  <milas900:matrix.org> So carrot is bunded but what does it mean exactly !?
• 00:33
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> The new view keys work so well that every centralized entity will require them and only deal with Monero wallets that share their view key."
• 00:33
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> Is this statement correct ?
• 00:40
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr> No
• 00:41
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr> its not like having an eth address where you can see all activity just by tossing it into a block explorer. You'd have to sync all of the wallets that you want to monitor
• 00:52
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> @ofrnxmr: True but let’s say my aunt asked to view my transactions so by design I need to hand over my view key
• 00:52
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> Correct ?
• 00:52
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> At the current stage by design I can’t because there is no view key
• 00:52
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> Is this what I’m understanding correct ?
• 01:00
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @milas900:matrix.org: There is a view key currently
• 01:00
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> Okay so I’m even more confused
• 01:01
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Currently you can hand over your view key and your key images
• 01:01
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> So what’s this carrot then?
• 01:01
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> so people can
• 01:01
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> 1. See your incoming txs (incoming viee key)
• 01:01
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> 2. See your outgoing txs (key images)
• 01:01
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> 3. Know if you withheld any key images
• 01:02
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> @milas900:matrix.org: Carrot includes OUTGOING view keys
• 01:02
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> What’s outgoing view keys. Where I can read more about it
• 01:03
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> So to accomplish the same using a carrot wallet, you dont have to provide key images
• 01:04
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> theres a few places to read about it, but the non-technical explanation is really quite simple
• 01:06
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> * Current view wallet: can see incoming txs. Requires key images to be imported to see outgoing.
• 01:06
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> * Outgoing view wallet: can see incoming snd outgoing. The exact same info that youd see if you restored from seed. Only difference is that you cant spend (you dont have a spend key)
• 01:06
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Exact same info = amounts in + amounts out + txids
• 01:43
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> Didn’t get it
• 01:43
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> So currently there is view keys
• 01:43
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> That can show only incoming
• 01:43
  br-m
  <milas900:matrix.org> But we are building another view so we can show also outgoing transactions ?
• 02:27
  br-m
  <elongated:matrix.org> To show your correct wallet balance and not just incoming txs, which shows a wrong balance and is impossible to create txs without key images.
• 02:29
  br-m
  <ofrnxmr> @milas900:matrix.org: you could say that, but its also to avoid bringing a spend wallet online just to view correct balances

  snake
  yeah it will be a good feature for hardware wallets too
