I submitted a FOIA request on that IRS contract. Don't get your hopes up though

nice

I don't have a bank account. Is there a way to get monero online without having a bank account?

I don't live in an area with traders of any crypto, and I am uneasy about mailing cash to someone for crypto (just feels insecure, I may be wrong). I was thinking on maybe a gift card to btc, then covert to xmr.

In the ideal future we could just buy bitcoin or monero voucher cards from a gas station.

justanotherriotx, you can try localmonero

or maybe bisq

if you live in big city you can do cash trades in person

or do work for xmr online

or sell drugs

always an option

[jwinterm](matrix.to/#/@freenode_jwinterm:matrix.org) lol, I'll check localmonero, haven't heard of that one before.

Do work for xmr online? Is their a fiver like service for moneroe, that'd be lit! I am pretty decent at art.

Not much of a drug dealer or user, but perhaps if we go into another alcohol prohibition maybe I'd consider that, lol

there is jobs4crypto on reddit

probably other job boards

I think there might be monero specific one

what kind of arts do you do?

Mainly hand drawn. I dabble in animation.

cool, I know there is always talk of redoing the monero videos on getmonero

That would be interesting. I might check it out and see if I think I could improve it any with my skills. And if I think I can, I'd contact them :D

There are two subreddits for jobs for monero

jobs4moneroj and jobs4XMR

Both are pretty dead though

I have paid people in monero on jobs4bitcoin at least once or twice

I PMd you, not sure if you saw

justanotherriotxuser: there is also monerojobs.com

ummm monerojobs

that one was pretty new. I remember weeks ago the guy who created that website put its announcement on monero subreddit.

i also need a job gib sir

justanotherriotx: portfolio?

hey everyone. I'm back. So yeah, I want to take the time to discuss a couple of things that are kind of important.

one of those things is bulletproofs+. I mentioned some time ago that with sarang having stepped down, perhaps it's better to take a fresh look at the proposal and have them implement from the get go?

?

Maybe it would be best to first discuss during an MRL meeting

is anyone running MRL meetings?

rehrar not that I know, but I didn't follow last few days. It would be good to keep the normal rythm and slot, even if each meeting does not need to be super formal

moo said he would iirc

rehrar: Didn't sarang mention that himself?

<sarang> And there are certainly interesting funding proposals on the table presently

<sarang> It may be helpful to revisit the Bulletproofs+ proposal

Memory still intact

dEBRUYNE: I was gone for a couple of days for a small vacation, so this may well be so.

Though I also did bring it up last community meeting as well.

So yes, we need to discuss these things. Sooner rather than later imo.

It is a mere size improvement, so I disagree with the urgency required

The urgency is because we make people wait stupid amounts of time before a decision.

If it's a no, then it can be a no. But at least they can be told so they know whether to move on or not.

If I remember, people expressed concern because the authors were relatively new to the Monero ecosystem

Thus, their quality of code etc. is unknown and iirc people preferred for the MRL to perform the coding and the authors to perhaps perform an audit

last numbers showed the gains were quite small

Fwiw there's already a fully functional python version that could be ported, which is how the original BPs were done

oh, we also need another audit workgroup member unless sarang wants to stay involved there

sgp_ rehrar yes moo will run MRL tomorrow

sgp_: What does the task entail?
