Preorder asics that were never delivered. Cypherdoc has been accused of receiving 3000 btc to shill for them on btctalk to get people to make orders. iCEBREAKER has also been accused of being paid to shill or being in some way affiliated with the company, but I haven't seen as direct and specific accusation as has been levied against cypherdoc.

I see this thrown around a lot, but without any accompanying evidence. Obviously the nick iCEBREAKER appears to have been involved somehow, but in what capacity no one seems to know.

To be fair, it's possible the site was under attack. Haters abound.

As far as the I2P implementation into Monero, fluffypony has stated, "The issue was that we didn't want to add Java as a dependency for running Monero, so our focus has been on a C++ implementation of the I2P router." https://forum.bitcoin.com/ama-ask-me-anything/i-m-riccardo-fluffypony-spagni-of-the-monero-core-team-ask-me-anything-t2872.html

I'm just curious about why a C++ version of I2P is being chosen since "regular" I2P is Java-based. Does having Java as a dependency pose any risks and/or present greater overhead? As for speed, my guess is that C++ would be faster, but would it be that much faster? I'm slowly dabbling in those languages and don't know enough about either to know the pros/cons of each when it comes to this application. The language I know best is PHP.

I was trying to answer before any possible snarky answers were given as this is the eternal question.  However as usual I was too slow but am happy you were given proper answers.  

Anyway good to see you

is there a GUI wallet?

What if another whale else comes along and goes long buys pushing the price higher

Does that mean this shorter gets liquidated?

Which means what?  

Well, first you need to know what short selling is. Shorting a stock is an investor borrowing a stock that you then sell at the original price but agree to buy back once the price drops. Here's an example: Let's say you think Killabri Cookies is priced too high at $30 a share. You borrow 100 shares of that stock from your broker and sell them for $30 a share. Few days later it comes out that Killabri Cookies has crack addicts in the kitchen and the price drops to $25 a share. You then buy back the stock as per your agreement with your broker but you're buying at $25 instead of $30 - you're making a profit of $5 a share.

Now, a short squeeze occurs when the opposite of what I described above happens - let's say you borrow those 100 shares at $30 a piece thinking Killabri Cookies is gonna go down, but a few days later after you buy a brand new product hits the line that changes everything and the stock balloons to $40 a share. You're stuck holding shares you thought were going to collapse when you're now going to owe money back to your broker. If enough short sellers think they need to cover their position by buying enough stock to make sure they don't lose money, that inflates the stock price substantially - hence the "squeeze" of someone trying to stay short on the stock.

Market still looking bullish in my opinion. Furthermore, someone took out +- 8k in shorts and subsequently dumped them on the bids.

EDIT: Still taking out shorts and subsequently dumping them. Up to +- 10k now I estimate.

EDIT2: Up to +- 13k now. All market dumped.

EDIT3: Make that +-14k. Bear in mind that he has to buy it back sometime.

EDIT4: He took out another 3-4k which are slowly being dumped now, totalling +- 18k.

Looks like you have some kind of GUI GPG. Where is that available? I used linux command line.
Anyway. I progressed. This is what I did.


1. I downloaded the ZIP-file from https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator


2. I opened this site https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monero-project/bitmonero/master/utils/gpg_keys/moneromooo.asc and copypasted its whole contain to a texteditor, named the file as moneromooo.asc and saved it to the same directory where I dowloaded the ZIP file. I did not yet use USB stick since I am just testing.


3. I opened the linux command line and went to the folder where I put those files. I gave command
$gpg --import moneromooo.asc
gpg: /home.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created
gpg: key 4D6CEFC3: public key "moneromooo-monero <moneromooo-monero@users.noreply.github.com>" bring
gpg: All in all treated: 1
gpg:               bring: 1  (RSA: 1)


4. I gave command
$ gpg --verify monero-wallet-generator.html.asc
gpg: Signature made to  7. january 2016 02.14.58 EET using RSA key ID 4D6CEFC3
gpg: Good signature from "moneromooo-monero <moneromooo-monero@users.noreply.github.com>"
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified as a reliable signature!

Primary key fingerprint: 48B0 8161 FBDA DFE3 93AD  FC3E 686F 0745 4D6C EFC3


So is everything just fine? Looks like there is some problem with the key. I am not using english linux so I made some translations to those messages. Do not wonder if the language looks slightly different than usually.

Anyone know the low and high price for 2014, 2015 and 2016?

They also accept scamcoins like Dash and other crapcoins. Nothing special. 

I have another question.  I only have 32 bit linux.  Can I run simplewallet?

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/433w2u/new_32bit_binaries_for_v091/

Those should work.

FYI people, hyc is the author of LMDB, which Monero uses -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightning_Memory-Mapped_Database

Hi. This is just to let you know that we think highly of this cryptocurrency and for this reason we've implemented it for both https://productmonth.com and http://gobelle.me; we will also support it for implementation on the CoinPayments payment processor with the maximum of ten votes for each store that we have. We are building now a more complex platform that will accept cryptocurrencies and hopefully until it's done we can find a solution to implement automatic Monero payments without paying too much for a dedicated plugin. We're looking into it! Have a nice day

mymonero.com generates a 13 word seed, but moneroaddress.org uses 25 words.

In order to generate a wallet that's compatible with both, you have to start by generating a 25 word wallet at moneroaddress.org.  Then, you go to mymonero.com and enter the 25 word seed (mymonero.com will accept 25 word seeds, though it doesn't generate them).
When mymonero brings up the wallet, it will show the balance but no transactions, and you will have two choices:
Import transactions
Pay a small fee to import all the previous transactions for this account (you can always find this later in Account > Import Wallet)
Don't import transactions
You can send and receive coins from your account, but you won't be able to see or spend any transactions you have received before now

My question:  
Let's say you choose not to import transactions, because it's a brand new wallet you just created, and there are no transactions yet to import.
You log out of mymonero.com.  You start sending moneroj to the address.
When you next log in to mymonero.com, does it show the transactions?

There is some issue with merging the MyMonero seed import code that I don't understand, but code exists on github, available to be used in an emergency.

However, a readily available workaround is to create a wallet with simplewallet first, then use the same seed on MyMonero. At that point you have a wallet that can directly accessed with both methods (MyMonero for convenience, simplewallet or another wallet if necessary). I'm sure this method will work with the GUI as well.

I think the offline paper wallet generator (URL?) can also be used to create a fully portable wallet.

I am creating some paperwallets by https://moneroaddress.org/

I anyway can avoid possible botnets by using that page offline when creating papewallet. But to be sure that the nmemonic seed is real, I has to check by some onlinewallet.

At the end of that site there is some guide of using GPG key. I guess a can download the same address-generator code from github and verify the validity of the code by GPG. The guide anyway is slightly messy for me. Can someone explain it more simple way? If it is possible?
