Come place bets on the NBA Finals in Freenode IRC channels #monero or #tippero. Just type:
to see the current bets.

Type !bet <team> <amount> to place a bet, like:
to bet 5 XMR on the warriors.

Who's it gonna be? Darth Lebron or Steph Skywalker? Gotta place your bets before Game 1 on Thursday night.

I'd guess this one, but won't have time to look at it for few days at least.

Maybe some big gpu farms switching over to vertcoin, since it's up like infinity percent in the last week or so...

Are reboots ever happy?

Also, I've put together just a kind of place holder website for some kind of myr project here: http://myrcraft.com/

Not really sure what I want to do with it yet. I'm thinking of trying to make a pretty simple game, that if the player wins they get 10 myr or something, like a game/faucet. I was thinking of trying to put together more of a versus game where people could battle and winner takes all myr bet, but that seems infinitely more complex and I don't want to run afoul of any gambling type regulations. Any suggestions would be welcome.

You can use the -datadir=D:\where\you\want\blockchain\and\stuff flag to set it to another directory. If you're on windows you can just make a shortcut of the executable, then right click on shortcut and go to properties and add the flag/option to the end of the target field.

Fucking sharkcoin, wtf?

Third or fourth, since actually Bytecoin has a 33% higher market cap than Monero. This is likely due to manipulation, but which markets aren't manipulated?

Everytime I see this NeoGAF logo on Steam I'm like, "Oh look, Monero has been greenlit on Steam. How about that?":


Apparently it's not even a game, just a curator:

This thread is dead, see link above (right below giant font).

Same here, took me five '502 Bad Gateway's just to post this.

Ohyea, I see where it is used:
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/blob/master/src/cryptonote_core/cryptonote_basic_impl.cpp#L63

And defined as 0.3 XMR:
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/blob/master/src/cryptonote_config.h#L54

Peter Todd is a developer. __The__ developer says that 20 MB blocks should be implemented in ~1 year, and I believe has already made public the code in a github repo. Also, I think it was pretty clear from some of satoshi's writing that 1 MB blocks were a temporary measure to combat spam, and he was considering (re-)raising the limit back in 2010: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1347.msg15366#msg15366 (he's even going to send out an alert telling people to update, just wait and see). Anyway, my point was that I'm not a fan of the tactics employed by Mircea Poopoo and his entourage in attempting to derail the increase in Bitcoin block size, what peripheral devs think not withstanding.

Also, I know Monero has adaptive block size. I was commenting that Monero still needs to hard fork to implement permanent inflation rewards, and that maybe MP will be bellyache/troll similar to how he has over increasing bitcoin block size. It's kind of a scarcity issue along the same lines I think.

Is it a good thing to have MP on board? It seems pretty clear that Satoshi intended for larger blocks to come back (apparently original block size was 32 MB in bitcoin), and MP and his acolytes have been trolling hard to prevent any change and keep 1 MB blocks. XMR devs have committed to changing the code to add infinite inflation, 1% a year I think; is it unreasonable to think he would be virulently opposed to a significant change like this in Monero, even though it's essentially already agreed upon? Not saying it's necessarily a bad thing he if he is a Monero holder/supporter, just that maybe could be more trouble than it's worth...

Coolyo, not a huge steam user, just started really even though I've had account for a while, but just joined le group

Not trying to troll, I generally find the dev of this coin to be honest and hard-working, but I find the tagline on the Steam group:


to be just a little off-putting because it sounds pump-and-dumpy. Just my opinion. Another minor complaint while I'm complaining: what's up with VIRAL scam pumpage in IRC channel?

Hmm, I haven't tried it myself, but I could've sworn that I read Shapeshift uses mixin 3 now. I thought it was on reddit, but not seeing it now. Did you try within the last week or two, or longer ago than that?

I've heard that a quick 10 s dip in liquid N2 followed by a 10-15 min soak in boiling water can do the trick too...

Kind of semantics, but there's not that much difference between a harddrive and RAM. You can load your whole OS in RAM and you can make RAM act like a HD. It's all 'capacity'.

Cheesus you're classy. With all your activity lately here and on reddit and polo, and posts like this, I can't decide if you're a concern troll or just like 14 years old.
