03:10:42 <sarang> Hi all
03:10:47 <sarang> How's the lab been doing?
03:49:15 <gingeropolous> howdy sarang . seems like people are keeping it tidy
03:59:55 <sarang> Yaaaay
04:00:25 <sarang> Anything exciting?
04:07:48 <gingeropolous> yeah this timelock thing stirred my biscuit. .. i don't think thats a saying.
04:11:00 * sarang catches up on reddit
04:12:22 <sarang> Oof, sync bug after the upgrade?
04:14:00 <gingeropolous> yeah. amazing that it took fork #5 or whatever it is to find this bug. this coulda bit us at any time.
04:14:49 <gingeropolous> well, perhaps since fluffyblocks. i dunno if thats been sussed out
04:17:42 <gingeropolous> oh. it turns out no-relay-during-sync was causing dandelion to ... wilt.
04:18:58 <gingeropolous> and there's been some fun discussions on how to detect asshole peers (AHPs)
04:21:28 <sarang> Wow, so I leave for like three weeks and everything falls apart! =
04:25:00 <needmoney90> hows vacation
05:12:36 <Inge-> https://ciphertrace.com/ciphertrace-announces-worlds-first-monero-tracing-capabilities/
05:13:11 <Inge-> also featuring: double cookie warning pop-ups. Because if one is good, two are better!
05:13:52 <Inge-> aug 31 so not new
06:12:13 <Inge-> Maybe this guy would be interested in AHP'S as a threat Model? https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/jcsm23/rmonero_weekly_discussion_october_17_2020_use/g9kd3ee/
09:47:44 <UkoeHB_> "These tools include transaction search, exploration, and visualization tools" basically they made a block explorer? "Our research and development team worked for a year" a block explorer after one year?
09:49:43 <UkoeHB_> "future implementation of entity transactions clustering, wallet identification, exchange attribution" they are attacking the low hanging fruit, which makes sense; output merge analysis, anonymity puddle heuristics, and third party data sets
13:11:34 <sethsimmons> I’m on mobile where tagging is weird, but would be awesome if anyone from the atomic swaps team could chime in here (or just share the best way to get in contact with the group): https://forum.monero.space/d/8-btcxmr-atomic-swaps
13:12:14 <sethsimmons> The Samourai Wallet people (privacy-focused wallet for Bitcoin) are wanting to implement atomic swaps via their wallet with Monero early, which would be a great win if possible/easy.
13:15:03 <sech1> kayabaNerve_ h4sh3d TheCharlatan ^^^
13:15:52 <sethsimmons> Thanks :)
13:16:22 <sethsimmons> Might also be good to have a distinct IRC channel for your workgroup moving forward (if there isn’t one already) to be a place to direct people/allow outside researchers and teams to chat about implementation etc.
13:16:52 <sethsimmons> This seems to be the most popular proposal in a long time externally, and I have already had several teams reach out about implementation of swaps out of the new project.
13:20:25 <TheCharlatan> sethsimmons, we already have one: #monero-swap
13:21:18 <sethsimmons> Ah, good to know :) I’ll join and direct people there.
13:48:20 <sarang> needmoney90: lots of bicycling!
13:49:07 <sarang> Embarrassingly, I toppled over while wearing shoe cleats and banged up my knee :(
13:49:28 <sarang> I've worn them for years, but that doesn't stop me from not being able to release them from the pedals in time... sigh...
14:17:24 <Guest5189> I almost died twice in amsterdam. That's bicycle hell if you are uncapable of riding a bike, like me. I hate bicycles
20:06:16 <john_r365> @sarang - have done that a few times - not released the cleats in time! some falls were worse than others =/ how's the knee?
20:11:33 <sarang> Eh, pretty bloody at the time, but it'll be fine
20:18:21 <john_r365> ah, glad to hear! knees are a weak point
20:19:09 <Inge-> Be kind to your knees - you will miss them when they're gone!
20:21:15 <john_r365> hehe, good ol' sunscreen
20:39:54 <needmoney90> The benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists
20:40:45 <needmoney90> whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience
20:51:33 <Inge-> I still think that is some damn good life advice
