Ah I see Smiley good to know

Also I sent something like 1.5 Aeon to another wallet and my internet lost connection just before I sent it
Do I just wait for 24 hr for it to return or is it lost?

Gave me this TX hash but its not showing up on chain radar yet
c5916f0341559a3eee82dee9703087714adedeee1aab2a813216bc18080e3571

The coins are not lost, but the transaction is stuck.

You will have to rescan your wallet and either clear your local tx pool, or wait 24 hours for the transaction to drop out of it.

Could someone tell how to compile AEON wallet from source to Linux Ubuntu.

I think you should basically just need to install cmake, boost libraries, and build-essential package, cd into aeon directory and type "make"

Pretty much this and there is also some information in the README

Whats this about in Aeond is someone trying to double spend?

It looks like someone tried to mine new blocks starting with the early chain. Your node correctly rejected it.

We're planning on building out a MimbleWimble system, probably as a layer 2 / sidechain. We'll likely do it in Rust, though, so we won't be able to inherit anything from grin except their learnings in building it:)

The problem with any pronouncement from fluffernutter is that he has a history of bullshit troll practical jokery.  He has already cried wolf.  And we're supposed to believe him now?

No, not really. Either pay attention to the code or better yet contribute to it.

There is an enormous amount of hate for bfx, but I have found it powerfully useful regardless.  It is my biggest market making moneymaker now by far.  Of course market making is pointless in times like this, when it is just going straight up.

I think the totality of the ire for Bitfinex is their association with Tether.

Thing is, in general I think Tether is a great idea.  They just executed it badly.  And in just ONE key area as far as I know.

Tether needed to be backed by verifiable USD, and they needed to be exchangeable for USD.  And therein lies the rub.  I imagine a choir of lawyers stopping them from doing what was right. Provably USD backed Tethers with the guarantee that 1 tether could be exchanged for 1 USD would melt away all these problems.  But that would require for them to keep that money on deposit.  And to PROVE IT.

The thing that astonishes me is that they have left the door of speculation that this is NOT the case WIDE OPEN.

Even if not freely exchangeable without hurdles and restrictions, it would help if they just did a damn audit to prove that the USD exists.

Unwillingness to show a public audit screams scam (of some type). Period. There is no other explanation.

I did not mark it down for the tail emission. I marked it down because almost 90% of the entire coinbase is mined in the first 4 years. That is not ideal as far as longterm distribution goes, and probably creates a lot of early adopter whales compared to a slower emission curve.

The tail emission does make concepts such as '90% of the entire coinbase' kind of meaningless.

While Monero distributes a 'larger portion' over the first few years compared to bitcoin, it distributes a 'smaller portion' over the first few decades (since Bitcoin's exponential reduction in coin distribution continues its relentless decline, but Monero's stops declining at about 8 years).

While it is clear what I'm getting at in the previous paragraph (especially if looking at a graph), I'm still a little skeptical about these comparisons as comparing a finite quality with an infinite quantity is not really valid. They're just very different approaches and strictly speaking incomparable. In the end we'll see whether either or both work out.

The numbers there, at least as far as CPU limits, are completely out of date as they are pre-RingCT. I don't know of new numbers.

Probably bandwidth and even storage (though the latter less so than the former) would be practical limits well before raw CPU throughput. This applies both pre- and post-RingCT.

Whatever the limits might be, they are all "soft" limits in the sense that they are defined by practical resource limits, and to a lesser extent implementation issues. The protocol itself has no meaningful "hard" limits.

I've gotten to the point that I can't tell if new posters are people (bots) trying to take advantage of sig campaigns or are new XMR interested folks from possibly non English speaking countries?  I think this could be somewhat bullish?

It's a small clue that they always seem to have paid signatures

Deleted off topic spam

Bitcoin costs will continue to rise as bitcoin need rises .. everyone else purchases these cash while the amount of bitcoins in the world stays. It'll make the bitcoin will continue to rise. In addition the need for doing bitcoin is now widely carried out. A lot of companies decide to spend with bitcoins.
For fuck sakes, can someone do something about these bots?  This forum is infested.

Wasn't it that AEON only allows one zero mix transaction per block?

Yes that is correct.

Thank you for the new thread. Hopefully AP will get the account back, but unfortunately in similar cases this often doesn't happen.

FYI the americanpegasus account that started this thread (and has control over self-moderation) has been hacked and is no longer under control of the actual AP.

We may need to abandon this thread and start a new one.

The same.
Had bad experience once sending coins with 0 tx mixin - but it was only my fault.

If you want to use 0 tx mixin then I recommend also using the --fee-multiplier option with multiplier 2 or 3. Otherwise there is a good chance that your transaction is delayed for a long time or dropped.


399  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: November 18, 2017, 04:42:09 PM
I am sorry if this has been asked before but does Monero have lightening network support for atomic swaps?

Come on. Monero is lighting years away from Lightining networks.   Monero is developed 3 years. Bitcoin is developed 9 years. There is also way more money in Bitcoin development.   Monero is currentlly trying to get multisig, that was available on Bitcoin years ago. But this dont mean atomic swaps will not be available with Monero.

Actually Bitcoin multisig is kind of simplistic and easy. It's just a literal list of possible signers. Bytecoin did something similarly dumb years ago but it was totally incompatible with Cryptonote privacy, so what's the point? Monero's multisig is a lot more sophisticated where the number of signers doesn't change the size of the transaction, it doesn't change the verification time, it works perfectly with ring signatures (and of course RingCT) and it isn't distinguishable from regular transactions on the blockchain.

Nevertheless I agree there is a lot more money in Bitcoin development and that any kind of Monero lightning network is far off.

@Smooth, can you explain how effective this would be on BTC?

1. The report itself is quite misleading. Confidential Transactions was initially invented by gmaxwell for Bitcoin, not by or for Monero. Its concepts were incorporated along with ring signatures by shen to create RingCT, which we then deployed (in January 2017). So it is quite inaccurate to say that those considering adopting CT in Bitcoin are going to be adopting something from Monero. It is accurate to say the Monero is the first coin to actually deploy a CT-based system on a significant scale.

2. Bitcoin (and Litecoin) are only proposing to use CT, not RingCT, which means it will only hide amounts. Go look at a Bitcoin chain explorer and cover up the amounts. Everything else about the transaction (sender, recipient) will still visible as-is. Obviously that is a lot less privacy than Monero, but still an improvement over what Bitcoin does now.

3. As far as tx size, that is a significant obstacle for BTC since even with this new, more-efficient CT it would still increase typical tx size (and all that comes with that such as fees) by a significant factor, maybe 2-3x. I suspect there will be significant difficulty gaining consensus to do this, or if it is done it won't be used much and will therefore suffer also from chain analysis and fungibility issues (as do all optional privacy systems). In the short term LTC has less of an issue there since it is much less used and has no shortage of chain space and much lower fees. But longer term LTC would run into the same problems.
