"I don't understand why Edward Snowden doesn't like monero" < bcuz hes a zcash trusted setup signer

So much offtopic, so little time, amirite

yes I don't know who had the glory Idea that a day has only 24 hours, why not metric 100 hours, would lead to so lesss stress....

<a​mmortel:monero.social> Hello

<a​mmortel:monero.social> What's the best programming language to work around monero?

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> C++ if you want to work on core.

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> Depends on what you want to focus on, app development, core development, libraries development, payment processors development, your mom development...

<a​mmortel:monero.social> Thanks

<a​mmortel:monero.social> Is Woodser trustworthy?

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> I don't see why he wouldn't be.

<h​avenouser:monero.social> in mom development?

<a​mmortel:monero.social> Because noone is

<r​ottenwheel:kernal.eu> 't was a joke, c'mon man!

<h​avenouser:monero.social> everybody should invest a decent amount of time into mom development

<a​mmortel:monero.social> 😂

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> Damn right he is, he's the main developer of haveno dex

<3​21bob321:monero.social> where do i start with this

<a​mmortel:monero.social> I actually wanted to know a bit about Who is the guy behind the git repos. I always ask questions in a vague way

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> i think he wants to retain his anonymity, he doesnt seem open about it

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> what matters is the work he's doing, not who he is

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> i think he wants to retain his anonymity, he doesnt seem open about it, but i could be wrong

<a​mmortel:monero.social> Both are intrinsically combined

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> nope. it's not uncommon here to have developers seeking to keep their anonymity

<n​ihilist:m.datura.network> given the whole context of developers being prosecuted as an attack on free speech

<a​mmortel:monero.social> 👍

<r​brunner7:monero.social> Even more so if you write software that has anything to do, in a broad sense, with "money transfer" (that some governments think is a "no go" without proper license) and possibly facilitates "money laundering" (where again it seems in some places almost any software that transfers "value" somehow can get into the crosshairs).

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> Exchanging my video game cards on a Forum? How dare you!

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> I'm sure it's money laundering

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> woodser is a hero

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Like mariah carey

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> worked on haveno for years and still does and he doesnt even make any money form it

<3​21bob321:monero.social> When a hero comes along

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> worked on haveno for years and still does and he doesnt even make any money from it

<3​21bob321:monero.social> With the strength to carry on

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> woodser: haveno maintenance ccs wen?

<3​21bob321:monero.social> I though it was going to run its on ccs

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Thought*

<a​remor:matrix.org> Urgent- x.com/monericaproject/status/1816494898448884187

<a​remor:matrix.org> No one why this person hasn’t put up a CCS, unless I missed it

<a​remor:matrix.org> x.com/krypricz/status/1816504686402322528

<a​remor:matrix.org> Clone the repo for now I guess until they find the simple solution

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> becasue its a for-profit site

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

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> holy shit guys is it real

<a​remor:matrix.org> Define “it”

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> whatever he found

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> is it real? it sounds scary 👀

<a​mmortel:monero.social> It's a good phishing try

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> eh, its alright

<p​lainred:matrix.org> Hey if anyone is interested, we have 60 members in our Monero signal group at the moment

<p​lainred:matrix.org> Feel free to join using the link

300 in simplex group, find it in the directory

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> just sayin there is a bridge for signal<->Matrix

Signal blocked me for using tor

elucidator iirc was working on a bridge for simplex <> matrix, but idk what happened

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> its working but its single threaded, and *very ugly* he said

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> they*

huuuuh :>

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Brdiges breaks e2ee

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> oh no. Our super secret workgroup meeting will probably leak

<j​charlesnorris:matrix.org> I want to start a rotating savings account (ROSCA) with some friends online. We are looking into using Monero. Where should I start? I have no history with crypto.

<j​charlesnorris:matrix.org> Thank you for your help.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> jcharlesnorris: Do you want to know the basics of how to use Monero? Each ROSCA member would create their own wallet. They would have to acquire Monero somehow (the method would depend on the country that people are in, mostly). Then in a ROSCA round, each member would send the Monero coins (abbreviated XMR) by typing or copy-pasting the address of the wallet of the ROSCA member w<clipped message>

<r​ucknium:monero.social> ho would receive it.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> jcharlesnorris: This may be a good starting place: monero.garden/1-manual-for-users/get_started

synteticbird: "he" is the correct one since I'm a single person :) yeah my simplex bridge is for simplex<->irc, not matrix but it works when a matrix bridge is already in the irc room.

ofrnxmr: like I mentioned, it's simplex-to-irc not matrix unless you add matrix2051 bridge to the irc bot that does the relaying.

Simplex <>irc<>matrix :D

Is the bot already working?

The bridge*

Yeah it's running in #monero-pt since last Nov

Named "slingshot"

You know, since it throws the message from one side to the other.

Since my other bot "akio" parses all the bridge messages for commands, you can see somebody doing a price query from telegram bridge and you can read the result from your simplex connection.

It specifically parses bridge user messages to throw the nickname part and get the command and run it.

Usually bridge messages add the username to the start, before any command/message content.

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> whatsapp bridge when ?

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> i'm sure there must be a lot of monero folks on whatsapp out there /s

<f​rog_legs:matrix.org> I would use signal but I think that it exposes your phone number

can you add the bridge to #monero and monero simplex?

elucidator

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> frog_legs: there is a username feature for public group

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> you don't expose your phone number now

Dont expose to each other

But still creates an ugly / dirty privacy connectioj graph for signal to metadata track you

I'd prefer my signal acct be fully separated from monero

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> same

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> SimpleX is just superior in every way possible. Just sucks their codebase is haskell and SDK typescript

we need more simplex servers

Hackliberty hosts one and its pretty good. Would like one for monero.social and xmr.mx

id post link to hackliberties, but msg too long for libera

pastebin to the rescue

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> plowsof to the rescue*

Shutup plow

I was already doing that 😂

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> guys guys, there are people on the other side

<s​yntheticbird:monero.social> they seems to be active and all

<f​rog_legs:matrix.org> Shameless plug for a article I wrote about fungibilty. Any feedback is welcomed

<f​rog_legs:matrix.org> cryptogrinders.us/?p=248

<j​charlesnorris:matrix.org> Thank you.

Id run an ai over the article for grammar corrections,but at a glance looks pretty good

"an address has no history. " << they sort of do

You can use a decoy scanner to see when an output first appeared, and in what transactions it was used as a decoy

<p​lainred:matrix.org> What if someone built an atomic swap for monero and digital currency

<p​lainred:matrix.org> You use some digital bank to send money to an account generated with a code, then you can just atomic swap by inserting your monero wallet address

<p​lainred:matrix.org> Only problem is that these digital banks might demand know your customer

<p​lainred:matrix.org> Idk tell me what you think
