00:41:22 Maybe an old question, but how anonymous is monero today? 00:42:24 pretty damned private 00:42:30 s/private/anonymous/ 00:42:34 whatevs 00:43:03 kraz0r: In general, it seems that some pretty minimal opsec will keep your transactions anonymous. 00:43:28 e.g. don't tell people about them, use Tor, use software that isn't shitty for your privacy 01:08:33 Monero = most advanced cryptography coin on the internet. Somebody say I'm wrong.. 01:10:59 this phone I'm typing on was payed for with Monero 01:11:50 Internet cash 01:13:52 No names/address/phone#/credit card#/email that will be in another data breach needed. 01:23:00 the internet/world wide web is obsolete now anyways. Too many people on this thing, it wasn't prepared for billions of people/devices all logging on and buying shit online. 01:24:51 the current standard protocols of Feb 2022 anyways. 01:25:05 Fork the internet, 01:26:11 Or just turn it off. Remember there is a power button, or there should be.. lol 01:33:44 how to IRC w/o interweb? 01:37:21 IRC is like the ham radio of the internet 01:38:07 just don't use http protocol, and you're fine 01:40:04 I remember telnet'ing friends/family, call their PC direct live chat 01:40:35 you could see each other typing and correcting typos in real time 01:41:42 We had to call the internet, anyone remember? L 01:43:52 You would be offline, then have to logon to the internet by phone. now it's just on all the time. Trip 01:44:17 yes the wonderful modem sounds 01:45:17 Soothing. I have a collection of diff modem handshakes etc. 01:49:21 I once played dialup modem sound to a friend, he's younger (whatever the next generation before millenials is or something) 01:50:06 He cringed and begged me to turn the sound off immediately. lol 01:50:41 oh the exciting anticipation 01:50:48 yzyz 01:51:40 The newb generations will never know that feeling.. 01:52:59 no dial tone around either 01:53:56 I've been using irc since the 90’s. Still works fine. 02:00:37 we could be using a 56k or 33.6k Dialup connection and this would still work fine, 02:41:22 (totally shameless but related plug) https://superhighway84.com 02:55:02 mrus: looks kinda cool. I might try it out later. 02:57:16 Too many on the "To Do" list. Not sure if some will ever get "Done" 02:57:50 fi 03:02:28 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 03:06:59 yolo 03:18:33 * Mochi101 sets up a BBS system and a FidoNet node. 03:19:04 hmmm... I guess "system" is redundant... 03:19:36 Still working on a issue from the dawn of eCommerce, "How do you insert a cash paper bill into a home PC to purchase items on the World Wide Web?" 03:24:03 I have a scan of a usd$20 I sent to my friend's website to pay for my cart. Transaction didn't work. 03:28:50 https://www.databreachtoday.com/ 04:03:36 overdue on the bills, buys booze instead 08:06:31 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. 08:06:31 One of the things i want to explain is gamma... 08:06:31 In the pedersen commitments it is said : 08:06:31 H = 8 ∗ to point(H_n (G)) 08:06:31 This implies that there is a γ such that : 08:06:33 H = γG . 08:06:35 And there is no monerian that knows γ . 08:06:39 Because it is calculated through a hash function... 08:06:41 I would like to expose the implications of knowing γ . 08:06:43 I was told that knowing γ lets you forge xmr. This is, 08:06:45 print xmr out of thin air. 08:06:47 Can someone help me please ? 08:06:49 I am very persistent and i am already finished with the translation, except 08:06:51 footnotes and lifting semantic errors here and there.
