Who governs least governs best.

Monero is a tool for enforcing less governing of people's lives.

okay

As Henry David Thoreau put it:

I heartily accept the motto, – “That government is best which governs least”; and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which I also believe, – “That government is best which governs not at all”; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but

an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.

I think he'd be pretty positive about Monero.

I see, you are using IRC client instead of Matrix. Massive respect for that.

Thanks . . . ?

sorry, out of the blue, but I've been rather discouraged from participating in #monero due to the matrix long message text files that would get posted here

(I might use Matrix more if I liked any of the clients.)

Oh, I see.

Yeah, I do find those long message pastes from Matrix kinda annoying, too. They're more a "feature" of the Matrix bridge than of Matrix itself, though, as I understand it.

. . . or, at least, I think an improved matrix bridge could make it less annoying.

I don't think I've seen one of those long message pastes for a while in here, though. Maybe I just wasn't paying attention at the right times to see them.

I see. that's good to hear, I'll spend more time here then

Any reason this channel is not bridged to Matrix by the way?

hi im trying the check transaction function on the windows gui

i enter tx id, address and tx proof (signature)

then click check and nothing happens

i tried xmrchain.net/prove and output match was false for 2 outputs

exploremonero.com said there is no matching output

how did i send funds incorrectly?

narf: Are you trying to prove a transaction you sent or a transaction that you are expected to receive?

trying to prove i sent

Can you use that guide?

Results: Total received: 0

xmrchain.net/prove says "Sum XMR from matched outputs (i.e., incoming XMR): 0.000000000000"

To be clear, you used the recipient address and the private tx key (not the view key)?

yes

Which OS are you using?

windows 10

Perhaps worthwhile to check for clipboard malware? Quite prevalent in crypto

im running malwarebytes so it should be fine

it's never fine

all antiviruses are scam

ive quadruple checked the receiving address

This address doesn't own output 0 with pubkey: 30ce996113770e9423c836e4b376... for amount: Confidential

Ongoing train wreck over at fork XHV (Haven Protocol) which aims to build stablecoins on top of the Monero codebase:

Seems they intend to roll back the blockchain a still undetermined number of blocks

And then this gem at then end of the Medium article: "We are offering 20,000 xUSD bounties for introductions to any developers who ultimately accept a full time offer with Haven and stay committed for at least three months."

rbrunner: what happened to XHV?

Best read the Medium article I linked.

Do you have it in any log?

rbrunner: just read it. yeah, it is a train wreck

I wonder how shit their code is in comparison to that of monero

looks like they wrote it in C++, so perhaps their code isn't low quality, they just don't have enough experienced devs

I imagine what they try / tried is quite hard, and they had nowhere to check how to do it I guess, so maybe it's not that surprising

question: are IRC users of cryptocurrency channels also spammed with scammers, just like Discord and Reddit users are?

not as much as discord, reddit or telegram

the severity of the issue depends on the channel

16:10 < PapuaHardyNet> looks like they wrote it in C++, so perhaps their code isn't low quality, they just don't have enough experienced devs

How does "they wrote it in C++" mean it's not low quality code?

I must be missing something.

I'd expect that the reason they wrote it in C++ is the simple fact the Monero codebase is C++.

xmr is the only true cryptocurrency

I kinda wish it had a smell, like real cash. lol

nobody has coded the sense of smell yet

I wouldn't go sniffing too much USD cash if I was you.

Basically all cash that has been in circulation for a few months has fecal matter on it.

. . . and maybe some cocaine.

also, cocaine. making for a tough decision as to whether to sniff or not

I heard something like 70% of all cash has cocaine residue on it..

90% for US bills

It turns out that number was inflated, and it has probably come down (har) since then, but it's still a lot.

moreso with 100$'s

or maybe the 90% was the inflated number, and 70% is more accurate

. . . but fecal matter is still about 98%, just like how 98% of most statistics are made up.

maybe they just tested cartel cash

germs are good for you

I think they were testing a (slightly less obviously) biased sampling, like maybe all money seized as evidence or something like that.

s/money/cash/

luckily, there's a currency that cannot be tainted by anything :)

except mass media?

ndorf: indeed

We're talking about knowledge of OpenBSD -- right?

the untaintable currency

Hmm. Maybe ndorf meant Monero.

hehe

I actually used monero to donate to an app developer the other day. better than payfail

that payment processing corporation that holds your money hostage..

monero doesn't do that

cash hasn't smelled good since they updated the inks decades ago

I ate rocks as a kid so I rarely get sick
