• Participants: 11 (plowsof², d​iego³, v​ostoemisio⁴, vthor⁵, i​llecors⁶, ofrnxmr⁷, s​pirobel⁸, s​nowman⁹, nioCat¹⁰, r​ucknium¹¹, tobtoht_¹²)

• (1) Community highlights

  • plowsof mentioned tobtoht’s recently released Feather Wallet alpha client with multisig wallet support¹³: excited to test it later with some small amounts, the UX is smoothless

  • plowsof relayed v​ostoemisio’s request for final feedback for their CCS, which is still looking for funding¹⁴, and commented: i think everyone is still ok with whats written in that proposal.. correct the facts in the intro video @ getmonero, refresh the graphics.. in light and dark mode

    • v​ostoemisio shared a link to their most recent 3 new videos, at d​iego’s request: We never redone previously, but made 3 new ones; #6,7,8¹⁵; plowsof shared a link to vostoemisio’s video channel¹⁶

  • plowsof reminded everyone that vthor recently completed their XmrSigner CCS¹⁷ with a PR to monero gui (and core) and offline signing via QR codes (as in feather and anonero)¹⁸

  • plowsof was interested in updates about the ongoing Feather Wallet targeted phishing attack and linked to tobtoht’s WiP gist¹⁹

  • plowsof noted that docs.getmonero.org is now running the monero-docs²⁰ master branch

• (2) CCS updates

  • (2.1) on DiosDelRayo/vthor’s ‘offline signing library for XmrSigner’ proposal²¹:

    • vthor replied to plowsof’s question regarding CCS edits (mainly after tobtoht’s feedback): I’m down with my nerves, my energy and now busy to get monero-gui built outside QtCreator; plowsof concluded that feedback can be postponed

  • (2.2) on Spirobel’s ‘wallet-rpc library’ proposal²²:

    • plowsof underlined the fact that the proposal had some major changes since the last meeting: reduction in total and a deliverable

    • plowsof noted that a new draft proposal of an atomic swap implementation using monero-ts was recently created by mainnet_pat²³ after spirobel mentioned discussions with sneurlax and others about the monero-ts library

      • spirobel acknowledged the existence of the draft proposal: I dont see this as an either or thing, confirmed that the direction is towards web, and pointed out that he is open to talk with anyone who has questions – both publicly and privately

    • plowsof concluded that the proposal is a clear merge and invited others to comment

      • ofrnxmr asked spirobel if his library could be used by projects similar to Haveno and BTCPayServer; spirobel confirmed that it is useful for payment gateway projects

  • (2.3) on HardenedSteel’s ‘2 months of part-time Getmonero.org work’ proposal²⁴:

    • plowsof noted that there are currently few monero-site contributors and 5 XMR / month seems ok

    • ofrnxmr voted for a merge, as long as HardenedSteel is still working/on board: Not sure whats going on with a couple of the active prs, if theyre still being addressed

  • (2.4) on jeffro256’s ‘full-time dev work 2024Q4’ proposal²⁵:

    • r​ucknium noted that they thumb-ed up the proposal after jeffro256 removed wallet-side FCMP tree building

    • ofrnxmr was in favor: Jeffro’s always available to push core prs and reviews

    • nioCat voted yes: he will work on whatever is needed

    • plowsof, tobtoht, d​iego – all voted for a merge

  • (2.5) on mainnet_pat’s ‘XMR-BCH atomic swaps’ proposal (draft)²⁶:

    • ofrnxmr noted that pat will potentially be adding bch atomic swaps to basicswap; Stalled for 3 weeks (so far) due to payout

    • r​ucknium pointed out that mainnet_pat needs to explain why 175 BCH wasn’t enough to complete the original work in the Flipstarter²⁷ and also what role BCHautist has played so far: I assumed that the delay was because pat and Mr-Zwets were re-factoring the Cashonize wallet, which seemed to be a basis for Monujo. I may be wrong.

• (3) AOB

  • ofrnxmr was interested in discussing overpayments to ccs and purgatory ccs funds²⁸: I want to vote on making this change officially at next meeting. Keeping funds in ccs; funds should be able to be used like haveno’s. no need to make requests from GF

  • r​ucknium asked diego if he can work with pat to find a better name for Monujo²⁹ by using rejected names that he came up with for Stack wallet
