<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Maybe a start sync from specified block height or date would be a better way to prioritize blocks that need to be downloaded first then go backwards and download less essential blocks later.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Or like a torrent how it downloads different parts at once for optimization

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Or

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> “.zip” blocks so the data is there but compressed but can be unzipped when more convenient.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> The syncing process as a whole may need improvement but I disagree with a skip sync feature but I do understand the reasoning for it as syncing can be inconvenient at times.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> However, I’m just pitching ideas for the dialogue to see what’s feasible, and what isn’t.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Sync from Bluetooth/Mesh networking, or Sync from USB plausible too?

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Synchronization via audio.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Have a local decoder which can be used to convert the audio to blockchain data.

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> I'm getting some strong Locha Mesh vibes here 😝

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> I forgot about that project but I’m glad to see XMR is going to be native 👀.

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Err...

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Check when the last commit was. CCS was funding just documentation, not implementation. It's... abandoned?

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> Yeah, seems like it.

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> I wonder why the domain would still be up though?

<j​ordan_sanchez:matrix.org> This seems like one of the main dudes that was running it.

<t​hemisplacedphilosopher:matrix.org> I see a philosophical paradox with crypto mining. Mining revenues should be accessible to all, and yet if you make it accessible to all, the ASICs take over and mining revenues are no longer accessible to all.

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> I would expect that, anyone who's into crypto mining, to be in possession of at least one CPU.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> there is revenue for all

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> you can make money with monero

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> the only limiting factor to profitability is the cost of power

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> theres no 20.000 USD barrier to entry unlike with bitcoin

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> So, if you live in your moms basement, getting power for free, and just found a AMD EPYC 7742 64-Core server under the Christmas tree, you can make a few bucks 😆

<t​hemisplacedphilosopher:matrix.org> Another paradox is that transparency is the antidote to corruption. If we opt for privacy, doesn't that promote corruption?

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> Or protects against it.

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> It works both ways.

<t​hemisplacedphilosopher:matrix.org> That's why it's a paradox. When there's a paradox is there any point in choosing one over the other?

<t​rasherdk:monero.social> You do you. I'm out of this bitch.

<e​laryan:hackliberty.org> Yes, there is. You must take the environment into consideration.

<e​laryan:hackliberty.org> In a purely friendly environment choosing full transparency might be perfectly fine.

<e​laryan:hackliberty.org> But in an adversarial environment not choosing privacy would be bad.

<e​laryan:hackliberty.org> We know that there's corruption in the world, and stupidity, and adversaries taking advantage of both corruption and stupidity. All of which could turn against us at any moment.

<e​laryan:hackliberty.org> Privacy protects you against all those risks. Better safe than sorry.

<v​ikrants:monero.social> HI Monero Community! I need your help for a Monero logo. There is a kuno to put the Monero logo a rally racecar in Oman. kuno.anne.media/fundraiser/qchr. Can someone modify the Monero logo to have "getmonero.org" at the bottom? Also another one for the side of the car with the logo and "getmonero.org" on the right of the logo. I will go and top off the kuno at the<clipped message>

<v​ikrants:monero.social> end of the day tomorrow if its not all funded.

<v​ikrants:monero.social> rant: Annoying that my profilepic doesn't update in this room. 😡

<k​4r4b3y:karapara.net> yeah, matrix works in mysterious ways.

<k​4r4b3y:karapara.net> I don't have a profile pic on the main monero room.

<v​ikrants:monero.social> Thanks. Can you send me highquality versions.

<v​ikrants:monero.social> vostoemisio has volunteered to do the monero logos for the racecar as well. :)

vikrants logo is included in the press kit, no idea how useful it is to you getmonero.org/press-kit

they are going the whole car, helmet, jacket etc

vikrants: if they are getting the car wrapped, you could probably do a fairly cool full wrap Monero design, if the wrapper gave vostoemisio wrap templates/diagrams to populate.

<v​ostoemisio:matrix.org> Yeah, we've have done pretty cool wraps in my normal agency

We should do some wrap templates and then offer the community to wrap their daily drivers (maybe even have a fund).

<r​brunner7:monero.social> Er ... my eyes bleed ... that's a completely wrong font for writing "GetMonero.org" together with the Monero logo. No respect anymore for "corporate identity"? :)

<r​brunner7:monero.social> From over in the Monero website room: archive.is/sn9qE archive.is/o/sn9qE/https://static.m…ont/MoneroSerif/MoneroGothic_v3.zip

<v​ostoemisio:matrix.org> We've sorted out a good version, np

Can we stop with the dropbox and gdrive links?

<p​olar9669:matrix.org> plowsof: is your onion node down ? can’t see it listed on monero.fail

<p​olar9669:matrix.org> Also ofrnxmr node seems removed

Yeuu its down

Mine is. Internet problemz

Plowsof's should be up xmrguide.org/remote_nodes

Thanks for asking polar9669, i can re-add them but it seems to be an issue with monero dot fails list lza_menace

<k​4r4b3y:karapara.net> Get a torrent for these files. And cross-seed on clearnet & I2P

<s​hallow:hackliberty.org> Is it just me or does the monero network feel really allow right now?

<e​ndor00:matrix.org> Just you

feel really allow

hmmm

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> rbrunner7 have you seen this moneromarket announcement? 2/3 multisig using monero-wallet-cli "The wallet will be created asynchronously over a 48 hour creation and funding time limit" reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/19ejgm…w_feature_released_on_monero_market

<s​ilverpill:poa.st> theprivacydad.com/how-can-i-use-monero-in-day-to-day-situations

<r​brunner7:monero.social> plowsof: Yeah, saw the announcement about that multisig support on MoneroMarket. I could not find any details however how it works, and how far support goes in addition to just making in 2/3 multisig in pure CLI, with MoneroMarket merely providing an address for example
