“I thought, ‘I’m going to pump it and dump it,’ because I was interested and taking the ideas and implementing them in bitcoin. The bitcoin code base was far more interesting to me than monero, and I thought, ‘I’m not going to work on this codebase, it’s terrible,'” he recalls - fluffypony in an interview about Monero

I think everyone here knows that most Monero exchange withdrawals and desposits are traceable (Breaking Monero - poisoned outputs). How does it feel to go out and lie to people that they are private and then earn less than holding BTC on your bag?

<jbuckets89> Lmaooo extra FUD this morning eh?

calm before the storm imo

<jbuckets89> I'm about it.. wouldnt mind a nice buying opp 😉

<jbuckets89> But arguably the India news that came out might be good for xmr

<jbuckets89> Much easier to wash XMR than BTC or ETH

is rbrunner on IRC?

.test

no monerobux in here. was going to try the .seen command

All you are 'fighting' for is e-penis of a guy you never met, that doesn't even have common decency to pay you for your time.

Do you think they care about Monero, or privacy or anything other than money?

fireice is one of the most active ppl in this room

They do get paid by a scamcoin dev tax to do nothing, so not altogether surprising

I would agree. Easiest way to deal with spam, and encourage people to use encrypted chat comms to boot

I'm thinking -community moves to Matrix pretty much exclusively. Obviously if people want to stick around in the IRC they can and just ignore the spam. But we should point people on the website and stuff to the Matrix room.

Also, who is admin again in this Matrix room?

you

lol

.shrug

For the MoneroSocial instance, looks like just appservice is Admin, FP et al are mods

And matrix.org controls the appservice, or...?

Diego Salazar: is this your new account?

I thought you had one on monero.social

Diego Salazar: Yes it looks that way

"@appservice-irc:matrix.org"

Yes. Oh yeah btw everyone, this will be my most used matrix account. Contact me here.

Mumuks: I thought he checked this

sgp_ you should be able to remove messages, though not appoint admins. Can you try to remove a message now from the spam?

yeah I can remove

messages look deleted, can confirm.

* spam messages look deleted, can confirm.

Ok. So the Matrix people told me that admins cannot be added with our current config.

They say we need to recreate the room, assign the proper permissions up front, and then we'll be good to go.

We don't self host the bridge, right? It's the matrix one.

<DiegoSalazar[m] "They say we need to recreate the"> "this is the 5th time we recreated the monero matrix room, and we got exceedingly good at it."

We're kind of dorks. But maybe in a good way?

sgp_: "is rbrunner on IRC?" I often read up on monerologs.net, but I am rarely online. Easier to reach me by Reddit PM as /u/rbrunner7 if something is up.

sgp_ ErCiccione etc. We ok with remaking the room?

erm, that's definitely not ideal

I'm 99% sure nm90 is an admin, one sec

charuto said he is an admin

I click on the room details and it says he is a mod.

<sgp_[m]2 "Mumuks: I thought he checked thi"> He is, the android client hides some inactive admins for some reason, check the web client and you'll aee

Signal is currently taking donations via The Giving Block now, which doesn't support Zaddr or Monero. Something of note to target requests or 'how can we help?' perhaps for outreach types.

Moxie operates some shitcoin in the privacy space afaik, wouldn't be surprised if he's hostile to others

needmoney90 are you matrix admin here?

It's possible, haven't checked
