It took a good hour for everything to make, but now bitmonerod is downloading the blockchain.
For next time, you can speed up make a lot with "make -j th" where th is the number of hardware threads, or slightly fewer if you want use the computer during the compile. |

DRK started out as CPU only. I'm sure in time someone will figure out how to mine with GPUS.
The algo is nothing like the others. X11 was nothing like the others. Actually X11 was exactly like the others. It's a whole bunch of conventional hashing algorithms (all fairly easily GPU mineable) combined together. Anyone with half a brain would have known that X11 would be GPU mineable, and anyone with half a brain who claimed otherwise was scamming you. This algorithm is entirely new. I'm not going to bet my life on it staying CPU only forever (or even for a long time), but X11 is a really, really bad example of why it might not. |

The 32bit windows version from the first post does not run on a 32bit XP box. This coin is so broken, nothing works. Dev has been instamining for over a month..
Doesn't run on 13 year old operating system = instamine. Nice logic. Thank you for your FUD. Now I know we're starting to make it. Clue for you: Only 4% of the coin has been mined. If you think that's an instamine you are confused. |

I implore everyone to stick with their gut on this coin. A lot of Darkcoin fanatics will view Monero as a threat to their investment and spread nonsense. Some Darkcoin fantatics will share mutual respect, too.
I'm a Darkcoin fanatic. I saw Monero as a threat to my investment. So I bought some. Now I'm a Monero fanatic as well  Welcome. TBH, we should probably be buying DRK as a hedge as well. |

Now that this coin is on people's radar, pumping and they realise they missed getting in at ground level, expect:
Nobody missed the ground level. We are pretty much still in the basement with less than 5% of the coins mined, multiple pools coming online, GUI wallets being worked on, and only a few exchanges trading it. We will, of course have the usual parade of FUD, false accusations, and innuendo just to remind us that we are doing something right and starting to succeed. Think of them as a badge of honor. Nobody attacks an unsuccessful coin. |

Ubuntu 14.04 now does have libboost 1.55 by default AFAIK. To install, use sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev
Excellent. I will try that myself on my next build. |

who is the lead dev for monero?
Tacotime. He's on vacation for another day or two. |

Why are people wanting this on more exchanges? It barely even functions. Right now, there are no reliable pools, and those pools when they work, are like 1 percent of the network total. So, most likely one or few people with access to like an university computer lab, is getting like 90%+ of the coins.
Anyway, this is in alpha stage not launch stage. I've been mining this for like 3 days and got 8 coins. LOL. And about a 1/4 of that time the pool just says disconnecting, trying again.
If you like Monero, you should try Bytecoin[BCN] - first CryptoNote coin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=512747.0 , it has great pool and easy to mine miner https://minergate.comyea bytecoin with 80% premine  I dont care if it is true or not. Dont get me wrong, I like bcn and monero, but for me Monero is beeing instamined right now, cos solo is out of question if you are not botnet, and pools are complete joke. Hope for better days. Solo is not out of the question. You get your fair share, and over the course of a week or two, even with just one or two computers, you probably end up with more after factoring in pool fees and "issues." |

Sorry if this is a stupid question. I understand that Monero is a fork of ByteCoin. But is Monero the same thing as BitMonero? If they are different, what is the difference?
Bitmonero is the old name. It was renamed to Monero. Same coin, same blockchain. New name. |

I completely agree. This coins reminds me alot of Maxcoin, wallet and miners are awful and yet there's people buying. They are not aweful. They function great. The problem is no the wallet and miners, its the people who use them Oh yeah ? Do you expect everyone to be happy using a command line client ? The average person isn't even going to try and use it. And then there's the miners. The official miner is so badly optimized, that "LucasJones" miner can get 4 times the hashrate. But it only properly works for Linux of course. Yes, all is perfect. The lucusjones miner (cpuminer/minerd) does not get four times the hash rate. Both miners are optimized now. (Cpuminer might be slightly more optimized.) If you are using simpleminer you need to start it multiple times, one for each thread. |

Just wait for me before paying out What was stated by the organizers of the bounty is that two pool implementations available within a reasonable period of time would share the bounty. The details of that are TBD, but the longer this "wait for me" goes on the less likely it is to be considered within a reasonable period of time. |

Anyone fill out the form to get Monero added to coinmarketcap.com yet?
i would do that, but i dont see a explorer (api) that show the total amount of coins in real time. I realize this is not an API. Whoever is running that site could easily add an API though. |

I get that people want pools but the reality is that a coin network is much healthier without pools, or at least without being dominated by pools. Do you understand this? Anyway, this is in alpha stage not launch stage. I've been mining this for like 3 days and got 8 coins. LOL. And about a 1/4 of that time the pool just says disconnecting, trying again.
You would probably have more coins if you solo mined, the way this coin was designed to be mined. In summary, pools do not make a coin, in fact the opposite. They are a necessary evil, but this coin is doing just fine without them. |

@ smooth
So, the simpleminer from the first post link is the latest and greatest miner we have among those that have passed through community's un-de-optimization? And, are the simpleminer of BCN and MRO the same in code? Wonder if I can use the latest optimization of MRO simpleminer for mining BCN?
And, which cpuminer by pooler to use 2.3.3?
I don't know 100% if simpleminer from Monero will work, but it probably will. There is a cpuminer fork with the cryptonight support at https://github.com/LucasJones/cpuminer-multiIt may be slightly more optimized than simpleminer, but the differences are probably small and depend on hardware. |

My concern with Monero is that optimized miner was always closed-source until a week in production. It happened each time the optimization takes place.
There was no closed source release of anything from the Monero project. It has all been released on github, when practical with accompanying Windows, Mac and Linux binaries. We can't control what everyone else does, but we have certainly encouraged optimized miner developers to share them, in one case offering a bounty (though it turned out not to be necessary as we independently developed comparable optimizations). As far as I remember, it was me who was asking the questions and finally pushed NoodleDoodle to release the source of the first optimization "round". Where's my bounty then?  NoodleDoodle was not at the time a Monero developer. His first commit to github was the "optimized" (if you want to call it that) miner, which he developed on his own initiative as a individual miner. He was encouraged not only by you, but also by members of the Monero team to open source it, which he did. He has since contributed further optimizations. As it turns out all these optimizations were really (very likely) un-de-optimizations. If you wanted them released earlier you should get after the bytecoin devs about it. They supposedly had two years to do it. Please, go to discuss Monero to the Monero thread. Thanks in advance. I agree. I never bring it up here, but if other people make false statements about it I'm going to respond to it. |

Wow, monero is up to .00207 btc on poloniex! That's great, given I saw buys in the .0008's yesterday. That makes me wonder if someone knows something, like that it will be on coinmarketcap.com soon?
It is a stupid pump from poloniex trolls. Don't fall for it. Price is gonna fall when the cryptonote exchange pulls it finger out and processes withdrawals, there's gonna be a glut. Assuming it's not just me that has been waiting for hours? That is normal. Withdrawals are processed manually on that exchange. |
