Anyone know of any quality XMR projects which haven't received significant funding? Preferably ones with innovative tech, not ones with centralization (so nothing relying on an underlying organization like a XMR -> email service)
-
gingeropolous
kayabaNerve, id say anything that gets monero into the airwaves, but i guess u could call em semi centralized
-
gingeropolous
at least the current effort with lochamesh. though once they put their instructions out there, anyone can build the transmitters
-
gingeropolous
i mean if you could pout funding into the ringsize a bajillion flower pot to make that grow , thatd be best
-
gingeropolous
^ pour

gingeropolous
oh yay

i think phone-a-fying monero would also be awesome. it *works* on phones, but its not noob friendly. i mean, full node, or at least wallet with a listening node or something
-
kayabaNerve
gingeropolous: locha.io, right?
-
needmoney90
kayabanerve you could fund rehrar and my proposal to make a radio station :p
-
needmoney90
its kinda centralized tho
-
kayabaNerve
needmoney90: Yeah, I plan on chipping in :)
-
kayabaNerve
Nothing big though
-
needmoney90
I think it'll be cool to have an audio only stream that we can hook up to whatever live events are happening
-
rehrar
kayabaNerve: nonsense. Fund it all.
-
kayabaNerve
rehrar: I'll send 35 XMR if you send me 17.5 rn limited time offer only for my fans #Coinbase official
-
kayabaNerve
On a serious note, it's a good idea, but it's not one I'm personally excited about
-
kayabaNerve
I really like tech and it's what gets me thinking
-
needmoney90
Radio isn't exciting, for sure. But its worth exploring, since its a platform the community can use to host various things people are already doing and watching
-
needmoney90
'audio stream' is more accurate than radio
-
kayabaNerve
needmoney90: For me personally, it's not exciting
-
kayabaNerve
That was my comment
-
needmoney90
its not exciting for me either :p
-
kayabaNerve
lol
-
needmoney90
radio hasn't been exciting for decades
-
needmoney90
Audio streams are pretty unexplored atm though
-
needmoney90
everyone wants video
-
needmoney90
for stuff like casually listening while doing other stuff, or in the car, I think its neat.
-
xmrscott[m]
Well also, so many corporations buy the majority of the wavelengths
-
needmoney90
that gap gets filled right now by music/podcasts too
-
needmoney90
this is another option
-
xmrscott[m]
Making it very hard for any 'genuine' local radio stations
-
needmoney90
with internet being fairly ubiquitous, digital radio streams could see a resurgence
-
» needmoney90 wishful thinking

aren't most car stereos now digital radios (DABs)?
-
fluffypony
not in South Africa
-
fluffypony
no Sirius, no DAB
-
asy
they gimped DAB in the UK :( - 32 kbps mono only
-
asy
^ ah sorry, not all stations are that bad :P
-
xmrscott[m]
Checked the 2020 Camry Hybrid because that tends to be the best selling car in the US (for good reason). No DAB in standard package: comes with AM/FM/HD Radio™
-
asy
xmrscott[m]: what's HD Radio(TM)?
-
xmrscott[m]
HD Radio Technology manufactured under license from iBiquity Digital Corporation U.S. and Foreign Patents. HD Radio and the HD, HD Radio, and “Arc” logos are proprietary trademarks of iBiquity Digital Corp.

According to Wikipedia: In the United States, however, other digital broadcast technologies than HD radio (such as DAB+) have not been approved for use on either the FM or AM band

thrmo
why was it decided to move the CCS/FFS into a centralized third party that requires registration (i.e Gitlab)?
-
asy
thrmo: isn't the gitlab instance hosted by someone here?
-
thrmo
you're still registering with Gitlab though, no?
-
asy
you can sign in through gitlab or github, or you can just create an account on this instance
-
thrmo
didn't know thats the case
-
thrmo
in that case it's less bad
-
thrmo
it still requires js unlike the getmonero website though
-
xmrscott[m]
asy: It's hosted by core, it's a subdomain of getmonero.org (repo.getmonero.org)
-
asy
i think that the gitlab/github sso might actually be broken, since ssh doesn't work and gitlab can't see your password if you use sso
-
thrmo
xmrscott[m], it still requires Javascript
-
sarang
I'm told SSH support is something upstream, like cloudflare or some such entity
-
rehrar
thrmo yes but the CCS itself doesn't require JavaScript.
-
thrmo
which is not the greatest plan ever

(X_X) ☜ (◉▂◉ ) we hardly knew ye
-
rehrar
All donations can be made with no JavaScript. Opening a proposal, unfortunately, does have JavaScript.
-
thrmo
yup, that's not great, as it potentially limits the scope of people who would be willing to do that
-
rehrar
Or commenting. But there are other ways that the community listens to regarding people's opinions of a proposal. Reddit and IRC for example.
-
thrmo
developers or researchers with tight opsec might be put off by it for instance
-
xmrscott[m]
Technically you can do it all using git, thus not needing JS, no?
-
rehrar
thrmo: I guess. They asked that it be git based so all changes were tracked and stuff. Do it was designed that way.
-
rehrar
JavaScript also ceases to be a problem with a good Qubes/Whonix is setup
-
xmrscott[m]
1. Register 2. Create branch 3. Add .md doc 4. use template 5. write proposal 6. Save file and commit, MR
-
thrmo
unfortunately not everyone uses Qubes :D rehrar
-
xmrscott[m]
All of that can be done via Git sans registering
-
rehrar
thrmo: people that need tight opsec should use the correct tools for the job.
-
rehrar
If someone needs really tight opsec and is upset that they can't browse the CCS on their windows machine, I don't know what to say. :P
-
xmrscott[m]
Also, I found an issue w/ the steps here:
ccs.getmonero.org/how-to-ccs
-
thrmo
depends on the threat model too
-
thrmo
javascript is still a problem on tails for instance I think
-
thrmo
and it's a good tool
-
xmrscott[m]
The last 1. 2. 3. steps should be 5. 6. 7.
-
thrmo
qubes > mostly everything else
-
thrmo
lol
-
rehrar
xmrscott[m]: I think that's an issue with the markdown. It automatically numbers for you. And there was a note or paragraph separating in the middle of the list.
-
thrmo
thanks xmrscott[m]
-
xmrscott[m]
Yeah I figured
-
rehrar
So it auto incremented from the beginning again. :P
-
xmrscott[m]
In theory manually overriding it with 5. 6. 7. should fix it tho
-
rehrar
Follow steps 1-3 and then after that, follow steps 1-3
-
rehrar
I don't know how to do a manual override? If you do, can you send the MR?
-
xmrscott[m]
Will look into it after work
