			[9:06pm] jokeefe: Well lets get started - agenda: https://masspirates.org/wiki/July_18th,_2017_IRC_Meeting
			[9:06pm] papegaai: Title: July 18th, 2017 IRC Meeting - Mass Pirate Wiki (at masspirates.org)
			[9:06pm] jokeefe: ids
			[9:06pm] jokeefe: James O’Keefe, Somerville
			[9:07pm] hvxgr: Tom Rodman, Milwaukee.
			[9:07pm] Joe: Joseph Onoroski, Lowell
			[9:07pm] jokeefe: Review
			[9:07pm] jokeefe: Anything to add?
			[9:08pm] hvxgr: no
			[9:08pm] Joe: No, I would like to wait till next week to discuss the email I just sent.
			[9:08pm] jokeefe: ok
			[9:09pm] Joe: Did you get the email?
			[9:10pm] jokeefe: not yet
			[9:10pm] Joe: Ok, we can discuss it more after if that's ok.
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: ok
			[9:11pm] jokeefe: Net Neutrality Day went well. hopefully the pressure will prevent them from having any cover if they get rid of net neutraliity
			[9:12pm] jokeefe: Decisions/Endorsements
			[9:12pm] jokeefe: S.1241 - Combating Money Laundering, Terrorist Financing, and Counterfeiting Act of 2017
			[9:12pm] jokeefe: Joe, would you speak on it
			[9:13pm] jokeefe: ?
			[9:13pm] Joe: Looking in to this, I don't think it's going to pass. It is however a direct attack on digital currency.
			[9:14pm] Joe: Sorry, my screen stopped scrolling.
			[9:14pm] hvxgr: Is that related to Tulsi Gabbard's HR 608?
			[9:15pm] jokeefe: this one https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/608 ?
			[9:15pm] papegaai: Title: H.R.608 - 115th Congress (2017-2018): Stop Arming Terrorists Act \| Congress.gov \| Library of Congress (at www.congress.gov)
			[9:15pm] Joe: The bases of this bill is as an amendment to track digital currency claiming US sovereignty over the digital marketplace.
			[9:16pm] Joe: No, though them seem it they are both different bills
			[9:16pm] hvxgr: ok
			[9:16pm] Joe: From what I understood, this is more about tracking the money and making sure people are paying taxes.
			[9:16pm] jokeefe: I don’t see “digital” anything in the HR608
			[9:17pm] Joe: They mostly are going after Bitcoin as far as I can tell. There is a lot of talk about how they are going to ban gift cards and the like and with this bill they could do it.
			[9:18pm] jokeefe: as if there are $1000 gift cards
			[9:18pm] Joe: But from the conversations I have had it does not seem that 1) this bill has much support & 2) They are only trying to plug a tax loophole.
			[9:19pm] Joe: Well, you could in theory do just that, there is no law against it.
			[9:19pm] Joe: As far as I know anyways.
			[9:20pm] jokeefe: I suppose. Have heard of $500 Apple gift cards used in IRS scams
			[9:20pm] Joe: The challenge with this bill is that it refers to laws in place so there is a lot of back and forth just to understand the bill.
			[9:21pm] jokeefe: do you want to take a week to review it for the next meeting?
			[9:22pm] Joe: It could not hurt.
			[9:22pm] Joe: There is not a lot of support for the bill. It must have been written by people who don't understand how bitcoins work.
			[9:23pm] jokeefe: probably. would you send email to the list about the bill asking people to review it?
			[9:23pm] Joe: Sure.
			[9:23pm] jokeefe: thank you
			[9:24pm] jokeefe: Pirate Picnic/camera mapping outing
			[9:25pm] jokeefe: Saturday, August 5th and Saturday, August 19th got the most votes, with Saturday, August 12th the next highest
			[9:25pm] jokeefe: suggest Saturday, August 19th
			[9:25pm] jokeefe: which will give us more time to prepare
			[9:26pm] jokeefe: sound good?
			[9:27pm] Joe: Sure!
			[9:29pm] jokeefe: what time do you think? at noon the sun will be high, but later and it won’t be lunch time
			[9:30pm] Joe: I think noon would be best if we want to see the most amount of people.
			[9:30pm] Joe: Mind if I create a calendar event through Google?
			[9:30pm] jokeefe: go for it
			[9:30pm] jokeefe: noon-1pm, food and training
			[9:30pm] jokeefe: 1pm-2pm, map cameras
			[9:31pm] Joe: You should be able to modify it.
			[9:31pm] jokeefe: 2-3pm, come back and debrief
			[9:31pm] jokeefe: sound like a plan?
			[9:32pm] hvxgr: Minor/maybe come back at 2:30 to debrief?
			[9:32pm] jokeefe: sounds fine
			[9:33pm] jokeefe: noon->3:30pm works
			[9:34pm] hvxgr: ref -link +pp/imp
			[9:34pm] hvxgr: (sorry wrong window)
			[9:34pm] jokeefe: no worry
			[9:34pm] jokeefe: settled then
			[9:35pm] jokeefe: noon-1pm, food and training
			[9:35pm] jokeefe: 1pm-2:30pm, map cameras
			[9:35pm] Joe: Sorry if you got a bunch of emails Jamie
			[9:35pm] jokeefe: 2:30-3:30pm, come back and debrief
			[9:35pm] jokeefe: no worries
			[9:37pm] jokeefe: Social Media
			[9:38pm] jokeefe: Joe, did you get the invite for the twitter account?
			[9:38pm] Joe: I did not see it. Let me check
			[9:39pm] Joe: I don't see it Captain
			[9:40pm] jokeefe: hmmm
			[9:40pm] jokeefe: ok, will send you email
			[9:41pm] Joe: Ok
			[9:43pm] Joe: Worse case, I'll come by and have you log in on my phone so I can tweet away.
			[9:43pm] jokeefe: Suggests for how we should go about finding more people to post?
			[9:43pm] Joe: It's mainly how I tweet anyways.
			[9:45pm] Joe: When we start posting more tweets and generating interest in what we are doing, I am sure more people will be happy to add to the posting.
			[9:47pm] jokeefe: once we get the collaboration tool up, that will help hopefully
			[9:48pm] hvxgr: Slightly OT but I find https://twitrss.me/ is a good tool, to follow twitter, via RSS (no login to twitter needed).
			[9:48pm] papegaai: Title: TwitRSS.me - rss of twitter user feeds by screenscraping with perl (at twitrss.me)
			[9:48pm] jokeefe: thanks
			[9:49pm] Joe: Are you talking about Loomio?
			[9:49pm] jokeefe: not specifically
			[9:49pm] jokeefe: see that more as a voting on issues tool
			[9:50pm] Joe: My heart is still for Discord
			[9:50pm] Joe: I found out our mates over in the UK are using Discord
			[9:50pm] jokeefe: I am fond of trying a few things and seeing what gets the most interest
			[9:51pm] jokeefe: yes, and loomio
			[9:51pm] jokeefe: I think
			[9:51pm] jokeefe: I don’t have any further updates
			[9:51pm] jokeefe: anything else?
			[9:51pm] Joe: We could follow their example, using Loomio for voting.
			[9:52pm] jokeefe: possibility
			[9:52pm] Joe: May I add a topic?
			[9:53pm] jokeefe: sure
			[9:53pm] Joe: I know this is a ways off, but I have already started thinking about possible ideas for a winter bash
			[9:53pm] jokeefe: cool
			[9:54pm] jokeefe: now is the time to plan
			[9:54pm] Joe: It's a spin off of the idea Maltz had with his pun day.
			[9:54pm] jokeefe: ok
			[9:54pm] Joe: Except we could host a fund raiser/ball and get people talking about us.
			[9:55pm] Joe: A masquerade ball was what I was thinking
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: with a pirate theme of course.
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: we better pick a date and location, then
			[9:56pm] jokeefe: why don’t you email the idea to the list and we can get a discussion going
			[9:56pm] Joe: I would also like to extend an invite to the national parties as well. I am also looking to see what it would be to charter a boat for this.
			[9:57pm] jokeefe: lol
			[9:57pm] Joe: One that would stay in the dock for the party
			[9:57pm] jokeefe: yes, it can be cold in winter on the water
			[9:58pm] Joe: Yes. Maybe a fall or spring party would work better.
			[9:59pm] jokeefe: perhaps
			[10:00pm] jokeefe: shall we adjourn?
			[10:00pm] Joe: I second
			[10:00pm] hvxgr: third
			[10:00pm] Joe: It does not seem that my emails are going through btw.
			[10:00pm] jokeefe: have a good night you two
			[10:01pm] Joe: You too.
			[10:01pm] jokeefe: send me the bounce email and I will look at it
			[10:01pm] hvxgr: Thanks, good night all.
