Meta issue wehn

Also, the Matrix room description should probably be updated to de-reference CoffeeChat and DEF CON by someone w/ mod privs

I made a provably fair monero lottery. It's still in development and this is only a stagenet version. 249f47063f54.ngrok.io What do you guys think?

I'm open to any criticism or feedback.

I plan on donating 50% of the profits to the general fund.

monero meet tomorrow at 18 utc forum.monero.space/d/77-monero-meet…-saturday-6-february-2021-at-18-utc

<xmrscott[m] "Also, the Matrix room descriptio"> charuto.

when was this discussed for moving to funding required? ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/anon-perfect-peer-to-peer-protocol.html

Inge- read comments repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/204

requires sign-in to read?

oh bad url

<xmrscott[m] "Also, the Matrix room descriptio"> removed previous topic, might add a different one that could better describe the channel later

<rottenwheel "charuto. "> thanks for the ping

<binaryFate "sgp_ xmrhaelan ^"> Done

am I supposed to open/forward ports when running monerod over tor? I'm no in connections, only out:12(out)+0(in)

s/I'm no/I'm getting no

I think if you're behind a router you have to do that if you want inbound connection netrik182[m]

tor or no tor

ok, will try

I really thought it wasn't necessary for tor somehow

I'm not sure tbh

hello my beauties

yo rehrar

meeting here in 7 minutes

ok we can have a meeting

to discuss meeting-like things

Who is here for the meeting?

Aloha

lurking

This meeting does not appear to have been promoted on reddit etc.

I'm still not used to running the meetings. And since attendance is sparse, maybe we push to next week and I'll advertise more?

I'll buy some Facebook ads or something.

haha... however you say :)

Hello

lurking as well

Meep

Most ideas on the CCS appear to be translation related

cankerwort[m]: let's talk about the two that aren't

er, the on that isn't

the other is this guy: repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/203

The anon network thing looks pretty cool, seems a but odd to me that we push for audits of new crypto but not network level stuffs

and he's been doing this a long time so he should be merged imo

Hi!

yo

Hello.

I'm read only today, really poor network connection.

ok

Second def should be merged, first probably? I don't know well enough

Well, one thing I wanted to ask, and since we have a few people and lurkers here, it's as good a time as any.

MoneroKon.

So, it's looking unlikely this year that things will be ok for a physical conference.

And even if one country was ok with a limited, local conference, the international travel thing would be a nightmare.

Theoretically we can try Nov/Dec but I don't love that

Can we steal the VR environment built for the MCC thing last year and plaster it with Monero logos

That was a pretty good time for a VR event

While it's still early in the year, and theoretically possible that something miraculous could happen with the vaccination process leading to things being ok, I think we should plan for a physical conference to not be a thing in 2021.

up to fluffypony, I guess :P

Yes, if nothing else, probably won't be safe stateside until beginning of 2022

so yeah, the question. Do we want to try for something virtual?

what did I do now

fluffypony: give us your hard work on your conference stuff for free plz

noice

I vote yes virtual

It was all pretty cool except that there was limited/no interaction between speakers and audience

Since MoneroKon leans very much toward the academic, and it'll be two years since the last one, I think that's a ton of research that has potentially happened in the past two years. So I don't think we'll be hurting for content.

cankerwort[m]: they don't like to hang with the plebs.

But most speakers were hanging out in the shared spaces at some point and there was a lot of good "hallway moments"

C3 also used some sort of virtual thingy. binaryFate do you recall what it was?

I think we just need to do our best there and hope it's good enough

and if we do think virtual this year is a good idea, about when would be the time?

Although I remember one guy in the audience who left his mic on really loud with some political conspiracy podcast, was pretty annoying

Summer again? tomorrow?

Tomorrow; go diego go!

Realistically: June imo

how much time will it take to scrounge up the speakers/hype?

that's what I was thinking yeah

Even though it's an academic conference, I think we should spend equal attention on engagement activities like games and other fun things (still can be educational)

Rivensplit: speakers? unsure. We want to have a pretty long process to apply so we have time to get word out and get a good variety of people.

sgp_ like building a functioning blockchain in minecraft

The Townforge guy could have a stall! Not that I've actually tried out the game

Live Minko

anyways, I just wanted to get a feel for others opinion on this topic

Yeah I think there are many possible avenues to explore

Note also the Moneroversary in April

ye, let's do something fun. i have some ideas.

I think something like the MCC event or Reckless VR stuff would be a great idea

Cool

Better than just live streamed zoom meetings

I think the amount of people who would be genuinely excited for another zoom-like conference is exactly zero

Yeah I'd watch the talks later tbh lol

Just wait for them to be added to YT

Ok. Anything else anyone wants to discuss about something Monero related?

Yeah my plan with the MCC thing was just attend the talks I was particularly interested in or wanted to ask a question at. Of course, then I realised audience questions were not an option.

Is the 2021 Monero roadmap accurate on getmonero.org/resources/roadmap ?

I don't think we have anyone actively working on Triptych related things right now.

Bulletproof+ should be in 2021 not "future"

Atomic swaps are missing

I think most of 2021 belongs in future and most of future belongs in 2021 :P

As are lots of other smaller things

Yeah looks like it 😆

well, if nothing else. We can call it here then.

Sorry guys, next time I'll post on reddit and elsewhere.

See if we can't get some people in here so we can have arguments about small things like usual.

Thanks for hosting!

Monero Meet in 30 mins! youtube.com/watch?v=kTVMrLsIpIM

Thanks for calling a meeting rehrar. Hopefully we can have some juicy drama next week

DM me if you need an invite to participate in the call directly, otherwise enjoy on youtube!

sgp_: is there a way to partake in the chat without using youtube?

it is connected to my real name/etc., which I do not want to reveal.

You can create a pseudonymous YT account I guess

are you going to monitor this chat, maybe, for the monero meet?

mechanic41turk[m: it's best to make a pseudonymous account; sometimes I don't have the time to watch this chat in the moment also

is it under switch account -> more accounts -> create a channel?

<rehrar> C3 also used some sort of virtual thingy. binaryFate do you recall what it was? <--- workadventu.re

I love the retro style, and much easier to use than 3D virtual stuff for going around to presentations, discussing etc

also easier to customize I suppose

What kind of person steals from own community?np.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6d5yt5/_/ Your own leaders are laughing at how stupid you are for falling for thier 'Magical Crypto Friendship'

hello pigeons[m]!

hi

monero has a matrix server now? or is that yours only, pigeons: ?

It's ours. We're testing.

great

<rehrar[m] "It's ours. We're testing. "> Ohhhh nice

yeah, I will definitely sign up for that :)

glad to see this important infra

I search for "Monero.social" in Matrix and I see no results

cankerwort: monero.social is probably the domain that has synapse (matrix server implementation).

monero.social is not a chat group, nor a channel.

See: matrix.monero.social

on a different note: I wish elon shilled wownero, instead of doge.

does anyone know what is the current channel topic on freenode?

Feel free to join matrix.monero.social

we could see how FOSDEM goes this weekend over matrix

charuto: "Topic for #monero-community is: Community meeting January 23, 2021, 17 UTC."

So also dated to some degree :X
