<r​4v3r23:monero.social> already mentioned it to him a while ago

<r​4v3r23:monero.social> jbermanhas it been fully reviewed? i know tobtoht was taking a look at it too before implementing in feather

<z​arter:matrix.org> Currently reading mastering monero. I am just wondering if this part is still dealt with the same way.

<z​arter:matrix.org> Do we still use CryrptoNote and tweak it every 6 months to stop ASICs miners or do we use a different technique.

<z​arter:matrix.org> Moreover, are they still implementing kovri or has it been discontinued?

<r​brunner7:monero.social> Nope, CryptoNight (not CryptoNote, that would be the privacy technology) is long gone, and with it the periodic changes of the PoW algo. For quite a while already it's RandomX all the way. And Kovri is dead.

<z​arter:matrix.org> Thank you for the clarification!

<z​arter:matrix.org> But why isn't kovri used? Do we use an alternative or something else?

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Zarter(Please ping me): Monero uses Dandelion++. It's a method of routing transactions through the network that is mathematically proven to make linking transactions to IP addresses difficult.

<z​arter:matrix.org> Will look in to it as well

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Here are the math proofs: moneroresearch.info/index.php?actio…n=resource_RESOURCEVIEW_CORE&id=122

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Zarter(Please ping me): The Dandelion++ designers thought it would be used for bitcoin, but bitcoin didn't implement it on a wide scale. Monero did.

<z​arter:matrix.org> Will try to read as much of it as I understand once I'm done with "Mastering Monero"

<r​ucknium:monero.social> There is an easier summary post on localmonero.co about Dandelion++

<r​ucknium:monero.social> The math in that paper ^ is not easy

<z​arter:matrix.org> Thank you, I found it

<z​arter:matrix.org> I've noticed that the issue is most often not the lack of math skills, however often the language barrier in math terms as well as lack of CS

Gentle reminder that we have an MPWG meeting in ~20 mins over in #monero-policy. All are welcome.

hello all. MPWG meeting time

whoops

meeting over in #monero-policy now

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Does anyone here have some arbitrum nova eth? I need to get rid of my moons

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Can I use arb eth on nova without bridging?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> matrix.monero.social/_matrix/media/…matrix.org/WdqHXrXdmLxnMjLyxlERPXqC

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> lol, great ecosystem

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> monero-project/monero-site #2154

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Question where the link or who is running this mattermost instance? I created one for monerokon to test.

Amazingly it's still running: mattermost.getmonero.org/monero/channels/monero

It once had more or less the same role that Matrix has today

Until it was more or less given up. One of the problems may sound surprisingly familiar: Constant problems with bridging to IRC ...

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> But it can use matterbridge

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Does that have issues?

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Also they have a plugin to matrix

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> I only created it cause i had a free vps and it was for monerokon to have better co-ordination in terms of project management

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Gonna test the bridges first too see if it works

<1​23bob123:matrix.org> Also can create kanban calender for all the monero related events, so people dont ask the same questions on when stuff is on.
