This weekend will happen probably 3rd biggest Monero yearly event after the Konferenco and the Monero village at Defcon. Monero at the 36C3: Chaos Communication Congress in Leipzig Germany.

Here you can find more links about the history of the event and about three days schedule:  https://old.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/efuoxq/monero_at_the_36c3_chaos_communication_congress/





EDIT: When I look at schedule https://frab.riat.at/en/36C3/public/schedule  I am not sure if it is 3rd anymore.




What were the Konferenco attendance #s?

Maybe 100 at most I think.

Has there ever been a cryptocurrency that existed for a long time outside of the top 20 and then underwent a revival and became very popular? I don't think so. I think gaining and maintaining some high level of momentum is critically necessary to be a successful cryptocurrency. Maybe Byteball will be the first one, but I'm surely not betting on it.

How many in top 20 are old timers? Who is, beside some very few coins in top 20, maintaining high level of momentum? So, "successful cryptocurrency" is just top 1, top 2, top 3?
Seems to me that general tactic is to make a new coin after every few years and let the old one die. No wonder it's difficult to get any adoption, if cryptocurrency lifetime is shorter that the fiat 24 year life-expectancy.

You didn't answer the question.

Number of transactions is looking good in last 3 months.

                 Monero     Bitcoin       Ratio
Nov 2019   212,716   9,243,776   2.30%
Oct 2019   179,114   9,892,853  1.81%
Sep 2019   159,225   9,798,992   1.62%

You know it would be interesting to see a chart of historical BTC/XMR tx ratio vs. BTC/XMR price...

Next series will be the Carbon Chamaeleon series. I plan on doing another two note set series, and might do the same denominations as before (would people be interested in seeing another denomination?). We have to sell at least 50% of the notes to continue the project and produce another set of notes, and the rest of the sales, will of course go to toward the development fund.

Thank you guys, and make sure to get what notes you want before the Carbon upgrade! Smiley

Actually I would love to see successive denominations: 0.3 XMR and 0.4 XMR. For me it would make it more appealing to collect! Grin just my 2 piconero's.

Or 0.5 and 1 XMR denominations...

Hey guys, where is the best places to sports bet with XMR?


Does anyone have Referral links they would like me to use?
I don't really see any. Looks like an opportunity for some enterprising chap.

Couldn't you send your XMR to xmr.to, then then have xmr.to send the BTC to your choice of site?
For your earnings from the site (hopefully), send the BTC to a new Electrum wallet, then bisq for trading BTC to XMR (the electrum wallet is an optional step).

Betcoin allows direct monero deposits I'm pretty sure.

It's proof of work with no premine and very slow emission curve. Who exactly could be getting scammed?

Why is not on coinmarketcap or on trusted exchanges?

I think tradeogre is reasonably well trusted, haven't ever used citex tbh. Coinmarketcap requires 2 BTC payment to list if coin isn't on two major exchanges. Also coinmarketcap is a ducking scam so who gives a shit about them?

You can click send on PayPal and the money arrives 99.999% of the time. Pretending that there's no difference between Bitcoin, Bitcoin cash, Monero, and Verge and saying that we should all just hold hands and sing Kumbayah is pretty asinine, imo.

Clam was probably the first relatively large scale successful airdrop, maybe not the first, but way before decred. There was if course the infamous auroracoin airdrop that never happened, afaik, but also 2014ish. Stellar Facebook giveaway shitshow also around then. It wasn't really an original idea by the time decred did it, but it seems like they did a pretty good job vetting people and still achieving relatively widespread distribution.

Could you explain a little more or provide any source for more information?
No, because there was no phishing or scam. Gembitz is just mad he missed it. All you needed to sign up for the airdrop was a social media account with some significant posting history...

Now I am surprised and literally don't understand why such an obvious FUD from Gembitz?

@Gembitz can you please explain what you mean with: "the "airdrop" was a bittrex insider phishing scam"?

I would like to hear both sides of the story before drawing final conclusions, such an ordinary human caution, forced by my experience  Wink.

Of course, thank you Jwinterm for fast answers and explanation. I would like to hear more details about this airdrop, like how long it was ongoing, who can participate, how much coins were distributed, when was the start and the end, and so on. That is why I asked for a source of information because I wanted to know more details.



Afair it was announced and then there was three or four months to sign up for it. It distributed 4% of the total supply I believe. If you want to see the level of discourse gembitz generally engages in just look at the past few pages of his post history.

No, because there was no phishing or scam. Gembitz is just mad he missed it. All you needed to sign up for the airdrop was a social media account with some significant posting history. Could people have received multiple airdrops? Probably. But if you're paranoid in general about not leaking identity on social media then there would have been no way for the airdrop to reveal additional info about yourself. I don't know why he always lumps Bittrex in to his claims.

I shouldn't even be wasting my time talking to a troll.  
you have always been one here with a speech disguised as constructive criticism.
you proved again to be a troll when calling gembitz when he was taking too long to reappear here
But anyway, my first language is Brazilian Portuguese, in it we have a word for "almost impossible", for something that doesn't pay to be done. This word is "inviável".
Unfortunately I found nothing similar in English and i thought that "unfeasible" could replace it.


Lol I just think it's funny how dedicated gembitz is to harassing you guys. He's in the Monero thread too, but people don't let him get under their skin like you guys do. If you dismiss criticism as FUD from a troll them you're no better than Dash or Zcash or thousand other indefensible projects. That wasn't really my criticism anyway - I was basically just repeating what I heard Luke Powell say at Coinbase Custody event when asked about how difficult it would be to cause a hardfork/chain split. He certainly didn't say it was impossible or even nearly so.

Wind_Fury, You're wrong.
Decred can have its code copied and pasted to create another coin, which is considered a fork, but the blockchain with decred's history cannot be split into two like ETH / ETC, bitcoincash, etc.
It is unfeasible  to do that.
I suggest you go to matrix and talk to a dev about it.

Preventing forks from breaking away with a shared tx history prior to some block is impossible. If you're going to hardfork away from decred, then you can do anything you want to maintain the tx history. For instance, at block X empty the ticket pool, reset ticket price to 1 dcr, reset PoW diff and change algo, if necessary modify other checks to allow ticket pool to be emptied, etc. It's ludicrous to pretend that no one could hard fork decred and start a split chain with a shared tx history prior to some block. Would it be more of a pita than doing the same thing to Bitcoin? Sure. Would it be impossible? Controller nuclear fusion isn't impossible, this sure as shit isn't impossible.
