<4​rkal:matrix.org> Any monero projects participating hacktoberfest?

<4​rkal:matrix.org> Any monero projects participating in hacktoberfest?

I think Monero is totally absent from Hacktoberfest (the Digitalocean one) 4rkal. And the Monero Community has probably abandoned all duties at FOSDEM and Congress as well.

There is just one week left before FOSDEM closes, and the announcement on Events last Saturday seemed convincing that we've abandoned the chance.

There may be a chance at participating in a BSides 2024, which has not yet closed their submission window. That would be nice to see.

<k​illercat103:matrix.org> Would it be an idea to have a feature in Monero like some form of contract to prevent scams and such?

<k​illercat103:matrix.org> Like the sender of the makes a request to the provider of some goods or service to make this contract and attaches a sum of Monero that should be sent.

<k​illercat103:matrix.org> When the provider accepts this contract the money is in a frozen state where no party owns it, the buyer cant use it and the seller has not gotten it but the contract is visible to both.

<k​illercat103:matrix.org> If the service or goods cant be provided the provider can cancel the contract and thus unfreezing the funds for further use.

<k​illercat103:matrix.org> But if it succeeds the buyer can complete the contract so the seller gets the Monero.

<k​illercat103:matrix.org> People could lose Monero still by bad actors but no party would be able to run of with the Monero

<i​nstrumental_only:matrix.org> What's the best BTC mixer right now?

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Killercat103: That's an escrow market with 2-of-3 multisignature transactions. Or a market without escrow with 2-of-2 multisig.

<e​scapethe3ra:matrix.org> Included that in a news report, let me know if I missed anything: monero.observer/4rkal-releases-moneroos-v0.3.7

<i​nstrumental_only:matrix.org> Is mempool still good to use for info on blockchain or is there a better one?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> for monero?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> i like bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-transactions.html#1y for general stuff

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> xmrchain.net as block explorer

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> and my own node dashboard

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> which looks a bit like this

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

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> (not live data)

<i​nstrumental_only:matrix.org> Thats a nice setup

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> I'm using github.com/lalanza808/docker-monero-node for this

<i​nstrumental_only:matrix.org> Yeah, I wanted the one for XMR. But also for BTC, I know mempool.space is used for BTC, but dont know if there is a better option.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> I don't think we have something this nice

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> The closes is txstreet

<i​nstrumental_only:matrix.org> Ok good to know
