04:40:32 I didn't know the Silver Surfer was into Monero, but it makes sense given his devotion to freedom. 17:31:26 A lot was asked about the fate of Monero on Reddit after Litecoin starts its Mimblewimble sidechain 17:31:54 I just looked at the corresponding block explorer - does not look like we have much to fear yet: https://www.mwebexplorer.com/blocks 18:23:26 rbrunner, mass adoption is real. 18:26:51 Litecoin has always been all hat and no cowboy 18:36:16 As a dev I would probably feel a bit sad: I think that Litecoin Mimblewimble sidechain is solid engineering, and now it could get ignored to death. 21:10:02 dunno what's the point of investing any effort in a dud tech like mimblewimble 21:11:33 mimblewimble is cool 21:12:08 why? anyone choosing to archive historical txns can unravel it 21:12:38 at that point it's no better than any other transparent blockchain tech 21:13:53 https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2022/08/27/sec-questions-grayscales-legal-stance-on-stellar-zcash-and-horizen-crypto-trusts/ 21:14:11 I wonder if their dev tax will get Zcash into trouble 21:14:39 hyc: it has at least hidden tx amounts compared to Bitcoin, but the cool thing is that you can fully validate a pruned blockchain 21:16:47 hidden tx amounts don't mean much as a sidechain, if the mainchain is transparent 21:19:35 founder rewards for zec sound an awful lot like a stock offering... 21:20:50 so it's likely they'll shutdown that trust, but it only totalled $40M anyway, no big deal 21:31:57 I guess it gets interesting if that means SEC goes after ECC for breaking securities laws 22:11:35 selsta the dev tax i think definitely makes them legally complicit for anything that happens on chain. I think that's why the guy in NL got picked up 22:32:40 NorrinRadd: not clear regarding NL, they didn't charge him yet 22:33:51 perhaps only because they don't have to 22:34:08 LE will usually hold you as long as legally possible before making a move
