plowsof: kinda, I don't remember myself in detail the discussion, but I think it might have been a mix up of not claiming all my expenses for the C3 event (which was not that much) and requesting the over funding of Monero FM be applied to monerokon's ccs to meet a cancelation deadline for funding we set back then.

As much as I love the molly monero payments support idea, it is starting to look like a kovri money pit

Is kovri dead

I just donated to that ccs the other day

it has been for years

How much was 7000 xmr worth when it was originally funded

And if I finish kovri can I redeem

I’m currently working on a project coral reef redux ccs proposal. It’s going to be insane.

Look up date

I’m going straight to the streets of a dozen world cities, and I’m going to pay hookers and people who sell certain things to accept Monero for one year.

The last project coral reef was too high brow. I’m taking bringing it back to the people

ajs_[m]: ok. Please let us know if you are owed any expenses/reimbursement from Lisbon though, as that wouldn't be fair to you, and certainly wasn't intentional.

yes ajs_ i remember i calculated , and it was not a small amount because the ccs was priced at "55.34EUR/XMR"

e.g. the 50 eur a day for spends in xmr is now worth 4*

hotel costs ... maybe even payment for a sound engineer, i forget the details

this is from ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/36c3.html

(not lisbon, i was confused)

hm ignore^ there was a buffer added / looks like funds where to be paid in fiat to volunteers?

IF funds where paid to volunteers in XMR - then you are sitting on at least $1k already for the daily spends

but the abandoned outreach ccs seems less complicated to - declare as abandoned and pay for other "outreach" things out it

Sorry but fuck no

Monerokon turned down abd disrespected sponsors, then blew tens of thousands paying themselves to pay themselves

Like 300k project and cant even sell tix

Now trying to book extra vacations. What a joke.

no.

if monerokon needs more money, they can go undisrespect fsome sponsors

Not drain the fkn <s>yacht<\s> jet fund

s/<\/<//

ajs' trip and talk (im not sure on the full details, awaiting them) seems like a valid 'outreach' (the abandonned proposal celebrated its 4th birthday yesterday) - the events team do not let funds gather dust thats for sure

How?

Theyve gone out to party 5x

Spent 300k

And cant sell tix

Where us the outreach if you cant even sell out kon?

But can fund your shell companies

And spend 600$ every 3 days on hookers

And blow

(^ im exaggerating)

How much is the conference going to cost at this rate?

obviously

300k

Revenue like 25k?

Holy shit batman

We could clone plowsof for that

Could buy the whole yatcht and the event venue

Jet or gtfo

i agree with ajs. Its too late for unnecessary bs. Screw the meetup

Focus on.. kon

Meet at the conference

Literally

the main point of the meet up was for marketing the kon

how many days and how much money times yall spend in prage already, collectively

s/times//

s/times//, s/prage/prague/

i was there is April for 5 days, spent something like 600 eur

s/is/in/

anybody else go?

yeah Michael went too

This was the only trip, correct?

yeah

How many tix left to sell

i was in the area for another conference and took a train to Prague, so it was a relatively cheap trip

for PBW, i would need to fly there and hotels are expensive during this time

Yeah, and accomplish nothing tbh lol

i found a local to check out the stuff in storage and take pictures

so it is not really super important to make the trip

Ik. And thats why im 100% against siphoning more funds down the drain

226 GA

3 VIP

we are at about 140-160 right now depending on the number of volunteers that show up

there are at least several people who want ajs to make the trip - if a ccs idea is put up they can justify why - if no ccs idea is up its definitely not happening

There should have bern more than enough time and money available to properly market kon

outreach ccs aint going to kon bud

Kon ccs already is exceptiom upon exception / non-standard

Whether it be kons ability to move the goalpost (other ccs are far more rigid), or the handling of the funds, kons ccs is not standard

Which is the only reason kon is losing money

Bloating?

Curious how much monerotopia was

They havent had to do anything properly. Allowed to continually do unreasonable... (full message at <libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/do…9098a73a4b452d48a41faa57f98716e738e>)

Profit and lost statement required

chowbungaman: able to share ballpark how much gross was spent to organize topia?

DanIsnotthemanBr: "Are you winning today, son?"

Anyway.

Monerobull is going on Monerotalk/topia next week.

Somone should write talking points, or join bull

we have monthly moneromeets

Even people like mental outlaw shill xmr

- what talks are on

- vendors there

- plowsof doing monero rap

1. We dunno

2. Not sure

3. Hes sceduled for 40mins each night

Does ruck have a talk?

If yes, plowsof should voice it

With the ai voice from the topia talk i would have stood up and left 😅

plowsof: most likely i will not try to push for funding the trip. i am busy with normal life and planning stuff for monerokon

Maybe ruck can do a talk on the morbs and his article/ anaylsis

<ofrnxmr[m]> "Which is the only reason kon..." <- for the record we are not "losing money". we are still in the green. all invoices are approved in weekly meetings and are accounting books are open for public review

i am making adjustments to expectations/plans and to remain in budget

Lol

Ok

1) collecting ccs before picking location <<>> the locations were narrowed done to 2 and which one was dependent on the monies raised

s/are/our/

2) collecting ccs before sponsors <<>> so sponsors should commit before there is much in the way of organization and before we have any sense of the budget?

Nonsense

Yes

3) collecting ccs before ticket sales <<>> similar response as #2

Nioc

4) ticket sales before speakers <<>> people kept asking "wen tickets" and don't see how this is an issue

5) micromanaging meals <<>> huh

anyone wany to call? Lmao

putting the horse before the cart arguments

actually that was directed at you

But other way around

if you can do a better job, by all means let's see you plan 2024

2024 is my election year

Mayb 2025

ofrn 4 president \o/

ofrnxmr you should start gathering sponsors and start ticket sales now

pick a location and what not

super easy

Before 2023 commences? Are ya retarded?

I know youre trolling

But do a better job of trolling

Im busy

No time for ridiculous bullshit temper tantrums over hurt egos

ofrnxmr: just calling out on your provably false statements

without proof? Stop wasting my time

Go sell some tix

crunch time

" blew tens of thousands paying themselves to pay themselves ".... "300k project"

false and false

<ofrnxmr[m]> "(^ im exaggerating)" <- ^

alternative facts

more like guesstimates

to make a nonsense point

10k for merch pack

Nonsns point? Point us

Ticjet sales are tiny

9k

this info was in the ccs

And how much have you collected from ticjet sales

these are being giving away for free

check the invoice.monerokon.com

all info is there

do some basic research brah

Right. 10k giveaways for how much revenue? 160 tickets?

Total DR Funds as of May 4, 2023 €66'105.26

Cryptpad is so painful on phones

Easier if it was layouted out like revenue statement.

updating sheet to include paid invoices. i'll share the pdf here in a bit

right now, we are in the green ~10.5k eur

La Fabrika invoice #2 is not clear year

could be a little less

this is an estimate from last year's quote

it is a guesstimate as ofrnxmr would call it

"605.798 XMR worth of Bitcoin has been transformed into Monero" over the last 5 months nitter.it/UnstoppableSwap/status/1660260038718439430

~3.4 bitscorn

I think he meant to say 605 xmr have been transformed into digital energy
