Someone seen hitting the keyboard on any of my machines in a rhythmic pattern is very likely to be staring down the barrel of a shotgun loaded with 6 shells as their next experience.

I do take my security seriously.

Is anyone taking this trolling seriously?

Neigh.

ASAP manifested.  Please pardon my slowness.  Your volunteer list maintainer has been getting multiple certifications at his new job.  Takes up a lot of brain time.

Wow. OK updates incoming asap!

i bought the orders yesterday under 4000 sats. was ready to buy some more tonight. lets see how it goes. this time push past 10k towards. i feel that relisting on poloniex coming then monero investors will be taking a look at aeon seriously

Are there real plans to have it relisted on Poloniex?

Just pushed some improvements to the GitHub - MoneroMooo is working with me on the disconnection issue now.
The improvements are for hashrate, as well as some better output, so far (NSFW): https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/aeonwolf-10262015.png


hey wolf0 what is your os ? fedora ?

Arch Linux, sorry for the late reply. I used to do Linux From Scratch, but this takes less time and is about as customizable.

Another old LFS user who also uses Arch.  I had a short stint with gentoo, and also Slackware back in the day.  But Arch jhas been my distro of choice for 10 years or so.

FWIW aeon compiles easily on arch with a small tweak turning off a warning, but I imagine you aremaware of this. ☺

I am dubious that a VPN company would be troubled by a cryptocurrency because it uses the command line!  Lol.

Hopefully you are just implying their objection was dubious and not doubting my reporting of it. I believe I forwarded this email to fluffypony so he should be able to confirm its authenticity.

Companies make decisions that they think will help the bottom line and not complicate the user experience. Obviously this VPN think an official GUI will make things easier for end users. Of course I mentioned existing alternatives such as our webwallet for non tech savvy users but some merchants want more. Personally I think those who adopt Monero early will benefit tremendously from the loyalty of Monero users eager to spend xmr at businesses that care about financial privacy.

I have no doubt that your reporting is accurate.

I just find it a strange reason for a company as technically deep an a VPN provider to give for a reason not to accept a certain cryptocurrency.  I think if a significant portion of their userbase would want to pay in Monero then they would take it.

If they choose not to take Monero I can think of several reasons before "there is no GUI" that make more sense.  Like "Not enough of our users would use it" for example.

If they were a T Shirt maker I would get the GUI thing.  But they are a company that works in the command line.

the upcoming release of zerocash is good news to all anonymous coins because it will spark a debate about the fungibility of bitcoin. i believe there are many people who have heard about zerocoin early on who will investigate and start thinking about this issue.

I think that XMR needs media attention before zerocash releases its first version. Journalists who care about financial privacy and zerocash should be kept informed about XMR as an (better and more practical) alternative to "experimental" zerocash.

Should it be a new task?

sure, it can be a task, but what is the execution? How is it done? And what is the end result? Unfortunately, I speculate the end result would somehow include "no GUI"  blah blah blah. But who knows. Maybe there's someone in the conventional media that would actually dig into monero to really see whats going on under the hood.

Media attention is needed now. The GUI may not come very soon. Here is one suggestion to deal with this objection

Over $450 and i'll put my spacesuit on.

You might start putting some powder on your more sensitive areas... I'd think those space suits might get a little steamy...

Yeah its kinda cool... bitcoin is making almost all alts look nasty.

I avoid pump & dumps meteors!

Hey, I mined PTS back in the day...

I mined protoshares as well. One of my most profitable overall alt involvements actually.  But something seemed so multi level marketing ish about that whole thing...

There's this Tronsmart Ara x5 for $150 which is fanless, has an Intel Atom x5-Z8300 CPU (2MB cache and supports AES-NI!), 2GB of RAM, and 32GB eMMC.

I wonder how much H/s it could pull, given its 2MB cache and AES-NI support. Only downside (for me) is that it doesn't support Linux yet.


Bah.  I could have linux up and running on this in 5 minutes.

Why would you want Bernie Sanders to be at the forefront of Monero? Bernie isn't at all the poster child for this, because it would be against the Feds and private banks, which I would believe, that he is good with... Plus he's socialist, I thought the majority of XMR folks here were libertarians... spying and analysing your data is going to be his specialty.

Beat me to it.  I was also going to say while Paul is sympathetic to Bitcoin, and would likely approve of Monero even more, Sanders would hate both as they would fundamentally attack his entire worldview.

Thing is they fundamentally attack the worldview of almost ALL politicians except for kooks (sic) like Paul.

It's actually an interesting point from a speculation vantage.  One that comes up a lot... but is worth continuing to consider.  Governments do not like Bitcoin.  And they will HATE Monero.

Breakout if we close daily above 0.00161201

When is "closing" exactly in GMT?
I follow Poloniex closing time, which is 3.00 AM in Greece (GMT +2). So that makes it at 1.00 GMT?

Thanks.  I have never been able to really determine that.

Obvious reverse trolling is obvious

HA!  I planned to post those exact 5 words.

You beat me.

What about we tone it down and remain respectful to one another?


One of the reasons I don't participate much.  Trolling and flame wars stopped being interesting to me in the usenet days.

time to get some cheap XMRs...

more time for people to accumulate.

Oldies but goldies.. check here for some new material to keep it fresh: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1059045.0

Great link!

I found this one particularly apropos...

Just look over the threads of some of the latest coins with the "mighty" masternodes and you will probably find few new expressions.
