01:30:58 I can tell you why you can't stop the 'spam'. You are thinking in cult doctrine. If it was real spam, and I was selling Viagra for example - you could easily ban keywords and urls. Instead, stop being a sheep, think like a cult leader. Recoginse that this 'spam' is just some bullshit that you tell to the sheep. 01:30:58 When you do that, solution will present itself. Observe. 'spam' -> 'FUK talks bad things about Monero on our IRC' (Don't say that out loud obviously, that will get you excommunicated) Solution? Get off-the-shelf sentiment analyser, detect anyone who 'talks bad things about Monero' and ban them. 08:20:01 Word of guys running Monero community should be BELIEVED. Why would anyone that stole money and laughed at the losers that took the bait ever have a reason to lie to you? www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6d5yt5/what_fluffypony_just_did_is_not_ok/ 13:57:20 Hyperefficient range proofs https://twitter.com/IACR_News/status/1368389989306789891 14:09:35 meh. requires a trusted 3rd party, never mind 14:54:39 Our range proofs are pretty darn efficient already 14:58:50 they claim to beat bulletproofs, but since it requires a 3rd party to generate commitments, it's a non-starter here. perhaps they'll find a home in traditional banking system 15:00:18 I would think that a more centralized use case wouldn't necessarily require or benefit from that kind of efficiency 15:00:54 Of course, "more efficient" is certainly better than "less efficient" 15:29:38 Did you know that all witdraw-buyer-seller-depoist chains are trackable in Monero? No? You should have read Breaking Monero. How many people are you endangering with your 'privacy' coin?
