00:44:23 <br-m> <pw:xmr.mx> blocking social media for under 15s? why the care? 🤨
00:51:20 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> More importantly, what the fuck does this have to do with monero workgroups?
00:51:21 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Lil sis needs to take ts to #monero-offtopic:monero.social
00:54:34 <br-m> <pw:xmr.mx> weird
00:55:41 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Also, bro likes doxxing ppls locations

13:43:31 <br-m> <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
13:43:50 <br-m> <syntheticbird> 👍️
13:44:56 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> i think he'd squeal before they even pulled out the wrench
13:45:41 <br-m> <pyxmr2025:mozilla.org> @ofrnxmr:monero.social: hi,they’ve fixed the issue with C3Pool; I forgot to tell you.
13:45:51 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: short squeal short info. whoever would stop early is an amateur
13:46:13 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @syntheticbird: lmao well it's public info I'm from france too
13:46:25 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: well its in your name so
13:46:56 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> yeah lol I wouldn't have thought few from france
13:53:59 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @pyxmr2025:mozilla.org: Oh ok, thanks 🙏
13:59:07 <br-m> <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?
13:59:24 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: oh go
14:00:11 <br-m> <syntheticbird> I just joined the community when there was the drama around fluffypony and honestly it felt thermonuclear
14:00:33 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> since when does anyone trust anyone
14:00:37 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> well know I wanna know more lol
14:00:48 <br-m> <jpk68:matrix.org> Is this person like fireice-uk? I don't know about this either
14:01:21 <br-m> <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
14:01:40 <br-m> <syntheticbird> you gotta ask older people
14:01:43 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> ok
14:02:45 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> tldr: there are old wallets and accounting doesnt add up. The end
14:03:17 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: harassement
14:04:21 <br-m> <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
14:05:05 <br-m> <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
14:06:00 <br-m> <syntheticbird> wouldn't happen if I was core
14:06:07 <br-m> <syntheticbird> the drama i mean
14:06:11 <br-m> <syntheticbird> I would have stole the money
14:06:21 <br-m> <syntheticbird> and just assume it
14:06:35 <br-m> <syntheticbird> jk
14:06:52 <br-m> <syntheticbird> thats a good way to be an asshole and get yourself shot
14:06:59 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> that's the reason you want to stay anon I get it now
14:07:34 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> fluffy isnt anon
14:08:04 <br-m> <syntheticbird> he was talking of me
14:08:11 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> probably one of the only part of the monero core or dev teams that has made the news
14:08:14 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> yeah but he hasn't contributed since 2020 seems like
14:08:18 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> i know
14:08:32 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> im just saying, why steal anonymously, if you can be famous for doing it publicly?
14:08:36 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: aka he left
14:08:42 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: that's deep
14:08:48 <br-m> <syntheticbird> just like GF wallet
14:08:54 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> nah, he was contributing during discussions around qubic reorgs
14:09:18 <br-m> <syntheticbird> oh yeah i remember
14:09:20 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> after he was arrested, he stepped down as maintainer 
14:09:24 <br-m> <syntheticbird> it draw a lot of unrelated comments lol
14:09:36 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: in south africa right ?
14:09:44 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: another sussy affair lmao
14:10:56 <br-m> <syntheticbird> nothing sussy about tax fraud
14:11:02 <br-m> <syntheticbird> supposedly
14:11:31 <br-m> <syntheticbird> https://github.com/fluffypony/dothething/commit/a13574fe0889e93164ed0cc207127da673693523
14:11:37 <br-m> <syntheticbird> latest activity from fluffypony btw
14:11:46 <br-m> <syntheticbird> bro's living his life
14:12:05 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> AI maxxi
14:12:06 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> what tax fraud > <@syntheticbird> nothing sussy about tax fraud
14:13:09 <br-m> <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
14:13:15 <br-m> <jpk68:matrix.org> https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/matrix.org/xbKFQteTCUKMDxDykWfOrNTP.png (clipboard.png)
14:13:17 <br-m> <jpk68:matrix.org> Funny number!
14:13:18 <br-m> <syntheticbird> or did I just hallucinated this shit
14:13:20 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> he was arrested for invoice fraud
14:13:40 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> allegedly he worked for old employer and gave clients fake invoices and pocketed the difference
14:13:42 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: invoice huh
14:13:51 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: ah got it
14:14:00 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> allegedly
14:14:19 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @jpk68:matrix.org: lmfao
14:14:36 <br-m> <syntheticbird> young degenerates are gonna brainrot this project
14:14:55 <br-m> <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?
14:15:06 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: one advice
14:15:18 <br-m> <syntheticbird> stop wondering about core, you'll have headaches
14:15:29 <br-m> <syntheticbird> trust me
14:16:01 <br-m> <jpk68:matrix.org> You can still have a "core team" with a less dumb model
14:16:25 <br-m> <jpk68:matrix.org> Bitcoin Core seems to be extremely well maintained, though such an approach may be too susceptible to being infiltrated or whatnot
14:17:19 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: who told you that its in cold storage?
14:17:37 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> and yes, the generalfund DOES partially fund upgrades etc
14:17:54 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> i think like 600/2000 xmr was donated to the fcmp research ccs from it, as an example
14:18:05 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @jpk68:matrix.org: susceptible to being infiltrated ? Its already infiltrated
14:18:08 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> and often dev proposals are 30% funded by the generalfund
14:18:15 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: nice
14:18:31 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> Gm monero fam
14:18:35 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> what’s the drama today?
14:18:39 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> hotse are just 2 examples. you can look at binaryfate's gitlab activityto see when he sends funds
14:18:47 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> claude 💀 and it cited monero.town which is down > <@ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> who told you that its in cold storage?
14:18:47 <br-m> <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
14:19:23 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> claude is retarded
14:19:35 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: truth nuke
14:19:36 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: indeed
14:19:58 <br-m> <jpk68:matrix.org> Claude is so useful for learning languages (i.e. not programming languages)
14:20:06 <br-m> <jpk68:matrix.org> Your trvke has been rendered invalid
14:20:10 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> anways figure is pretty close?
14:21:42 <br-m> <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.
14:22:00 <br-m> <syntheticbird> that's as simple as that
14:24:37 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> yeah though I haven't criticized anyone
14:25:09 <br-m> <thomasbuilds:matrix.org> but you know when you spend many h of your life doing something you want to know the background of it
14:25:19 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @thomasbuilds:matrix.org: rightfully yes
14:25:51 <br-m> <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
14:38:55 <nioc> an old bookmark that might explain things https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fbs9mwyf89x3z.jpg
14:41:16 <br-m> <syntheticbird> is that a pony ,
14:59:52 <br-m> <pw:xmr.mx> at the front, yes.
15:00:17 <br-m> <pw:xmr.mx> dog at the back
15:12:29 <br-m> <c99e:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: AI only amplifies 
15:12:45 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @c99e:matrix.org: a ceo once said these were neural accelerator
15:12:54 <br-m> <syntheticbird> he is out of the line but he is right
15:14:29 <br-m> <c99e:matrix.org> It's also the reason why: https://blog.florianherrengt.com/ai-removing-middle-class-software-engineering.html
15:17:07 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @c99e:matrix.org: what an armagedeon of common sense wtf
17:47:11 <br-m> <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.
18:46:09 <br-m> <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.
18:50:02 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @dark.macau:matrix.org: Our relation is unidirectional
18:51:25 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @dark.macau:matrix.org: In a pineapple under the sea
21:35:28 <br-m> <321bob321> @dark.macau:matrix.org: Under a bridge
22:02:49 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> So he knows where a bunch of you lives
22:03:04 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> And y'all doesn't know where he lives?
22:03:40 <br-m> <syntheticbird> @slowbeardigger:matrix.org: just like there needs to be someone sober for everyone being alcoholic
22:03:54 <br-m> <syntheticbird> we need someone secret for everyone of us public
22:04:30 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> Is he the sober one?
22:05:49 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> 💀
22:15:32 <br-m> <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
22:15:36 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> Mf never came back
22:16:15 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> ah Rotten
22:16:54 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: and this, makes complete sense, taking in consideration his roots
22:16:59 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> A lot of people from the same place have the same pattern
22:27:21 <nioc> are you sure it was 2023?
22:27:46 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> 24* when we went to the irish pub
22:29:58 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> I can't remember if we stopped elsewhere before and I had tartare. I was too smashed.
22:33:32 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> i have ptsd from jagermeister and german speaking twins
22:40:23 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Jager is so good
22:41:07 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> Terrible to have 5 shots of it after 10 beers throughout the day and some cocktails
22:41:30 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> Once I drank a whole bottle working on a project, when I standed up...
22:41:54 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> Rip
22:42:05 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Sounds like a good starter
22:42:20 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Nah, I was dizzy but was surprised
22:42:21 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> And some weed, few lines of coke /s
22:42:41 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> I was drinking it without taking in consideration you can get drunk
22:42:49 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> ADHD
22:43:07 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Weed and coke? 🤣
22:43:28 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> @siren:kernal.eu: Ah say no more
22:46:37 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> @slowbeardigger:matrix.org: https://youtu.be/42rHB72Bb1Q?t=22
22:47:44 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> I'm more of a weed alcohol benzo lsd mushroom kinda bear
23:09:21 <br-m> <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
23:10:00 <br-m> <siren:kernal.eu> maybe they hit it off fr
23:13:07 <br-m> <pw:xmr.mx> farting jizz bubbles
23:13:35 <br-m> <slowbeardigger:matrix.org> 🤣
