<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> > Project renamed and relocated to its own repository: Monero-Merchant/monero-merchant

<ajs_:matrix.org> Forked as a separate project

blocks.p2pool.observer/pools now tags unknown entities with blocks sharing instance id (>= 2 in last week)

<ct:xmr.mx> fyi proton now supports xmr payment via proxystrore

<ajs_:matrix.org> outsourcing to a reseller is not the same as natively supporting xmr though

<321bob321> Better then nothing

<321bob321> They’ll never accept it, cause they want to be compliant

<monerobull:matrix.org> i had grok estimate how much the react CVE mined

<monerobull:matrix.org> it said ~$25k worth of XMR but up to $75k

<billionarebear:matrix.org> Question: Monero’s ZK tech today and future — can it be used in real-life applications?

<ajs_:matrix.org> Please stop AI slop

<syntheticbird> epic ai slop for real

<billionarebear:matrix.org> Sorry i am researching this i put all my info in AI and build a proper question i am not good english

<billionarebear:matrix.org> My method is not good but intentions are purely curious about the future and wanted to know how monero tech be used in real life and if monero tech will go into real life application used for privacy like social media , or where zkp is used

<syntheticbird> Bitting the bait if this is one.

<syntheticbird> 1. Zero knowledge proof is a whole domain of cryptography usage with many systems. The one monero uses are of different natures and goals as ones like STARK and SNARK. Currently monero only uses bulletproof(+) and pedersen commitments afaik. Later on other with FCMP++. The first is for checking if a number is positive, the sec [... too long, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/pZWA4tAKV190cGMx ]

<syntheticbird> 2. Triptych and Seraphis are outdated. The next upgrade is FCMP++ which also brings a new zkp construction called curve trees.

<syntheticbird> 3. All the questions you are asking so far relates from a lack of knowledge of basic cryptography and its usages. Which is perfectly understandable. Many of these questions have been asked individually on r/monero and other spaces and answered accordingly. I would advice you to first strengthen your "cryptography cultur[... more lines follow, see mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/pZWA4tAKV190cGMx ]

<billionarebear:matrix.org> @syntheticbird: Thank you 🙏

soon the agentic mode will join IRC servers to ask questions

and complain when it doesn't get one promptly :')

like normal users

comment on proton "It's still not possible to pay with Monero for any Proton services. Paying through a 3rd party was always possible and is obviously not what we want."

considering where proton is located I guess they don't have much choice
