<s​trawberry:monero.social> What's the problem with signal knowing I'm in a monero group?

<p​lainred:matrix.org> well if you were going to say "but what if the govt audits signal and finds I was in that group!" or something then that would dispell that

<p​lainred:matrix.org> also i just responded to your argument so respond to my response

<p​lainred:matrix.org> also i just responded to your argument so respond to my response please

<s​trawberry:monero.social> I don't know what problems with matrix you're referring to but what's more worrying to me is that signal could get breached and all the "hidden" phone numbers revealed

<p​lainred:matrix.org> thats a good criticism honestly

<p​lainred:matrix.org> didnt really think of it

<p​lainred:matrix.org> but just having a phone number in signal isnt really compromising

<h​egelo:matrix.org> Hi people why is that implemented in the wallet zip file ?

<h​egelo:matrix.org> Trojan:Win32/Phonzy.C!ml ?!

<s​trawberry:monero.social> Where did you get the zip from?

<h​egelo:matrix.org> getmonero.org

<h​egelo:matrix.org> the official website

<h​egelo:matrix.org> both zip

<s​trawberry:monero.social> Should be safe then, the detection might be because it contains the code for mining, which happens to also be in a lot of malware

<h​egelo:matrix.org> with differente Trojan

<h​egelo:matrix.org> code for mining is automatically executed ?

no

<s​trawberry:monero.social> No, you need to go out of your way to set up mining and click start

<h​egelo:matrix.org> Trojan are automatically executed how would windows detect it as Trojan then

<h​egelo:matrix.org> I'm gonna take a peek on the source code if it is open sourced

main repo here github.com/monero-project

<s​trawberry:monero.social> github.com/monero-project/monero-gui

<h​egelo:matrix.org> thank you very much

<s​trawberry:monero.social> If you want to be extra sure you downloaded the real wallet, follow the instructions under "Show hashes to verify your download" and/or build it yourself from source

<p​lainred:matrix.org> getting a phone number revealed isn't compromising

<p​lainred:matrix.org> as all it's associated with is that someone uses signal, not what they do with it

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> Well, depending on where you are, you can get name/other info from phone numbers

<r​ecanman:kernal.eu> It depends on your threat model

<p​lainred:matrix.org> true

<p​lainred:matrix.org> is simplex just worse than element?

<p​lainred:matrix.org> i dont think it has a desktop app

<r​avfx:xmr.mx> it does now

<r​avfx:xmr.mx> GUI and CLI

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> No

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Plowsof your fired

the committee has spoken

<3​21bob321:monero.social> “Brimer was appointed to the MAGIC Monero Fund in 2022, a committee that decides the future technical direction of Monero”

<3​21bob321:monero.social> LMFAO

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Aounds like magic bs grant

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Like when jetfund took off, on monerotalk two people were shilling magic

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Sounds like magic bs grant

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Lmao

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Fkn plowsof

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> a committee that decides the future technical direction of Monero

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Lmao what am i reading

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Journalist must just believe the first person that comes to them

<3​21bob321:monero.social> We can sue cause thats inaccurate

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Or fud

<3​21bob321:monero.social> At least they said run your own node

The Protos article is actually quite decent

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Rucknium: decrypt.co/248728/monero-expert-fac…ming-xmr-transactions-can-be-traced

<3​21bob321:monero.social> A clarification from “the committee” would be appreciated

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> MAGIC

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Hostile takeover

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> >a committee that decides the future technical direction of Monero

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> yeah no they misrepresented that by a LOT

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> they could have used "the" instead of "a" so its not that bad, dont worry

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> nodes also dont secure or enforce anything

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> >or use privacy-focused web browser Tor.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> holy shit crypto jOuRnALiSm is really bottom of the barrel trash

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> >the Monero council member pointed to a partnership between Monero and cloud-provider Umbrel

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> ahhhhhhhhhh

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> >Monero remains the world’s largest privacy coin at the time of writing, with a market capitalization of $3.1 billion. But its market cap has dropped 3.1% in the past 24 hours according to CoinGecko data.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> starts sentence with "But"

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> ffs

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> we're reading what ai said after being shown a few emails

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> but this was supposedly stacy

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> Stacy wrote for TheStreet Crypto after spending three years as a data analyst and product manager on the Goldman Sachs technology risk team. Prior to joining Goldman, Stacy led the data reporting team at Fortune. Before joining Fortune, she worked as a data reporter at Bankrate and the Star-Ledger. Disclosure: She owns less than 1 BTC and less than 2 ETH.

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> stacy from goldman sachs technology risk team and data reporting at fortune...

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> at least it was kinda neutral even if everything else is pretty damn terrible

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> wait lol it says "Edited by Stacy Elliott."

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> so this is definitely mostly AI haha

<p​lowsof:matrix.org> they only care about clicks

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Shes had a lot of jobs. She must get fired a lot

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Soon: "before working for the telegraph, stacy wrote for TheStreet Crypto"

<m​onerobull:matrix.org> this woman probably makes 4-5 times more than me :,)

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> "owns less thsn 1btc and less than 2 eth" nobody fucking asked

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> How much monero does she own

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> None? hFSPPP

<j​effro256:monero.social> I own less than 2^64 piconero, it can fit into one measly amount commitment

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Criminal

inb4 article rebutting the rebuttal…

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Csilla Brimer hasn't been on the MAGIC Monero Fund committee for a year and a half. And it doesn't decide the technical direction of Monero lol

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Lets hope ai wrote the article then?

<r​ucknium:monero.social> If it's AI, maybe it took statement from Twitter. I don't know.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> Btw. I read it in the news, so it must be true. MAGIC decides the technical direction of monero.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> (/s)

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Maybe sgp_ can tweet from the MAGICGrants account to correct the record.

<s​gp_:monero.social> if I had to guess, the person writing the article just assumed that person was still on the committee without checking

<s​gp_:monero.social> personally I don't see a reason to post about a rando crypto article

<s​gp_:monero.social> I assume the author just made this up. clearly that's false

<s​gp_:monero.social> no article backlink to magic??? what am I paying these writers for /s

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Ask for a correction
