08:12:06 <Monegro> Does anyone here have any ideas on how to make Bisq not a total piece of garbage when running on a Qubes machine?
09:12:08 <drlef> status
09:20:12 <fluffypony> Monegro: more a #monero topic than #monero-dev :)
10:11:06 <ErCiccione[m]> set_bans and get_bans RPC calls were removed/renamed? they are listed in the docs on getmonero and in src/rpc/core_rpc_server_commands_defs.h but if i try to call them i get "Method not found"
10:14:54 <moneromooo> No.
10:15:05 <moneromooo> Restricted RPC maybe ?
10:16:09 <ErCiccione[m]> oh yeah, i think it's that
10:21:39 <ErCiccione[m]> It was that
13:28:46 <mfoolb_> lately I'm receiving the following error when I start monerod locally to sync:
13:28:46 <mfoolb_> 2021-01-29 13:27:32.138W Unable to send transaction(s), no available connections
13:28:51 <mfoolb_> what does it mean?
13:29:14 <moneromooo> It's yet to find peers.
13:29:24 <moneromooo> And so can't relay any tx it has in its txpool.
13:43:59 <mfoolb_> moneromooo: thanks. Is it a log message added in the last version? I think I didn't see that before..
13:50:47 <selsta> mfoolb_: the message should not show up on startup, it’s a bug that happens since https://github.com/monero-project/monero/pull/7021
13:52:24 <selsta> it maybe is technically correct that there you are "Unable to send transaction" directly on startup but the message is a bit pointless
13:57:05 <mfoolb_> selsta: yes I agree it is a bit confusing
13:58:21 <mfoolb_> probably easy to add a check before..
14:05:11 <xcztlaarsubw> 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?
14:12:50 <thomasb06> Hello. Would you be interested in an error correction algorithm in the core code? Surely not, but just in case...
14:15:46 <moneromooo> What would it be correcting ?
14:16:28 <midipoet> errors
14:17:07 <moneromooo> Then PR it.
14:17:34 <gingeropolous> "Monero. PR it." new tshirt
14:18:14 <moneromooo> Well, useless answer, so let's see the code.
14:20:16 <thomasb06> it's bit level error correction, like OSI layer 2 or something
14:21:04 <moneromooo> I guess try being a bit more high level.
14:23:18 <thomasb06> moneromooo: let me think about I could adapt it
14:25:02 <moneromooo> What data do you think monero handles that has high bit error rate ?
14:25:20 <moneromooo> (higher level than "bits")
14:25:42 <thomasb06> for example, it could allow a few mistakes on an address
14:26:09 <moneromooo> There's one such proposal already somewhere.
14:26:24 <moneromooo> Current code has error detection (not correction).
14:26:56 <moneromooo> Hmm, the proposal is for the seed, not the address actually.
14:27:02 <thomasb06> then, maybe there's a bit of room for improvement
14:27:49 <moneromooo> Well, it might potentially be useful. I doubt it'd be tbh, but it's at least not obviously pointless (ie, if it was for network data).
14:27:58 <thomasb06> to be used on address, it would take to redesign the EC crypto I foresee... Be back at 16:15
14:28:36 <thomasb06> (me and bitcoin divorced because of this this week...)
14:29:11 <moneromooo> FWIW, QR codes (that can be transmited with data error) have built-in ECC.
14:31:49 <thomasb06> (my error correction is patented until 2015 at least anyway...)
14:35:54 <thomasb06> (for QR codes it would be just perfect)
14:43:26 <noraschmora> Hello there
14:43:50 <noraschmora> Hopefully this works. Admittedly I haven't used IRC in years
14:43:58 <moneromooo> hi
14:44:22 <noraschmora> Alright, it does work! I was worried messages wouldn't go through for this or that reason
14:45:30 <noraschmora> Anyways, I've been thinking of creating my own privacy coin based on Monero. Is there any documentation on forking the repo?
14:45:38 <moneromooo> No.
14:47:36 <noraschmora> Oof. I guess I'll have to do it on my own with mostly guesswork
14:50:49 <noraschmora> Hmm... taking a look at Monero's source code, it seems similar enough to the Cryptonote Starter, of which I am quite familiar with.
14:57:16 <hyc> mebbe you should just fork that, since it was made specifically for that purpose
14:59:12 <noraschmora> Well... The cryptonote starter is so outdated and stale that I would feel more comfortable using a crypto that still gets updates
14:59:48 <noraschmora> That's why I posed the question of forking Monero's source in the first place
15:24:37 <skengdaddy> what are you gonna call your new coin, Nonero?
15:25:29 <noraschmora> Lol. My current working name for it is Fluffycoin
15:26:01 <skengdaddy> hehe
15:26:24 <gingeropolous> please move the chatter to #monero or #fluffycoin :)
15:26:36 <noraschmora> Got it
15:27:29 <noraschmora> I'll be on #fluffycoin if anyone has questions about it, or wants to help out
17:34:49 <noraschmora> I do have a quick question regarding the development of Monero
17:34:56 <noraschmora> How was the Genesis Block created?
17:37:17 <moneromooo> I don't think anyone here knows.
17:37:59 <moneromooo> Monero was created... some weeks I think ? before the current team took over.
17:39:38 <noraschmora> Oh
17:40:13 <noraschmora> Oh well. I guess Monero isn't exactly the easiest project to develop on
17:42:10 <SerHack> Part of early Monero history is not so easy to understand
17:48:54 <Inge-> there is a great article about it
18:02:27 <wowario[m]> noraschmora: I know, but it'll cost you 1 mil WOW
