Every node is plowsof node 16:11:40 i suspect proxying a legitimate node will be more appealing now that the Cat has jumped onto the lap or out of the bag / cardboard boax 16:16:19 any other highlights? - i assume matrix . org will have updated their servers to the latest versions and pigeons will be looking into how that is going. seems fine here 16:19:34 On the Qubic mining issue, I am updating this data occasionally. Just updated about 16 hours ago: https://gist.github.com/Rucknium/0873b10b6d36ff6c9d6f8f54107d16f7 16:20:37 thank you, reddit mods can auto mod or sticky this, great resource cc syntheticbird monerobull , ok we can move onto the CCS ideas, i'd like to first cover the proposals that didnt seem to require further discussion for merging to funding. i will paste several. if there is a problem you can tell me to srsly stfu. 16:21:22 b.

[MoneroOS Resurrection](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/596) 16:38:20 an overwhelmingly positive Reddit thread for this proposal @ https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1lzi7g4/moneroos_resurrection/ 16:38:50 two hundread and forty four whole updoots and everyone excited about it in the comments 16:39:38 im sure they are all users of the original https://github.com/4rkal/MoneroOS *tumble weeds* 16:39:46 and waiting with baited breath for improvements 16:40:02 bated* 16:42:32 I'm still a nack on that, same reasons stated before. Target audience being one of them 16:43:02 If youre running a dedi miner, you wouldnt use this. Flashing an iso is not less work than downkoadibf xmrig 16:44:59 Does this proposal have so much support on Reddit that it could be funded on Kuno? 16:45:41 judging by that reddit thread yes, i think it would be funded quite quickly 16:46:06 unless they are bots karma farming 🤷 16:49:33 moving on 16:49:38 h. [[hbs] EVM Atomic Swaps](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/597) 16:50:52 Following Rucknium's suggestion made during the first meeting where my proposal was discussed, I've researched funding opportunities within the Ethereum ecosystem. 16:51:25 Turns out the main funding channel, gitcoin grants, is currently being redesigned and is no longer financing any project. 16:52:22 Next I researched ESP (Ecosystem Support Program), this program is directly managed by the Ethereum foundation. It explicitely states that it doesn't finance "financial projects". 16:53:44 Atomic swaps arent financial projects 16:53:47 As a side note the ESP was also the financing option that was sought after for the MK4 Hackathon. Ultimately the EF rejected the grant stating that their support is "primarly directed towards Ethereum focused events/communities" 16:53:59 I think that implies stuff like celcius or aave 16:54:50 I've also looked at financing options with the Gnosis Chain community, but they don't seem to offer financing for projects using Gnosis Chain but for projects building on their other products (GnosisPay, GnosisVPN, ...) 16:56:33 what abt Solana 16:57:41 Unfortunately they do not provide an explicit definition of what falls under the "financial projects" denomination 16:58:17 Unrelated to EVM, except for the NeonEVM side project but which doesn't offer a fully compatible EVM layer 17:01:49 Unrelated to financing, I've created a dedicated Matrix channel for discussing the EVM-XMR Atomic Swap solution I implemented, #moneroswap:matrix.org 17:02:55 as we're at the hour with 2 more proposals to cover. any other comments on this for now? monero<>eth integrated into existing projects such as basicswapdex would seem appealing 17:03:32 Ive reached out to some ppl. will update when i have news 17:04:28 lets cover the remaining 2 proposals. moving on. thank you for taking on the feedback hbs 17:04:30 i. [Monero Python Maintenance](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/598) 17:04:52 bit of back story: the original monero-python is abandonware https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-python , it still had an open PR to add unlock_time to returned json https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-python/pull/127 , when actively maintained it was popular and even made it to v1.0 with a well received announcement on reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments 17:04:53 /tjn1zh/were_mature_moneropython_10_has_been_released/ 17:05:01 this proposal is from everoddandeven 17:05:18 the abandonned monero-python was more so a wrapper for monero-wallet-rpc, however did have some of its own crypto functions such as scanning for outputs which belong to a view key + address (albeit at a slow python speed) and address validation. 17:05:48 instead of wrapping monero-wallet-rpc this is utilising monero-cpp which has direct binding to wallet2, is this generalisation correct everoddandeven? 17:06:05 Can this software have multiple wallets open at the same time? 17:06:33 Yes 17:06:37 monero-cpp is used by monero-ts, so its maintenance has been promised for the foreseeable future by woodser 17:06:58 Yes, but it also wraps monero-wallet-rpc 17:07:11 my comment on the 2 extra things your have implemented: "MoneroDaemonRpc and MoneroWalletRpc (and relative data model), which are not offered by the monero-cpp library." woodser thinks these could be useful. IMO they should be PR'd to monero-cpp and reviewed for merge. 17:07:27 everoddandeven: Any info on the RAM footprint of this software and how it scales with number of wallets open? 17:07:57 It has an interface (Monerowallet) implemented by 3 classes: Monowalletfull (Full Wrappers of Wallet2), MonowalletKeys (Keys Management Only) and MonerowaLletpc (RPC Client for Monero-Wallet-RPC) 17:08:26 `monero-wallet-rpc` can only open one wallet at a time. If you want to open more, you need to have multiple instances of it running. That takes a lot of RAM. 17:08:53 Unfortunately not, for now 17:09:56 But I think it doesn't change much if you compare with monero-cpp as it is all in binding with this library, using pybind11 17:10:21 I ran into this about four years ago when I was running `townforge-wallet-rpc` on a VPS and could only have one wallet open at a time. It was annoying and seemed to be a strange design decision. 17:10:41 https://github.com/woodser/monero-cpp 17:11:17 I wonder if it could help multi-wallet support for the Monero BTCPay Server plugin. AFAIK, they plan to use LWS for that, but maybe this could be added, too. 17:11:42 So, we go in a wider speech here 17:12:07 (Sorry, I'm using Google Translator) 17:12:17 does the xmrapidev final boss named woodser give this monero-python his blessing? that would be ideal 17:12:57 For this I'm developing also https://github.com/everoddandeven/monero-dotnet 17:13:47 side note: everoddandeven translated zero to monero into italian recently https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/pull/2502 17:13:54 That would be another idea I intended to propose: to make a C bridge for Monero-Cpp in order to use it with P/Invoke for this library 17:14:31 Does your work interact at all with SNeedlewoods 's work? 17:14:56 https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/SNeedlewoods-02_part-time-dev-work.html 17:15:28 and example https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/9918/files 17:17:00 No, it doesn't seem to me. This work refers to the wallet2_api.h, right? 17:17:33 I just want to make sure that things are coordinated if they should be coordinated. 17:18:25 thanks for the feedback and attending the meeting everoddandeven 17:18:50 moving onto the final proposal 17:18:55 j.
