08:05:56 is monero meat the new coffee chat? 08:28:46 mmm monero steak 08:29:44 monero proof of steak 08:40:51 azy: Core has taken over the MCW youtube, which hosts the coffee chats. They are free to do them if they want. 08:41:19 I wouldn't really call it new since the coffee chats still exist 08:41:23 well. I think? 08:41:25 That's up to core 08:42:23 The meets are a similar format to the coffee chats 08:53:45 well im a vegan so that is disappointing to hear 10:52:13 dEBRUYNE could you update this SE guide mentioning that it's not necessary to synchronize a full blockchain and then prune it anymore, but a pruned node can be synced from scratch? https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/11454/how-do-i-utilize-blockchain-pruning-in-the-gui-monero-wallet-gui 10:53:55 btw i still encounter people who are unaware of the fact that pruned nodes exist. Wondering what can be done to fix that. 10:55:02 ErCiccione[m]: Yes, will update it later today 10:57:34 Thanks 12:59:18 What was the back story to the Monero Community Workgroup YouTube channel being taken over by Core, and for SGP's Coffee Chats effectively moving to the Monero Space channel and being re-named Monero Meet? 13:01:24 Also, was a shame to hear that Sarang won't be renewing his CCS this time around. Perhaps we can put together a post on the /r/monero with a brief rundown of his accomplishments thus far, and let the community share their thanks. Am optimistic he will stick around going forward, but still, will be the end of an era also. 13:20:57 john_r365: Doug and I split off to do our own thing, and we left the channel and Coffee Chat name 13:28:44 Ok! Won't pry any further. Quality on the latest Monero Meets has been excellent. Both in terms of content and audio. 13:29:08 Also the conversation with Samourai was fascinating 13:29:20 thanks! 13:47:21 rehrar: could you add Monero Konferenco as an agenda item for this week's community meeting 13:51:07 COVID restrictions in some countries are being extended until March and it seems vaccines won't be available until at least mid-2021 according to some experts. 13:56:42 Should we push Konferenco to 2022, make it a virtual event, or go on with the conference even with the risk of government restrictions, low ticket sales and turn out. 14:17:11 john_r365: As far as I could see, it is more intended as a break / hiatus than a farewell 15:57:53 I would throw in multiple Fortune 500 companies have recently said they're WFH until July/Aug 2021 (Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, Google, HP among them). If they're not confident I believe any earlier would likely endanger their employees/revenue any physicalness is simply out of the question I think 15:58:08 Especially given all the potential travel bans 15:59:03 * I would throw in multiple Fortune 500 companies have recently said they're WFH until July/Aug 2021 (Microsoft, Intel, Facebook, Google, HP among them). If they believe any earlier would likely endanger their employees/revenue any physicalness is simply out of the question I think 15:59:24 *until at least July 16:23:10 ajs-mob: yes 16:50:41 I guess MCC will be a testbed of sorts for virtual konference 16:57:19 This "seems" a nice opensource chat protocol.. 16:57:22 https://delta.chat/en/ 16:57:37 Not sure if a Monero chat (aside from IRC) was required/needed 17:06:31 Yet another chat client? I'll pass. After wire, briar, telegram, reddit, IRC, signal, mattermost, rocketchat, cryptocat, discord, slack, and probably more that I'm missing, I think we have enough (without some substantial reason) 17:19:30 matrix* 17:19:50 oh right that one 17:20:02 Matrix is love, Matrix is life 18:17:01 dEBRUYNE - thanks for the clarification. That'd be great news. Had interpreted it as more of a farewell - but then again, it was only second hand info. 18:44:21 needmoney90: threema is going open source soon 18:44:23 we need to add it to the list 18:44:45 Pls no 18:45:02 We should have Monero use Loki's one, Session. 18:45:08 Nooo 18:49:43 What always amused me, phone numbers and e-mails are global systems, but chat clients... Noooo, every speck on the Internet's map wants their own. 18:58:21 Email is a global system? 19:05:53 I mean one protocol 19:26:06 I wouldnt even say that's the case anymore. There's so many different feature sets supported by different email providers that the landscape has become fragmented 19:26:24 gmail being a large component of the break from standardization 19:38:40 Matrix probably makes the most sense. I tried Jami and I'm not going back 19:38:54 wait, that's ambiguous lol 19:38:59 I am not using Jami again 19:39:40 with Threema being FOSS soon, I would much rather use that than Wire 19:41:45 Oh, was Jami really that bad? 19:42:00 Curious as I haven't really had any bad experiences using it w/ family 20:01:56 I tried it with Diego and it was very bad 20:22:58 Like the UI, had broken functionality, or both?
