It seems we have a community meeting in about 3,5 hours.

oh shoot, daylight savings

that means the meeting should be now, right?

midipoet: it'd probably have to be me that shared the grayhat videos

rehrar: ah, I see.

but I've been dealing with a little meltdown on the Telegram rooms recently

it's...quite the story

goodness! reddit doesn't even work half the time.

Reddit is basically down right now

I'd like to add a link to the Breaking Monero series to the home page of the website somehow.

Perhaps with a line "Please see this series to educate yourself on the limitations and weaknesses of Monero's privacy."

I agreed with moneromooo's attempt at tempering ultra hype with the inclusion of "Reasonably Private Currency" but that got shot down by the community

that said, I think it's important we prominently display our awareness of our weaknesses, and ask people to educate themselves on them

they won't, but it's important the information is present and not buried

rehrar: TG raids by alt right type meltdowns? I've seen it in at least one AZ related group, but that was before the election was called

no, we had two telegram rooms. On one, the owner/admin went rogue and removed all of the other admins. He turned it into Monero Uncensored.

Now filled with porn, spam, and scammers.

Just today the Ryo crew found out about it too. Yummy drama.

I've been trying to track down the sites that still link to that room and get them changed to the other one.

Oof

rehrar: Was it the bitmonero or monero one?

bitmonero

Using Google foo if you haven't already:

I believe that should get you the majority of them

rehrar: ^

Are we having a meeting or did I get the time wrong?

I think and it's my opinion we need to give awareness of the situation and be everywhere. Being everywhere gives us and advantage to make awareness. Banning stuff and trying to censor people or things doesn't last in time, people will have access everywhere anyway. Centralizing everything will break and decentralizing everything is the same, I think we need to adjust ourselves to the situation and live with it.

HAHAHAHAHA!

Corporate profile: The Monero Project

Principal Office Location: Singapore

msvb-web: it was supposed to be an hour ago, I think.

At least I'm pretty sure. DLST

<rehrar "xangle.io/project/report"> This is an example, people will want to centralize Monero, so if we try to centralize Monero ourselves, others have already done it somewhere. We have to keep decentralization live always.

it's 16 UTC right now

lh1008[m]: moderation isn't censorship bro

And censoring things is just time consuming and could lead us anywhere, for example the proposal to censor or ban news feeds that don't fit our own propaganda. I believe monero should just focus on the software as what monero is instead on making propaganda to other stuff.

Right now it's 18 according to time.is/UTC

<rehrar "lh1008: moderation isn't censors"> I haven't said moderation is censorship.

msvb-web: oof, you're right

yes, the meetings were at 17 UTC, so it was supposed to be an hour ago.

I guess the calendar monerooutreach.org/monero-calendar is wrong, no problem. I'll go do other things, okay?

Apologies. Daylight savings usually screws me up.

sure, sounds good

If there's an item for discussion, please do talk about it here. We don't have to be in a meeting to do that. :)

unless we wanted to discuss Xiphon part time coding which....I don't think needs to be discussed. Move it!~

Everything is cool in this side :). A little update of Monero Outreach, we uploaded 24 files that were missing from the site and now we have more content do translate.

We are currently working on a swap article and udpating backend code from the site.

Oh, something else

We have a RPC-pay server active if anyone wants to try it out.

We made a public announcement in telegram but not anywhere else.

Will be announcing the RPC-pay server soon in other channels :).

Oh, I'm having issues on how to know how many nodes are securing the network, I'm still working on that. If anyone know how to do it it would be amazing if anyone can help me out. This is to update the quickfacts sheet that we're are still a little behind on that.

Where can we learn about the RPC pay server +lh1008[m]?

<msvb-web "Where can we learn about the RPC"> This is the article that was worked from the Monero Outreach monerooutreach.org/stories/RPC-Pay.html, this could give you a guide. You would also have to find some reddit posts about it.
