00:09:02 <sgp_> I submitted a FOIA request on that IRS contract. Don't get your hopes up though
00:12:42 * needmoney90 gets his hopes up
00:45:47 <vp11> nice
04:51:01 <justanotherriotx> I don't have a bank account. Is there a way to get monero online without having a bank account?
04:51:01 <justanotherriotx> 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.
04:56:10 <justanotherriotx> In the ideal future we could just buy bitcoin or monero voucher cards from a gas station.
05:15:39 <jwinterm> justanotherriotx, you can try localmonero
05:15:43 <jwinterm> or maybe bisq
05:15:53 <jwinterm> if you live in big city you can do cash trades in person
05:16:04 <jwinterm> or do work for xmr online
05:16:08 <jwinterm> or sell drugs
05:16:11 <jwinterm> always an option
05:21:23 <justanotherriotx> [jwinterm](https://matrix.to/#/@freenode_jwinterm:matrix.org) lol, I'll check localmonero, haven't heard of that one before.
05:21:23 <justanotherriotx> Do work for xmr online? Is their a fiver like service for moneroe, that'd be lit! I am pretty decent at art.
05:21:23 <justanotherriotx> Not much of a drug dealer or user, but perhaps if we go into another alcohol prohibition maybe I'd consider that, lol
05:23:12 <jwinterm> there is jobs4crypto on reddit
05:23:16 <jwinterm> probably other job boards
05:23:22 <jwinterm> I think there might be monero specific one
05:23:37 <jwinterm> what kind of arts do you do?
05:25:11 <justanotherriotx> Mainly hand drawn. I dabble in animation.
05:26:33 <jwinterm> cool, I know there is always talk of redoing the monero videos on getmonero
05:28:38 <justanotherriotx> 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
05:37:38 <justanotherriotx> There are two subreddits for jobs for monero
05:37:38 <justanotherriotx> jobs4moneroj and jobs4XMR
05:37:56 <justanotherriotx> Both are pretty dead though
05:42:01 <jwinterm> I have paid people in monero on jobs4bitcoin at least once or twice
05:42:29 <jwinterm> I PMd you, not sure if you saw
10:01:05 <dixie__flatline[> justanotherriotxuser: there is also https://www.monerojobs.com/
10:01:24 <p3rL> ummm monerojobs
10:01:25 <dixie__flatline[> that one was pretty new. I remember weeks ago the guy who created that website put its announcement on monero subreddit.
10:01:35 <p3rL> i also need a job gib sir
17:39:43 <rehrar> justanotherriotx: portfolio?
17:46:32 <rehrar> hey everyone. I'm back. So yeah, I want to take the time to discuss a couple of things that are kind of important.
17:47:15 <rehrar> 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?
17:49:27 <sgp_> ?
17:53:51 <sgp_> Maybe it would be best to first discuss during an MRL meeting
17:58:02 <rehrar> is anyone running MRL meetings?
19:11:00 <binaryFate> 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
19:13:16 <sgp_> moo said he would iirc
19:45:23 <dEBRUYNE> rehrar: Didn't sarang mention that himself?
19:45:24 * dEBRUYNE confused
19:45:45 <dEBRUYNE> <sarang> And there are certainly interesting funding proposals on the table presently
19:45:45 <dEBRUYNE> <sarang> It may be helpful to revisit the Bulletproofs+ proposal
19:45:48 <dEBRUYNE> Memory still intact
19:46:05 <rehrar> dEBRUYNE: I was gone for a couple of days for a small vacation, so this may well be so.
19:46:17 <rehrar> Though I also did bring it up last community meeting as well.
19:46:33 <rehrar> So yes, we need to discuss these things. Sooner rather than later imo.
19:46:57 <dEBRUYNE> It is a mere size improvement, so I disagree with the urgency required
19:48:55 <rehrar> The urgency is because we make people wait stupid amounts of time before a decision.
19:49:14 <rehrar> 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.
19:53:29 <dEBRUYNE> If I remember, people expressed concern because the authors were relatively new to the Monero ecosystem
19:53:50 <dEBRUYNE> 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
20:13:35 <sgp_> last numbers showed the gains were quite small
20:35:19 <sarang> Fwiw there's already a fully functional python version that could be ported, which is how the original BPs were done
20:40:36 <sgp_> oh, we also need another audit workgroup member unless sarang wants to stay involved there
21:18:52 <binaryFate> sgp_ rehrar yes moo will run MRL tomorrow
22:41:20 <dEBRUYNE> sgp_: What does the task entail?
