01:34:13 321bob321: They want a kickback for signing people up
01:41:15 imprevisto:matrix.org: this is definitely the most insane very clear demand
13:13:00 ohchase:envs.net: > <@4rkal> I’m not sure i get the question. Yes some exchanges allow you to add an additional partner fee
13:13:00 ohchase:envs.net: Sorry, I know there is a lot of aggregators and they all kinda say there is no additional fee when using them but I then became curious if that's absolutely true because of some of the partner exchanges having variable fee specifications and how that interacts with the margins. I see some aggregators provide a protection mecha [... too long, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/p_WPq9QKVkxGZkgt ]
14:21:53 plowsof: Meeting in 1hr38 mins https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1314
14:58:27 4rkal: @ohchase:envs.net: We don’t add any additional fees to our users. Also the insurance guarantee in our case is provided by the exchanges themselves but held by us.
15:25:23 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: Why does the monero podcast start at the same time as the meeting ? 😭
15:37:02 plowsof: Will likely finish before the price report begins
15:45:04 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: @lm:matrix.baermail.fr: The podcast is like 5hrs long
15:45:48 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: to not overlap, we'd have to do the meeting at 5am utc or 11pm utc

15:59:57 michael: Hello.
15:59:57 plowsof: greetings !
16:00:13 ohchase:envs.net: πŸ‘‹
16:00:26 plowsof: Ruckniums network scan tool : https://moneronet.info/ πŸ‘€ boog900 shared in the last MRL meeting an update to the ban list @ https://github.com/Boog900/monero-ban-list/pull/10 meeting logs: https://github.com/monero-project/meta/issues/1310
16:01:04 plowsof: how is site coming along redsh4de? πŸ‘‹
16:01:15 plowsof: https://beta.monerodevs.org/
16:01:41 redsh4de:matrix.org: paragraphs incoming from me
16:02:37 redsh4de:matrix.org: Soo, over the past 2 weeks, worked on adding three new pages to the website, some docs about how to add/modify/extend relevant content and use some utilities i made, and general improvements in various areas of the codebase - with a focus on making CSS more compact, weighing out a potential migration for SCSS due to it's support for nesting and general features that improve maintainability
16:02:44 redsh4de:matrix.org: First, what's new since the last update
16:03:34 redsh4de:matrix.org: 1. "What is Monero?" page at https://beta.monerodevs.org/get-started/what-is-monero/
16:03:34 redsh4de:matrix.org: The design is meant to follow a sectioned pitch deck style that tells a kind of a story (problem -> solution -> use cases), with a call to action section leading the user to either download a wallet or purchase Monero.
16:03:34 redsh4de:matrix.org: Thought it also fitting to add a Learn More section with Dr. Daniel Kim's presentation about Monero (with subtitle options), as i think it really covers most questions people might have about what Monero is and why it matters. As always, all text on the current page can be considered a placeholder and is only for presentation purposes
16:03:47 redsh4de:matrix.org: https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/m/matrix.org/kseRprcJsuNGyedaoGcbYydP.png (image.png)
16:04:46 redsh4de:matrix.org: 2. Exchanges page with eyecandy! https://beta.monerodevs.org/get-started/exchanges/
16:04:46 redsh4de:matrix.org: Added a responsive exchanges page, with the options organized as such: Decentralized Exchanges, Aggregators, and CEXes - effectively sorted in a descending order by which ones are the most optimal for privacy.
16:04:46 redsh4de:matrix.org: To avoid overwhelming users, made a filter sidebar/drawer to help newcomers quickly highlight the options that fit their situation - hopefully solving the common complaint that its difficult to buy Monero, which stems more from a bad presentation and discoverability of options rather than a lack of them[... more lines follow, see https://mrelay.p2pool.observer/e/joOFsNQKMWd6ajR3 ]

16:06:43 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: Looks good and loads real fast
16:06:50 plowsof: nice progress redsh4de πŸ’ͺimages brought to us by the power of DataHoarders bridge. proposals currently open for funding -> https://ccs.getmonero.org/funding-required/
16:07:15 plowsof: has GUPAXX made the migration to the gupax-io repo? https://github.com/gupax-io/gupax
16:08:29 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: plowsof: Gupax.io is up,
16:08:29 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: Codebase is merged, but I want to finish some code refactor before releasing gupax v2
16:08:54 plowsof: i can share a small update about my attempt at tweaking some things on the CCS backend after feedback. i should be able to put a testnet instance showing unconfirmed amounts next week
16:09:17 nioc: meow
16:09:44 plowsof: aot of small tweaks needed that prevented ccs from seeing pool transactions at all - hidden in the depths of php
16:11:21 plowsof: other requests such as 'red banner to tell people that overfunding likely wont go to the proposer*) ... and a KISS "external funding" - where the FR page would just link people to an external fund raiser, this was requested a while ago, might not be so useful now but its a possibility
16:11:59 plowsof: nice lm πŸ’ͺ pumping the p2pool hashrate : https://blocks.p2pool.observer/pools
16:12:16 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: Very impressed @redsh4de:matrix.org !
16:12:16 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: Did you planned for localization support ?
16:12:27 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: @lm:matrix.baermail.fr: Yes
16:12:29 redsh4de:matrix.org: planned? ;)
16:12:30 redsh4de:matrix.org: already live
16:12:42 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: Go check out the rtl arabic version
16:12:52 redsh4de:matrix.org: https://beta.monerodevs.org/ar/
16:12:54 plowsof: i hear the blockscaling wars may have ended? "(see MRL meetings) - https://github.com/ArticMine/Monero-Documents "
16:13:21 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: Nope
16:13:34 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: Our twitter friends are unhappy
16:13:35 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: I see it now, perfect !
16:14:18 redsh4de:matrix.org: @lm:matrix.baermail.fr: wrote a lot of utilities to simplify localization for strings, more info about how it all works here: https://github.com/redsh4de/monero-site/blob/main/docs/how-to-add-localization-to-a-page.md
16:14:54 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: @ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: "After the recent backlash against a hard cap on the block size, it seems like the Monero developers have decided to cripple the scaling factors instead."
16:16:08 plowsof: these monero developers sound really mean if true!
16:16:32 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: Theyre racist bigots
16:17:29 plowsof: so the people who are of the opinion that monero is going to be crippled are aware of the current technical limitations that put caps on sizes of certain things
16:17:50 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: So you're a racist too? Noted.
16:18:03 nioc: they were promised infinite block size
16:18:09 plowsof: 😭
16:18:48 plowsof: Noted and *ignored*
16:19:23 nioc: website funding https://ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/redsh4de-getmonero-redesign.html
16:19:38 nioc: general fund has donated
16:20:27 redsh4de:matrix.org: nioc: Been spending a lot of time on the project, if anyone would like to support my work, do consider contributing <3
16:20:30 plowsof: oh ' should the date displayed on the funding required page - be the date which it was put to funding ' to stop teitter from shaming us
16:20:43 redsh4de:matrix.org: +1
16:20:59 plowsof: its currently the date at which the porposer placed there to say 'i will begin from this date or intend to'
16:21:34 nioc: put all the dates
16:21:43 plowsof: yes
16:22:40 plowsof: anything else anyone would like to mention?
16:23:09 plowsof: News: [Monero Observer](https://www.monero.observer/) - [Revuo Monero](https://revuo-xmr.com/) - [This Week In Monero](https://cyphergoat.com/this-week-in-monero) (Oberver still on his 2nd break in 4 years)
16:23:23 redsh4de:matrix.org: plowsof: in the list of proposals, i think the date shown must be the one on which the proposal went live
16:23:23 redsh4de:matrix.org: same thing in the proposal view, with the proposal creation date being shown under it like a secondary item
16:24:19 redsh4de:matrix.org: or in the body, like "Proposal created on XYZ"
16:24:33 plowsof: yep , we can probably show all the dates clearly, and they can be ordered on the publish date - rather than the 'i intend to begin @' date
16:25:53 plowsof: any feedback on the open ccs ideas?
16:26:06 plowsof: a. [39C3 Support](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/622)
16:27:15 redsh4de:matrix.org: supporting a presence as 39C3 is very +EV imo, im for it. planning to visit the congress myself
16:27:22 redsh4de:matrix.org: s/as/at
16:29:09 plowsof: b. [Sneedlewoods-03_part-time_dev_work-Q1-26](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/634)
16:29:26 plowsof: has been brought up in no-wallet-left-behind meetings with positive feedback
16:29:38 nioc: ++1
16:29:54 redsh4de:matrix.org: +1
16:30:10 plowsof: thanks for feedback. and speaking of events:
16:30:22 plowsof: d. Events workgroup - [MoneroKon 2026](https://monerokon.org) - a venue for 2026 is still being discussed
16:30:55 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: 27-30 december is very close, is it an issue to have it funded after the event ? > <plowsof> a. [39C3 Support](https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/622)
16:31:20 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: Usually ppl put the date as the current date that they opened entered the idea stage > <plowsof> yep , we can probably show all the dates clearly, and they can be ordered on the publish date - rather than the 'i intend to begin @' date
16:31:32 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: It should probably be changed to match the merge date
16:32:05 plowsof: #monero-events to follow along i i hear the bitcoin film festival are open to sharing the venue in Warsaw
16:32:10 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: can also maybe add extra fields for idea -> funding -> wip
16:32:54 nioc: I believe questions were brought up last meeting about the 39C3 proposal. Were they addressed?
16:35:31 plowsof: most discussion happened here https://libera.monerologs.net/monero-community/20251122#c615861
16:35:48 plowsof: if they are addresses people can give a thumbs up otherwise no
16:36:28 plowsof: " although with C3 getting close, would be nice to get this approved or denied so we can know whether to go elsewhere for money if needed"
16:36:35 plowsof: "that said, given the slow donations of current proposals in FR I don't foresee it getting funded quickly even if merged"
16:36:56 ofrnxmr:xmr.mx: plowsof: this is my immediate thought
16:38:48 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: They could always sed 2025 2026 😐
16:40:11 plowsof: any more feedbacks
16:40:35 plowsof: because h. [FCMP++ Stressnet](https://github.com/seraphis-migration) https://stressnet.p2pool.observer/
16:40:35 plowsof: - "Ruckniums 1.4 release is using 107gb of ram compared to 1.5-prerelease using 14gb" via ofrnxmr
16:40:45 plowsof: and an upcoming monero core 18.4.5 release
16:42:31 plowsof: πŸ₯Ά
16:44:05 lm:matrix.baermail.fr: 🀧
16:45:36 plowsof: this is the last meeting of 2025 give yourselves a pat on the back please
16:46:22 plowsof: get well soon lm πŸ”₯ πŸ™Œ
16:48:16 plowsof: any other business before i freeze, i'd like to put an open end here for humanitarian reasons and thank everyone for joining
16:48:26 nioc: I have not seen any recent communication from the 39C3 proposal and doesn't seem like they are here today
16:49:00 plowsof: pls continue
16:53:57 michael: Dankon very much for a good meeting and great moderation.
