Said otherwise: Monero is surprising resilient. This tells something about confidence and expectation. Which in turns puts a burden on us all, but one burden I am welcome to carry!

I would take them all. Why not having multiple addresses? Then it wouldn't matter which one is the main one (obviously there needs to be a main server). Moreover, supporters could easily register their own Monero-www-address and link it to some of the official sites. We already have them all, but only one will be canonical, the others will be 301 redirect.
@davidlatapie:
I saw your other posts on this same topic, but didn't respond as I feel divided. Haven't figured out a personal preference myself yet...
It's great that you're asking for community feedback on this one, especially as the MEW website is an outwards facing project.
Votes are reset with the new proposal, so please restated your vote (be it the same or the new contestant).
New listPlease vote for only one (othe domain name may be redirected, recycled...). This is the one for the MEW website - it should only be open to MEW members to choose, but since I did not get much answers... Note that this is vote is still purely consultative. The final say is by MEW members. Update: voters can mention one particular post (that they pledge to update) for rationale for their choice. Remember than you can change your vote (but then, you must explain why). Update: voters can mention one particular post (that they pledge to update) for rationale for their choice. Remember than you can change your vote (but then, you must explain why). Votes without a link date from before the arrangement. Remember to follow the voter's links before voting since at least some of them gave rationales about their choice, rationales that could help you choose better. There are also some very interesting discussions on the MEW thread relative to SEO and URL branding, I encourage you to read them too.

here is the output of the help for multisend: multisend print to see what is being sent multisend enable to activate multisend multisend disable to deactivet it. This does not reset the addresses and percentage, which is good multisend (address) X, to send an percentage X to a certain address. You can several addresses at the same moment. There are more option, but there are the most useful. |

I stake several times per day and I managed to have only one block at more than 30 days (a 1666 block) with my new average size of 10K. But with 10% interest, I am considering going back to 9000 (already done) and even 8000 (today I combined my first at 8000). I'm glad to see so coding getting consistent, where a lot of coins stop coding after the pump (or even before) Regarding the address deletion issue: I just compiled from source and... no difference. It is possible this is related to my interface bug (no main menu wth file etc.) although it seems unlikely. I'd like to mention that Myriadcoin is interested in porting OpenAlias ( What is OpenAlias). HyperStake would miss the "first Bitcoin fork with OpenAlias" prize but it would then be easy to port it too. Presstab, you asked me earlier if there was already a Bitcoin port of OpenAlias and I erronously told you there is not: there is indeed a PR for electrum, you (or jaybeeuk) could use it as a starting point: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/pull/986Out of curiosity: what is your highest block height atm? My highest is at 237231. |

I received only two answers by posting on the MEW channels, so I will post here: We are considering changing the URL of the MEW website. Presently, it is xmrmonero.com, mainly because we had it available by then  What we have at our disposal: xmrmonero.com gomonero.com xmr-monero.com go-monero.com We have to consider both SEO and branding. Starting with "xmr" seems better SEO wise (if there is a dash); starting with "go" seems better branding-wise (the dashed version would probably also help for SEO on "monero"). "Go monero" can be understand as the traditional encouragement, or like the injonction (like "gone Google"). Any feedback appreciated On IRC, one person implied he prefers gomonero -or go-monero, I don't remember) On the MEW thead, one person said he prefers xmr-monero, because gomonero looks like a cheerleading name. Your turn! |

I got tired of everyone wanting a monday missive. So I made one. Because thats what we do in moneroworld. Congratulations! Mind if I improve the layout on xmrmonero (headings, etc...)?Done. And also moved on first page of the MEW site ( link). |

Edit: The case for Darkcoin masternodes being MSB is actually very simple. The facilitate the exchange of one kind of DRK (un mixed) for another kind of DRK (mixed). This process adds value to the DRK of holder. The masternode is compensated for this service. So they are exchanging / converting money. DRK is not money. BTC is at best a commodity. Case (unfortunately) closed? |

I see one use of multiple addresses: when you don't want to know that two transactions go to the same address (like if you don't want people to find you by googling your address which is on bitcointalk signature of profile, or openalias, for instance).
But since there is no much of these needs, you may as well just use a second wallet.
It doesn't matter if your address is known, as it's impossible (with our current cryptography) to analyse the blockchain and find transactions you were involved in. Even if that was possible it still wouldn't be disastrous, as all that can be observed are transactions you *may or may not* have been involved in (thanks to ring signatures). The only time multiple wallets are necessary are for separating your personal and business accounts, for instance, or for a company that wants each department to have its own address and accounts. I was more thinking about the same address being a signature on weloveteddybears.com and gunenthusiast.com.
Pippo, to decide about Monero: 1. Follow this link: https://xmrmonero.com/faq/en/monero-matters2. Follow all the links (some are just one post to read,not the whole thread) If you are interested in the vision and the philosophy of the dev team, I recommand you "Three Pillars of Monero" if you want to know about the vision and spirit If you are more interested in "Monero vs Darkcoin", read my comment on "Darkcoin, Anoncoin, Shadowcash, Monero" You should have a good summary. We are working on creating a more consolidated document. |

"impossible to counterfeit" should be a major selling point of cryptocurrencies. Not sure why this isn't advertised more.
A large part of taking credit instead of cash is because it's tough to counterfeit the value, yet identity theft/cc theft is still a reality. I actually have a slogan idea that says "Monero: better than cash", since it provides all the advantages of cash (except independance over electricity and internet, granted) plus completely unforgeable, as you said (barring 51% attack, of course) and low friction (since it is electronic).
A question about the Monero wallet: doesn't it rotatte the addresses? I'm asking this because in Bitcoin this practice is strongly discouraged, not just for privacy reasons, but for security reasons. In Monero I think the reuse address shouldn't be a issue for privacy, but what about security?
You only have one address in Monero. Since outputs use dual-key stealth addresses there's really no need to have multiple addresses in a single wallet:) I see one use of multiple addresses: when you don't want to know that two transactions go to the same address (like if you don't want people to find you by googling your address which is on bitcointalk signature of profile, or openalias, for instance). But since there is no much of these needs, you may as well just use a second wallet. |

Hello everyone. I'm considering using one how these "password reminders" like Last Pass. I historically preferred to avoid a software for this, because you constantly run into situations like "no access to your machine", "no battery on the phone", "what if no internet", "inconvenient", "place your data in the hand of a party that can go bust", etc. But I'm starting to considering it. My present password strategy is: use a high entropy password (estimated 98 bits on http://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php) with a part that is always the same (the high entropy part) and a part that can hinted by contextual information (and has low entropy). For instance, "!?.op." plus the three last letters of the domain name (excluding the tld). I see three problems here: 1. Password-reuse. There is still a pattern. If I happen to enter my password on a site that gets hacked or is just malicious, the pattern can be identified. Of course, chances are low that the hacker bothers when he has so much other simpler password at its disposal. 2. No change of password. It is nigh impossible to periodically cycle through all the websites to change the password (a database would make it less difficult because I would not have to remember all the websites but it would still be very tedious, to the point it would simply not be done). And if I don't spend days changing the password on all the websites in a row, I would then have to remember three or four different patterns. 3. Exceptions handling. You will always find a website that doesn't allow one of your character (same issue with the space in passphrases) or places an upper limit in characters (particularly annoying for passphrases). Those exceptions must be handled by hand. On the opposite, with dedicated software, there is basically no exception, since there is no rule. As you can see, both approaches (pattern-based and dedicated software) have their limits. All in all, which strategy would your suggest: pattern-based passwords or dedicated software? Thank you |

I propose escrow service for BTC and XMR. 1%, 5% of my commission go to the broker who find me a deal. My reputation thread. I already successfully escrowed twice (XMR-BTC pair). Minimum amount to escrow is a transaction of 1000 €/$ equivalent (so a 10€/$ commission for me including 50 cents I send to the broker). User Fee Links NotesDavid Latapie 1.0% Reputation thread XMR or BTC. Also on IRC as davidlatapie. You find me a trade, you get 5% of my commission. Escrowing page (emptied after the deal, no address ever written) |

You still haven't explain what is the blockchain. You could explain why there is a blockchain, what trust issues did it solve, and how are they linked together. "How to solve double-spending?" deals with your first sentence. "Why bother with blockchain?" deals with your second sentence |
|
|

I've tried to explain the concept of the blockchain to my parents and they just dont get it, because they dont see why there has to be a public ledger for every transaction.
Interesting. Do they understand why there is a ledger at all? If not, then you should give them a lesson of Accountancy 101. If the issue is the "public" part, well, I don't know yet what to do, but probably it is not that difficult either On another note, I just finished reading The Stateless Currency and the State: An Examination of the Feasibility of a State Attack on Bitcoin. It is damn interesting as a whole (I mentionned it on my cryptofiat thread) and the excerpts below are particularly interesting for general education: When one spends cash, it is simply spent; that is, when a specific physical bill is used to purchase one good, it cannot also be used in a separate purchase at the same time. Electronic currency, however, is not tied to a specific physical object. Rather, it is stored in the form of data, which can be easily replicated. As such, double-spending electronic data essentially requires nothing more than making a copy of that data and sending it to two separate vendors. To be sure, one could “double-spend” cash by creating counterfeit copies, but the double-spending problem with electronic currency is all the more salient because copying data requires almost no additional effort. Furthermore, copied data, unlike counterfeit bills, is literally indistinguishable from the “original.
[...]
As Jerry Brito points out, the traditional solution to this problem of doublespending with electronic currencies was to trust a central third party, e.g. a bank or credit card company, to maintain the authoritative record of all legitimate transactions. Bitcoin, however, eliminated the need for such a third party by distributing the burden of maintaining that authoritative record of transactions across a decentralized network of “miners
[...]
Therefore, where centralized schemes require trust in the central authority, Bitcoin requires trust in the idea that the majority of mining power will be aimed at adding legitimate blocks to the block chain.
[...]
The role of trust, therefore, is not done away with in Bitcoin but merely repackaged.
[...]
There is no predetermined central authority in Bitcoin, but the possibility of one emerging is ever present. |
