Oh. You must be referring to when mintpal was defrauded, and accidentally sent you 14.5k drk that you had not paid for, and literally belonged to other members of the drk community. Sure, I'm jealous you got 14.5k drk for free... but i wouldn't feel too proud about it if I were you. You got lucky, good for you. Doesn't mean you know your ass from your elbow. How about you bring up the fact I said I wish I had 14.5k drk for free next time I comment on something completely unrelated... that will definitely push the conversation along.

Perfect. Thank you very much.

Hey Bigr, been a long time. How's the gauche restaurant attached to the "fine" wine vineyard grown from ... Canadian ... grapes ... treatin ya? Sounds like a real winner. Follow this guy and get rich. Ever heard of horizontal latitude?

@Naseza no this coin is far from anonymous. No coins are fool proof, but this one no bueno.

If you think Wolf0 is a troll.. then you've had tunnel vision for a long long time. Wolf0 writes ridiculously optimized miners for any algorithms or POWs even if they are 0day faster than anyone. The fact you think he is a troll is a display of awful groupthink and a shame. If anyone knows code and crypto its him, and you should listen to yer elders.

I really love this stuff. BUT, am not there yet. I pretty much need to keep my mind busy all the time or else damage ensues. Have some understanding of cryptography, or more like cryptographic algorithms, but does anyone have any resources that might slow down the math behind cryptographic algorithms at a pace I can step through. I dont mind looking up and learning some math along the way, or perhaps a lot of math. But understanding the effects of a cryptographic algorithm, and undestanding how it does what it does are two very different levels of understanding, and I would very much appreciate if someone could point me in a direction that would bridge that gap a bit.

Hell yes.

I wrote it, I'm definitely no pro but I like python so that's what it is written in. Have it running on a couple cryptos. I get too trigger happy when trying to trade, but the bots do their work well. The best thing they can do is have patience for days, just adjusting buy / sell orders even if market is flat... which I am not personally capable of. The idea is that when I have generalized it enough that it can be deployed in a new market with new api really easily, then start creeping into stocks and other assets, and profits will likely go mostly to XMR because I love it so much. I can set the bot to do liquidity providing, but to keep a certain percent of x currency in the process, or sell off at whatever percentage or haste.

Right now the one in XMR is buying and selling, but stashing away profits in mostly XMR. It's a lot of fun, and zero maintenance once deployed. My aim is within a year or so have an LLC funneling say... 300 bots running on all types of world markets. Hopefully I'll be rich like Dan Bilzerian before the world figures out how much it needs XMR so I can bump up a few notches in the food chain. If not then I'll have learned a pretty valuable skill set. Have a ways to go but its good fun and definitely profitable. Learning some good python and stock indicator forumulas in the process. Idle hands are the devils playground so its been doing a good job of keeping me busy and out of trouble.

### Side note, any update on crypto kingdom? Would love to visit my property but haven't received login info yet. I hope its just the usual ironing out bugs and nothing has gone astray. Anyone have info?

Still here, bot has loved the upward motions, and done just as well on the downward motions. Going to sit on my pile of XMR and not touch, but set up bots in other markets, and perhaps tweak bot to set aside profits in form of xmr. They seem to handle bordom, dumps, and pumps just fine. Time to stick my "liquidity providers" in as many markets as i can manage, perhaps divert profits towards MRO. I think the FTSE and my bots are a match made in heaven. Slow buy preasure incoming. Dump low, give the devs a chance to snag up cheap before .9, they deserve it. Just dont get caught with your pants down late to party.

OK Thanks for the response noms! Will snoop around the site and try to break things (in a helpful way)..

Hi, I would love some clarification as to whether I can receive my login info yet. I am in the db. Have been scouring for info but can't find it. I do see that they will be asking for testers soon which makes me think its not time yet. I'll be happy to wait, but just wanna know if it is active and I am missing out. I received PM saying login info is ready but haven't received it. Have mercy on noob.

Prepare for incoming contradictory statements.

Using my strongest efforts to overclock my comprehension abilities, I believe I at least have a semi-clear understanding of a decent bit of what is being added / modded to a decent bit of the code. As far as I can determine, these additions are utilizing slightly obscure but absolutely top notch and in some cases mold-breaking technology (esp. 0mq and lmdb). IMO these projects seem to be in the obscure stage literally because they are SO cutting edge that they are solving problems (elegantly) that many devs / administrators don't properly realize are current / near future performance affecting issues.. bottlenecks ... failures to deal with massive amounts of accurate info transfer at top speed etc.. in a lot of fields, not just crypto. I think part of my addiction to monero is following the dev work and being introduced to tech that I really would have no chance of being exposed to otherwise. I think it is correct and admirable to nail these additions in securely before the release of official GUI.

BUT, and this is a big but, the lack of a the GUI is an enormous hindrance towards adoption. Of course VPN providers, anon mail services and DNM aren't racing to accept it, because really, its a small (but steadily growing) crowd that is able to understand the gear being packed into this baby well enough to be interested in giving the CLI a try, which means not many customers for the merchants. I'd probably stick to cli myself even after gui release, but without the GUI I don't believe there will be any sudden influx of non-speculative customers willing to try figure out how to use xmr (sorry if brutal). Once we make it easy for the user, the ridiculous tech that is designed to handle massive use without flinching as well as all the other under the hood work might not be individually identifiable by average-Joe, but they will definitely notice how quick, clean, and resilient the performance is, making the experience nice and pleasant for them as they take advantage of the refined and hardened cryptonote as well as dynamic block size and other goodies.

So for now I expect a slow increase in user base due to technically-minded people becoming aware enough of what this coin is quickly becoming that they want to take a speculative position, but I think we are still very much in the speculation stage. Emission has dropped a lot at this point which helps, but polo's withdraw limits make it REALLY annoying to load up a bunch of BTC to properly challenge market-makers intent on pushing down the price.

TLDR; These under the hood gear ups are truly making xmr pull far into the lead regarding technical prowess, should definitely be implemented before gui... and are well worth the wait. But it would be silly to expect an enormous influx of average-joe users without the gui, which means less usage and thus less incentive for merchants to spend the time to implement it as payment option.

Sidenote: The price suppression is pretty heavy handed and obvious, but is effective currently. I think its partly because of individuals and or companies wanting to make large entries while maximizing their purchasing power with no real intent of selling at low prices.  It is REALLY annoying to withdraw large sums from polo without submitting blood sample, and many have been around long enough to not feel comfortable loading up 60 btc on an exchange that's going to take forever to withdraw in tiny little chunks.

Is this the site?

Would be interesting to see when the coins for these new masternodes were obtained. Recall that the emission of coins for the launch was quite skewed and these might not be newly purchased coins starting up these nodes.

The buildings look awesome! I'm also really excited to get playing. I was a bit young and we didn't have Ultima. Also a bit dense in general, so I'll unfortunately be a fumbling n00b for a while. Hope I don't mess up my character or properties too bad while working through the learning curve. But yeah, very excited.

Never owned a single spread coin in my life. Jumped ship when i realized who the director of the darkcoin foundation was, and when vertoe blew the whistle. Sold at that nice peak after the new garbage name was shoved down everyones throat.

Good luck with the madoff nodes, your groupthink and confirmation bias is quite a sight to behold.

*Can't believe you guys are bragging about iphone over android.. real technical crowd here.

Oh, so you are the only coin with a mobile wallet?

This is your *coin formerly known as drk* thread but if you wish to continue the monero conversation I think you might regret it...

I'm sorry that competition makes you so uncomfortable, but perhaps that says more about your own insecurities about *the coin formerly known as drk* than anything else. If incorrect information about someone else's product is stated, expect it to be corrected.


 

I guess you guys missed the part where you brought up the subject???

So, since this is the *coin formerly known as drk* thread, dnaleor's comment was on topic. But since you bring up monero sync time, i feel it is fair to point out that your information is MASSIVELY out of date. A while back they started using the lmdb database, and about a month ago there was an enormous merge to the main branch on github that includes absolutely staggering optimizations to how it uses the lmdb database. They haven't released official binaries including it yet, but if you compile from the main branch yourself, the client synchs from scratch in a matter of a few hours, assuming you a have a fast internet connection and a decent cpu. This is not a joke or an exaggeration, from scratch to in-synch in a matter of just a few hours.... maybe you should give it a spin... or not ... but your info is very wrong.
