Many birthdays.

Much props.

So respect.

Working. Thanks! Hopefully, wowlight gets an update as well cuz I've been having withdrawal symptoms from its cute snarky animation and chitty color scheme. I need a fix ASAP.

WOW is officially launched in the transaction zone of CITEX P Board and the trade pairs of WOW/BTC and WOW/ETH are opened.

Come and check the detail!

Keep getting this error while trying to send some WOW from Windows CLI wallet (last one for sure) to TO,

Error: Failed to find a way to create transactions. This is usually due to dust
which is so small it cannot pay for itself in fees, or trying to send more money
 than the unlocked balance, or not leaving enough for fees

In that discussion, as I've understood, sech1 focuses on the problem to make ASICs as efficient and as complicated as Intel CPU.
linzhi-sonia says it will try because he likes this stuff with ASICs and their developing.

What I think? We should focus on TRUE randomness instead of making mining algo to be too difficult for ASICs just because complicated design of the algo, for example, adding a true virtual machine level into algo design, like somewhat done in RandomX.

Currently, cn/r uses block height as a source of randomness. And as linzhi-sonia mentioned, he will just add an interpreter or pre-compiled parts to the algo, because block height is known in advance to the future.

I propose to add TRUE random generator via external ORACLES (like oracles work in Ethereum contracts). Or, good source of true randomness is LONG hash of all the transactions in last 100 blocks for example. Thus linzhi-sonia can't predict and pre-compile no parts of mining algo.

Also we may dream about FLOATING POINT mining algo based on fining solutions of differential or integral equations of random nature.

Finally we may focus on solution findings of SYMBOLIC mathematical problems, randomly generated.

What do you think, Community?

Hello,
simple question: How is current Monero DIFFICULTY calculated?

I can't find or Google any suitable answer (forum, web, official web/form...). Question is about figuring out how is diff. balance made on Monero. I guess that there isnt any gravity algo. More or less it seems to scenerio like: take 2000 block, cut 20% from both sides, calculate average, estamine next diff. to target 2 minutes per block.

Is there any article covering this question? It is kinda essential for tomorrows fork. When some hash power will vanish, then how long it will take for network (how many time or block) to adapt back with lower amount of miners.

Thanks.

hot debate...

is the community meeting discussion available ?

...

I don't support ASICs on cryptonight nor arbitrary changes to this or that algorithm with no useful properties of its own but intended to give temporary advantage to GPU miners for some limited period after a switch.

The same downloaded latest binary I attempted to run on W7. I was hoping the daemon would work on W10 so I could sync and update my blockchain files.

...

FWIW, I just tried it on a W10 x64 device...same thing.

Are ring members chosen by the daemon, not the wallet?

I was reading the 'Satoshi Roundtable V Recap' by Jameson Lopp. Interesting read.

One part got me thinking about how it applies to Monero. It is generally said that running your own Monero node gives you the best privacy.
But don't you actually give away more information broadcasting a transaction from an own node, over using a remote node?
...

Assuming the fork had already occurred, will there be a point release soon?

Which article?
