I am asking forum moderators to change the maximum lenght for the Hero and Legendary Members signature.

With the new forum software (hopefully) almost ready, I think that this will .... be put on "hold".

What do you mean by "put on hold"? So far as I know signatures are going to stay.

If this is a change .. a little deeper than just a config value, I guess that nobody will search and change.
Instead, you may have to make another such request for the new interface, when that will be ready.

Shame that I'll miss the start, but I may mine this if it's indeed CPU only.

I like the current pools in the OP  Grin

< 0.14$ is reasonable in my mind for the forced mixing of 3 at POL. which increases every ones anonymity.  And for the people who will say that they shouldn't be forced to make anonymous transactions if they don't want to all I can say is that Monero is a anonymous and private currency, it was always mean to be.  There are hundreds of other coins which don't offer this feature set and transactions are free or the fee is smaller such as DOGE, etc. use those.

You look at the problem from the wrong side, imho.
While other exchanges use 0.1-like fees, this fee doesn't actually help Poloniex either.

I would argue thats simply not possible however many times we are all told the Price of Bitcoin has tanked I won't believe it. Look at a logarithmic chart of Bitcoin, after such a massive rise all it has done has paused slightly. Once bitten by Bitcoin do you personally think you can leave it alone completely?

How many of us are actually "bitten by Bitcoin"? 100000? 500000? That's too small number to actually count for the banks.

Damn! TX Fee: 0.5 XMR  on poloniex.

Can some dev talk to them to lower the fee?

WTF? A < $0.14 fee for a transaction? Are you only buying one? They have to make a profit from their service dude. They are being more than fair.

Actually I see 0.2 XMR fee and I find it quite big too. It was 0.1 for long time and I see no reason for increase.
When I do mine, I get less than 0.1 XMR / day.

They also get 0.2% per transaction, so I don't think that they are that poor. I start having a feeling that they actually have some reasons to want us (the small holders) keep the XMR in their exchange instead of our wallets...

Got something against Estonia?

Omg no! Just .. imagine you have a castle and a guy comes to your door and tells "hey! i'm user38913 from the forums, can we go inside for a beer? ah, and a party?".

Monero's 1 year birthday is approaching on April 18, 2015. How do you guys want to celebrate?

Party at the castle.

I'll be bringing a box of Cohiba torpedo's, been waiting for a special occasion to open it...  So, where's the castle at ? Smiley

A google search for "bitcoin castle" will show you quite well where's that, just.. you may need an invitation to actually get in there  Grin
16049  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do if you wanted to stop Bitcoin? on: February 20, 2015, 11:26:44 AM
I would buy slowly huge amounts of BTC then dump them to make the price fall.
Then do that again.
And again..

..until 90% of the people here will give up.


Yeah, it would cost some money. But banks' smallest problem.



problem is it hits the symptoms not the cause. I would say government dumping of conficated Bitcoin is already trying to do this, but its life pushing a beachball under water it will only pop back up. I guess those in power could simply buy most Bitcoin and buy holding they become the new power rich. But I think banks want to be able to create inflation, simply being the richest isn't enough. But it could become a default and last resort that they simply  decide if you cant beat them join them. But I think they would want to be creating some kind of Bitcoin deriverative that they control.

As long as bitcoin value price is on decreasing trend, people are in fear. And fear makes adoption .. not really happen.
If people will not trust bitcoin, but they like the technology, the banks may make their own regulated, centralized, safe, "backed up with their money" currencies.
This would be the second step.

16051  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I get rid of dust in my wallet? on: February 20, 2015, 10:36:19 AM
I use a lot of faucets and accumulate a lot of dust. This supposedly increase my transaction fees. Can someone explain in detail, how I can get rid of all this, with the least amount of increased transaction fees?

I use blockchain for the faucet stuff.

Options for the future:
1. (Not easy) Use faucets that let you withdraw when you want to. Then withdraw only when you reach .. bigger amounts there.
2. (where 1 is not possible) Use wallets like xapo. Some faucets even offer bonus for xapo wallets. However, transfers from xapo seem to be with no fee. Then you can transfer bigger chunks to your main wallet.
16052  Other / Meta / Re: Warning: Trade with extreme caution!Why? on: February 20, 2015, 09:37:18 AM
Because the trust system is far from perfect and can be abused.
And because there's freedom of speech: you can talk with him, but you better be very-very careful if you try to do business with him.
16053  Economy / Speculation / Re: For people still in denial about willy on: February 20, 2015, 09:31:19 AM
Correlation is not causation. It could just as easily be argued that it was the rise in price that caused willybot to activate.

But correlation and a red flag could usually prevent such problems to rise.
And yeah, I may be wrong. If I would be smart enough for this, I could try to do myself what I proposed Smiley
16054  Economy / Speculation / Re: For people still in denial about willy on: February 20, 2015, 08:55:25 AM
A chart says more than thousand words:
from: http://blog.wizsec.jp/2015/02/mtgox-investigation-release.html



And what stops some smart guys to make the charts in a way that counts?
If some "areas" of the chart can be suspected - for any exchange - to inflate/deflate the price only playing with no money or rotating the same money, then the chart will show an alarm too.
Of course, we need some smart guys for that.

(And then their site will surely get enough traffic to cover the expenses for the time and effort on this.)
16055  Economy / Economics / Re: I just created 100 pennies.. and loaned them out, you owe me 101 pennies….. on: February 20, 2015, 08:50:27 AM
Make a credit card for that kind of pennies.
From that point everybody's "money" will be only entries in a (your!!) database.

Then you can transform their money debts into things with real value: gold, properties, real businesses.
16056  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Can a hacker access accounts with 2FA GAuth? on: February 20, 2015, 08:41:53 AM
Can someone explain to me, how a hacker would attain an account on a website that is protected by 2FA with Google Authentication?

My havelock investments account was hacked.  I have 2FA authentication enabled, and yet, it was nothing to them.  How is this possible?

Also, my computer is virus free.  I don't download suspicious files and I definitely don't run them.  I would consider myself technologicaly savvy, especially enough not to be infected with something malicious.
Of course, after this happened, I scanned my whole computer with MBAM, ADwCleaner, and Avast.  They found nothing, nothing at all.

Where you keep your private key for 2FA?
What device you use to generate the 2FA - is that virus free too?
Were your computer and 2FA device virus free when you enabled 2FA?

These are some problems to think about. If all this don't lead to a possible backdoor, then the only solution remaining would be a fraud from the website where you had the money.

Nu stiu ce browser folosesti, dar eu nu am cum sa reproduc problema...

Cand incep sa scriu bit, imi apare deja autocomplete bifinex cu HTTPS sa aleg...

Cand ajung pe pagina de login, am deja datele de login introduse...

Primesti mail de la ei gen "din motive de securitate trebuie sa-ti schimbi parola". Pagina arata lafel..mail-ul lafel...

Pot sa primesc asa mail si de la Sf Petru ca nu intru pe link.
99.99% din cazuri poti face toate operatiile intrand direct pe site. Si cand scrii tu (+autocompletion) e muuuult mai sigur.
..parerea mea.

Satoshi donate some of the 1.500.000 bitcoins for Greece plsssssssssssss Smiley

If that would happen, bitcoin would collapse (at least its price) and Greece will not get better.
What Greece needs is a big huge internal change.
16059  Economy / Economics / Re: USdollar lost 97% of it's value? on: February 19, 2015, 03:00:09 PM
i've watch a video where someone says dollar lost 97% of it's value, this would mean that there is only 3 % left ?  is 0 % when i can use it as toilet paper?

You'll be able to use it as toilet paper when the same amount of (toilet) paper as the dollar bill will cost more than one dollar.

Until then.. your math is 0 and your trolling thread is 100%. Not bad Smiley
16060  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why do so many newer coins have such high coin supplies? on: February 19, 2015, 02:55:17 PM
People prefer dealing with units and tens of units than fraction of a unit.

ask a zimbabwe guy who paid 20 million dollars for his last meal.  i dont think he'll agree.

I prefer dealing with fractions of units(Hence why coins with lower max coin supplies are better aesthetically). It's simpler. As "tss" said, would you rather pay 10million for a meal, or $2.50? I rather pay the $2.50, it's a much smaller number to deal with.

Also 0.01049 BTC looks pretty strange imho. There has to be found "something in the middle".
