00:48:40 even with all these hacks bybit is not the first hack they have done 00:48:44 and not the last 03:01:20 For those uninformed, let me be clear: Don’t get your hopes up for Serai. Luke Parker will never release it, and it’s highly unlikely he will. 03:01:47 Even if the audits succeed, there’s so much more that needs to be done, including the frontend and JSON-RPC for nodes. He has a history of scamming people, as demonstrated by his coin, MerosCrypto. He created and heavily promoted it with interviews similar to Serai, only to disappear without a trace and abandon the project. Does this sound familiar? 03:02:29 MerosCrypto, abandoned by Luke Parker: 03:02:30 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5129084.0 03:05:37 The delay in releasing the audits, despite their completion, raises serious concerns. There's been a lack of transparency. We need to approach Luke Parker with caution moving forward. The Monero community is experiencing a concerning pattern of mismanagement, and we need greater accountability. 03:06:25 The delay in releasing the audits, despite their completion, raises serious concerns.

Did someone fart? 05:39:17 oh maybe its this thorchain truther that just entered the chat 06:05:39 1) I have no idea why that's there. I'd most guess it's due to a recent tweet from someone in the THORChain community but it may be someone who harasses me for other reasons. I apologize for the spillover into a Monero room 06:05:40 2) Meros was no ICO, no premine, no donations so it couldn't have been a scam 06:05:42 3) What completed audits specifically am I being accused of withholding? I announced today a review came back and at the time, the authors had yet to publish it. Is it seriously the review I was only sent today I'm being accused of withholding? For the grand period of 14h since I was made aware of it?? 06:31:09 no need to apologize. Not your fault that crazy people do crazy stuff. :D 07:30:42 @kayabanerve:matrix.orgwhy did you mention thor-chain???? 07:48:20 >jpthor was right! 09:29:42 <3​21bob321:monero.social> Hmmm 09:59:15 Can anybody explain to me why on bisq there are sellers selling btc at a discount? 10:00:29 maybe it's high risk btc, with high aml score? 10:00:29 if the other currency is xmr, perhaps it's not a "discount". checked haveno.markets? 10:00:49 knownsec: 10:01:16 This doesn't make sense, selling your btc for some sketchy source fiat 10:01:31 And I think it is bank transfer 10:01:53 This doesn't make sense, selling your btc for some sketchy source fiat, there are way better deals to swap your btc to xmr 10:01:57 sorry, i mentioned the wrong nick 10:02:38 like rotten said, maybe it's lazarus 10:03:04 lots of dirty btc out there right now 10:16:48 Due to the tainted nature of the BTC, it’s impossible to sell it on centralized exchanges if the source is questionable. These exchanges will freeze your account and demand to know the source of the funds. If the BTC was stolen by Lazarus, they won’t be able to answer this question, so they sell it at a discount and launder it through fiat. 10:21:49 Converting XMR to fiat is significantly more difficult than converting BTC to fiat, given the amount of $ held by Lazarus.
