02:08:44 nice, that was my first choice 02:27:17 doesn't tie in directly to dandelions, but there's still an obscuring effect in nebulas 02:27:27 just look at Star Trek II - Wrath of Khan 02:27:40 maybe we should have called Danelion++ "Nebula Protocol" 03:59:28 I actually voted for Nemesis because of Star Trek TNG, but Nebula is probably less menacing 04:32:19 ah the classifier didn't make it 04:32:34 or whatever the N thing was 05:37:31 So anyone wanna work on Moneros CryptoTV? 05:39:36 I'm thinking about setting it up with Jibri and connecting it with a p2p file system like IPFS https://github.com/jitsi/jibri 11:11:45 The Moneropedia on Getmonero is more like a I2Pedia at the moment. A lot of entries are related to Kovri or I2P. I want to remove them, please read https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/issues/910#issuecomment-628562953 and comment if you have an opinion. 11:15:25 What about this IPLD? Could that be implemented instead? It's fast https://ipld.io 11:16:33 * What about this IPLD? Could that be implemented instead I2P? It's fast https://ipld.io 11:17:15 * What about this IPLD? Could that be implemented instead of I2P? It's fast https://ipld.io 11:19:15 I never heard of ipld, but there are many projects that could be integrated. The problem are: does it worth to implement it? and who is going to do it? Most of the people suggest to "integrate" this or that technology but nobody actually propose to practically do it or propose it 11:21:49 Well you said you are thinking about doing it and asked my opinion 11:22:38 Isn't I2P slow? 11:24:13 I asked an opinion about removing moneropedia entries from getmonero. How is that related to "What about this IPLD? Could that be implemented instead of I2P?"? 11:24:52 Yes, I gave you an opinion. 11:25:57 IPFS is an anonymous censorship-resistant, peer to peer communication layer just like I2P 11:25:59 looks like Nitrogen Nebula will take it <= When should we close the poll and announce the winner? 14:00:41 this tari this has me confused... will this digital asset thing essentially be able to replace Bisq as an exchange? 14:00:46 thing^ 14:02:28 if it really is a decentralized unsupervised exchange of any digital asset, what's to keep it from getting filled with child porn 14:06:46 Yeah that is a problem. I just checked out this one promising Youtube alternative today and there was rough anal sex on the front page under "new videos" 14:09:46 wasn't that project a scam? 14:10:43 Which project? 14:11:00 I assume you mean bit.tube 14:12:31 I don't know if I want to tell you. This is kinda valuable information if you're thinking about creating a better site. 14:13:18 hm? I'm just wondering what's up with Tari 14:13:25 and if it will actually be a replacement to Bisq 14:13:31 "creating a better site" 14:13:48 Bisq used to give me stability issues but I guess it might be okay to use now 14:13:56 has anyone tried it on a linux system lately? 14:14:42 There is certainly like some kind of secure video streaming platform boom going on now right now. 14:15:08 * There is certainly like some kind of secure video streaming platform boom going on right now. 14:16:27 *he's not actually talking to me is he* 14:17:58 BMO-noire: Tari is still in development for a while, too early to tell what will be possible with it. 14:19:26 okay, that explains the vague things I see, then 14:19:30 thank ya 14:49:48 I can no longer compile monerod. It fails at around 46% with C++ errors. Can anyone assist? 14:51:28 paste and share your error messages, someone will probably be able to help: https://paste.debian.net/ 14:58:35 oofa: which OS? 15:31:33 https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/qRc4jiFN/naming_results 15:31:57 1) Nitrogen Nebula, 2) Nitrogen Nova, 3) Nitrogen Neptune, 4) Nitrogen Nemesis 15:33:29 poll is now closed 15:51:16 sgp_: You can't close now. My voting bot is not ready yet. 15:51:25 too bad 15:51:35 :D 15:53:38 I think my votes was 4,1,2 and 3. 15:57:11 sgp_: Do you want to announce the result? 15:57:29 nah :p 16:00:44 Now on to the next naming, with Oxygen 16:02:33 Perhaps go with Omicron, as in Omicron Persei 8 from Futurama 16:13:34 Omicron has my vote this fall 16:17:57 hurray, i'm glad that the bestest name won 16:56:45 Hi folks here is the build failure that I am seeing: https://paste.debian.net/1146754/ 17:19:08 needbrrrrrrr90: problem is that they rewrote the code in Go 17:19:32 so it is more difficult to prove that they are violating the license 17:19:49 There's clear large swaths of code that are lifted straight up, like comments 17:20:18 It's very clear imo where it came from. 17:20:26 right, it is obvious that it’s not a clean room implementation 17:20:39 Which means a strike claim is valid 17:20:46 Just point to one of the thousands of comments 17:21:18 selsta: they copied most of the comments literally, which proves the derivation of their code 17:21:32 That's my point, the strike claim is undeniable 17:21:35 that's sufficient grounds for copyright infringement 17:22:07 replacing our license with their own is a clear breach of license 17:22:22 > but some developers who hold different views have left (including me). 17:22:25 so he is not a developer? 17:22:43 If they want to pretend they're totally new, throw the book at them 17:22:55 They can't get our tech and pretend they're novel, that's scamming noobs 17:23:06 Leave the license in or get the book thrown at you imo 17:23:20 Cite your sources, we did enough damn work on it 17:23:50 exactly 17:24:31 So, who do we talk to to sic (pun intended) github on them 17:24:41 the medium link in that post has been shutdown 17:24:52 this https://medium.com/@mmbbcc88/code-will-not-lie-dero-project-copy-monero-code-no-chance-to-be-mainstream-project-9c936d5e198e 17:25:03 Hmmm 17:25:08 Any archives? 17:27:17 does anyone know why monerod isn't compiling when it reaches C++ that uses _1 and _2? 17:29:02 oofa: which OS? 17:29:20 your GCC compiler might be too old 17:29:30 slackware linux pre-15, so it's new software 17:29:50 gcc version 9.3.0 17:29:54 should be ok 17:30:04 master branch? 17:30:11 which boost version? 17:30:29 i tried master branch as well as the recommended tag 17:30:46 boost-1.73.0 17:30:52 yes, I think that’s too new 17:30:58 someone else also had problems with boost 1.4 17:31:00 1.73* 17:31:04 1.72 works 17:31:04 needbrrrrrrr90: maybe would be good to open an issue on their github, but that project looks dead anyway 17:31:21 oh OK I'll downgrade thanks 17:32:11 BTW what is the recommended way to mine Monero these days? I have a Core i5 laptop. 17:32:30 ErCiccione[m]: dead on gh or not, the coins still circulate. A missing gh project could motivate some to not buy. 17:32:55 I think it’s best to ignore them, have made the mistake to argue with them on Twitter in the past 17:33:07 they are irrelevant small anyway 17:33:09 Can't we just report to gh 17:33:14 And be done 17:33:19 No arguing with them needed 17:33:24 find code that you can prove is copied 17:33:43 and then the original author of the code has to write a DMCA 17:33:47 and most likely they don’t care 17:33:50 Just search for references to Monero in their code lol 17:33:53 yeah i think i understimated it. I thought was dead, but it actually have some market volume.I'm more pissed because they don't give credits 17:33:58 There's thousands 17:34:15 They didn't even bother to replace instances of Monero with dero 17:34:27 where's their repo? 17:34:31 If that's not a smoking gun... 17:34:54 hyc: https://github.com/deroproject/derosuite 17:35:17 let's open a scary issue 17:35:28 Just report it 17:35:36 you can’t just report something 17:35:49 having "monero" in the code is not reportable 17:36:17 like I said, the original author of the code has to write a DMCA 17:36:22 (like hyc did once with sumokoin) 17:36:36 yeah and they would create another repo anyway 17:36:44 he clearly mentioned the affected lines of code 17:37:30 do we have a paper trail showing we have contacted the project themselves already to fix this? 17:37:54 e.g. it was clear in the randomx repo that they copied it 1 to 1 17:38:00 but tevador didn’t care (which is ok) 17:41:51 April 20th in -PoW you guys discussed this 17:42:01 yep 17:42:03 Around noon 17:42:11 but tevador would have to write a DMCA and he does not want to 17:42:17 so there is nothing we can report 17:44:54 it seems they don't use their randomX port anyway 17:45:12 yep 17:49:03 what components have they copied from? ringct, bulletproofs? 17:49:17 prob the MRL guys would have the standing to file a DMCA complaint 17:49:32 moneromooo is the author of the code and he sure isn’t going to write a DMCA 17:49:59 well if he's not, then that's the end of the matter 17:50:29 only actual authors/owners of the code can file a complaint 17:50:38 The bulletproof code seems to be a relatively 1-1 translation of Monero code to Go 17:50:47 in terms of structure, function names, etc. 17:51:09 Including comment structure that I wrote 17:51:29 I don't know what this implies in terms of license, though 17:51:40 well if you want to dmca them :D I thought moneromooo wrote the bp code from your pseudo code 17:51:42 license and copyright are separate but related 17:52:22 first, you establish that you are original author of piece of code. the fact you'e not credited means your copyright has been violated 17:52:28 mooo used my original java code to write the BP implementation 17:52:32 and I made some updates after that 17:52:36 a few different times 17:52:48 as owner of the code, you're the only one allowed to decide what license applies to it 17:53:07 so when they changed the license, they violated your rights again, as well as violating the original license 17:53:22 Again, I didn't write the vast majority of the Monero C++ BP implementation; mooo did 17:53:43 But I would be extremely surprised if the Dero implementation was not a 1-1 translation 17:53:53 given the comments, function names, structure, etc. 17:54:05 the fact that you wrote any of it is sufficient, if mooo isn't going to do anything 17:54:58 if mooo basically just translated your java code to C++, then you're still the original author, and the C++ is a derivative work 17:55:09 mooo does credit me in the C++ implementation 17:55:29 ok, that's good 17:55:30 and I personally have no issues with the Java -> C++ translation that mooo did, of course 17:55:33 you can first open an issue, point out code / comments that you are the original author of and ask them to add your copyright 17:55:56 adding his copyright isn't sufficient, since they changed the license and have no authority to do so 17:56:16 yep, only their code is allowed to be under the research license 17:56:19 but certainly, opening an issue is the first step 17:56:47 why it's important who created the actual code? isn't everything related to who hold the license, so "the monero project"? I don't know much about licensing. I'mhonestly curious 17:58:23 TBH I'm not really interested in opening myself up to likely harassment by pushing this issue to them 17:58:33 "the monero project" isn't an actual organization, will never have legal representatives in a law suit 17:59:03 and I don't personally have an issue with another project using the structure of the code, which was a fairly direct translation of the math from the original BP preprint 17:59:16 sarang: FWIW I have argued with someone on Twitter once and they have harassed / spammed we for weeks so that I had block everyone 17:59:30 me* 17:59:39 if you're not interested in asserting your copyright, then again, end of story 17:59:44 got it 18:00:57 most of the code I've written in the monero source tree, I've left out my own copyright claims, so it just says Monero Project 18:01:13 the major exception is the bundled copy of LMDB source 18:01:30 I generally don't assert copyright in my code, but have a repo-wide license (GPL IIRC) 18:01:43 and I'd be fine with public domain to the extent possible 18:02:44 The thing with Dero is that they claim they are the original author and they also change the license to a restrictive "view only" license 18:03:08 so that other projects are not allowed to use it 18:03:14 but US copyright law doesn't require you to register copyrights for them to be valid, so it's still sufficient to prove authorship via git commit history 18:03:29 you still automatically own anything you wrote... 18:03:43 How does this apply to language translations? 18:04:00 translations are derivative works 18:04:03 it’s like translating a book 18:04:09 original owner is still the owner 18:04:11 you don’t suddenly become the original author 18:04:17 It appears that Dero has a few different BP approaches that could be considered novel (I am not a lawyer) 18:04:40 yes, I saw that. naturally you can't claim ownership of anything they actually wrote themselves 18:04:47 But FWIW I am just asking out of curiosity; I have no interest in being part of a copyright kerfuffle 18:05:27 My code was a translation of the math, etc. 18:05:35 I don't see this as much of a controversy. you can clearly identify comments you wrote, code structure that you defined 18:06:05 Fair enough. But it sounds like this could lead to harassment and other irritation that I would prefer to avoid 18:06:08 if they want to pull the license out from under you, they should be forced to do a total cleanroom rewrite 18:07:03 taking open source code and claiming it as your own and denying others the right to use it is BS and should not be tolerated 18:07:05 and the fact that Dero appears to have translated from mooo's code (and not my Java code) seems a bit of an additional stretch 18:07:19 I get that hyc, but I also don't want to be targeted for this 18:07:29 and I realize that this should also be considered unacceptable, but it is what it is 18:11:20 oh well 19:22:56 needbrrrrrrr90: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nmX4bw1BN8EJ:https://medium.com/%40mmbbcc88/code-will-not-lie-dero-project-copy-monero-code-no-chance-to-be-mainstream-project-9c936d5e198e+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us 19:23:12 For when there's no Archive, Google cache (or something similar). :) 19:26:08 Assuming they lifted the translations as well, I can always file a DMCA against the translated part of it 19:26:27 (If no one who's done the C++, QML, etc is interested in filing) 19:26:49 Assuming I have that right. Not sure I would qualify as an owner of the code 19:33:24 Cache is being a bit spazzy, will show article and then the error code. Here's what a snap of it looks like. If people really want to I can see if there's a clever way to pause the DOM or something before it goes to the error code 19:33:46 * xmrscott[m] uploaded an image: image.png (330KB) < https://matrix.org/_matrix/media/r0/download/matrix.org/nsOsdAYvdTAnYVpXzXxpNYRA > 19:33:56 (to get the full article text) 19:35:34 Copy of article found here: https://deroscam.tumblr.com/ 19:39:03 Archive taken of tumblr, found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20200514193732/https://deroscam.tumblr.com/ 19:39:14 * Just took archive taken of tumblr, found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20200514193732/https://deroscam.tumblr.com/ 19:39:23 * Just took archive of tumblr, found here: https://web.archive.org/web/20200514193732/https://deroscam.tumblr.com/ 19:42:33 cool 19:42:47 they seem to have a lot more problems than just DMCA issues 19:43:02 someone really ought to do a DMCA takedown and put them out of their misery 19:44:10 they'll just keep using their self-hosted git 19:44:41 hm. maybe. can also serve a DMCA notice to their hosting provider or ISP 19:44:58 Then take it to their server host or domain registar /shrug 19:45:28 worldstream.nl for their private git host 19:45:29 anyway, none of this is my code, so I'll shut up 19:47:53 Is it really worth the trouble? 19:48:04 reading thru that tumblr site, anybody who watches the garbage the Dero guys have pulled and still puts their money on it deserves to lose it 19:48:29 "2. The Dero project suddenly announced that the Atlantis version will continue to support ASIC. It is wrong to resist ASIC. Most people in the community have collapsed, and those who bought the CPU are in a bad mood. What is even more unacceptable is that because the Dero project has always passed that Dero will resist ASIC, the price of Dero has been rising, and the sudden announcement of support for ASIC has caused the price of Dero to fall from 3 to 0.5 19:48:33 I can't find any localization doing basic grepping of derosuite / gui wallet that I'd have a claim with, unless I've missed the files somehow 19:49:23 this project is dishonest from square 1. lying about origin of code, lying about ASIC resistance 19:50:40 For me at least, it's relatively little trouble / time. I have a legal firm on retainer service that costs a flat $20 /month. If I can use it to benefit the Monero project by getting scams taken down, that's value returned on my subscription 19:53:16 However, no localization from what I can tell, so none of my contributions have been violated 20:38:14 How about an own Social Media platform for the Monero community? Hydra is now open-source. https://www.addthis.com/blog/2014/01/23/hydra-is-now-open-source/ 20:45:34 Hydra seems more like a SIEM than a SNS. If one wanted a social media platform that's FOSS and self owned, you could always host a private Mastodon instance 20:47:37 Yeah that was my original option actually until I started looking at Hydra. I heard this Pleroma is like "a more efficient Mastodon" https://git.pleroma.social/pleroma/pleroma/ 20:58:48 Hmm, yes looks like it has a less complex stack. Instance count is about 1/4 of Mastodon based, but they interop. Will have to see if any of the Mastodon communities I engage with have a Pleroma instance... 21:06:18 It's really new.
