<rottenwheel:unredacted.org> wow, France. @syntheticbird:monero.social @servers.guru:matrix.servers.guru

<rottenwheel:unredacted.org> reuters.com/world/frances-top-court…tails-freedom-expression-2026-08-14

<pw:xmr.mx> blocking social media for under 15s? why the care? 🤨

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> More importantly, what the fuck does this have to do with monero workgroups?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Lil sis needs to take ts to #monero-offtopic:monero.social

<pw:xmr.mx> weird

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Also, bro likes doxxing ppls locations

rbrunner7 opened issue #1442: Monero Tech Meeting #182 - Monday, 2026-08-17, 18:00 UTC

> monero-project/meta #1442

<syntheticbird> especially @rottenwheel:unredacted.org because I actually told him who I am and where I live exactly, where and when I'm out etc. So if a three letter agency want to find me really feel free to find him and give him the good ol wrench treatement, i'm sure he will be hard to beat but you'll get there eventually. > <@ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Also, bro likes doxxing ppls locations

<syntheticbird> 👍️

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> i think he'd squeal before they even pulled out the wrench

<pyxmr2025:mozilla.org> @ofrnxmr:monero.social: hi,they’ve fixed the issue with C3Pool; I forgot to tell you.

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: short squeal short info. whoever would stop early is an amateur

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @syntheticbird: lmao well it's public info I'm from france too

<syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: well its in your name so

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> yeah lol I wouldn't have thought few from france

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @pyxmr2025:mozilla.org: Oh ok, thanks 🙏

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> A bit unrelated, I just found curious this contributor el00ruobuob with bio saying "I do not trust @fluffypony". I'm very recent to monero, is this a joke or actual beef?

<syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: oh go

<syntheticbird> I just joined the community when there was the drama around fluffypony and honestly it felt thermonuclear

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> since when does anyone trust anyone

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> well know I wanna know more lol

<jpk68:matrix.org> Is this person like fireice-uk? I don't know about this either

<syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: I have zero idea what happened, I didn't felt concerned at the time and It seems to be a long and complicated story honestly

<syntheticbird> you gotta ask older people

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> ok

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> tldr: there are old wallets and accounting doesnt add up. The end

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: harassement

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> the funds were always to be used howevwr tf core wanted to use them - they arent "community" funds. Example: they were used to hire diego (then throw him under the bus), to pay the noethers, and bounties, infra, and other things core wanted to spend them on

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> The missing funds were worth probably 20k at the time, but because they would be worth 150k+ today, some peopke want to bring up ghosts and chase boogeymen

<syntheticbird> wouldn't happen if I was core

<syntheticbird> the drama i mean

<syntheticbird> I would have stole the money

<syntheticbird> and just assume it

<syntheticbird> jk

<syntheticbird> thats a good way to be an asshole and get yourself shot

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> that's the reason you want to stay anon I get it now

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> fluffy isnt anon

<syntheticbird> he was talking of me

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> probably one of the only part of the monero core or dev teams that has made the news

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> yeah but he hasn't contributed since 2020 seems like

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> i know

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> im just saying, why steal anonymously, if you can be famous for doing it publicly?

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: aka he left

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: that's deep

<syntheticbird> just like GF wallet

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> nah, he was contributing during discussions around qubic reorgs

<syntheticbird> oh yeah i remember

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> after he was arrested, he stepped down as maintainer

<syntheticbird> it draw a lot of unrelated comments lol

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: in south africa right ?

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: another sussy affair lmao

<syntheticbird> nothing sussy about tax fraud

<syntheticbird> supposedly

<syntheticbird> fluffypony/dothething a13574f

<syntheticbird> latest activity from fluffypony btw

<syntheticbird> bro's living his life

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> AI maxxi

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> what tax fraud > <@syntheticbird> nothing sussy about tax fraud

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: am I wrong ? I have a blurry memory of a post on r/monero about him being arrested in south africa for tax fraud

<jpk68:matrix.org> mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/matrix.org/xbKFQteTCUKMDxDykWfOrNTP.png (clipboard.png)

<jpk68:matrix.org> Funny number!

<syntheticbird> or did I just hallucinated this shit

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> he was arrested for invoice fraud

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> allegedly he worked for old employer and gave clients fake invoices and pocketed the difference

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: invoice huh

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: ah got it

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> allegedly

<syntheticbird> @jpk68:matrix.org: lmfao

<syntheticbird> young degenerates are gonna brainrot this project

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> anways I was thinking why do core need 6M sitting cold storage ? like why isn't monero upgrades being partially funded by core when it isn't fully funded by community fully?

<syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: one advice

<syntheticbird> stop wondering about core, you'll have headaches

<syntheticbird> trust me

<jpk68:matrix.org> You can still have a "core team" with a less dumb model

<jpk68:matrix.org> Bitcoin Core seems to be extremely well maintained, though such an approach may be too susceptible to being infiltrated or whatnot

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: who told you that its in cold storage?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> and yes, the generalfund DOES partially fund upgrades etc

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> i think like 600/2000 xmr was donated to the fcmp research ccs from it, as an example

<syntheticbird> @jpk68:matrix.org: susceptible to being infiltrated ? Its already infiltrated

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> and often dev proposals are 30% funded by the generalfund

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: nice

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> Gm monero fam

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> what’s the drama today?

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> hotse are just 2 examples. you can look at binaryfate's gitlab activityto see when he sends funds

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> claude 💀 and it cited monero.town which is down > <@ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> who told you that its in cold storage?

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> > 162.98 XMR in the main "GF" wallet and 15,584.23 XMR in a cold wallet called "GF-Vault" (a third wallet, GF2, is empty) — a total of ~15,747.21 XMR, plus 0.2187 BTC in the Bitcoin donation address

<ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> claude is retarded

<syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: truth nuke

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: indeed

<jpk68:matrix.org> Claude is so useful for learning languages (i.e. not programming languages)

<jpk68:matrix.org> Your trvke has been rendered invalid

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> anways figure is pretty close?

<syntheticbird> my message sounded like core don't do anything. But no, they are doing things, continously, you might criticize it and you might have valid reasons to do so. My point is, Do not try to lose your head against what core COULD or SHOULD, because at the end of the day you aren't core.

<syntheticbird> that's as simple as that

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> yeah though I haven't criticized anyone

<thomasbuilds:matrix.org> but you know when you spend many h of your life doing something you want to know the background of it

<syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: rightfully yes

<syntheticbird> i know you haven't im just saying that because some here fell the slipper slope for this exact reason and just became haters

an old bookmark that might explain things reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbs9mwyf89x3z.jpg

<syntheticbird> is that a pony ,

<pw:xmr.mx> at the front, yes.

<pw:xmr.mx> dog at the back

<c99e:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: AI only amplifies

<syntheticbird> @c99e:matrix.org: a ceo once said these were neural accelerator

<syntheticbird> he is out of the line but he is right

<c99e:matrix.org> It's also the reason why: blog.florianherrengt.com/ai-removin…dle-class-software-engineering.html

<syntheticbird> @c99e:matrix.org: what an armagedeon of common sense wtf

<rottenwheel:unredacted.org> +1 > <@syntheticbird> especially @rottenwheel:unredacted.org because I actually told him who I am and where I live exactly, where and when I'm out etc. So if a three letter agency want to find me really feel free to find him and give him the good ol wrench treatement, i'm sure he will be hard to beat but you'll get there eventually.

<dark.macau:matrix.org> Where rottenwheel lives? Do you know? > <@syntheticbird> especially @rottenwheel:unredacted.org because I actually told him who I am and where I live exactly, where and when I'm out etc. So if a three letter agency want to find me really feel free to find him and give him the good ol wrench treatement, i'm sure he will be hard to beat but you'll get there eventually.

<syntheticbird> @dark.macau:matrix.org: Our relation is unidirectional

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @dark.macau:matrix.org: In a pineapple under the sea

<321bob321> @dark.macau:matrix.org: Under a bridge

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> So he knows where a bunch of you lives

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> And y'all doesn't know where he lives?

<syntheticbird> @slowbeardigger:matrix.org: just like there needs to be someone sober for everyone being alcoholic

<syntheticbird> we need someone secret for everyone of us public

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> Is he the sober one?

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> 💀

<siren:kernal.eu> Reminds me of that time in MK2023 where he made us wait as a group because he wanted to say hi to his other friend

<siren:kernal.eu> Mf never came back

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> ah Rotten

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: and this, makes complete sense, taking in consideration his roots

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> A lot of people from the same place have the same pattern

are you sure it was 2023?

<siren:kernal.eu> 24* when we went to the irish pub

<siren:kernal.eu> I can't remember if we stopped elsewhere before and I had tartare. I was too smashed.

<siren:kernal.eu> i have ptsd from jagermeister and german speaking twins

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Jager is so good

<siren:kernal.eu> Terrible to have 5 shots of it after 10 beers throughout the day and some cocktails

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> Once I drank a whole bottle working on a project, when I standed up...

<siren:kernal.eu> Rip

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Sounds like a good starter

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Nah, I was dizzy but was surprised

<siren:kernal.eu> And some weed, few lines of coke /s

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> I was drinking it without taking in consideration you can get drunk

<siren:kernal.eu> ADHD

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Weed and coke? 🤣

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Ah say no more

<siren:kernal.eu> @slowbeardigger:matrix.org: youtu.be/42rHB72Bb1Q?t=22

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> I'm more of a weed alcohol benzo lsd mushroom kinda bear

<pw:xmr.mx> too busy sucking dick for his ego > <@siren:kernal.eu> Reminds me of that time in MK2023 where he made us wait as a group because he wanted to say hi to his other friend

<siren:kernal.eu> maybe they hit it off fr

<pw:xmr.mx> farting jizz bubbles

<slowbeardigger:matrix.org> 🤣
