Nothing wrong with him putting your false equivalency into perspective.

Also, you have no right to tell others what to post. 

Also, also, Who made you the one to get the last word.

Silly silly troll.

I am buying here.

Hello Central Bankers.

I've never mined dash.  Mined very little bitcoin, and mined very little XMR (though I found ONE block whee ~15 XMR).  I just don't mine much.  I have not mined any coin near its beginning at all.  I am more of a trader/investor.

My point is that makes this blockchain rotten at it's foundations.

Smooth brings facts and a rational argument to the table and you guys hit back with Ad hominem? 

How about showing how 1.5 million DASH were not mined in <1 day.

By the way... I like Monero, but I am no Monero shill.  I have also owned DRK in the past, and have traded it recently.  But I am astonished more of you don't recognize how big a problem the instamine is.

Erm...

I agree with you here with some qualifications.  The official GUI(s) is only really possible with the database working well.  And when those two things are in place we could see more "masses" come on board.  We have to be ready.

The only danger here is some displacement by a crypto upstart with a gui etc.  But that is an outlier. 

By the way, I found your recent posts VERY interesting.  And so thorough I felt no need to comment much.  I do appreciate the effort. 

This sort of paranoia always astonishes me.

This action, if taken, is easily exploitable and therefore very very expensive.

You cannot both "prop up the price to fit a narrative", and profit.  If this is really what our overlords are trying to do they wont be on their thrones for very long.

As to sweeping language corrections: Mark Twain (Or Samuel Clemens, or possibly M. J. Shields) came up with a plan to move us in a sensible direction.  I do not know why it never caught on.

For example, in Year 1 that useless letter "c" would be dropped to be replased either by "k" or "s", and likewise "x" would no longer be part of the alphabet. The only kase in which "c" would be retained would be the "ch" formation, which will be dealt with later. Year 2 might reform "w" spelling, so that "which" and "one" would take the same konsonant, wile Year 3 might well abolish "y" replasing it with "i" and Iear 4 might fiks the "g/j" anomali wonse and for all.
Jenerally, then, the improvement would kontinue iear bai iear with Iear 5 doing awai with useless double konsonants, and Iears 6-12 or so modifaiing vowlz and the rimeining voist and unvoist konsonants. Bai Iear 15 or sou, it wud fainali bi posibl tu meik ius ov thi ridandant letez "c", "y" and "x" -- bai now jast a memori in the maindz ov ould doderez -- tu riplais "ch", "sh", and "th" rispektivli.
Fainali, xen, aafte sam 20 iers ov orxogrefkl riform, wi wud hev a lojikl, kohirnt speling in ius xrewawt xe Ingliy-spiking werld.

But I am taking us off topic.

Back on topic...  There are indeed times "all intensive purposes" makes sense.

I wonder how much of the transient fickle voice in Monero threads represents the whole picture.  And don't get me wrong.  I am not badmouthing those who are selling.  It's their money.  Who am I to tell them what to do with it.  And I am not just talking about the bears.

It seems the emotional tides roll in and out so much with relatively small (in crypto terms) price movements...  10-20% one way or the other and suddenly people are talking about buying yachts, or staging funerals depending on the direction.  Others think these people are trying to manipulate the markets... I don't really buy this.  Maybe so, but they don't seem very good at it.  I follow their claimed trades and they tend to be on the losing end if they are telling the truth.

But I feel like for every 1 of these very vocal personalities there are X people like me.  Not terribly concerned with price.  Interested on being on the front end of a +EV bet from an "investment" standpoint willing to lose most of it, and also interested in the unique technology behind the cryptonight leader.  And desirous to help in some small way to serve the community.

What do you think X is in that equation??

That is indeed one of the best kept secrets of the whole monero landscape.

The absence so far of the clamored for features is (stronger than anecdotal) evidence against a scam.

I think that is a decent percentage of the chance here.  Also a whale who has profits and see this binary situation as a good sell.  I'd say 60/40

To be honest the Botnet thing is one of Monero's dirtiest secrets.  It's a shame there is no way to avoid it yet.  It is a stain on the whole project IMHO.  But there are worse things.

No, I got you.  The pull request has been sent to the repository.  It just has to be approved and it will go live...  

All updates done including iourzzz.  Sorry for the delay there.

Thanks to all.. I see these donations and will update the list soon!

AnnoyMint is special.  I doubt everyone gets the humor.

Heh..  That's good out of the box thinking.  But will that not rape the blockchain?

Are we thinking of starting a proof of burn (counterparty) style Monero 2.0?

Bah...  That "analysis" looks like a junior high school project.

Make sure to donate to the author with Doge.  A coin he considers to be highly innovative.
