<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Wait, what? Im not a sponsor?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> what did i just send the ceo 6k for?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> What did i sponsor, if not monerokon?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Oh. I sponsored monerodevices?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Tf?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Oh. I sponsored moneromerch?

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> about 60 shares of Vanguard FTSE All-World UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Yolo

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> i shall retire 6 months earlier, thank you

<c​trej:matrix.org> that'd be counter productive

<c​trej:matrix.org> Can't have volunteers retiring

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

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> wow never mind, ill retire a year earlier

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> at least if i move to some cheap country

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Monerobull takes ccs $, buts 6k worth of vanguard and takes off like grampy

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Buys*

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> (Maybe if i say his name enough times, he'll get mad at me and come back)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> I vote msvb for ceo and single signer wallet

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> I trust his track record

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Solid guy

<c​trej:matrix.org> yeah he has always maximized returns

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> tough choice between him and mj though. Msvb is more active and doesnt ragequit

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> So, catch me up. What are we bitching about this time?

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> #monero-events meta

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Youre my alt, how tf dont you know?!

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Other day, ofrnxmr woke up to a "credits" post from ajs, listing sponsors and volunteers of monerokon

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> It had 15k msvb listed as a volunteer

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Had firo who was robbed of 6k listed as "special thanks"

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Had doug and sunita under sponsors at one point

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And some weird line about "in appreciation of mooo" < terrible english

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Not sure wtf that means, but its listed in the middle of a list of handles

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Anyway

<c​trej:matrix.org> background: a CCS donor requested that instead of his name

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> So i can donate

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And ask

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Okay, just the usual fuck-ups then.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> not just

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Thats old news

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> New news is

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Ajs wants to run his own monerkon every year from prague

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> They want to stop using DR for their $

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And decided to use monerobull to register an LLC for them

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> DR?

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Hence the CEO :)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Dr is the company that held their euros

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> But now they want to be their own company

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> So, totally not a company, is going private.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> They just dont want to be responsible when shtf

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> So monerobull was chosen as a fall guy

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Yes

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> wanted to be a non profit last week

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> This week they want monerobull to be own their company, and have no power but all of the responsibility

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> ANDDD

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Graduating from fuck-ups to full blown shit-show.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> they have a ccs open to get us to pay to bury mb

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> ajs wants to run what he treats as _his_ monerkon, from the same location every year, working with _his_ partners in the area

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> _he_ should be responsible for his own business

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Its not "monerkon"

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> its "monerokon prague"

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> And if it IS monerkon, and not just ajs' prague conferences, than mb is also liable for any business organized under the monerkon banner

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Buncha dog shit if you ask me

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Is MB jumping in on that deal, or is he diving out to safety?

<c​trej:matrix.org> hopefully he's talking to a lawyer rn

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Hopefully 👍️

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> He has to kyc fornit, of course

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Not to mention monerosupplies

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Mining at `872 H/s` 😂

<c​trej:matrix.org> oh shit, forgot its run under the same username 💀

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Lolol only 300h/s on stagenet

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Is haveno using stagenet??

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> (aside from yours)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Ccs to form a company? leftover events $ pays for lawyer fees for mb consult first

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> A real consult, where lawyer goes over 2023 books, 2024 plans, roles of other people etc and advises mb accordingly as to whether to sign on the dotted line

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> even stuff like with "what happens if i, as a resident of xxx, am ceo allow a sponsor from a sanctioned or unknown country"

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> How does the formation of a private, for profit, company, fit into CCS funding? I have a hard time imagining how that would be formulated.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> It does bcuz monerkon is a cesspool

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> (it doesnt)

<c​trej:matrix.org> vastly cheaper then non profit, wallet is supposed to be multisig, and signers are imho good people

<c​trej:matrix.org> and monerokon kinda sorta needs a bank accounz

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Its a private company

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Monerobulls

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Bank accts

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> ?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Kinda sorta just need xmr

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> and if im ajs

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Id register my own damn llc

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> The venue is a multiyear thing

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> They better learn to convert xmr

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Honestly tru

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> We should look for a venue that accepts xmr

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> I think ajs said one of then accepts xmr or eth or some shit

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> sorry for the lang lolol

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> matrix.to/#/!gclBVGbCMQJYuMOAYr:mon…cial&via=matrix.org&via=libera.chat

<a​js_:matrix.org> Paralelní Polis does accept BTC/XMR as payment

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Yeah pp accepts xmr for venue rental

<a​js_:matrix.org> La Fabrika doesn't. They prefer payment by bank transfer

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> they have a few months to figure it out

<a​js_:matrix.org> also many suppliers only accept fiat

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Them too

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Or we just do conferences for the lols?

<a​js_:matrix.org> we also need an entity with VAT number to be invoiced

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> I vote ajs or msvb

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> #staffmembers

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> What kind of supplies, besides beer and barbeque do you need?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> 9k worth of msvb shirts and thongs

<a​js_:matrix.org> merch, furniture rentals, food trucks

<a​js_:matrix.org> DJs

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Food truck that wont acceptnzmr = rip

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Djs that wont accept xmr = rip

<a​js_:matrix.org> A/V company

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Rather

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Don't accept vendors who don't accept XMR. How hard can that be.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Wont adopt* xmr

<c​trej:matrix.org> also misc bits and pieces: name tags, wrist bands, scanners for tickets, and a bunch of other small items

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Not invited if you dont like xmr

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Or arent interested in learning about it

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Just here to make a quick buck off of people who do give a damn

<c​trej:matrix.org> difficult enough to organize as is

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> These things = sponsors can donate directly

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Like firo did for the badges

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Or liberty did for our coffee

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Those can be brought by staff

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Doesn't need a bank account

<a​js_:matrix.org> for low value items, yes, can be done by proxy in a sense

<a​js_:matrix.org> but for high value, it would need to be someone that has the liquidity to pay large orders/venue rental

<c​trej:matrix.org> Do they accept cash?

<c​trej:matrix.org> I know a guy who can swap like 200k

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Cake

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Lol

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Majestic

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Lol

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Cmon

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> No way majestic had a bank account outside the caymans lmao

<a​js_:matrix.org> even with payment by proxy or cash, the suppliers will want to issue an invoice and request contact and VAT info

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> No way majestic has a bank account outside the caymans lmao

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> ?

<a​js_:matrix.org> many of the sponsors paid us by bank transfer

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> If i buy something, i pay tax and walk away

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> So why not give em your own bank info? Or open your own company and do it? (Not monerobulls lolz)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> call it "Monerokon Prague" etc and you be the only person.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> we trust bf with the gf, no multisig. we can trust you to not misappropriate sponsor funds, cant we?

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> its much, much less money

The blind men and the elephant

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Or, the frog and the scorpion 😬

<4​rkal:monero.social> Trying to compile the latest monero version with gitian. Its been stuck at ```Running build script (log in var/build.log)```.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Been a while since i did the gitian build, but iirc it looks like its stalled but should be building the sw

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> its possible that the process takes over 12 hours , depends on hardware (and you are running in a VM)

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> a VM thats running a VM(docker)

<4​rkal:monero.social> Gonna leave it over night

<4​rkal:monero.social> Think something is happening tho

<4​rkal:monero.social> When I run htop I see quite a lot of processes related to it. Is probs running just extremely slowly
