<zubairu:matrix.org> Howdy fellas 🤠 > <chinnu> Hi

Cindy_
I wonder if the monero: URI schema can be registered with IANA
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> that only makes sense for Windows
-
Cindy_
gan: What about GANA payto registry?
-
Cindy_
This isn't about Windows btw lol. This has to do with a new standard about requiring payment in XMPP
-
Cindy_
Initially the standard would maintain its own registry for payment types, but due to concerns (mostly just people wanting their shitcoin to appear on it), the registry was offloaded to the IANA and GNUnet registry
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Similar for RFC8905, handling of them depends on a system-provided URI handler and potentially its dispatcher
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> None of that requires registration per se, for example, I believe obsidian (
obsidian.md/help/uri) is unregistered, while steam
iana.org/assignments/uri-schemes/prov/steam is
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> That's even less relevant because that should be up to the client, XMPP as a protocol shouldn't be concerned about that, unless they have a specific XEP which recommends a set
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Cindy_: GNUNet as a project is against cryptocurrencies as a whole, good luck with that
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Interesting that the RFC doesn't really target GNU Taler
-
Cindy_
I mean yeah, the ProtoXEP has switched to a generic URI (and not a payment type with all the details in it)
-
Cindy_
But the standardization is important for parsing details off the URI
-
Cindy_
gan: Also GNUnet registry interestingly has ETH in it
-
Cindy_
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> I see no use in it largerly, magnet existed for ages before receiving any assignment from IANA
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> to not mention that majority of XMPP clients determine clickability of a link based off author's vibe and shattered dreams
-
Cindy_
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Huh, interesting, perhaps I shat myself informationally-speaking
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Maybe after LynX moved on, Grothoff became more open to it
-
Cindy_
To be quite honest, I'm just curious if you could get away with publishing a payto:// schema standard for Monero to GANA
-
Cindy_
:P
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Looks like they don't exactly require a formal proposal with the big players?
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> at least, judging from
gana.gnunet.org/about.html#history
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> So, indeed, maybe they should be email about incorporating Monero then
-
Cindy_
Also this is how the ProtoXEP looks like, just so you know (and I know it looks AI sloppish, blame the author):
xmpp.org/extensions/inbox/payment-required.html#usecase-muc
-
Cindy_
You're given an error with options that have a link URI inside them
-
Cindy_
(and a label about what they're supposed to be)
-
Cindy_
Ideally clients should be able to parse them to show the actual amount if they could
-
Cindy_
Instead of having the user click and wait to be able to see the actual amount from their wallet app
-
Cindy_
So yeah, it would be nice if the URIs were standardized
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Perhaps so
-
Cindy_
Also the author, for some reason, REALLY likes Lightning
-
Cindy_
I don't really know why
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Eh, probably because it at least makes bitcoin usable, I guess?
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> You can always ask the Nostr crowd 🧌
-
Cindy_
Lol
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> If having to keep like 5-6 different open channel is required to make bitcorn usable...
-
br-m
<ravfx:xmr.mx> send a LN payment, thing try 75 different routes until it find one that work!

"Adding records is possible after expert review"
-
Cindy_
Expert review?
-
Cindy_
Do they mean GNUnet/Taler experts? or Monero experts
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Good question with no answers
-
br-m
<gan:skhron.org> Probably somebody need to shoot up an email to seek clarification on that
