS was created   
18:09:23 <nioc> ^^ memories of a senile person 
18:11:56 <nioc> why did you wake me up plowsof11 ?
19:28:45 <dEBRUYNE> DGoon[m]: You may want to check the Bitcointalk Monero thread
19:29:01 <dEBRUYNE> It was one of the main places of activity for Monero
19:29:13 <dEBRUYNE> Before the meeting logs there was a different format, I don't remember the name exacty
19:29:16 <dEBRUYNE> exactly*
19:29:49 <dEBRUYNE> Monero Missives, found it

19:32:36 <DGoon[m]> dEBRUYNE:  thanks a lot. This is a treasure trove of interesting stuff. Moneros ticker used to be MRO .....
19:33:13 <dEBRUYNE> np
19:33:41 <DGoon[m]> dEBRUYNE:  You mean this bitcointalk thread right? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.0
19:34:09 <dEBRUYNE> Yes
19:34:20 <dEBRUYNE> There is also this one, but more price related -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.0
19:34:41 <luna24[m]> I’ll have to check those threads out later
19:34:45 <luna24[m]> Thanks for sharing homie
19:39:35 <dEBRUYNE> np
21:27:24 <midipoet> DGoon[m]: may i ask what the research is for?
21:49:16 <DGoon[m]> I was just working on a thread about how monero was able to fund all of its work with donations while most other coins needed a dev tax or premine etc. And how that leads to a much more decentralized coin not dominated by for profit companies. Id maybe tie this in to how this decentralization allows it to be adopted by people who need privacy the most such as the dark markets and north Korea. When most coins with a CEO talk down on
21:49:16 <DGoon[m]> those uses cases. It's just a draft so far so I'm not 100% sure yet. 
21:51:08 <DGoon[m]> I was also thinking about how someone should write about Moneros history also. There is some stuff about the bytecoin/bitmonero transition, but it's been almost ten years and I haven't find a good overview of Moneros history. Just an idea.

22:00:35 <plowsof11> nioc sorry to wake you again, but do you have any involvement in with those wine bottles behind flufflypony in the early history video above
23:18:12 <luna24[m]> <DGoon[m]> "I was also thinking about how..." <- Honestly I’d love to read a research paper that goes the entire timeline of monero including it’s birth. The white papers should 100% be a source as well though

23:33:41 <plowsof11> also this from johnr365 https://resilience365.com/monero-timeline/
