Dedicated XMR Forum should be the responsibility of MEW, but they are too interested in playing a game.
And xmrmonero.com, FOR FUCK SAKE! https://xmrmonero.com/forum/And been announced, people posted on it. And we even discussed two days ago about the new name. Yeah, playing a game... What if you posted there instead, mmh?

If anyone has a forum based domain name, Monerotalk/Moneroforum, for ex, then I may be able to help with constructing a forum on it(You can lease the domain name).
It's MoneroTalk. Personally, I'm not fan of the reddit layout the official forum is using. A forum and reddit serves two different functions. Change your sort order in your user settings to Oldest First and you have a traditional flat forum (although no need to deal with pagination because infinite scrolling ftw. Unless the comment is about Markdown, but anyone who prefers BBCode to Markdown is clearly stuck in the 90s and needs to get with the program;) Users first. If users prefer solution B and you advocate solution A, what will you do? Decide for the user? Bad user, change user? I don't see it as the proper way to cater for user. The good thing, though, it that it doesn't matter: What matters is to have a WYSIWYG editor when replying. For the moment, when I reply, I do not have one. Lot of people don't edit Wikipedia because of the wiki syntax. WYSIWYG just fix that. The WYSIWYG appears some time, but I could not reproduce it yet. In any case, get a WYSIWYG toolbar and most people will strop complaining about the underlying language.

I recommend that everyone make a backup of their data directory now. This way if you were to miss the fork and couldnt get the wallet to auto reorganize, then you could start from the backup.
Would you please tell this idiot which of the 10 things in my HyperStake folder is the data directory as nothing is labeled with that name. Maybe the database? Windows 8.1 While I'm at it, I backed up my wallet back in October. Is this something I should do on a regular basis? The folder in .appdata

At this point, if you're stuck with using windows, I would highly suggest you investigate Ubuntu (rather than try and compile in windows). I used to think Linux was this big scary beast of a thing, what with the terminal, but now I prefer booting into Ubuntu. The Ubuntu release of linux is essentially like windows - fairly intuitive GUI. You can play with the terminal if you want to (say, if you're using monero!), but for other purposes you can use GUI. As a reminder, installing Monero on Linux is dead easy, even simpler than on Windows. Just paste this command line in the terminal, press enter, type your admin password, select your type of install or update, answer y two or three times and you're set. cd ~ && rm -f install_monero.sh && wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Quanttek/install_monero/master/install_monero.sh && bash install_monero.sh The script will be updated once the DB will make it to the main branch.

$250k = nothing. Any one of the current owners could do that if they wanted to, but hey why would they, they are already well invested and if anything, want to keep the price low while seeing what happens technologywise, and to BTC, and so on. Patience.
Thats exactly why I like Monero, its in no way overpriced, the technology is honest, still has some work like no official gui atm but its on everyones table now and no one can say he/she didn't had the chance, unless the person never heard of Monero in the first place. There will always people who could say they have no chance, because there will always be newcomers. That being said, what matters is to have an economy. An economy means there are moneros available for those who arrived "too late" (like presently with Bitcoins).

Are any HyperStake assets and divident distribution system? Yes, just by staking, you receive a very large dividend. For every 10K HYP you buy, you receive 10% every 12 days on average (I make it very simple, guy, don't shout at me) I mean a little different thing. Assets that earn money change it to HyperStake and distribute it to HyperStake's asset shareholders. If there are no such assets I think it should to be issued. Because it can stabilise price HS. To much technical ideas here (it is not bad) but practically isn't financial ones. Looks interesting, tell us more. You may be exactly why we need, a financial guy

Hey gents, I decided some days ago to propose my previous Reddit writings in a more standalone version. They are now available on my website, and you are free to change the CSS for something more adapted for offline reading, for sharing with people curious about Monero, for advocacy, whatever. http://david.latapie.name/static/cryptos/XMR/monerodocs-threepillarsofmonero.htmlhttp://david.latapie.name/static/cryptos/XMR/monerodocs-whatisopenalias.htmlhttp://david.latapie.name/static/cryptos/XMR/monerodocs-whyistheofficialguiwalletnotreleasedyet.htmlAnd I just published a fourth paper (I will create a standalone version later), the value of Privacy http://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/2vofl9/the_value_of_privacy/Privacy is a virtue, especially when you can turn it on or off at will. If you utter the word “privacy” regarding Internet (and thus, cryptocurrencies), some people will immediately think "drugs" or even "pedo-pornography". And you will hear the famous "I have nothing to hide". Let’s debunk this. First, whether or not we have something to hide, we almost certainly have something to protect. Second, not only is privacy nice, but privacy is actually necessary for society. And third, privacy is a right and like any right, you can turn it off if you want - and this is exactly what Monero offers, optional transparency. Something to protectLet me show some perfectly legitimate reasons for privacy. As an individual, you may not want to be targeted based on your spending habits or your location. Perhaps you don't want your family (or ex-family!) to know with whom or at what you are spending your money, especially some sensitive things. There are many reasons, (not comfortable with it, spoiling relationships, blackmailing/kidnapping-magnets...), you may prefer people to ignore how much you earn. You'd rather avoid "neighbours gossipping that you don't give enough to your church or that you spend too much on porn" ( Gregory Maxwell). Your landlord should not be able to scan the blockchain to discover you got a raise and so decide to increase the rent, nor should your employer know which NGO you support. As a company, you don't want competition to know that you signed a contract or to be able to discover trade secrets just by analysing the block chain (customers, supplies purchases, payroll, margins...). For anyone, there is the risk of accidentally stumbling on tainted money (like what happened to this coinbase user). Go explain to a judge that "you didn't know". After all, if anyone can trace the money, this means that you should have traced it too, right? And finally, for the cryptocurrency itself, lack of privacy means giving more power to miners than they are supposed to have. If they can identify via the chain, they may "start to impose blacklists, whitelists, redlists, and other intrusive requirements on transactions. [...] Too much mixing? No "SafeChain approved" tag? Etc. Sorry, your transaction never gets into a block." ( smooth, who also explains here why we have a tail emission).Remember: evil bit doesn’t exist. Countless studies have proved that people behave differently when they know they might be watched. Sure, it means they will think twice before committing heinous acts, but it also means they will think twice before acting freely. The value of privacyPrivacy is not just comfort. Despite all of our rambling about its deliquescence, most of us live in a wealthy First World nation. War-torn countries and totalitarian regimes are places where freedom of press is punishable, sometimes by death, for the journalists but also (and we tend to forget it), for the local informants. When we say we want Monero to be scalable, this also means that those people can use it. We put so much care into making the blockchain technology resilient from technical failures, but make no effort to make it resilient to political and social failures. Optional transparencyPrivacy is not black and white. There are some cases when you do want transparency. Your company may need to be audited, and a charity or government may wish to, or even be required to, make its accounts publicly visible. Here a transparent blockchain would be acceptable. But what if you don't want anyone to find out, just a restricted set of persons, like the tax office, the auditors, the shareholders or the charity members? Or, for individuals, what if, as a parent, you would like to monitor what you kids are spending the money you gave them on? You would certainly not want other person to know (this would avoid the drama of children comparing their spendings in the playground, too). In all of these cases, a mandatory transparent blockchain is not a solution. Monero has a mechanism to address these two situations - the viewkey. A viewkey is a simple file that allows someone in his possession a read-only access to the wallet. This will tell you the balance, the deposits and the withdrawal, but still won't give you the origin and the destination of the transaction, so that the rest of the network is not compromised. If you want to audit a transaction, you can ask the viewkey of both parties and you're set. And if complete access to both wallet is too much (if you only need to verify a given transaction), details of a transaction can be revealed via a similar mechanism on a per-transaction basis. So, you can decide the level of access: everyone, someone, no one. What does it mean, on top of additional freedom? This means that since Monero plays fair with everyone, governments wouldn't need to outlaw it, as law enforcement could still be given the tools to investigate illicit transactions (although they'd need to ask for the person's viewkey first, but that's no different than asking for someone's password to reveal incriminating evidence on their computer). It is of particularly importance considering attacking a major crypto is surprisingly easy and within a State's reach (and even more so in the case of a coalition).This is what real privacy is about. Caring for all parties involved. Oh, one more thing: in our blockchain-powered internet of things future ( IBM, [Szabo](unenumerated.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-dawn-of-trustworthy-computing.html)], opaque blockchain would help avoiding the pervasive monitoring Snowden revealed to us. You would certainly not want every burglar to know when you are home just by scannng the blockchain, right? Just give the viewkey to selected devices and you’re fine. Privacy matters.

Press is the man! Here some more improvements, I wrote before even reading of your new code. Improving multisendGoal: be more intuitive and simpler. If all these suggestions are implemented, address number and the delete command are not necessary anymore (the address number may still be present in the code, but it is hidden to the user). Subjective, based on what appears simpler and more intuitive to me - feedbacks welcomed. Request 1Change
multisend delete <Address #> - deletes an address from the MultiSend vector For
multisend delete <address> - deletes an address from the MultiSend vector WhyThe only occurence where you have to use the number. Get rid of one variable, from the user's perspective. When using the GUI, you may as well copy the address. I understand this can be tricker when using the CLI, though, where one digit is much simpler than a long address. Request 2Changing the percentage of stake to one address just by typing a new percentage for the said address Presently1. multisend delete <Address #> - deletes an address from the MultiSend vector 2. multisend <address> % ProposedWhyOnly one step instead of two. Same remarks regarding CLI and GUI. Request 3Expands on request 2. Delete by just moving to 0%. Presentlymultisend delete <Address #> ProposedWhyElimintate the need for the delete command. Same remarks regarding CLI and GUI.

from what I gather its about the monero economy.
My understanding is that the primary purpose of the site is to promote Monero. It is not a site specifically about the MEW or specifically about the Monero Economy. I confirm your understanding. At least at the beginning, everything about MEW itself will be in an "about us" section and a private forum.

Aren't Spanish and Portuguese already implemented too? Adding them, thanks.

but this would defeat the purpose of hiding the words in a love letter or something. This plus that.

and the masternode demand. This is indeed a brilliant move marketing wise (even though it is catastrophic technically). You basically get extra marketers (masternode holders) and extra incentives (masternode revenue stream).
