<k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> plowsof: I did see I'm in a very unfortunate position regarding the community meeting timeline (or very favorable, if it would take about two weeks to solicit opinions and this meeting is right at two weeks after my posting). Would you mind raising if I have issues actively present/letting me know what else I should do before the next meeting?

<k​ayabanerve:matrix.org> I posted the CCS proposal to both MR{Lab, Lounge} and here.

<s​upercryptonoob:matrix.org> I think I used to see some podcast/youtube channel that explain monero in a very technical way, but I cannot find it anymore

<s​upercryptonoob:matrix.org> Can somebody post the links, thanks

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> moneroj.net goes open source! reddit.com/r/Monero/s/abMUkGDV7K

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> "basic html, css"

<1​7lifers:matrix.org> let's go

rotten is there a light mode setting so that I can blind myself?

.lenny

is the swap exchange feature functional?

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> nioc no.

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> nioc yes.

nothing seems to happen when i put in a number on one side of the trade

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> nioc ask me if I care...

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> it's open source. I'll be waiting for your PR. :)

but is says Revuo so I thought you cared

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> I guess I don't. 🤔

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> how dare I... lawsuit!

<3​21bob321:monero.social> 😑

<h​bs:matrix.org> isn't that simply a trocador widget?

<f​iatdemise:matrix.org> With the finality layer, if a bad actor owns a lot of Monero, what damage could they do?

<r​ottenwheel:unredacted.org> Yes, it is.

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Halt the chain

<u​ser2570:unredacted.org> Can someone please quickly explain this dns checkpoints solution?

<u​ser2570:unredacted.org> Or give a link..

<r​ucknium:monero.social> user2570: See `--enforce-dns-checkpointing` at docs.getmonero.org/interacting/monerod-reference/#server

[CCS Proposals] kitty rawr opened merge request #605: Edit rawr_xd-playing-the-videogames.md repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/605

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Supporters coming out of the woodwork: sporestack.com/blog/posts/2025-08-11-save-monero-from-qubic.html

<r​ucknium:monero.social> > In response to our most private payment option being threatened, we've launched savemonero.info (which has more details) and we are investing 0.01 BTC (About $1,200 USD) into Monero mining on miningrigrentals.com. We do have one of our infrastructure servers mining with p2pool as well.

If only promoting and funding mining rig rentals wasn't detrimental to our future , a double edged sword that will become sharper over time

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Isnt that what qubic is doing anyway

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Also has monero batman twatter account twatted rucks website ?

Rucknium have there been any KISS solutions of lifting suggested defences against selfish mining from published papers? Like instead of first seen, lick the winner at random?

s/lick/pick :(

What would you use as consensus random source ?

Surely monerod can obtain something random, eeny, meeny, miny, moe? Block hashes? I dont know, most likely a 50/50 decision. Its a proposed defence, there are others in published literature, seems sane to look what has been suggested already rather than coming up with something novel

Btc has no such defences and also uses first seen afaict

What's stopping me from setting up my node to pick at "random" to suit my needs ?

True, would require more control of the network, or fake sybil nodes to do just that. There are other more recent papers such as "publish or perish" - ive only read the title ofc arxiv.org/html/2307.00529v2

<r​ucknium:monero.social> plowsof: I think that would set the gamma parameter in the selfish mining computations to 0.5

<r​ucknium:monero.social> It could hurt or help the adversary, depending on what their gamma is now.

s/more recent/2017

How resilient is the p2pool scheme to selfish mining ?

p2pool supports uncle blocks, so you can't orphan them so easily

it's designed to be able to run with fast block times and many possible reorgs

Exactly, - but I guess processing actual transactions would get messy
