Very nice Plowsof!! 15:05:09 not sure sideshift works in monerujo, does it ? since it's xmr -> other coins 15:05:53 anhdres: 15:05:53 >for the time being, sideshift service in the app seems to be working, but it's a hit or miss. we'll still working on a replacement asap 15:06:10 its basically 'over' , hello majesticbank 15:06:25 Whenever it's a good time to focus on MoneroKon, let me know so that I can announce the dates for MoneroKon 2024 please. 15:07:05 seems like a community highlight, go ahead msvb-lab! 15:07:17 Thanks plowsof11. 15:07:40 The Monero Konferenco 2024 will take place in Prague, at La Fabrika and Paralelni Polis on 7-9 June 2024. 15:07:54 That is the last weekend after the Prague Blockchain Week event. 15:08:11 We have three days at the same venue that we rented this year for 2023. 15:08:11 Hello sorry I'm late 15:08:24 So welcome to make your plans early, thanks dankon. 15:08:50 thanks for the heads up! 15:08:53 MajesticBank: Anhdres has commented in the Monero group in Spanish that apparently they have removed it from their official website but it still works in the app. They have tested it and it gives error. I have not tried it today 15:08:56 You're welcome. 15:09:44 I've noticed tho monerujo wasn't listed on their site so far, or just removed also 15:09:57 while there are some other wallets listed on sideshift website 15:10:46 also reg the side shift issue: [a pull request to replace sideshift with majesticbank feedback](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/2183#pullrequestreview-1518711403) 15:10:46 which needs input from the community, "MB to be listed as a swapper on getmonero" 15:12:51 drop feedback in the issue / here , wherever - i predict there will be alot of discussion - perhaps out-sourcing the problem and listing kycnot.me instead could be an option (maintaining the list of swappers is annoying) 15:13:43 [Kukoin to require KYC after 15th July](https://www.coindesk.com/business/2023/06/28/crypto-exchange-kucoin-to-introduce-mandatory-id-checks-next-month/) 15:14:04 This discussion could be left to the end xD if we start we don't finish. 15:14:11 😀 15:14:12 plowsof11: > <@plowsof:matrix.org> also reg the side shift issue: [a pull request to replace sideshift with majesticbank feedback](https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/2183#pullrequestreview-1518711403) 15:14:12 > which needs input from the community, "MB to be listed as a swapper on getmonero" 15:14:12 no 15:15:19 the monero policy / panel presentation at monerokon was a good watch - the monero policy team are starting up their meetings again. next meeting on the 11th July https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/858 15:15:57 Intercambio was redirecting to the UN. 15:15:57 no explanation, no listing 15:16:02 shout out to tobtoht for this [Bootstrappable Builds](https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/8929) pull request 15:17:21 intercambio was thing with vps provider, orangefren can explain better, it was fixed within few hours 15:17:45 Vps provider redirected to UN?

Newbies are only allowed 3 months xD 15:33:13 I don't think I'll be able to complete the CCS in three months/ 15:33:16 s///./ 15:33:21 * I don't think I'll be able to complete the CCS proposal in three months. 15:34:15 its not a technical problem that needs to be solved 'now' rather ... get people using the site, and show me the complaints about it "sucking" from numerous users and show some cool things that where done via bitejo marketplace to generate hype in 'making it great' 15:35:36 recanman[m]: What can be achieved in 3 months? 15:36:00 In three months, I can finish one or two services. 15:36:40 as the proposal is written currently, im voting close but its worth giving more time to see if it changes in 2~ weeks 15:37:11 leave it open for more discussion 15:37:43 I am neutral on this proposal. I agree that bootstrapping (marketing, good administration) is much much more important, but I'm not against donors funding this development work if they want to. 15:37:52 you should read the book The cold start problem. can be found on libgen 15:38:14 the propsal before my eyes right now: close 15:38:41 I am really interested, but as MB mentions, there are other similar services. If we could just put it all together in one development and make the most of it, it would be great. 15:38:52 That is the plan. 15:39:56 needs more discussion / leave open is the majority ? (remember that core will probably not want a marketplace on the ccs, but i have not asked) 15:40:16 shall we move on? 15:40:23 Sorry guys 15:40:41 I had a comment on that 15:41:02 45xmr and drop jobs part 15:41:31 Dropping jobs permanently? 15:41:31 To be super honest right now I'm thinking about closing. 15:41:31 I know the proposal has been modified quite a bit and it's interesting, but I still think something doesn't add up. Maybe the amount? 15:41:45 So basically rewrite and maintain backend fir 2 yrs 15:41:46 Is it too much, or too little? 15:42:29 with 20 mins left and 3 ideas to discuss, we must leave it open until next meeting as discussion / changes is ongoing 15:42:29 ofrnxmr[m]: Oh, this could be intresting 15:42:46 go next 15:42:48 plowsof11: yep 15:42:52 c.

I may have a bias since I am self-taught. 15:52:54 That they learned by copy paste from chatgpt 15:52:59 Notice the "and" 15:53:04 Oh, oops 15:53:16 > Notice the "and" 15:53:16 Thank you 15:53:19 s/// 15:53:25 * > Notice the "and" 15:53:25 Thank you 15:53:25 would you as a business, trust them? 15:53:45 or a customer, to protect your hot wallet keys 15:53:55 and not send an incorrect amount if soemthing wrong happens 15:54:08 Self taught could be "signed up for online courses". But i think plowsof isnreferring to quality of code 15:54:43 yes. koe is self taught for c++ 15:54:44 ofrnxmr[m]: I don't agree with that. I don't want to deviate the discussion, but self-taught usually means tinkering until you form a strong basis of concepts, then learning through documentation. 15:55:08 I've never signed up for a computer science course and I am self-taught. Maybe that is irrelevant. 15:55:09 early on in their journey* if i can add that then 15:55:46 In that sense, maybe a CCS would be a good idea; if it is done properly, then I am all for it. 15:56:17 closing xmr business wallet 15:56:34 there was no chance for msvb-lab to comment on their ccs which we voted to close 15:56:39 Maybe this is too big of an idea, but why not implement recurring payments in the monero-wallet-gui? 15:56:48 plowsof11: Close it 15:56:48 if they wish to, please do 15:56:51 Maybe it has never come up or has been denied, I would like to know. 15:56:58 No problem, I'll remove Monero.

Monero subscriptions wallet requires it to be open. 16:01:11 plowsof11: I'm on phone so I rather not describe it all, but all please glance through the script and thumbs up or down 16:01:11 i cant subscribe to anything unless my hot keys are in some custodial service 16:02:23 script is a +1 from me 16:02:38 Recurring payments are defined to an address, and the wallet will try every set amount of time to make a payment to the address. Say it is closed and then opened, if the time has passed, it will send it. 16:02:41 vostoemisio[m]: +1 16:03:31 havent read it yet. Thanks 16:04:19 subscribe in the sense of how my fiat payments are handled , automated without any input from myself - for this to happen on monero - hot keys have to be on 'an internet connected device / running 24/7' this is the "custodial service" i mention , am i wrong? 16:04:24 plowsof11: I think the only way subscriptions in monero make sense is a long payment cycle (months or years) and then revoke access to the respective resource when the subscription expires. I built a tool for that ... https://monerochan.cash/tools 16:05:28 shorter payment cycles like on the order of days or weeks are too cumbersome for consumers ... that would be more appropriately called payables or payroll 16:05:51 plowsof11: You are not wrong, but doesn't have to be 24/7. 16:05:59 spirobel[m]: This is what I was thinking of. 16:06:32 Cronjob 16:06:33 * thinking of, but integrated in the monero-wallet-gui., * .

The use case is too different from a typical wallet user. Think of a company that needs to handle payroll and payables for suppliers etc. It is more erp than wallet. There is specialize software for this. Some companies also offer this as a service. They sometimes have money transmitter licenses. So Monero could be a 16:13:26 replacement for those. But this would only make sense if a monero economy / supply chain existed. (which is currently not the case, it is a chicken and egg problem / network cold start problem) 16:13:32 https://ccs.getmonero.org/funding-required/ 16:13:47 spirobel[m]: Good point 16:14:03 CCS for monero-subscriptions-wallet or a new software should be done though 16:14:04 s/specialize/specialized/ 16:14:32 To be honest, I will probably make a CCS for that if my current one gets killed. 16:14:58 another issue: rottenwheel (current editor of https://revuo-xmr.com/ wishes to be unbanned from this and other rooms) 16:15:01 recanman[m]: you should read the book "the cold start problem" 16:15:10 plowsof11: What did rottenwheel do? 16:15:49 spirobel[m]: I will get the book today.

So we need to think about how we can change that. You can find the book for free on libgen. It can help to better understand the challenge you try to solve with your ccs. 16:21:42 obviously not a real threat but fucking petty behaviour 16:21:48 plowsof11: yes just unban him. we dont need to do a tribunal 16:21:50 +1 on giving rotten another chance 16:22:19 the people have spoken 16:22:21 He contributes selflessly 16:22:53 plowsof11: are monerologs kept for 2-3 years? 16:22:56 alright enough the people have spoken bring him back 16:23:01 no need to overdo it lol 16:23:05 "the people" lmao 16:23:16 racist 16:23:16 spirobel[m]: Unfortunately, I don't have a strong-enough understanding of cryptography in order to be able to contribute to the Monero project.

Currently AFK 17:29:51 personai, i am still not entirely certain as to whether ofrnxmr[m] is not just an alt of rotten. if we unban rotten, we might just end up doubling the fun/obtuseness (whatever the perspective is). 17:30:50 Or xeagu. It could be one person. 17:31:22 +1 17:32:33 also, re the DefCon CCS, i understand the hesitation to spend on badges, but historically we would have spent quite a bit on them for DefCon events. while the benefit is not immediately quantifiable, they definitely attract interest, and are still probably the most interesting/valuable swag that Monero has ever given away as outreach/marketing. 17:33:03 msvb-lab: i have met both xeagu and rotten in person, and they are definitely not the same person 17:33:06 * plowsof11 uploaded an image: (54KiB) < https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/v3/download/matrix.org/aAoSvgixMAFzCUMXVftNaXXB/Screenshot%20from%202023-07-08%2018-32-50.png > 17:36:11 the defcon ccs was rejected last year https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/326 17:38:00 and core request that the proposer give updates on their uncompleted FFS proposal each time they make a ccs proposal https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/397#note_21796 17:57:20 I don't know too much about the FFS, to be honest. I do know that i miss the DefCon presence though. Perhaps we should focus more on trying to improve that somehow (with or without badges), or even our presence at something like C3. Monero being represented at genuine hacker events is relatively important as an outreach venture (imo), and has been lacking recently. 18:06:41 "I don't know too much about..." <- even just attending is useful. There is so much to be learned about how an organization / community functions. Especially at the after parties when people get drunk 🍻 18:08:38 pre registration tickets for defcon 31 where up for $460 but i cant find the page atm 18:13:09 plowsof11: taiwan dollars or us dollars? 😆 18:14:11 so for the price of two tickets we could purchase a sponsorship tier of this conference for example: https://coscup.org/2023/en/sponsorship 18:14:51 (just googled it no idea if it is any good, just to see what local conference here cost) 18:17:24 a portion of the defcon fanbase are not happy with the price hikes of course 18:19:37 Most people (managers, staff, goons, and villages) are quite happy when we deny Monero participation at Defcon. The entrance prices are quite high as well, but we should push 30K elite hackers attending this year. 18:19:38 It will be a big one, and even better that we are supposed to focus on family friendly content. 18:20:46 You can buy a car for 30k 18:20:51 With a lot of mini eight year old hackers around, so they will get served well and become the next generation of security developers. 18:20:53 Jesus 18:21:02 i think 30k people 18:21:11 Not money DandarkIsnotthe, 30K people visiting. 18:21:19 The money is in the millions. 18:21:58 Probably fifteen to twenty million this year. 18:22:28 $29600= Total production cost for serving at Defcon 18:37:35 "pre registration tickets for..." <- It's $440 if you pay in cash. The $460 prereg closed last week and the $20 was for the Square processing fees and such 18:40:11 why dont we attend different conferences? hackerman seems to be naturally interested in monero. No need to further entice him. 19:51:02 "I do have to personally question..." <- Alright, at a system that is conducive to typing. Let's start with a quick overview of examples of why he was banned. Long story short, some of the reasons he was banned are, but are not limited to:... (full message at ) 19:51:15 When he pressed mods to be unbanned in early 2022, he was asked if he could follow LiberaChat's ToS. He said no, and even decided to say "Fuck Off" to LiberaChat's ToS publicly (https://web.archive.org/web/20220115110342/https://twitter.com/rottenwheel/status/1482307482060046338) 19:51:49 You will notice a general trend of harassment and racist rhetoric across several facets of the Monero community. So... should the ban be lifted? Has he truly changed from 2022's stance, 'screw LiberaChat's ToS', and learned his lessons that hateful rhetoric violates the LiberaChat's ToS? I would say no based on a quick scan of his other profiles. For context, the first reply on May 24th, 2023, "R", is him completing a racist slur: 19:51:50 https://web.archive.org/web/20230525195517/https://twitter.com/rottenwheel1/with_replies 19:53:24 Now... if MoneroEsp has lifted his ban and he hasn't engaged in the kinds of behavior that got him banned there I could see a reason for the ban being lifted here. I'm not a MoneroEsp mod so I can't speak to his current standing there. If the MoneroEsp ban still stands I see no reason why it should be lifted elsewhere 19:58:01 I have nothing personal against the guy, even let him sleep at my place for defcon for free in 2019. But on this particular point I think the evidence suggests an unban is the best move here 20:00:19 s/is the/isn't the 20:08:16 "Now... if MoneroEsp has lifted..." <- okay, thank you 21:37:39 "Alright, at a system that is..." <- > <@xmrscott:monero.social> Alright, at a system that is conducive to typing. Let's start with a quick overview of examples of why he was banned. Long story short, some of the reasons he was banned are, but are not limited to:... (full message at ) 21:38:34 * wow looks like he need to get a life. i knew he had small-dick syndrome but this is just sad 21:45:07 Sure learnt his lesson. You had a dot point of offences.  21:45:08 s/./…../ 21:56:08 [plowsof]() in the defcon proposal you said something about an unfinished css? 21:56:39 yes, Kastelllo 21:58:41 iirc this one https://forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progress/90126/advancing-monero-hardware-wallet 22:00:53 Oh yeah 22:00:59 Purgatory  22:02:29 8xmr 22:02:29 DefCon and other promotions⁴ 22:02:44 And now 30k to do that 22:07:47 last year justin asked/suggested a more cost effective solution (budget of around 5k) for defcon 30, and now the same advice for defcon 31 22:11:49 Ledger has long memory  22:12:40 Or deja vu  22:25:34 "i am ok with unbanning sgp..." <- Lecture for what? 22:26:35 Can we invite a lot of -pools and some users here as well? People say cancelable stuff all the time. He knows the rules. Ban him again if he breaks em 22:26:59 Invite to this lecture* 22:30:08 Ive been threatened, and nobody did anything and i wasnt even given an apology 22:30:19 The apology was "i dont need a gun" 22:31:40 ofrnxmr[m]: Suck it up princess! 22:31:56 ew 22:33:05 But yeah. What ive seen from rotten is far weaker than most of what i see on a regular basis 22:40:43 "But yeah. What ive seen from..." <- like a chichuachua 22:49:29 permabans are also weak sauce 22:51:37 24/25 needed one 22:52:01 But he'd just dm ya instead 23:06:18 lecture slide 2: Do not be like n*ptha! 23:13:18 I would also like the return of revuo released to be posted to @monero twitter 23:13:50 Observer is down for the time being (get well soon escapethe3ra: ) 23:30:36 disagree - @monero should be as irrelevant as possible 23:31:22 no one speaks for "monero" 23:31:56 I do. 23:32:05 But the only thing I say for it is: "Monero" 23:32:11 k 23:32:31 what about "xmr"? 23:32:48 But fr I've always been a bit uncomfortable with the twitter yeah. 23:33:13 I am but if we dont keep it, someone else will 23:33:19 And its importsnt for releases 23:33:27 i remember once when some of pissed/drunk and was trolling 23:33:29 it should be seen as something to be "accepted" by, ie getting tweeted/retweeted by @monero 23:33:29 * i remember once when someone one was pissed/drunk and was trolling 23:33:34 ofrnxmr[m]: This was what ultimately led me to shut my mouth about it yeah. 23:33:36 I dont like that the dms are unknown 23:33:44 ofrnxmr[m]: i dont mean give it away. sell it to vik for 400k 23:34:03 its weird there is no fediverse account 23:34:07 yeah, info purely about the project. no culture/community stuff 23:34:18 releases/bugs/announcements from core 23:34:28 to swap with monero.com domain 23:34:33 s/to/do/ 23:34:35 Ofrnxmrs ccs 23:34:41 neg 23:34:45 css holiday fund 23:34:58 Geonics movie 23:35:33 its the same with wallets listed on getmonero/reddit 23:35:45 either list them all, or only the official ones 23:35:49 neg thats css gofundme 23:35:51 picking and choosing is lame 23:36:10 r4v3r23[m]: Thats why dms are important too. Should be an autoresponder telling people to go to Monero and Monero Support or the same on reddirmt etc 23:36:10 problem is you list the wrong one and something happens 23:36:16 plowsof gets sued 23:36:24 r4v3r23[m]: Speaking of, Monero doesn't crash on Stack iOS anymore so I should see about finally getting on there. 23:36:44 never crashed for me 23:36:50 on duo tho 23:36:51 only official ones should be listed 23:37:08 even that last update allows for self signed nodes 23:37:11 It would for some iOS users. Led me to hold off on asking for the PR to be merged. 23:37:55 r4v3r23[m]: Official ones being the GUi? 23:38:01 CLI/GUI 23:38:13 so how do people know the other ones 23:38:36 Yeah. I can see the argument behind core stewarded only 23:38:45 advertsing 23:38:48 twitter 23:38:53 self promotion 23:38:54 word of mouth 23:39:00 its not monero projects job 23:39:09 sounds like nord vpn marketing 23:39:14 It's really a question of whether getmonero is an all-encompassing gateway to all "trusted" things Monero (for some definition of trusted) 23:39:29 "trusted" is tricky 23:39:36 Or if it should be core stewarded stuff to minimize COI and stuff. 23:39:40 wallets shouldnt need cores "approval" 23:39:45 community trusted 23:39:50 Right 23:40:03 DanrdarkIsnotthe: As measured by? 23:40:03 "the community" isnt a static consensus 23:40:09 different wallets for different folks 23:40:15 look how many times i see whats the best wallet to use 23:40:20 scams should be called out for sure 23:40:31 "its weird there is no fediverse..." <- There is, but inactive ATM. It's just in the process of being moved. Im in favor of Clackey over Mastodon, but I'm waiting for impending v14 release before making the last move and making active 23:41:24 DanrdarkIsnotthe: Right but the responses are opinions. Which is how it should be, no? 23:41:27 DiegoSalazar[m]: me 23:41:31 I go back and forth on this 23:42:09 community consensus i guess, otherwise no one will be using a wallet 23:42:22 use this one, no use this one 23:42:27 confuses people 23:42:35 id like to see all "official" monero website/twitter/social media be stripped of anything that isnt core-related 23:42:54 who runs @monero anyway? 23:43:05 please remove info with ledger and trezor compatibility ? 23:43:19 no one needs consensus 23:43:22 r4v3r23[m]: not core i dont think 23:43:45 that idea lets big compnaies buy and pay for "consensus" 23:43:48 DanrdarkIsnotthe: When I worked for them core had access. But didn't do day to day things. 23:43:58 monero consensus is sponsored by ..... 23:43:59 i thought it was sgp 23:44:05 But that was many moons ago. 23:44:20 monero moons 23:44:33 r4v3r23[m]: css holiday fund 23:44:45 DanrdarkIsnotthe: there should be a clear process for auditing wallets 23:44:45 DanrdarkIsnotthe: thats an issue. plowsof? 23:44:47 core is super intransparent 23:44:48 r4v3r23[m]: dont see it as any more legitimate than "non core" 23:45:20 translucent 23:45:40 opaque 23:46:26 so no source of truth then? 23:46:32 processes need to be transparent and clearly defined to be legitimate 23:46:35 lets use elite wallet seems legit 23:46:37 i see no reason why diegos understanding of things isnt correct today 23:47:00 who runs the twitter 23:47:40 several people have access , off the top of my head sgp has done some tweets 23:47:57 Core has it but they don't do any daily stuff there 23:48:09 He never tweets about Stack Wallet 🤔 23:48:13 we even have #monero-twitter:monero.social where e,g, monerokon organisers have requested for sgp to make a twoot 23:48:45 DanrdarkIsnotthe: the fed is more transparent than Monero core. You get published meeting minutes and the rules and processes are clear. It is clear how decisions get made and by whom. Dont see that at all with "monero core". 23:48:48 sgp[m]: Does core do daily stuff anywhere? :D 23:48:49 I have access to post, as does at least 1 other person people would recognize, but they don't talk about it for whatever reason. Not my call 23:49:11 DiegoSalazar[m]: youre competition. clear conflict of interest. which is exactly my point 23:49:20 the twitter and anything official should be neutral 23:49:24 pwnd 23:49:55 thats like when people push for a css proposal and dont disclosed conflicts of interest 23:50:13 like actually working on it and getting paid from it 23:50:54 shady shit. as usual 23:51:12 The policy has been so far to promote various things like unofficial wallets (or anything else that is a part of the Monero community) on a bit of a rotation, and yes stack is most definitely overdue for something 23:51:41 how about no third-party policy 23:51:55 i assume there is a pr created to add wallets to getmonero? 23:51:58 But now crashes are gone so... wen 👀 23:52:12 r4v3r23[m]: Fwiw, that's why I made the matrix room, so people could ping me to remind me to post, since I don't pay much attention to that account 23:52:25 shouldnt be dependent on you 23:52:33 r4v3r23[m]: Oof. Before I ever get a turn. 23:52:36 oh yes Diego Salazar the PR to add stack on -site was closed iirc , i assume a re-open if you think its 'ready' 23:52:37 it should be irrelevant expect for most important updates 23:52:49 Technically it's not, I was just the only one willing to post occasionally for a while 23:52:49 create a monero sommunity/social handle for the oether shit 23:53:02 r4v3r23[m]: This is kind of difficult though because who else volunteers to do this stuff? 23:53:11 Fwiw, was it really "shady" that the account was used to promote all the live MoneroKon content? 23:53:24 Or push people to monero.town, the most recent tweet there 23:53:39 DiegoSalazar[m]: not much of a job to put only the most important updates out 23:53:44 so who here has a stake in sdk and hasnt disclosed it??????????????????????? 23:53:44 i have not seen any complaints about @monero , only the drunk midnight tweets that one time 23:54:17 plowsof11: Oh it got closed? 23:55:20 The Twitter is a vehicle to promote Monero. That's the main goal. It's never going to be a vehicle for purist tests. It's.... TWITTER. Not Mastodon, not Matrix, not privacy related at all. Etc 23:55:25 DanrdarkIsnotthe: wut 23:55:30 D: 23:55:50 Sdk? 23:56:59 wallet sdk 23:57:21 sgp[m]: you have ppl in an uproar whether or not a newletter or project gets rewtweeted by that account. it has too much influence, and needs to be more netural 23:57:23 The molly thing? 23:57:29 Unfortunately there needs to be a but of political will here to make such a sweeping change on core stewarded platforms. 23:57:48 Bit* 23:57:57 less is more 23:58:11 DanrdarkIsnotthe: words. use them 23:58:15 Coinbase could announce Monero support and people would be mad if I RTd it. It's what it is 23:58:26 so DONT 23:58:36 Nah, not your call 23:58:39 Retweet it 23:58:44 shouldnt be yours either 23:58:48 But dont NOT tweet revuo 23:58:58 Im quite sure coinbase is worse than rotten 23:58:58 yes, DONT teweet revuo 23:59:04 or anythign else non core related 23:59:15 Well then you talk to core and get me removed and you added, under the goals of killing the account. That's good for Monero exposure, definitely 23:59:19 r4v3r23[m]: Shoulda made it first 23:59:36 sgp[m]: youre missing the point... no one should be added 23:59:37 Who cares, you can create an alternative Monero Community Twitter 23:59:57 louissignet[m]: exactly
