<selsta> "nikg83: UkoeHB found another..." <- besides that is everything else ready?

r4v3r23[m]: well it depends on what ready means, code is ready, yes

<selsta> "r4v3r23: well it depends on what..." <- ready to take next steps towards actually hard forking

AFAIK the fee-change PR is what was holding up progress but thats since been solved

the plan was to fork in March, we are almost in April and its been 2 months since the last dev meeting - maybe its time to revisit and update the community on v18 status?

We can do another dev meeting on Saturday / Sunday.

ErCiccione: I think you managed the last one, do you have time again?

17 UTC? Sure. no problem

selsta: thx

pardon

does the deterministic build produce the same hash?

iow, can I build from source and verify the release version by comparing the hashes?

Yes.

My question to Monero Devs :... (full message at libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/do…631072ecf35fea0c28f5b45b545c3c36a33)

Already answered in #monero:monero.social

merope: Trying to get how monero devs feel about this

You'll get the exact same answer, but in a more annoyed tone. This room is for actual development talk

nahnahnah722828[: in a PoW network like Monero, fees incentivize miners to include txs in blocks. If miners did not get fees, then why would they bother spending bandwidth/computation on relaying and validating new txs?

<erciccione[m]> "17 UTC? Sure. no problem" <- is it Saturday or Sunday? selsta

I don'r care personally

whatever fits better for you ErCiccione

Is Sepharis getting implemented in the next hard fork ?

Seraphis*

nahnahnah722828[: No, seraphis is still wip

<nikg83[m]> "No, seraphis is still wip..." <- Any chance we’ll see Seraphis development done in the next 18 months ?

This is Seraphis feature is truly amazing and much needed : “New wallet tier allowing fast light wallet syncing with greater privacy than existing solutions.”

nahnahnah722828[: work is ongoing repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/290

* possibly

However one thing that I saw some Reddit users mention, was concerns with the increase in the blockchain size that Seraphis could bring, which would make downloading the whole blockchain too big for a lot of users once Monero grows even more
