I'm going to make a wild guess. This address belongs to user dogeparty: DDogepartyxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxw1dfzr. With all those x's, makes me wonder how long it took to brute force.

XDN Price is falling down  It's a good buying opportunity , someone smart will snap up the few BTC worth of XDN under 100 satoshis , either to invest or to lower the average price of any higher buys previously effected . In any case , we want as much people as possible to use XDN Services , a slightly lower lower entry price is rather favourable and encouraging to reach our goals in in the long run . I'm happy to get some at 70 satoshis. What a sweet deal. |

You guys rock! It sounds like the aliases will be super easy to use, just like the rest of what DigitalNote does.

Much of what I've seen in CryptoNote I really like. I do have some questions. I know that XMR has some public developers, do any of the other forks have known people working on them? I'm specifically interested in XDN. Most of the commits in GitHub are from ducknote and xdn-project and I don't know they are in real life.
A concern, I've read some "conspiracy theories" putting the NSA behind CryptoNote. I haven't gotten to deep into that research, so I'd love to hear from people that have.

coinpayments need rank <250 on coinmarketcap It's back now and in 2nd place. |

In my testing of all the coins based on CryptoNote, DigitalNote (XDN) has been the most solid. So this anno coin is very much in my long term portfolio. If the devs can keep producing solid code and features, I could see this rising to the top of all anno coins.

DigitalNote is the easiest coin I've used. The developers have done an excellent job. You can even mine right from the wallet, so it's super easy to download, mine a few coins, and test its features; like secure messages and deposits.

Prevent botnet mining? lol it's called PoS yo.
pay me.
Currently, PoS seems to only work in conjunction with PoW. How would you get a fair distribution in a purely PoS coin? From what I can tell, all insta-mined, IPO and other like coins haven't taken hold. Enlighten me if I'm missing something. |

When I read about ASIC resistant mining, it's pointed out that botnets can be used to mine the coin. Could adding something like CAPTCHA prevent botnets from mining? Is there any ASIC resistant mining that already takes into account botnets? We shouldn't give up ASIC resistant mining simply because of botnets, that's a cop-out answer.
I think that ASIC resistance is extremely important, as it lowers the barrier to securing the currency, giving all an equal ability to mine, not just the few elite. There has to be a solution to botnets.
Monero making solution smart mining. Many more members mining reduce impact of botnet hashrate https://forum.getmonero.org/1/news-and-announcements/112/monday-monero-missives-20-december-8th-2014"This is a feature that will evolve over time, but at its most basic it is something that will allow everyone running the client software to support the network in an unobtrusive manner. Smart Mining detects your CPU usage, and if your CPU is idle and you aren't on battery power (for laptops and/or connected UPS devices) it will begin mining. As soon you switch to battery power or your CPU activity picks up it will pause mining until it sees it is safe to start again. You still set your Monero address for Smart Mining, as always, and whilst your chances of solving a block may be relatively small (for now;) it is still an easy way to support the network without needing to purchase expensive equipment. This work is complete (for Linux) and is currently being tweaked to work on our other supported operating systems. Ongoing process can be followed here: https://github.com/oranjuice/bitmonero/tree/smart-mining" That doesn't sound like a solution to preventing botnets from mining. I'm wondering about ways to authenticate a miner using some form of human input, like a captcha does for the web. To start mining, you have to verify that you are a human doing it. If someone has hacked a bunch of computers, they must first get the user to preform an action before the mining network will let them mine. This would prevent a botnet from hiding in the background of a hacked computer, mining away. Something along these lines is what I'm wondering about. As I said botnet owners generally point the infected computers towards their stratum proxy. So potentially thousands of infected computers connect to one point which can be pointed at any pool as a single connection like if you were to rent rigs on miningrigrentals that also redirects the rented hashrate. So for all the computers in a botnet only one captcha would be needed by the botnet/proxy owner. Unless you create a pool which only allows a custom miner to connect with that has a captcha built into it. But why would anyone use that? And even if there was an incentive to use such a miner, people would eventually hack the miner so that it wouldn't require captcha or that it could be used on a normal pool. Depending on which group of miners you want to favor, I think the best bet would be if coins would use algos that are the fastest on GPUs, very slow on CPUs and there's no ASIC yet. I'd imagine the vast majority of infected computers only have 1 mediocre CPU and 1 mediocre GPU while mining rigs have 1 weak CPU and 6 powerful GPUs so a GPU friendly algo might make the biggest difference. I like the thought behind the GPU friendly algo. Another thought I'm having is make the mining a simple process, then limit the work a single miner can submit, and require each miner on the network to be authenticated using human verification. That would defeat the benefit to pooling or using proxies. It would also open the door for smaller devices to participate. It might be such that it would only be profitable to run miners on equipment that people would use regardless, like laptops and phones, while making large scale operations not profitable. |

My take is that it will fall afterward. The excitement and interest comes prior to the halving. After it, excitement dies out, slowing liquidity and taking the price down with it.

still watching, still unsure overall
yet to ever buy....
The XDN team is very level headed. A private currency is in the future of crypotcurrency. It might not end up being XDN or any CryptoNote that wins, but if you believe in the importance of private transactions, then you should join in because you are supporting the future of a private coin. The XDN team has brought some important features, like messages that can't be distinguished between other transactions, and deposit accounts. If you like these innovations, then show your support. Download the wallet, start the built in CPU mining. In a day you'll have a few coins to play around with. Get someone you know to do the same, then test out the secure message feature, you might just then be convinced. XDN has been my easiest cryptocurrency experience thus far. |

Why anonymity is so important for you?
I think cryptocurrency should at least offer all the benefits of cash. No? Is cash anonymous? Yes, under most circumstances. then just think about banks. And as long as banks govern everything, we can't speak about anonymity. Using a bank account doesn't come under my 'most circumstances'. But in a modern world you use your bank account for almost everything. You get your payment there, you pay your bills from there, etc. C'mon. Think about what you use cash for every day. Most things do NOT involve a bank. I shouldn't even need to point this out. Cash can be forged, so even though it can be anonymous, it's lacking important features. Plus I can't stuff my cash into my computer to make an online purchase. |

You could get a VPS, running it on a second computer, doing the wallet testing yourself. There has been too many virus sent around, so I'm not going to run your code, unless it's known to be trusted.

1.8% plus network fees to send a cloaked message seems steep. That is getting into the realm of merchant credit card fees. |

From what I can tell all of these are using CryptoNote except maybe TavosBTC, which I can't tell off hand. Also, monutcoin-dev gives me a 404 error. |

Whether consciously or unconsciously , the relentless or dripping moves to bite and tear and drag XDN from any angle … resembles the wolf pack tactic … I say , we shall not fall for it , we shall not lose our time and energy with such gauntlet subcultures any further , and in that sense , let us not get caught in obsolete trenches , booby traps and holes dug out on purpose on our path , but-but , rather let us all lean forwards and move on diligently with bliss , wits , and all the charms necessary to make the best out of our journey , trying persistently to give and guarantee everyone the enjoyable experience we all deserve and long for ! We sail into the unchartered seas of crypto entanglements with the reality of each , welcoming new shores and lands , hailing the magnificent providences bestowed unto our common and individual endeavours by and within the virtues of Liberty , Security and marvellous Prosperity !
Hear, Hear! I drink to this. |

yes you are missing Libboost library. if you are no troll and need help you can pm me.
Oh wow.. I sound like a troll? I just installed libboost-all-dev: sudo apt-get install libboost-all-dev But I'm still getting the error. I'm not sure why I should PM you, as others might have the same issue and could learn from your insight. I'll keep working at it until I figure it out, and then post my solution here. I solved it by installing this version. sudo apt-get install libboost1.55-all-dev |
