[CCS Proposals] plowsoff closed merge request #608: Just generated my initial proposal. the first 2 milestone will be much quicker... repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/608

<17lifers:mikuplushfarm.ovh> didn't windows no longer run vbs files > <elucidator> looks like the noob that cloned p2pool repo and named it similarly then uploaded malwared p2pool exe in the releases. which i reversed and shared my findings with sech1. it was an obfuscated vbscript malware + actual p2pool exe from official github releases. our reports got the repo removed in a short time.

next community meeting is tomorrow monero-project/meta #1264

17lifers: it was an exe file that extracts, deobfuscates and runs vbscript. It's still supported but getting deprecated/being optional soon. Wasn't a very professional job either. Just a ready to use loader probably.

<monerobull:matrix.org> google gemini is freaking crazy

<monerobull:matrix.org> 1 shotted this

<sgp_> Reminder: money pls donate.magicgrants.org/general/projects/veridise-helioselene

<17lifers:mikuplushfarm.ovh> there's an official monero discord?

<17lifers:mikuplushfarm.ovh> mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/mikuplushf…GM9COFXamEs9Bwggh8WZoM2FRumbrQc.png (image.png)

not much of value can be found there :)

<monerobull:matrix.org> @17lifers:mikuplushfarm.ovh: we lost control over it

<monerobull:matrix.org> discord wants the admins to KYC and that aint happening

<monerobull:matrix.org> @sgp_: do we get a discount for them posting fud about us?

<monerobull:matrix.org> there should be more consequences than them saying "oopsie!"

<monerobull:matrix.org> selsta: am i missing something or why was the 4.2 release blog post on august 26th but the twitter only posted about it yesterday?

i don't run twitter

so no idea lol

i don't know who has access to that account

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @monerobull:matrix.org: Nah, they get discounted xmr 🔥🥲

<monerobull:matrix.org> selsta: i thought maybe bcs it mentioned CLI specifically, that there was something new added to the release

<monerobull:matrix.org> if it takes us a week to post about our own recommended releases the state of the twitter is in way worse condition than i thought

i assume the tweet was just delayed

<monerobull:matrix.org> if we are already abusing it as a marketing platform, at least do the bare minimum holy fucking shit

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @monerobull:matrix.org: They still havet posted abt banlists/spy nodes

<monerobull:matrix.org> insanity

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Should just hand it over to cfb

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> at least he's not excited for every cake wallet and keystone retweet

<lordx3nu:matrix.org> They never tweeted about ospead right?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> I think they did, maybe indirectly by posting a ccs

sgp sorry for delays, it requires a withdrawal from the big boy cold wallet

monerobull just ask cake wallet to tweet about it and hope forna retweet

Something like "Our #cake #monero mainframe 👁️IN 👁️APP NODES protect 😠 you from SPIES 👓 . "But my #Keystone wallet already does that!" Yes anon, but this is something else. 🧵1/20" .. it all started with with 1 #leaks video and an awkward handshake 🤝

CakeLikesPrivact PASS iT ALONG

🤮

The date of the release blog on site is probably inaccurate - its the date when the pull request was made, blog was live on 1st september monerobull , please forgive the twitter custodian

<rucknium> Pinned Reddit post is out of date.

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @plowsof everytime you type "wallet" its tagging an irc user

.balance

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> I mean, check matrix side

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> matrix.to/#/@irc_wallet:monero.social its tagging this

yeah I mentioned that ofrnxmr

they are in some channel, not this one

the user is valid, for speed reasons I can't verify the user is in the channel when mentioning them, just that it's in a monitored channel

they are in #monero in this case

very common on IRC to randomly notify users using common words or single letter nicks

<ofrnxmr> Not notify, i mean jts mangling the text

<ofrnxmr> Instead of cake wallet its cake irc_wallet:monero.social

it ... can't know if it's a mention or not. I can probably have a dictionary list to remove most common mentions there

like we have a user called "O S" (without the space)

on this same channel :D

<ofrnxmr> yea, but why mention on matrix at all?

so users mention others like this, hi plowsof this is a mention

<ofrnxmr> mayboe its my settings, but if someone says "ofrnxmr" it pings ne

on irc that's written as so users mention others like this, hi plowsof this is a mention

on matrix when you explicitly mention someone you need to actively make it a mention

that's the conversion to make it appear as a proper mention on matrix

<ofrnxmr> Prob my settings then

yeah, you can enable trigger words

<ofrnxmr> Anyway, i think its cleaner to not do matrix mentions from irc. Maybe just recency biased because of the wallet mentions

or go via the dictionary method and exclude common words

they don't get mapped the other way (matrix to IRC) so it's only when going this direction

at least for the "wallet" user in #monero they are getting all those pings!

<ofrnxmr> element (maybe by default) has "my username" and "my display name" selected for notification

<ofrnxmr> I dont have ofrnxmr keyword setup

lemme see if I can add first channel context to the pill converter

then common dictionary lookup to prevent these unless it's using "@" to allow explicit pings a-la discord :)

<ofrnxmr> "my display name"a would ping me w/o converting it

it's not to ping you on matrix, but to make it apparent who's pinging what from IRC to matrix

this is more relevant when puppets are on both sides, at least

irc.gammaspectra.live/92fd1968baf75057/image.png

that's also part of what converts channel names on IRC to channel names on Matrix

so I can point someone to #p2pool-bridge-test and they get the proper inlining

lemme explicitly remove "wallet" from the wordlist as you have a meeting soon, I'll check the other options later

plowsof: the bridge cannot join #monero :(

> time=2025-09-05T16:56:18.007+02:00 level=ERROR msg="Could not join matrix room" server=matrix room=#monero:monero.social err="M_FORBIDDEN (HTTP 403): You are not invited to this room."

I removed #monero from the list as it ... couldn't join it anymore due to the invite restriction

will fix

<plowsof:matrix.org> should be ok now DataHoarder

looks ok, rejoined fine :)

monero wallet test

!balance

wallet is useless please kick

<datahoarder> mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/monero.social/chkfYasoipMcjKaxRyMoZYIM.png (image.png)

please no one get the idea to add bots here :D

DataHoarder: wallet is a bot

<freddypa:matrix.org> Hello

> Real name: Wallet by Bill48105

it indeed might be

you can use it to tip various crypto

and yes bill runs it

alright I added top 10k dictionary check for common words. you should be able to still ping via @, example wallet vs @wallet

or not :D but I should be able to ping DataHoarder at least

<freddypa:matrix.org> can someone tell me something about the monero.social server?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Probaby

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Dontasktoask.com

<freddypa:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: So can you tell me something about it?

<ofrnxmr> ofrnAI can probably answer if you ask a real question

<freddypa:matrix.org> Ok so how long is it gonna be online?

<ofrnxmr> Til 2026

<freddypa:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr: huh so after that all my messages are deleted?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> You're on matrix.org

<freddypa:matrix.org> ik thats why Im asking

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Why would your messages disappear?

<freddypa:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: no like if I am gonna make an acc with monero.chat all my messages are gonna get deleted after 2026?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> No sir. The server will keep running

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> 2026 was probably a joke. There are no plans to kill the server

<freddypa:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: That is good. Can I just make a new acc and add monero.server and are there rules?

<ofrnxmr> Registration has been closed for many months.

<freddypa:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr: oh

<ofrnxmr> I get the vibe that, for unknown reasons, it is not intended to be opened up again

<freddypa:matrix.org> ahh thats not cool

<ofrnxmr> The reasons it was closed arent entirely unknown, but the reasons to keep it closed - i'm not aware

<freddypa:matrix.org> but web.getmonero.org/de/resources/user-guides/join-monero-matrix.html is still on

<ofrnxmr> I thought closure was temporary, but its been many months

<ofrnxmr> maybe @plowsof:matrix.org or @diego:cypherstack.com can give some insight on when/if registration will be opened up

<freddypa:matrix.org> ofrnxmr thank you

<diego:cypherstack.com> @ofrnxmr: Would be nice wouldn't it?

<ofrnxmr> For who? Right now, im a part of the exclusive, vip, grandfathered, insider club

Registration is closed, i think media uploads/storage will have to be severely nerfd to bring it back up

<ofrnxmr> i dont think theres a way to do that ?

<ofrnxmr> Aside from maybe expiring stuff after a while

<ofrnxmr> Which is.. less than ideal. One thing i love abt the server, is i can recall very old stuff

Yes purge media after x time. And , limit file size uploads (zero for example) and i think file types can be rejected

<ofrnxmr> maybe posdible to make it a paid server? Would discourage ppl from burning their $

<ofrnxmr> i think files are already limited in size

<ofrnxmr> I tried to send some big stuff recently and it didnt work

<ofrnxmr> I think the server already stores the media though, since its federated from other servers

<ofrnxmr> matrix's server was like 55tb LoL

that was just their event database

not media itself except minor caching

Rucknium the reddit pinned release post has been updated to v0.18.4.2 reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/1n9je4…o_gui_01842_fluorine_fermi_released

<rucknium> Thanks, plowsof
