18:49:04 <uncle_rae> illegal? o_0
18:49:38 <littlebobeep> cuz it is PoW
18:49:45 <littlebobeep> wasting CPU cycles lol
18:51:02 <littlebobeep> (d) Cryptocurrency mining operations running proof-of-work authentica-
18:51:02 <littlebobeep>  tion methods to validate blockchain transactions are an expanding indus-
18:51:02 <littlebobeep>  try in the State of New York; and
18:51:02 <littlebobeep>    (e)  The  continued  and  expanded  operation of cryptocurrency mining
18:51:02 <littlebobeep>  operations running  proof-of-work  authentication  methods  to  validate
18:51:10 <littlebobeep>  blockchain transactions will greatly increase the amount of energy usage
18:51:10 <littlebobeep>  in the state of New York, and impact compliance with the Climate Leader-
18:51:10 <littlebobeep>  ship and Community Protection Act.
19:08:36 <merope> Yeah, apparently New York is extremely idiotic when it comes to crypto regulation
19:08:58 <merope> Good thing we don't rely on specialized hardware, so good luck finding us! :D
19:28:14 <nioc> there are no NY regulated exchanges that carry monero
19:28:30 <nioc> monero is not illegal 
19:28:50 <nioc> and nothing to do with POW
19:29:15 <nioc> otherwise no btc
19:30:26 <nioc> they should ban the new nvidia 4000 series being released  lol
19:35:00 <merope> Monero is not illegal in NY, but PoW mining is, now
19:41:08 <nioc> hold on
19:41:15 <nioc> there is a knock on my door
19:42:10 <nioc> there were mining operations upstate using hydro
20:19:31 <Melissa> Sorry I fell, did you answer my question?
20:23:16 <nioc> did not see a question
20:44:58 <Melissa> If I create a wallet with "MONERO CAKE" and I give my address (QR code) to a customer and he/sh send me money
20:45:03 <Melissa> thy can se my ID?
20:45:10 <Melissa> can they see my ID?
20:50:43 <moneromooo> That question is unclear.
20:51:44 <moneromooo> If you give someone you address, they can see your address, obviously. The fact you give it as a QR code doesn't change that.
21:04:06 <Melissa> my IP adrss sorry
21:30:07 <moneromooo> Your IP address is not included in your address.
21:30:42 <moneromooo> Now, if you happen to give someone your address via email, it is possible a SMTP header would have your originating IP address.
21:56:58 <Melissa> great point, thanks
