Hm, today if someone (Otoh) owns, for example, 1000 MNs, he gets ~ 516.9 DASH per day, so he can produce 1 new MN every 2 days (15 MNs per month). How does community rate this fact in case of DASH decentralization?

Sounds like the same issue as POS. Eventually, centralization is inevitable?

Is their a limit to the number of MN allowed on the network?

If you want to "see a movie with bitcoin", you should go see Dope. It was "officially" the first film you could buy tickets for with bitcoin, and it actually features Bitcoin in a big way. It's very funny. A cross between Friday and Superbad, with bitcoin and dark markets thrown in.

Guess this answers the question if Boolberry is still a SuperNET coin:
http://cointelegraph.com/news/114915/what-debate-nxt-votes-unanimously-to-add-coin-mixing-anonymity

Ring sigs so much better than mixing. Idiots.

The article states that NXT is going to use coin mixing, not SuperNET. Unless NXT and SuperNET are somehow linked... Are they?

a few weeks back i did a reinstall of my windows 7 which was unsuccessful and this lead to my files being deleted on it where my aeon coins. ive used ease us to view the files on my hard drive but i do not know which is the wallet file. it gives me cpp and h files amongst others.
it says i need to buy the license to recover it. i dont mind paying as long as the wallet.dat file is recovered and my coins moved from the address

when i type in search wallet.dat two files show up but the type is shortcut and when i type aeon the zp files show up not the folder

If you wrote down your mnemonic seed words when you initially created your wallet, you can use them to restore the wallet.

Otherwise, if one file recovery tool can't find your wallet.dat, try another. Even when a tool can see the file (or its attributes), it can't always recover it.

Don't pay for anything unless the initial scan can at least verify the file exists. You don't have to pay for anything, really..

Hi Claymore

I've been using v9.3 beta on Windows to mine AEON for a while, but they are changing their PoW from CryptoNight to CryptoNight Lite  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=641696.msg11881396#msg11881396

Any chance you could incorporate this into your GPU miner?

Cheers
Bosco

Probably yes, but not right now because I don't have any free time currently Sad BTW, as far as I understand, this coin has no exchange market even, right?

Whenever you can manage, it will be greatly appreciated.

It has been on exchanges in the past, but was removed and long forgotten. I believe discussions have recently taken place with some exchanges, and I expect it to reappear on them soon after the hard fork around the 4th August.

Edit: It has an OTC thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1068691.msg11450051#msg11450051

Cheers Arux. I've posted on Claymore's thread to see if CryptoNight Lite support can be added.

Can we have Windows binaries for wolf CPU miner? I've only seen source so far. TIA

Also, is there an AMD GPU miner being updated? I'm currently using Claymore and I assume after the hard fork it won't work.

There's a couple of problems with the fact that Bitcoin isn't anonymous. First is the lack of privacy. Blockchain analysis can be done by anyone, and means there is no privacy. Glenn Greenwald does an excellent talk on Why Privacy Matters: http://www.ted.com/talks/glenn_greenwald_why_privacy_matters.

The second problem is the fact that, anyone can end up with tainted or blacklisted coins, even though they have never taken part in any illicit transaction. So we are expected to use a mixing service to try and get "good" coins? And the coins you receive after mixing, well some of them could be tainted too. So, try again? I'd imagine a large proportion of transactions with Bitcoin are illicit, so chances are you'll have some tainted coins yourself.

I'd rather use a crypto which provides the essential privacy we need at the protocol level. Monero does this. It's only a matter of time until people realise the importance of this.

Removing the p2pstate.bin did the trick, though the daemon starting sync'ing again from block 0 at that point, so it looks like it somehow ignored the up-to-date blockchain that I already had. I'm letting it run to see that it syncs again up to the current block and hopefully find that I have no further issues from there  Smiley

That's strange, what version of the daemon where you using previous to the update?

FYI. I'm using your new binaries OK in Win 7 x64. Blockchain sync picked up where it left off. I was using "aeon-phoenix-rc1-win-x86_64.zip" (shows as 0.8.8.2() in the logs). Not sure where I pulled that binary from... maybe was yours too.
232  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin anonymity on: July 22, 2015, 06:38:14 PM
With banks, only law enforcement (LE) can trace your (non-cash) fiat transactions.
With Bitcoin, everyody on the planet with just an internet connection and a copy of the blockchain is the LE.


Kinda true, but not really. For someone to bet the LE the guy would need clear proof that the address belongs to a real, particular person which is a very hard thing to prove.
Monero is great but I don't see it ever replacing BTC, you need a certain level of pseudo anonymity for something like that to work.
Is it true tho that Monero seems to be more e-cash than BTC is. But with both currencies, as soon as you go into fiat you lose anonimity, and with both currencies, if you stay within crypto it's pretty damn anonymous.

Think about where crypto-currencies are going though. The aim is eventually for users to stay in crypto, and not ever need to convert to FIAT.

In this scenario (I know it's a long way off) you surely need the crypto-currency to have the same fungibility as cash. Monero has this. Bitcoin does not.

Blockchain analysis is already performed, and some bitcoin is not accepted on particular exchanges because it has apparently been used for illicit purposes. I read of a service where you can buy freshly mined bitcoin at higher than the going rate = Bitcoin is not fungible.

Bitcoin is great, but relying on extra services, sidechains, mixing or whatever means trust will probably be required. Trust...  That's not true cash-like fungibility. For this, you need a trustless system like CryptoNote in Monero, IMO.

EDIT: corrected CryptoNight to CryptoNote

Release Phoenix

Nice job smooth, thank you.

Win 64 binaries for the AEON phoenix 0.9 release

I built those binaries myself and tested them briefly.

As always, use at your own risk.

I'm fairly sure I used your binaries previously without issue, so I'll do the same again.

Thank you

It is as likely the coin was mined in small private circles as anything else.

Isn't this enough to stop BCN ever becoming anything special, no matter how much effort goes into developing it? I think most people would simply see this as an unfair distribution at best, and at worst (faked blockchain) a scam. Whether either or neither of these is true, the coin is tainted and I suspect has no real future.

Is bbr dead?

Nope. There are recent commits on github https://github.com/cryptozoidberg/boolberry/tree/db

It is quiet here though.

I've just been to see Dope. Anyone seen it? First film to accept Bitcoin as payment? https://uk.yahoo.com/movies/s/dope-become-first-movie-accept-bitcoin-ticket-purchases-142349991.html

It's a good film. Very funny, and should peak interest in crypto since Bitcoin, the Dark Web and untraceable (but traceable!) transactions feature throughout.

Go see it, then tell everyone there about Monero.

On the GetMonero.org website there are quite a few pages under the Knowledge Base tab still needing content. Could these be completed before anyone is recruited to translate? No point paying for translations twice, if you know what I mean.

I'll contribute 25 XMR to this translation fund too. Just PM me when payment is needed.

If you want, you can work on it by yourself. Just submit a pull request -> https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site

I had no idea, but I'd be glad to. Thanks Smiley
