koe: Research and Development 1 has moved to funding! ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/koe-dev-1.html

Batch posting: vtnerd, @sneedlewoods_xmr:matrix.org, koe ukoehb all 3 of your Funding Required proposals have been posted via @MoneroSpace on X. Cheers!

DataHoarder: I bet I'm still banned from the bridge, and natively on Matrix, aren't I? :P

Look at me helping propagate funding required proposals and they can't even read the pings.

I can do nothing about that dukenukem, ask plowsof

DataHoarder: Oh, no, I'm not asking you to do anything, just finding it hilarious, the state of affairs, that is; commenting. ^_^

Thanks for sending in PM what the bridge sees too. Maybe I'll have to create yet another GitHub meta issue, where the mosquitoes will jump in and do their thing.

We'll see.

Thank you, regardless.

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> 👀

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> rotten was banned again, yes

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Acting like he doesnt know why 🤷‍♂️

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> iirc, he spent 2 years banned and was conditionally unbanned. He broke those conditions repeatedly 🤷‍♂️

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> what's the drama about?

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> like, why? xD

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> When he was warned, he left the room. Then started sending msgs from irc. Plowsof could have also banned him directly on irc, but didnt

<321bob321> Only one drama at a time

DataHoarder: there is discussion in the monerokon about using your bridge that you recently offered to do

*in the monerokon room

which room on IRC?

someone asked if there was a repository available to see

custom built from scratch

it's on the OFTC network of irc but being that there is no working bridge you need to join on matrix

oh, yeah, that'd be a new custom connection there

#monerokon:matrix.org

I tried joining, it failed from my monero.social nick :(

tl;dr it works as an app service

siren is the matrix admin there

yeah, it being on oftc means a new connection and not just adding another room. not that complex to change, but that'd be a new appservice registration...

as currently that wouldn't be supported on monero.social due to how the appservice is 1:1 to a single endpoint

<plowsof:matrix.org> oftc has a native app service bridge that works right?

they should use that then

it's matrix-appservice-irc nodejs which has other fun issues, but if they provide officially that'd be the way

> The Matrix.org Foundation recently published a blog post stating that unless they raise temporary funding by the end of March, and also solicit further, more sustained funding in the month after that, they will start scaling back operations and discontinue running and maintaining their flagship inter-protocol bridges, including the official

bridge to OFTC.

it's gone :)

thanks Matrix and venture capital

<plowsof:matrix.org> monerokon organisers have a financial incentive to make sure the infra is top notch so they'll figure it out 🙏

I thought that now mk organizers and infra have been separated

love of monroe is now the motivation :)

so its still our problem , nooooo

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> nioc: orangefren pays for (sponsors?) the server that mk uses

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @plowsof:matrix.org: and, unless im mistaken, its an expensive vds

please pay DataHoarder :)

so organizer pays?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> orangefren paid for it last year, probably because he wanted to use it and expected zero community funds

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> sorry, this year. we're still in '26

ofrnxmr how expensive is the vps?

over/under than DataHoarder 230~eur/month for tracking the p2pool exploiter

ajs said that OF used TE infra somewhere

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> plowsof: no idea, i just heard that it wasnt a good price

<stnby:kernal.eu> Are you guys asking how much the MK physical server costs? As that one is 45 USD/month

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> i think so

stnby who sponsors that server?

<stnby:kernal.eu> @plowsof:matrix.org: Not really. Stuff like the 2023 2024 self hosted live stream we had for MK is not a financial incentive. Quite the opposite.

<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> I still think that this is the most responsible dispensation of TE funds

no financial incentive to disseminate the event live and for eternity for all to see?

<orangefren:matrix.org> plowsof: I'm paying for it :)

<stnby:kernal.eu> plowsof: Exactly

<stnby:kernal.eu> Also things like pretix/pretalx take thousands of euros in time to setup. So its best to preserve a simgle setup and share that with organizer each year.

monero integration into pretix was done by yourself and Siren right? funded by

<stnby:kernal.eu> Yes, as part of Digilol sponsorship. Couple of weeks I was actually porting it over to newer version of pretix

<siren:kernal.eu> Not funded by, I wrote it for free

<siren:kernal.eu> In exchange for lowest tier sponsorship

ah thanks, i wasn't sure, yes the sponsors where 'in kind' right, thanks

siren thx, are we getting a bridge? Is there anything I can do to help facilitate that?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> doesnt the feather oftc still work?

DataHoarder shared a link saying they discontinued it (oftc) :(

feathers bridge still works though?

ofrn please test feather room

or plowsof

mk stopped working over a week ago and when it did work it missed some things as I noted b4

looks to be working

meow

<pw:xmr.mx> meow meow

update on MoneroKon issue.. in accordance with the wishes of the community, all MoneroKon accounts/YouTube channel have been (or in the process being) transferred over to new custodians, ceetee and comradeblin

<bawdyanarchist:matrix.org> ajs-xmr: Thanks ajs. Despite whatever "drama" may have happened this week, everyone appreciates all the work you did over the years for MoneroKon, and helping us realize that a for profit venture shouldn't have ownership of the shared community branding/resources.

thanks bawdy.. although I philosophically disagree with the direction of MoneroKon, I do wish orangefren the very best is making a great event next year

<3

we do get into passionate arguments at times, but we are on the same team… the advancement censorship-resistant, private, p2p digital cash

<pw:xmr.mx> ajs-xmr: I say the same to the wife now and then

16:49:37 <@plowsof> over/under than DataHoarder 230~eur/month for tracking the p2pool exploiter

that required high ram, high cpu, high core count, so it was expensive. usually it's cheaper :)
