11:29:48 <ro1m> Good morning
11:44:14 <br-m> <xorchi2:matrix.org> ro1m: Good evening from UTC + 7
11:45:13 <ro1m> Good morning from UTC - 4
12:37:56 <ro1m> There's so many pending-review PRs, when is next release planned?
12:38:12 <ro1m> I assume at least after this is cleared up? https://github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/10545
12:41:12 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> That list may continue to grow indefinitely
12:41:28 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Release comes when release is warranted
12:41:34 <ro1m> What warrants a release?
12:42:02 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> could release quickly due to a dependency securoty update, could release quickly due to a regression
12:42:15 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Could release slowly because everything is superficial
12:42:46 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> Releases are typically bug fixes. Were obv not going to rush a release due to spelling errors and micro optimizations
12:44:36 <br-m> <ofrnxmr:xmr.mx> thered no hard rule about when to release. We release when weve included some good amount or good quality bugfixes
12:44:45 <ro1m> makes sense

14:25:52 <br-m> <john_xmr:matrix.org> Hey Monero bro!
14:25:52 <br-m> <john_xmr:matrix.org> I’m John, a long-time XMR miner and privacy advocate based in France. While Monero has a solid online presence, I want to push for more real-world visibility here in French streets and cities.
14:25:52 <br-m> <john_xmr:matrix.org> Guerrilla marketing works. There's nothing quite like seeing the Monero logo out in the wild to spark curiosity and get everyday people looking into real digital cash.[... more lines follow, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/0Pmzo4ULUlItR3Zw ]
14:26:37 <ro1m> How long is "long-term"?
14:26:53 <br-m> <hbs:matrix.org> @john_xmr:matrix.org: France or ... Paris?
14:28:23 <Cindy> Colorado or... Denver?
14:28:53 <ro1m> john_alan time is money
14:28:57 <ro1m> john_xmr*
14:44:31 <br-m> <john_xmr:matrix.org> Haha, definitely NOT just Paris! I'm based in the Isère region (near Lyon / Bourgoin-Jallieu), so the stickers are going to hit regional cities and rural areas too. Paris gets enough attention, we need true geographical decentralization for this campaign!
14:45:31 <ro1m> @john_xmr:matrix.org: How long is "long-term"? " I’m John, a long-time XMR miner...."
14:50:28 <br-m> <john_xmr:matrix.org> I might not be a 2014 OG, but I've been holding and actively CPU mining for a while to support the RandomX decentralization. Currently pushing hashes on a 10-core Apple Silicon M5 via MoneroOcean! It’s all about supporting the network and the privacy ethos. ⛏️
14:51:51 <ro1m> @john_xmr:matrix.org Interesting... and... you are mining on a laptop?
15:05:07 <br-m> <john_xmr:matrix.org> Yes, but it's an Apple Silicon M5 ARM. The performance-per-watt ratio on RandomX is insane compared to x86. I’m not running it 24/7 on battery either; it's on a dedicated external ventilated stand to keep thermals strictly under control. The setup is clean. 💻❄️
15:19:21 <br-m> <jbabb:cypherstack.com> What software are you using to mine, @john_xmr:matrix.org?
16:30:22 <sech1> john_xmr are you mining on macbook air? What's the hashrate and power at the wall?
16:40:39 <br-m> <john_xmr:matrix.org> @Josh Babb I'm using XMRig connected to the MoneroOcean pool. @sech1 It's a MacBook Pro, not an Air (active cooling is mandatory!). I'm pushing around 5,000 H/s (5 KH/s). I don't have a wattmeter at the wall right now, but it's Apple Silicon magic, so it barely sips power compared to a standard x86 rig.
