How do I examine the log of past transactions in simplewallet? (I am using OS X.)

A: In the file simplewallet.log

Is a simplewallet.log file created by default or must it be enabled? I'm not finding it in my filesystem. (I used Homebrew to compile from source.)

@fluffypony;

Thankyou for your response.

If they are the same people, changing what the copywrite says doesn't mean anything. If they are not the same people, it's possible that it was initially given to the Cryptonote developers, but both parties decided that it should go to the Bytecoin developers. There are several things that could have happened; we don't know.

As far as them being separate entities, it's pretty clear that they are separate entities now. Them being separate entities in the past? It appears that they probably were, but it says that they worked closely together. Maybe some of the people where in both groups. We don't know; it's unclear. If they were separate entities and worked closely together, it's reasonable to say that both groups were involved in developing the basecode.

From the references you gave, to reach the conclusion that the Bytecoin developers took the Cryptonote developers code and don't deserve any credit for development seems pretty far fetched to me. Even if they don't deserve all the credit, they deserve part of the credit for sure. And usually the way it is, the persons who actually write the code or their employers get copywrite credit. So even if many of the ideas came from the Crytonote developers, if the Bytecoin developers actually wrote the code, the copywrites should be assigned to them. Copywrites are not given for ideas, they are given for actual code written. If the Crytonote developers wanted legal credit for their ideas, they would have had to patent them. That could have been the reason why the copywrite was changed.

What "credit" are they looking for? If they want fame and status, it would help if they identified themselves, told the truth about the beginnings of cryptonote/bytecoin, and answered some tough questions. Instead, what we get is a puppet show and obfuscation. If they want money and a share in the future of cryptonote technology, nothing is stopping them from buying XMR. It's on sale.

...
i wasn't here in 2012, so i ask: there were so much pessimism about btc on 2012? i don't think so.. Sad

there was plenty, and nowhere near the infrastructure reassurances that exist today.


^ This.

2012 and the second half of 2011 were quite pessimistic. Bitcoin had gone from <$1 to $32 in a couple months, then bled from $32 to <$2 over the course of 5-6 months. With no infrastructure development, no VC money, no high-profile entrepreneurs, economists, major merchants, or government departments taking any positive interest at all. Price stood near $4 for most of the first half of 2012, IIRC, and many people had left Bitcoin for dead.

And without any real-economic activity, infrastructure, or mindshare, it was a MUCH more pessimistic situation than today.

To anyone who was around in those times, it's quite easy to chuckle at today's short-sighted naysayers. The success Bitcoin has had since 2011 is incredible. This has all happened *much* faster than I thought it would.

On the one hand, time flies when you immerse yourself in Bitcoin. On the other hand, the volatility ages you!

Prediction: there is a big chance, that the first privacy-based coin that is widly accepted at the (3-5) then leading (major) Dark Markets  will dominate.
Fixed your post.

I think there is a good chance it will be a while before we see robust dark markets, so there will be a lot of churn and this won't necessarily have a large influence.

Of course this is speculative, but the history is of dark markets (especially leading ones) getting shut down and there is no reason to expect the near future to differ from the recent past.


OpenBazaar seems like it would go well with Monero, when they both mature.

The dark markets are cointelpro honeypots created to FUD Bitcoin, depressing its price, allowing the FUDsters to accumulate. When they have enough, they make "arrests," stop the FUD and allow the price to rise.

Just to clarify, this is the price per gold?
like 0.12 XMR per gold?
(so 1000 would cost 120 XMR?)


Yes, that's right.

Why should someone (not knowledgeable about bitcoin) should start spending hours and hours to learn about bitcoin's concept. Why should that someone start right now?
Why? Because of the enormous opportunity cost of not learning about it. If you're wise enough to be here asking this question, you're wise enough to know why you need to know.

The next halving is more like March-April 2016. We are a bit ahead on schedule.
I dont see how the halving is relevant to mass adoption in any case? how does the mass care about halving, when most dont even know what Bitcoin is? what would make them want to own and use Bitcoin? how does the halving help.

Halving helps because it causes a decrease in supply, which promotes increases in price, which leads to media attention and even more speculative buying and price increases. A new wave of users is tempted to buy because of "fear of missing out."

How much would you have now if you had bought $1 of bitcoin on each day the price was lower than 12 months earlier?

Hi all,

I got myself a bit of monero at these bargain prices, however I have to keep it on an exchange because I cannot get a Linux wallet to work at all. I have tried many things. I am using Ubuntu version 12.04 32 bit.

I would appreciate it if some of the experienced linux heads could help me out here. Don't wanna keep XMR on the exchange the whole time Smiley

Thanks

I think you must use a 64 bit OS.
