Cryptopia pump was strange. I heard some other coins on their exchange had similar spikes around the same time. Maybe exchange owners giving up everything available to prepare for a longer sustained pump where they can offload it? (This is what I think they did a couple months ago with their pet coin DOT.) Hopefully someone buying in for the long term tho...

First time I hear about it, seems like it's mining been over already and bitcoin will take another hundred years to be completely mined but no worries we'll think about the doomed part then Cheesy.

Bitcoin will be 99% mined out in like 15 years.

You should start worrying right about...NOW!

Wow, didn't realize it was coming up so soon, but you're correct. About 98.4% at the sixth halving, which is like fifteen or sixteen years from now.

Any updates on open source pool? Would like to mine XMR + XDN, but not enough to fuck with minergate.

Not the ones with tail emission.

Fees?  You'd need a lot of fees to justify a global PoW network. 

No, never ending block reward, like doge or Monero. Monero implemented it so that dynamic block size would continue to work properly after main emission is over. Also, this thread is retarded. It's like saying if doge dies then LTC is kaput. Or UNO dies then Bitcoin also dies.

Why do you think it isn't asic resistant?

Most coins that are "resistant" are only so because (when 1BTC = $780 and 1 block of that coin = $1.27USD) there's no ROI in developing a chip for it.

My company will roll out an asic for cryptonote next year.

Cryptonote is a protocol, not a hashing algorithm. You probably meant cryptonight, but I assume you already know that since your the developing the ASIC.

tl;dr don't mine on coinotron please.
Do you mean mining pool hub ? coinotron only have 9%

Lol oh yea mining pool hub. Apparently one sentence is too long for me o_O

There is a new version of monero, 0.10.1.

This version is necessary to pass through next fork, in early january. If you run a daemon, you should update to this version within 26 days, or you will get forked off.

toknormal has a PhD in the field of hand wavey economic bullshit, apparently. Talking about this stuff like it's some well established scientific principle. I don't even think regular economists know wtf they're talking about, let alone cryptoeconomists.

Best possible solution is to abort the project for starters Cheesy can you tell me why do we even need yet another (COIN)?
Why not spend the time and effort to perfect a few good ones before playing with crypto like it's a game?

Freely distributed to authors that have published in IEEE journals in the last ten years as verified by their ORCA researcher ID...or something Cheesy
that way there would be no distribution  Roll Eyes
to me, it's fair to make a small "ico", find a few investors(100+) and sell them a small share. A few days laters(assuming it will be listed in a exchange) you sell a few more coins. Just don't sell too much.

that way, you have some money to keep developing and give people some cheap coins. with time, price will stabilize.

There's a helluva lot more than a couple hundred folks that have published in an IEEE journal in the last decade. Even if a fraction of one percent claimed them it would probably be week into the thousands.

Seriously though, I don't think there's a great way to do any ICO, but especially for a pure PoS coin. How can you prove that 98% of people who bought in weren't actually the devs or some other entity that now completely owns the network?

you will only receive it if your local wallet is fully synchronized.

You can check it by entering the command "status" in the daemon terminal window.

The output, if fully synchronized, will look like this

Code:
Height: 1199671/1199671 (100.0%) on mainnet, not mining, net hash 36.03 MH/s, v3 (next fork in 29.0 days), up to date, 8+0 connections

(the height will be different obviously, this is a snapshot at the time of writing]
Well, it will take ages to sync local wallet, as it needs 12GB to download.
I was using LightWallet and synced it from block 1,110,000
and saw 0 in my balance.
there is no cammand windows on lightwallet by the way..

Guys, how to find that 5 XMR? should i run full node and wait it to download full blockchain?
i could generate new wallet from private keys and sync it from the genesis block

You can just use monero-wallet-cli and use the -daemon-host flag to set it to a remote node. See instructions here:
https://moneroworld.com/#nodes

i could generate new wallet from private keys and sync it from the genesis block or do anything i need to find back my XMR


Make sure you are using the latest version of lightwallet, 0.3.1:
https://github.com/jwinterm/LightWallet2/releases

There was in issue that balance wouldn't show on 0.3 release. If still a problem, you can just sync wallet with monero-wallet-cli using a remote node also.
1535  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: December 11, 2016, 09:38:04 PM
and now i need to download 12GB of data to be able sync my wallet.
i have limited data connection..

can someone buy from me my 5 XMR
i will give address, spend, view keys.

i want 0.049 BTC for it.

i would send keys first to person i deem trusted

You can sync a wallet using a remote node. There are instructions on moneroworld.com I think. That way you don't need to download the blockchain.

Cool, if anyone is dying to play but has no MYR, come register a nick and join ##myriadcoin on freenode or post in thread on /r/myriadcoin and mention my username /u/jwinterm, and I will probably send you enough for entry fee on guess the block game  Smiley

..."privacy" was never a monetary property in its own right...

Can you distinguish one ounce of gold from another? One stack of $100 bills from another? (Not really.) The point is that you can distinguish one bitcoin from another, as lots of folks that have been banned from Coinbase have found out, and that is a problem. With Monero this is much less of or not a problem at all.
1538  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: A myriad of Myriadcoin giveaways (ok only two) on: December 10, 2016, 11:27:08 PM
Bump...

Getting close to block 1,935,360, so get your guesses in the next week or so I think.

Also, some improvements to bathrobebillionaire's trading competition site. Test your trading skills and get free coins for testing it out!
1539  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Zcoin (XZC) - Implementing Zerocoin technology for financial privacy on: December 10, 2016, 02:35:40 AM
...Zeroknowledge coins require a "trusted set up". We need to be absolutely sure we can trust whoever set it up...

From the first paragraph of the Zcoin section:
Quote
Since monetary inflation of any kind would be detected immediately this also mitigates any trust issues during initial setup.

According to the interview with Gary Le Zcoin does have a trusted setup.
Just after the 30 minute mark or thereabouts.
Unless I missed something

http://www.cryptoholics.com/cryptoholics-ep02/

Zcoin uses a number from the RSA factoring challenge from like 1991 as their trusted setup parameter (RSA has recently been revealed to be in bed with the NSA, but this was 20 years before that). For some reason Zcash requires a much more complex trusted setup that can't just be the product of two prime numbers, and so there was the whole Zooko and Peter Todd fiasco.

The other thing to consider is that the money supply is known in the case of Zcoin, so if someone managed to factor the RSA 2048 number and people noticed the money supply was bigger than expected, than Zcoin could just fork I think. With Zcash there is no way to no if someone is minting coins due to a flaw in the setup.

I am not a mathologist or cryptotician, take it with a grain of salt.
