01:54:27 <hyc> SCOTUS removing right to abortion. abortion pills may be next big thing on DNMs
01:55:17 <hyc> now's a good time to get more women onboard with monero
03:49:19 <littlebobeep> hyc: You can take pills for that?  what are they called?  I only heard of morning after pills
05:52:14 <narf> how good is monero
06:51:55 <Inge> define good
06:52:21 <riceandbeans> narf: It does what it's meant to do in a timely fashion. The only current competition is scrt, imo, but I don't really like the EVM partly because it sucks and partly because it vindicates Ethereum, which is a steaming pile of crap and a ponzi.

07:05:31 <littlebobeep> riceandbeans: what about MimbleWimble coins?
07:08:24 <Inge> MimbleWimble by itself is more a scalability fix than a privacy fix
07:09:05 <Inge> and brings its own set of challenges to maintain privacy. Beam have done some work to attempt to mitigate that, but I haven't seen much in the way of real research into it.
07:32:56 <littlebobeep> Inge: it seems to have untraceable transactions, no?
07:53:25 <Inge> littlebobeep: what does? MimbleWimble? or BEAM specifically?
13:32:24 <gingeropolous> they are untraceable on the blockchain. they are still traceable on the wire. i.e., it is still possible to trace with active surveillance littlebobeep 
13:34:40 <gingeropolous> so i think an effective "marketing" strategy, in due time, will be to go around to shops that have "bitcoin accepted here" on the fronts, and show them how their bitcoin activity is traceable.
13:35:14 <gingeropolous> i keep seeing that dude on bitcoin cash subreddit that goes around in some country or another onboarding bch to shops
15:12:31 <gingeropolous> ugh. i can only take so much of "write a function called string_finder" ...
15:26:09 <Smellyslab> how could you make your own currency using the monero source?
15:26:45 <selsta> search for other monero forks, look at their git history, look what they did
15:26:57 <selsta> you won't find a detailed tutorial
15:27:27 <Smellyslab> alright thanks!
15:27:40 <selsta> https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/2886/how-can-i-create-a-new-monero-genesis-block
15:28:32 <selsta> you will have to change some things in the cryptonote config and then create your genesis block
15:28:39 <selsta> and maybe more, no idea
15:34:13 <Smellyslab> what exactly would i change it to though?
15:34:30 <Smellyslab> like would i need to generate a genesis block using some script..?
15:34:54 <Smellyslab> if so can you possibly send me a link to a script like that or point me in the right direction?
15:36:52 <selsta> there is no script that i'm aware of
15:37:18 <Smellyslab> hmm
15:37:19 <Smellyslab> ok
15:37:22 <selsta> i already told you, compare a monero fork to monero and check what they changed
15:37:26 <Smellyslab> yeah
15:37:28 <Smellyslab> ill do that
15:37:36 <Smellyslab> but can you explain this
15:37:37 <Smellyslab>  0x12 ,0x30, 0xF1, 0x71 , 0x61, 0x04 , 0x41, 0x61, 0x17, 0x31, 0x00, 0x82, 0x16, 0xA1, 0xA1, 0x11
15:37:51 <Smellyslab> these are the items in a list creating something called the network ID
15:37:57 <Smellyslab> i assume i would need to edit these
15:38:09 <Smellyslab> so how would i figure out what to change them to
15:39:38 <selsta> read this https://github.com/monero-project/monero/blob/master/docs/LEVIN_PROTOCOL.md
15:40:40 <Smellyslab> ok thanks
15:40:51 <moneromooo> Unique 32 byte value. Pick any. It's used to tell "is this node one my own fork or not".
15:41:41 <Smellyslab> ok
16:26:11 <riceandbeans> I like the idea of mimblewimble, it sounds cool, also grin is written in rust and I'm kind of a rust evangelist so that's cool.
17:09:55 <glix> is this accurate guys? https://youtu.be/7-aTYyEVlNk
17:10:20 <glix> wanna get a status updated about monero after a long time..
17:10:44 <glix> s/updated/update
17:14:55 <selsta> what does this person claim?
17:17:27 <glix> selsta: he's just giving an overview of sorts
17:18:12 <glix> just wanted to catch up on monero after a long time, so wanted to know if this is a good video or the guy's just spewing out wrong info
17:25:14 <selsta> glix: he isn't too bad from what I read, but in general I'd be careful getting your info on youtube
17:25:24 <selsta> for cryptocurrencies at least
18:05:07 <riceandbeans> youtube quality has gone down so much since it turned into a lot of 'shocked face person, you won't believe what happened when I did this with that'
18:05:50 <riceandbeans> I used to go there to hear music but it's like if 4chan became a video club
18:08:01 <nioc> o_0
18:09:21 <nioc> as with everything there is signal in the noise 
18:10:08 <nioc> but yeah I don't get crypto info there 
19:43:53 <apotheon> nioc: Where *do* you get it?
