I do agree that people are concerned to an extent, but I think the large majority of people would be content with the psuedo anonymity of Bitcoin. Especially when using Bitcoin is just easier. Monero does really lack ease of use and there is quite a steep learning curve.
The large majority of people are happy with fiat at the moment, which is easier than any crypto. That didn't stop BTC gaining value, and I believe there is plenty of money interested in genuine anonymity. Finally, Monero is only six months old. Look again in another 6 months.  |

Fair enough. It was me who posted the news story, and Cryptsy hadn't responded at that point I think. Sounds like a weak case if it's true the site wasn't responsible for the breach. Q |

I have decided I want to direct all my mining output to the Devs. I am not a big miner (about 400 H/s CPU + GPU) but I want to make an effort to support development and the network. It would be great if others felt able to do likewise.
I have been mining using the minexmr pool, and suppose I could just direct the output to the donation address in the original pool:
-u 46BeWrHpwXmHDpDEUmZBWZfoQpdc6HaERCNmx1pEYL2rAcuwufPN9rXHHtyUA4QVy66qeFQkn6sfK8a HYjA3jk3o1Bv16em -p x
However, I was wondering if I could miss the pool out entirely and solo-mine directly to the dev donation address. Is that possible.
Cheers, Q
Sorry but you cannot expect to find any block with a low hashrate if solomining. The best is to mine on a stable pool using the donation address. I think solo mining to the donation address is just fine. It doesn't really matter if one person doesn't find blocks because multiple people will be doing it (including me -- I've been doing this for months now), so the donation address can and will get blocks. Plus the solo mining itself helps keep the network decentralized and more secure. The way to do it is to type "start_mining donation-address number-of-threads" in your daemon window. But there isn't any easy way to do that for the GPU part, so keep that on a pool, which also ensures some steady mining rewards along with the random occasional blocks. In choosing a pool, please make sure to find one that doesn't make tiny payouts. Thx for your support BTW. If more people where doing like you do, things would be much faster.
+1 I'm on minexmr.com, which does min 0.5 XMR payouts. |

Fair enough. Donation batch files launched.  |

Risto kept his word. That looks like his wall. It is. Plenty of other folk arrived with smaller buy orders before that though. |

Try again - we've just deployed a fix for a bug that affected users not logged in:)
Thanks fluffypony. That works for me. |

I just got it by clicking on your link... "Whoops, looks like something went wrong." edit - going to the main forum site works fine. maybe it's just that post you are referencing got deleted?  That's a link to the whole Economics and Trading Section of the forum, and I noticed the same problem today when clicking on that section from the main forum page. |

i'm out, waiting for next auction. Less stone, but hey, I hope the XMR/CKG exchange rate goes down accordingly...
That's my position as well. 250+ XMR to join a game seems pricey to me. |

210 Votes (100 existing, plus 110 pending) for Proposal #2 We should move to the new forum at https://forum.monero.cc if possible. Perhaps MEW could be given a subforum area? We could certainly inject some energy into the new forum. Q |

Monero was worth roughly $2.25 not so long ago. We are now below $1 per coin.
Worst part is it Bitcoin itself has lost a ton of value and not even in a crash; but just a steady decline.
Yes, but that was in response to multiple attacks on Monero which I would say it has weathered fairly well. I haven't sold any, and bought another chunk when the price started to dip while I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago. If it is still this low tomorrow I will buy some more. It's still high enough that I'm comfortable, but it's so cheap on the fundamentals. I also expect BTC to recover when the next global economic shockwave hits (if not before), but that's another story. |

3393.5 XMR (half of the registrations) sent to dev fund.
Great stuff. Hopefully we can get to 5000 fairly soon. In terms of priorities, I personally view the establishment of a rock solid, and easy to use GUI as most important for wider community adoption and confidence. Establishing something like coinbase for XMR would be good (possibly in collaboration). Just my 0.02 XMR. |

It has been tricky to follow the various sub-threads here over the last couple of days, but here are a few points regarding development funding.
1) As a moderately large holder, I am planning to join MEW ASAP with a 100 XMR donation, half of which will go to the devs. Hopefully MEW will raise a fair chunk collectively.
2) As a miner, I'd be happy if more of the mining fees, and/or transaction fees went to the developers rather than miners directly. I do mine on a pool that donates to the devs.
3) I mine based not on the current value, but the potential future value of XMR (say 10x current value). Perhaps the devs could consider donations in the same light (assuming you're able to hold)?
4) I'm not in favour of changing the emission schedule at this stage.

MEW sucks. MEOW is much better
Heck no. Spare us the 'cute' cat/kitten images. Far too many of those on the internet already. |

It is too late to mine monero on your computer. Even at the end of April, my future teammates already encouraged me to just buy it, it was cheaper.
I think that depends. I am mining on my PC on the basis not of current value but of potential future value. It is true that only a small fraction of my holdings have been gained through mining however. |

I will be joining - probably at level 6 initially. As for the name of the group, the only problem I have is that I already know the acronym quite well as standing for mortgage equity withdrawal. I suppose that's a generic problem with TLA's.
