  I am currently still translating zero to monero to portuguese. It is not only translating but also exposing the protocol the best i can in verbatim terms.

  One of the things i want to explain is gamma...
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  In the pedersen commitments it is said :
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  H = 8 ∗ to point(H_n (G))
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  This implies that there is a γ such that :
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  H = γG .
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  And there is no monerian that knows γ .
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  Because it is calculated through a hash function...
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  I would like to expose the implications of knowing γ .
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  I was told that knowing γ lets you forge xmr. This is,
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  print xmr out of thin air.
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  Can someone help me please ?

  slave_blocker2
  I am very persistent and i am already finished with the translation, except
• 08:07
  slave_blocker2
  footnotes and lifting semantic errors here and there.

  I have a problem with GetMonero.org
• 16:40

  A lot of people I know cannot speak English, and the default language isn't the browser language, but it's English. This is a big issue against Monero's adoption.

  I would think even people who don't speek English will recognize the word "English" in the language selector at the top of right corner of the page
• 16:57

  some websites will use country flag icons instead of words for their language selector, but most of them require th user to manually change it

  e.g. my browser's primary language is en-US. when I browse to www.amazon.de it displays in German. there is an English version of the page, but I have to select it myself.

  <hyc> "e.g. my browser's primary..." <- 😅 it actually displayed in English for me
