10:23:16 Who handles Monero Outreach? It's time to put it to good use and push RandomX malware detection to AV companies: https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer#randomx-sniffer 10:25:19 We need some nicely written article with e-mail template, so community can send individual e-mails to their AV vendors' support. 10:30:26 xmrhaelan ? 11:41:46 Might also be a good idea to include this software in the vulnerability response website somewhere 11:52:00 Maybe also a good idea to reach out to blogs that analyze malware/botnets 12:17:52 A contributors created a nice lit of answers/questions for the FAQ on getmonero. A feedback from the community workgroup would be appreciated: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/monero-site/issues/994#note_7874 13:49:07 sech1 and selsta Monero Outreach is primarily made up of designers and writers. Since we do not have any developers actively involved who can “speak the language” to other developers we have so far refrained from doing that sort of outreach. We would love to have some developers on the team who could help us move in that direction though... :) 13:52:34 Basically we do not want to engage with outside entities without having Monero devs weigh in on the message we send and be available to answer whatever questions arise. 14:07:32 But if we have that technical input/review...putting togather a page and making the multipart MIME bodies is no problem. We'll take this as an opportunity to make all the malware response stuff more visible on our site in general. 15:36:25 ErCiccione[m]: the line between what is good for the blog/moneropedia/faq is often murky, but I think questions along the line of "what is x" most clearly belong in the moneropedia 15:37:31 We should link the moneropedia under the faq page if it isn't already 15:39:19 I agree. I think a single faq voice saying "What is x?" "Check the moneropedia for info about monero terminology $link" 15:39:51 sgp_ i'm not sure if there is already a link. btw please leave a comment on the issue :) 15:40:31 ErCiccione[m]: that may be a good idea. let me log in to gitlab on this computer 15:45:12 -xmr-pr- [css-proposals] jtgrassie opened pull request #107: add RandomXmasThanks proposal 15:45:12 -xmr-pr- > https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/merge_requests/107 15:47:11 ErCiccione[m]: added a comment 15:47:31 Thanks :) 16:02:24 jtgrassie, just for the record, and this has already been lost in the fast history of crypto, it was some random reddit user that proposed doing random javascript as a PoW. Of course, it was just an idea, and the other folks actually made it happen. But i remember that dude messaged me on reddit and was like "wtf?" 16:05:08 gingeropolous: last line of my post https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/8bshrx/what_we_need_to_know_about_proof_of_work_pow/ 16:05:09 [REDDIT] What We Need to Know about Proof of Work (PoW) (self.Monero) | 148 points (98.0%) | 101 comments | Posted by hyc_symas | Created at 2018-04-12 - 18:34:20 16:06:09 yep! I know you've attributed the thought seed, but it gets lost in the grapevine 16:07:33 yeah 16:08:01 Nice 16:08:07 well, I've done what I could to give credit where it's due 16:09:31 yep, im not discounting that or all of your work, im just hoping to get the story straight so all the random people with hairbrained ideas will keep posting their hairbrained ideas :) 16:09:44 ;) 16:15:49 rehrar: is mrw.getmonero.org code available anywhere to edit? We should add the randomx sniffer info somewhere 16:18:47 found it https://repo.getmonero.org/rehrar/malware-response-project 16:21:39 ErCiccione[m]: how can I add a banner that says something like "sysadmins: detect mining malware with this free, open-source tool" https://github.com/tevador/randomx-sniffer 16:23:07 You mean for getmonero? I wouldn't use a banner. Those are more apprioprate for warnings. Maybe a blog post? 16:30:47 for the mrw.getmonero.org site 16:50:41 yes, just for that subdomain 17:17:12 Looks like Zcash beat us to the punch in Cwtch adoption: https://twitter.com/SarahJamieLewis/status/1201872891442188288 17:17:12 [ Sarah Jamie Lewis on Twitter: "It is 6:30 AM in Vancouver and not my usual wake up time, but there is exciting @OpenPriv news! The main, big one is that we received a 1044 ZEC donation from @ZcashFou ] - twitter.com 17:18:49 what is cwtch? 17:20:34 +1 17:20:35 ah read it. cool 17:21:02 Almost 30k USD, not bad 18:03:31 gingeropolous: in fairness the idea of random code execution for pow indeed had other people theorizing, but nobody took it to the same lengths that hyc, tevador & sech1 did. 19:24:29 yes, I made that point to u/conniedoit before too. I thanked them for the idea, but I was the one who actually wrote a working prototype/PoC that we could actually analyze 19:40:15 https://getmonero.org/2019/12/03/core-team-general-fund.html <- when is the first report coming out? ping ArticMine binaryFate 20:03:51 OpenPriv takes donations in XMR too though :P 20:04:37 you can't beat the record unless Sarah makes another tweet and gives up on untraceability for popularity and beating zcash foundation. 20:04:58 yo nioc pull up your stashed 300M xmr wallet for a scientific experiment... 22:38:57 sgp_: as I said on reddit I think EoY makes sense. Open to opinions. 23:53:10 hey so, I'm having trouble with the daemon rn 23:54:36 When I start the GUI I'm getting the error where it tries to start the daemon, but that times out and it says daemon failed to start. the trouble is, I've now started the daemon manually, at the command line, but when I start the GUI it thinks the daemon isn't running. it tries to start it, fails, and then never connects 23:55:32 the error in the GUI log is "Some problems at connect, message: The format of the specified network name is invalid"
