03:46:33 <xmrscott[m]> Meh, LINE is where it's at. Been using stickers on LINE w/ Japanese colleagues since circa 2009. /me waves cane at clouds
07:28:17 <Inge-> sgp_: thanks!
12:03:59 <ardainur> Hi all!anyone could help me solve an issue with Daemon failure to start in GUI wallet pelase? Thanks
12:19:48 <dEBRUYNE> ardainur: Is this the first time you are trying to use Monero GUI?
12:31:27 <ardainur> Yes it is the first time dEBRUYNE
13:09:23 <dEBRUYNE> ardainur: Do you run active AV software?
14:20:05 <ardainur> No I do not
14:24:46 <sgp_> someone "ate the onion" https://bitcoinist.com/bitcoin-creator-also-founded-monero-new-research-suggests/
14:30:14 <dEBRUYNE> ardainur: Which operating system?
14:30:49 <ardainur> Windows 10
14:31:10 <dEBRUYNE> Can you check whether Windows Defender is active?
14:36:37 <dEBRUYNE> In any case, please try -> https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/10798/my-antivirus-av-software-blocks-quarantines-the-monero-gui-wallet-is-there
14:48:20 <midipoet> sgp_: "Both used the wording “In this paper, we...” Both used black-and-white line drawings with solid and dashed lines. And so forth." lol
15:18:33 <sarang> Perhaps best to identify the article as an April Fools' joke. You never know who will take it too seriously
15:22:09 <thunderosa_> Yeah, if mods want to flair it as April Fool's that's fine. We really tried to make it obvious because the goal wasn't to trick anyone. Now with the comments I think it's clearer.
15:24:09 <thunderosa_> Outside of /r/Monero we've got local news channels running it, Yahoo Finance is aggregating it, some cryptopress is picking it up.
15:24:55 <needbrrrrrrr90> As much as I like a good joke, In the interests of transparency and caution, I just flaired it.
15:24:59 <thunderosa_> This showed up in r/cryptocurrency when someone else posted the story: https://i.imgur.com/K9u8fft.jpg
15:25:26 <thunderosa_> No problem at all, I think it's a good idea.
15:25:58 <sarang> Yeah, don't leave room for confusion
15:27:51 <thunderosa_> The bitcoinist picked up the story from the newsire,..and they kinda did their own thing with it. I don't know who posted it in /r/Monero and /r/Cryptocurrency (same guy).
15:28:31 <asymptotically> i think the article is great :D
15:30:04 <thunderosa_> Thanks, I'll pass that along. It was fun to work on and work with new contributors. I really like what AGNFAB came up with for the portrait...great imagination on his part.
15:36:19 <ardainur> dEBRUYNE srry got disconnected
15:40:48 <hyc> LOL, great pic
15:41:19 <hyc> and it's a great story. might as well let everyone run with it for today
15:41:31 <hyc> people can look at the date and sort themselves out later
15:44:36 <ardainur> it says now that both wallet and daemon synchronized yet shows 0 balance an no transaction history
15:50:40 <john_doe2[m]> Guys, whats the best wallet for desktop(ubuntu) and android? Ty in advance
16:01:12 <john_doe2[m]> I am especially split when it comes to mobile wallet
16:14:00 <thunderosa_> thanks howard!
16:14:22 <sarang> thunderosa_: is the portrait supposed to be anyone in particular? (I hope not, just to be safe)
16:20:43 <thunderosa_> No, it's not anyone in particular,...he said that it was just what he saw when closed his eyes and imagined Satoshi van Saberhagen.
16:21:04 <sarang> heh
16:21:20 <thunderosa_> Yeah, I like that.
16:26:10 <dEBRUYNE> ardainur: Did you see the guide I linked?
16:26:24 <dEBRUYNE> john_doe2[m]: Desktop, either official CLI/GUI or MyMonero I guess
16:26:38 <dEBRUYNE> john_doe2[m]: For android the main options are Monerujo and Cake Wallet
16:26:48 <dEBRUYNE> I think Monero is now also supported on Exodus for Android

18:02:27 <rehrar> hmm...did not mean to type that +
18:02:43 <rehrar> but now that I did, I'm going to stand my ground on it. I'm glad I typed that +.

18:12:51 <sgp_> good way to increase activity regardless haha
19:47:12 <UkoeHB_> would I say "An actual example of a RCTTypeBulletproof2 transaction" or "... an RCTTypeBulletproof2 transaction"?
19:50:35 <sarang> Depends on the context?
19:50:55 <sarang> What does "an actual example" mean? A transaction from the main chain?
19:57:34 <UkoeHB_> I mean the grammar, 'a' or 'an'? And yeah it's a tx from the chain (appendix A)
19:58:41 <jwinterm> I would say 'an'
19:58:56 <jwinterm> if you pronounce the initial 'R' as 'are'
20:04:14 <sarang> Oh, I agree: "an RCT..."

20:25:16 <ardainur> dEBRUYNE thanks a lot for your assistance it finally worked :)
20:26:12 <dEBRUYNE> Good to hear!
20:29:25 <needbrrrrrrr90> Rehrar who controls the Discord bridge atm? We should either lock the Discord down to sign-ups or remove the bridge, an open Discord room without filtering is only going to get worse
20:30:21 -xmr-pr- [meta] SarangNoether opened issue #453: Research meeting: 8 April 2020 @ 17:00 UTC
20:30:21 -xmr-pr- > https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/453
20:31:52 <needbrrrrrrr90> I'm open to other things ofc, like making the relayed channels permission-gated
20:32:06 <rehrar> Got it. I'll talk to the person running them.
22:24:05 <derpy_bridge> [discord] <Kayla#5718>: @needbrrrrrrr90 i is, sowry about that, added an extra step to communicate on the bridges, spambots usually dont bother so hopefully should be fine 🤞
22:26:28 <needbrrrrrrr90> dont worry about it, it happens :)
23:25:51 <sgp_> Idea time: Monero Coffee Chat at 17 UTC and Monero Happy Hour at 20 UTC. Thoughts?
23:33:23 <sgp_> I'm open to hearing ideas for the differences, but ideas include starting with a quick game to loosen nerves (we will also have the coffee chat earlier to thank for breaking the ice) and not livestreaming
23:38:54 <sarang> What kind of game?
23:39:38 <jwinterm> russian roulette
23:39:42 <sgp_> maybe a game on jackbox or something, or some fun talking point

23:50:06 <sgp_> jwinterm: yes
23:50:36 <jwinterm> cool, think I should be around for happy hour at least
23:51:21 <sgp_> haha see, it's already getting traction ^^^ :p
