Hello everyone, I think we should try the #Tesla4XMR out. I know there has been already a wide discussion and people are annoyed and whatever they are annoyed for and it's okay to have that cranky sensation but we all are part of the community, so we should embrace what we don't like of each other and accept that we're different. Someone told me something funny yesterday, not every choice has to be democratically

voted, and I'm okay with that, democracy also has its flaws. I'll be posting the #Tesla4XMR in twitter. If anyone want to join in you are welcome. The proposal is money so we should at least tell Elon Musk that there's money to buy some his products. Enjoy your weekend everyone.

lh1008: I would join you if I had a Twatter account

We need more fun initiatives that promote using monero as a currency

I read that the guys didn't write the idea in the best terms but I think it can be overlooked

It is a fun initiative, promotes Monero and promotes Monero as a currency, what's not to like?

Yes, it's actually funny and a rocket launcher too. We have to point where the money is too. Sometimes we just limit ourselves (this is no critic to anyone, I was limited).

lh1008: you can post whatever you want on your own twitter account.

Can we fundraise 3 flamethrowers we can donate to charity?

Yep, I know, I'm just inviting those who have any doubts or feel they will be laughed or anything.

That would be nice Inge-

<Inge- "Can we fundraise 3 flamethrowers"> Flamethrower for charity? I've heard worse things but maybe not the best and most practical idea?

I'm up for some charity though

lol

here, use this to burn your buildings to the ground

Can you imagine if a homeless guy took the charity flamethrower and went to a McDonalds demanding food? That would be horrible and hilarious at the same time

xD

flamethrowers with Monero on them

good publicity

musk will do nothing with monero

Mumuks[m]: I though that burger king had flame broiled burgers

or at least they painted the lines on them

We could do a CCS just to donate to a charity.

Or is that just too simple?

nah you could propose that

jwinterm: should we do a CCS for MAGIC? $5k for a year of scholarships

not specifically Monero-related though

<midipoet "We could do a CCS just to donate"> only if charity accepts xmr -- "Charity, you have 21 days!!!"

<mechanic41turk[m "only if charity accepts xmr -- ""> Lol

mechanic41turk[m: nah. Just a straight CCS to reach a goal, and then donate

Keep it simple. But aim for a high amount

For the Goodwill

Hardy rocket science is it?

midipoet: the original intent of xmr4monero was to gain the attention of Mr. Musk and get him to add monero payment option. Donating the electric cars to some charity, appears to be, a second thought.

So, in your proposal for CCS, you are simply proposing that we give some money to CCS, pure and simple.

give some money to charity*

sorry I misphreased.

Yes

Just set an ambitious target

Choose a worthwhile charity, or set of charities

And ask the community to donate

but why should people donate "an ambiitous sum" to some charity?

is monero community that wealthy?

I thot we were all neets /s

For no other reason than wanting to give to charity

why go through the CCS lol

I think the community should keep their moneys to themselves, lest in the future they need those to fund some devs or code inspections.

just donate directly

sethsimmons: because then it's from the community

As a community effort

I dont see the point of the CCS in this case

And everyone loses out on tax savings

sethsimmons: fair enough. No charitable donations on the CCS

sethsimmons: I don't give to charity for tax

I give to charity for charity

<midipoet "For no other reason than wanting"> The idea is to do charity AND promote Monero

<Mumuks[m] "The idea is to do charity AND pr"> this.

We need a good idea that is fun and newsworthy, not just donate to charity

if we set a high enough target and it's met and we donate. That would be good promotion

<midipoet "if we set a high enough target a"> I disagree

makes no sense to use the CCS

Just donate directly

I don't see it generating much attention for the monero adoption, tho.

Fair enough. We live in a world where giving to charity for charities sake is not newsworthy. So be it

It will bring no promotion

<mechanic41turk[m "I don't see it generating much a"> I meant this for midipoet

Set a high enough target it will if it's met

doesnt make any sense to me but go for it

This tesla thing shouldnt have been CCS

nah, was just an idea. I couldn't be arsed

And I dont see how something even less clearly beneficial for Monreo makes more sense.

I don't think you realize the big amounts people donate and get no attention

Not that charity is bad or a bad cause

But people can just.. donate themselves to what they want

But as sethsimmons try it if you think it will work

I definitely think it would work

We need a good idea, something fun and newsworthy

Anyone has any idea?

<midipoet "Set a high enough target it will"> Do it outside the CCS. If it doesn't get funded, then, the CCS would look like from a community of inorganized, stingy individuals.

But people might be like "what a waste of the CCS", or "what a waste of XMR", or "that XMR should be for Devs". Or some other such sort

That would look bad on whole CCS stuff.

mechanic41turk[m: it would just be fair reflection of the community imp

*imo

but I do think it would reach the target

That's just my view though

midipoet: if you make the goal for donation 1 mill dollars, or some near-impossible target, how would that be a fair reflection of the community?

Near-impossible goals are near-impossible to achieve.

Boasting it within some CCS, with the hopes of generating some good publicity, in the event that it fails, would result in blunder.

It really would be cool to come up with a good fun idea for charity

Oh I don't think it would have to be that big to make a stir

This guy in the USA was handing free bitcoin bch in a city, it got attention in the news

Yup

That was a nice idea

midipoet: 1 million usd in donations will get zero attention just because of the amount, for donations that's small

Mumuks[m]: you think $1m is small?

From an open source project?

Tough audience!

We could pick a charity in Nigeria (where they have recently banned crypto)

send money to Nigerian prince?

Obviously someone would have to convert to their local currency first

No, I think for the news someone or a group donating 1 mill is not newsworthy

Mumuks[m]: I don't agree, to be honest, but maybe it is

Nigeria, you have 21 days!!

honestly, 1M spent for proper marketing would do much more

sech1: agreed.

oh. I didn't know the goal was price go up

I thought it was just Goodwill

midipoet: you think marketing is done only to facilitate number go up?

How about more brick-and-mortar merchant acceptance?

mechanic41turk[m: honestly I think marketing is one of the worst things the world ever created.

well, shifting the topic, now.

mechanic41turk[m: a little, admittedly, yes.

But you like the adtech industry?

You like the advertisement industry?

Sorry, I gotta go.

trivia tonight!

mechanic41turk: we should think again about good ideas for a campaign

IMO we should try to increase the userbase to the point where exchanges cannot ignore the demand and will in tern be motivated to educate regulators, banks, auditors, and insurance providers so that they can support it so that it makes it more useful for people that want to use it, even if that means that the price might go up also

it's not about number go up per se, but it's also not about actively trying to suppress the price so that you dont' feel like a shill

musk will do nothing with this CCS "offer"

of course he won't

oh good I saw the obvious :D

i wish I weren't ignorant about marketing and advertising, but I am and don't know what to do to increase adoption, but I think we need to get the word out and improve monero's image in a more aggressive way, but I don't know what that is

tell people that we now have a GUI

:-)

.multisig

.gui

lol

rehrar luigi1111 can one of you update the topic to mention the next meeting? I'm not OP monero-project/meta #550

I'm on mobile and at lunch

no hurry

bon appétit

I made you op

I should be there

Are people here using github.com/monero-integrations/monerowp in production?

What has your experience been like with it?

fluffydonkey: I'm the lead maintainer, let me know if you have any questions.

SerHack: Thanks for writing this! I'm just wondering how battle-tested the plugin is - in terms of security

battle-tested or peer-reviewed

I see there's also github.com/monero-integrations/moneroodoo

I haven't used Odoo, but that also looks interesting!

that odoo extension was not written by me, but it's such good work!

I've been debating if I should write something like BTCPay for monero - but If i can use one of these projects, it will save me a lot of time

If all goes well, this channel will be bridged to the Discord tonight. It was bridged before, but if you have concerns lmk

The barbarians are at the gate

Is that a series of unfortunate things gif?

I only read the books

Yes, the older one starring Jim Carrey that condenses the first three books into a movie
