Wait, zcash has a mascot?

@deadsuperhero @fediverse @quillmatiq Protocols described in these FEPs are currency-agnostic and developers can build actual platforms and solutions on them (as I did). This is the only ongoing effort to bring a payment layer to the Fediverse - there are no alternative proposals. FEP-8c3f was withdrawn in favor of FEP-0ea0.

Okay, you didn't know about it. But now you do and it would be nice to include at least some of that information in the article.

@deadsuperhero @fediverse FEP-ef61 is what Mike was implementing and rolled out in production this summer. It's not like we didn't advertise that. All work on this FEP (and ones that precede it) was done in public channels, it's really hard to miss if you're interested in nomadic identity.

Give @weekinfediverse a follow. It provides a concise summary of what is happening in Fediverse

@deadsuperhero @fediverse You cite an abandoned project and withdrawn WebMonetization FEP and then say "most efforts have not advanced beyond the planning stages". This statement is misleading because those planning stages are far behind us. Mitra had subscriptions since 2022 and there are other projects that provide monetization options, like PeerTube Lightning plugin and PeerTube Premium Users plugin. FEP-0ea0 and FEP-0837 were published and implemented. Your co-author @quillmatiq should be well aware of these developments because we talked about it

@pomstan

Yes.

https://github.com/discourse/discourse-activity-pub

It is currently being tested at SocialHub (though only selected topics are federated, @feps@socialhub.activitypub.rocks and a couple of others)

@monero @OrangeFren

@OrangeFren @monero Activity in Lemmy network might have subsided since the Reddit Migration, but it is certainly not dying. Today there are 768 instances with the largest one having 18469 MAUs.
The important thing about federation is that there is no downside. You get a regular forum with all benefits of a self-hosting, but now people don't have to register on it in order to participate. For example, monero.town currently has 83 MAUs, and you can access that audience for free simply by using a different software.
I previously mentioned Discourse, which has a federation plugin, but it is not the only forum engine to choose from. NodeBB is working on federation (almost finished), and Flarum too. These engines will be fully interoperable with Lemmy, and partially with micro-blogging apps like Mastodon and Threads.
So, yeah, you're right about this being an uncharted territory, but I see a lot of potential here

I've successfully followed it. Thank you @Danbob

@monero @rafael_xmr I know how Nostr works, I just don't think it is better. However, if it still be around in a year or two, I might consider using Nostr relays for storing AP data. Why not, if this infrastructure already exists

@WishfulAlbatross Looks like it was abandoned by the person who started it. And the only way to submit a MIP was privately via email. No public discussion, no peer review of proposals -- it's understandable why nobody wanted to participate.

I could create a similar repo if anyone is willing to submit a proposal. I have no proposal ideas at the moment, but I wrote Monero-related proposals in the past (1, 2) for CASA (Chain Agnostic Standards Alliance)

@lukeprofits I think your application can be better described as "payment scheduler", and you're right about "monero payment code" sounding confusing. Maybe "monero scheduler code"? Or "monero payment request"?

Also, I'm still interested in implementing code generation in my project. The only blockers are portability issues that I previously reported.

@monerotalk did:xmr requires downloading the blockchain to perform the verification, right? So it's not lightweight. Also I found the github repo but there is not much info: https://github.com/benedictvscriticus/did-xmr/tree/main/2023-06-Monerokon. Has any progress been made since the presentation at Monerokon?

That being said, I like the idea of selective disclosure and I might even put this DID method to practical use if it will be properly specified.

@moneromaxi Can Lemmy users follow users of other software? As far as I know, this is not supported, and that means XMR subscription from Lemmy account won't work either.

This is an interesting idea though.
