  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Sounds good, is that the same method that zcash uses?
• 00:20
  m-relay
  <i​mprevisto:matrix.org> afaik it's not exactly, but they come from similar maths, developed with zcash
• 00:21
  m-relay
  <i​mprevisto:matrix.org> also I think one major point is with the maths - that interacting with them is computationally intensive
• 00:22
  m-relay
  <e​longated:matrix.org> Similar yes, but ztrash is not private by default
• 00:22
  m-relay
  <i​mprevisto:matrix.org> monerons also like making up witty neologisms free of charge
• 00:24
  m-relay
  <i​mprevisto:matrix.org> more memes from wow too

  m-relay
  <e​longated:matrix.org> Good luck to wow
• 00:25
  m-relay
  <i​mprevisto:matrix.org> they have a strict 'no mining in the pool' rule which holds the party back just enough
• 00:28
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> two more questions, if I may?
• 00:29
  m-relay
  <x​boxmierda:matrix.org> hey, sorry if I sound dumb, but why have there been so many reorganizes lately? has it been purely by chance or is something going on
• 00:32

  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> On your node?
• 00:33
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> A) you have a lot of connections
• 00:33
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> B) you are using an HDD
• 00:33
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> C) slow internet
• 00:33
  m-relay
  <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> D) slow computer

  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Until Monero stops relying on decoys, are Zcash's shielded transactions more private than Monero? I'm not trolling, just trying to figure out figure out which crypto to use.
• 00:37
  nioc
  virtually no one uses zcash

  ^ meaning... you can't hide standing in a dessert w/ no cover. where is the privacy? ffreedom-quester
• 01:17
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> nioc: why is that (Sorry for the late reply, I had a phone call)?
• 01:18
  m-relay
  <e​longated:matrix.org> Bcoz premined shitcoin with no default privacy, nobody uses ztrash and you will stand out if you try using shielded txs
• 01:19
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> okay, I'll use Monero then. 😃
• 01:20
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Is it feesable to run a node on a raspberry pi?
• 01:20
  m-relay
  <e​longated:matrix.org> Yes
• 01:21
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Cool! 😃
• 01:23
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Any idea, when the protocol change for droping the decoys will be?
• 01:24
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Any idea when the protocol change for dropping the decoys will be?
• 01:27
  nioc
  next year at the earliest
• 01:27
  nioc
  amounts are still hidden and the receiver is hidden
• 01:28
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Okay, thanks! 😃
• 01:29
  nioc
  the sender is where the decoys are used
• 01:29
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> thought so, thanks.
• 01:30
  nioc
  you're welcome
• 01:31
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> Do my matrix emoji's so up in irc? Test 😃
• 01:31
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> *show up
• 01:35
  nioc
  I see them
• 01:37
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> That's good 😃
• 02:21
  m-relay
  <f​reedom-quester:matrix.org> I think I have all I need for now, thank you all for time. 😄

  freedom-quester (I suppose, since 1st letter gets 'mangled' by relay bot): if you are going to use a flash memory, keep in mind to set it correctly to write as less as possible
• 06:42
  testone
  and, more importantly, ALWAYS enable ban list
• 06:42
  testone
  otherwise you'll get connected to fake peers and will get fake/corrupted data
• 06:43
  testone
  they should keep it enabled by default, IMHO

  <p​yxmr2025:matrix.org> How about add a blockchain status display module to MoneroGUI. monero-project/monero-gui #4447 ?
