Can I suggest to the owners/developers of this coin that they store a relatively recent copy (Windows and Linux)of the blockchain on your website(link to cloud).
There are links in the download section of the OP now for the Linux and Windows blockchains. |

The reddit is now spiffier: http://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/I doubt it'll be active for a few months given that MRO doesn't attract a mainstream crowd (yet). Go subscribe anyway to make it look bigger.  |

I've uploaded the Windows blockchain here and will periodically update it on the OP. As stated in the OP, if you can mine on Linux instead, do so. The hashrate will be significantly higher. Link: https://mega.co.nz/#!fdYnzTRQ!O10VPV-4CyG6xVGr6D72mp3_lJhWP3_QuPgNUdpk4ak |

About time. BTC38, are you watching? |

Yep, that is the exact scenario, I must have missed your post earlier. I am kinda late to the party here and have missed a lot of the early discussion. Hopefully we will get a response from Evan on this issue.
My question didn't result in any further discussion or a response from the dev so I'm glad you pointed it out with a bigger post. This time we should get an answer. |

I spent a fair amount of time thinking about the discussion with dime, humanitee, luigi1111, camosoul and others yesterday about the anonymity of Darksend. I suspected that the logic behind darksend as currently implemented was not sound, and I thought it would be best to determine how exactly darksend was working, and do an in-depth analysis of a mixing cycle and the transactions that follow mixing.
...
I pointed this out in mid-March and never got a response. It needs to be addressed. DarkSend question:
After a DarkSend, the change is sent back to a hidden change address to which I own the private key, but no one knows it's mine. But what if I later had to send an amount large enough that my wallet is forced to source it from multiple addresses including this change address? This could then reveal that the original sender address and the change address are connected. With the change amount known, the sent amount is also known and the recipient can be guessed more easily. Is this correct?

Is it Monero or Bitmonero?  Monero. I don't think the devs are enforcing any deadline so feel free to keep submitting. |

I think he's talking about the total 18m supply. Of course we won't even be near that for years.
I'm not sure "future market cap at current price" has any meaningful interpretation. By the way, your reported trades missed jayaitch's 5000 MRO executed @ 0.000350 today. |

Why such a convoluted order process?
Lowest ask seems to put final market cap ~4,500 btc or about 2 million USD
Much too optimistic at this early stage
4500 BTC? There are 280k coins in existence. Your math is off by more than an order of magnitude. |

I like what you did.
One comment:
To be fair there is an advantage to DarkCoin not using any new crypto, and I would mention that to maintain a bit of balance. Ring signatures are not new, but they haven't been used in exactly this way before, and the implementation is also immature, so there are risks here.
Thanks, I was thinking the second and third paragraphs could be a bit contradictory because I wasn't sure about the status of ring signatures. I'll modify it to be more fair. edit: I'm also not sure what the status/capabilities of Dark Wallet is so could someone comment on that? |

I added a section to the OP that places MRO within the anonymous crypto landscape. The intention is not to badmouth other coins, but to be explanatory so that newcomers can understand what exactly they're getting here. - How does this compare to other anonymous coins?There are two other anonymity implementations currently available or in development. One is DarkCoin's decentralized mixing and the other is ZeroCoin/ZeroCash's use of zero-knowledge proofs. MRO is qualitatively similar to DarkCoin in that it uses mixing to obscure identities, but the implementation is done elegantly through the use of ring signatures. DarkCoin is a Bitcoin descendent and uses no new cryptography, leading to a comparatively convoluted implementation using selected nodes to perform the mixing. This approach relies on the health and good behavior of the nodes, which MRO's more fundamental approach is not vulnerable to. ZeroCoin/ZeroCash uses zero-knowledge proofs, which you can read about here. This is research-level cryptography that hasn't been subjected to years of cryptanalysis and attacks, so exploits may emerge down the road. The RSA private key used to initiate the accumulator must be trusted to be destroyed by the generating party. It also obscures the entire economy, not just sender/receiver identities, which can lead to problems if there are bugs that lead to inflation or manipulation because the damage is hidden to everybody. |

and blocksize is ~15 at the moment?
Do you mean the block reward? It's 17.33 currently. This is a change from 17.59 when the blockchain started. |

Wow, people are switching... BCN for MRO Very bullish for Monero  edit: someone should also keep track of this market.  If noone does it, I will  They've seen the writing on the wall. IMO BCN is doomed, regardless of what it actually is (research platform? / falsified timestamp scam? / massive premine?). |

When NoodleDoodle runs out of stock I can still hook people up, new price:
WTS 5000 MNR @ 0.000350 = 1.75 BTC

WARNING! I will urge you to backup the wallet! wallet files tend to get corrupted very fast! It has already happened to many and now to me! fortunately i had backups! It will happen to you too! Save the files!
What actions trigger corruption? |

i have a newbie question. I have become familiar with mining using windows.thanks for all the help. However, the hash on the other platform seems higher. i think it is ubuntu.
is ubuntu linux.
can ubuntu be installed and run on my current system or do i have to uninstall windows.
is there a step by step guide installing ubuntu (linux)
thank you
You can install it alongside Windows. There is an option in the installer to do so. So you just burn the 13.10 iso or put it on a USB with RUFUS and boot, install Step-by-step guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot |

WTB @ 0.00021. Up to 10k MRO (2.1 BTC).

Then, we can hardfork to 2 minute blocks and diminish any possible allegation of premine.
Hi tacotime, I did not follow the discussion strictly so I am a little confused here. What is the benefit of 2-minute block? Reducing network bandwidth/blockchain size or orphans? Yes that is the reason. There was no valid justification for one minute. The claimed reason was to make solo mining eaiser, but here we are one week into and people are already having trouble solo mining anyway (which was explained by me and others originally). How much more short sighted can you be than that? One minute means many more orphans and reorgs, and as you point out, chain bloat. I was more concerned about this prior to the recent success of DRK, which is similar (trustless decentralized mixing) and had an instamine equivalent to 50% of the current supply and 10% of the long run supply. It seems there are some loud people, but overall the market doesn't appear to care as long as the tech delivers. Since the 2-minute block time is technically superior, it should be implemented with a hard fork. If it's implemented alongside giveaways/bounties for fairness and better PR, then all the better. One related question: does the orphan problem decrease over time as internet speeds increase globally? What are some rough estimates for this effect? |

We should extend this indefinitely until we get 10 good candidates. Deadlines are silly when there are more critical things that are needed like pools and a GUI. |
