I thought we were meeting at 16:00. **\ {-anonimal}** fluffypony: ^ **\** For Monero **\ {-anonimal}** Yes **\ {-anonimal}** * disappointed **\** Maybe he died **\** We could meet without him if people have stuff to say :-) **\** Well, I have one thing to say: who wants to join the testnet and try random stuff to see if they can get it to break ? **\** Preferably corner cases. **\** How many testnet nodes are there? **\** I think three. **\ {-anonimal}** I would but I don't have a reliable VPS at the moment. **\** I can set at testnet node. What are the stiings **\** settings **\** bitmonerod --add-exclusive-node 176.9.17.19:28080 --testnet **\** And you need to have built with my rct-private-fork branch. **\** And make sure you backup your db and wallet first, as they won't be compatible with "normal" version once you run rct code. **\** https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/tree/rct-private-fork is the branch to use. **\** Actually, use https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/commit/58ea23fa144b9eaec506461f96649d0c7b4b3914 **\** Latest has an incompatible comms change. **\** Great I will give this a try. Is there a test net db or sync from scratch **\** If you don't have a testnet db already, you will have to sync. **\ {-anonimal}** #903 has gotten some momentum. Is it too soon to come to an agreement? **\** Can't hurt I think. **\ {-anonimal}** So we need a name. moneromooo any thoughts? **\<_Slack> ** Bond. James Bond. **\** I've seen two names proposed already. I don't have a better idea. **\<_Slack> ** (What are we naming again?) **\** A repo, AFAICT. **\ {-anonimal}** neemoney90: #903 **\<_Slack> ** Repo-y McRepoface **\ {-anonimal}** luigi1112 any thoughts? **\ {-anonimal}** ArcticMine ^ **\<_Slack> ** My thoughts submitted **\** monero-organization for #903 **\** That sounds good. **\ {-anonimal}** Ooo, I like that best. **\ {-anonimal}** ArcticMine will you comment in issue or I can copy/paste? **\** You can copy past, I may comment. **\** copy/paste **\ {-anonimal}** K, done. I also like monero-project/organization. **\** That is also good **\ {-anonimal}** Kovri end-user documentation proposal is in open tasks **\** Actually better than my original idea **\ {-anonimal}** https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/2592/create-end-user-kovri-documentation **\ {-anonimal}** The problem with the forum is that its somewhat obscure and I don't get emailed notifications. **\ {-anonimal}** So obscurity = less funding. No notifications = more babysitting. **\ {-anonimal}** An org repo can help with things like this, imho. **\** maybe monero-project/org **\** org can be confused with .org Just a thought **\ {-anonimal}** Agreed. How about https://github.com/monero-project/community **\ {-anonimal}** Or is that too vague? **\** I thing community is too broad. **\ {-anonimal}** Kovri meeting in 3 minutes. **\ {-anonimal}** I'm hopping over to #kovri-dev **\ {-anonimal}** I wish the relay bot was online. **\** One could say organizational **\ {-anonimal}** I would say have it here but I don't know who is freenode side. **\ {-anonimal}** If anyone is interested in talking about a logo for Kovri, could you please hop over to #kovri-dev? **\ {-anonimal}** I don't know if dEBRUYNE is logging our meeting so I or slack will be taking care of it.
