I have Win7 at home, but I'm already thinking that's a good time to switch. I've seen Linux Mint and I like it.
With Win7 the laptop is crawling. Mint seemed much faster.

Gavin's proposal is not bad. Not the best, but not bad. I actually somehow support it.
I also understand that he may have gotten tired of all this "too much talk and no communication" and, more important, nothing done.
Still, politically this is bad. And I am completely against this "ultimatum". There has to be better ways, at least between the devs.

Sorry if my previous post was .. ambiguous.

Somehow she deserved "it". But just somehow.
The officer is supposed to think before he acts and he could do much better. Letting her kick him then imprison her for that (or whatever the law tells abut hitting a police officer) would have been a more interesting decision, though it wouldn't have been so "interesting" for the news.

I've seen the days when Dogecoin had its biggest fork, when AuxPoW was implemented. There were also harsh discussions. There were a lot of point of views, but there were discussions and the best solution (from what was available) was taken.
Democracy is not the best way forward. I know that if you want to convince a majority is a tough task.
I also know that bitcoin has to lay a path where people are not afraid of changes, as they may be leaps forward.

But not like this, really. Replacing democracy with a dictatorship is not better at all.

I guess that Bitcoin will have to find its way... different one from Gavin's...

You have on your list coins with various algorithms.

The speed you stated is for your Bitcoin miner.
A specific miner for Bitcoin can mine only coins with the same algorithm as Bitcoin has.

This means that:
* your miner may not be able to mine most (all?) of these coins
* if you want to mine these coins with your GPU you will need specific software miner for the coin you want to mine and the speed will be much smaller than you may expect.
* I don't recommend mining Scrypt (Litecoin, Doge) with your GPU since they are mined with specific devices, in the same way Bitcoin is (just the algo is different so the machine is also different).

I hope that it got clearer now.

I am using bitcoin much more than last year. And most people do the same. Just now a lot of people thinks that Bitcoin is realtively cheap to buy, it could get someday at 1000$ or (much) more, so you should also check the number of untouched wallets: I can bet that their number and the amounts they hold are steadily growing.

Bitcoin was not here when I had my first date, but I would not have mentioned it anyway.
Even now my wife thinks of Bitcoin as an odd hobby I have.

I wish to have an easily working viewkey, at least for current amount and maybe last few transactions.

Why?

1. People used with Bitcoin and its clones feel safer if they keep their bigger amounts of money in cold storage or on "paper wallets". Paper wallets are actually achievable with the mnemonic seed. But if you want to check from time to time how much you have there, how much did you save there lately or other bigger operations that may be needed for bigger sites (tipbot, exchange).. really.. I may not be great on explaining, but viewkey would be great.

2. Legitimacy. I can bet that quite a lot of people feel like Monero would be more "legit" with viewkey. It will not be seen anymore as an attempt to hide from authorities (unless you want to).


Easily working could even be a website (mymonero.com?) where you can do some sort of "read-only" login, using the public key and viewkey and check "a few things". But in wallet would also be fine.

I've started a week with -1 posts... I assumed that a moved thread was the reason..

A and B.
If you find a weakness, you are cool. If you share it to do evil, you are a villain.
And yeah, if you use the information to steal, even if it's not you who found it out, it's still theft.



At first read this was an absolute surprise. At second read it was a "ah! lol! now you have to get Satoshi to help out with the rest ... if he still has the priv key..."

Fixed. Thanks ndnhc for the PM telling what can be the reason.
I fixed the signature (I can't imagine what the heck happened with my clipboard first time...) and now bitsig is happy again.

Uhh, I updated (again) my signature this morning. And now I just checked bitsig and tells "signature deleted !"   
Help please?

Imho it would be decentralization.

Just compare with the current status: a couple of hand-picked high rank users are in the default trust list and they are "the police". That's centralized.
If the change will happen, less ranks will add feedback indeed, but the feedback will count more than the current "untrusted" feedback. Much more people's feedback will count and the only condition is that you are "old enough" in this forum. Which imho is closer to decentralization.

I don't understand your problem. Why you don't logoff, pick "other user", login into the admin account and fix the other accounts.

I agree it is discriminatory. However, a lot of voices ask for newbie jail and such.
Also, we all know how many lower rank users are created only for spam or scam.

And.. there are plenty of high rank users that can help out the honest newbie in such cases. There default trust members that actually do that currently.

It may not be the best way, but as you said it nicely: it will decentralize the trust system.

Actually it's a VERY GOOD idea.
People will learn to look and check all the feedback and decide which deserves to be taken into account and which not.


Maybe, just maybe only Higher ranked ones (Member+? Sr+?) should give trust feedback at all, to avoid too many accounts made or bought to "take down" somebody's trust.

If you have an older/upgraded Dropbox account, it could do the trick. Or more dropbox account and 2-3GB archives...
Or you can search for another cloud storage.

I know that Dropbox and Tresorit offer the option to share links to files or folders and this should solve the storage issue.
But the default free accounts are rather small....

I think that Google Drive has 15GB for start, but I don't know if they offer "link" feature.
However, you could research a little on this direction...

OK, I can confirm, payment received, thanks.

Well, one can always mine the most profitable coin, sell it and buy Monero.
I actually do that.

The translation is done for almost one week and I still didn't get neither the payment, neither a word about it.
Maybe you guys do work hard, but while you were online a good couple of times, you could have at least say something...
