why installing the wallet of this coin is such a pain in the ass ?!!!

because the focus has been on back-end cryptography and anonymity, not user experience (UX)

hard to install wallet will discourage people from using it, i'm discouraged now ...

can you help me install it ?

To be honest that is a good thing for now.  We need the devs to finish the transition to a database and make some other core decisions before working on making the coin easy to use.

Hopefully they are doing this now.

Frankly, using the command line wallet is drop dead simple.

Furthermore there is silent miners for botnets which you can buy only for 10$ on the forum for hackers.

That's very interesting.

What is also very interesting is how we have two separate accounts showing up to comment on it within a few minutes. The accounts were
created with a day of each other four months ago, and both have the same history of one line posts written with the same style.

What a coincidence!



Bume.  Smack.

cAPSLOCK: 1.05 XMR

Alright! I will include you in the records in good faith.  I expect fluffypony can correct me if need be.

small donation sent from my tiny hoard of XMR...
 Smiley
details PM'd to fluffypony.

Thanks Devs for all your work.

edit: well, i tried to at least.

my wallet balance was reduced, the Windows GUI by Jojatekok said that it sent, but doesn't show the Send in the transaction history tab. i used a payment ID (9D27A0AB38EDA6A1A7C0D0A17CBD69A4E0D0C88C0A3FF2F1F0614D7CBA34E89E), but i can't find the transaction in monerochain.info when i search by that payment ID.

So, maybe you guys got the little donation, maybe not.  XMR still kicks my ass it seems.  Huh

It seems odd that payment ID is all caps.

Do you have a tx ID and amount?

I thought this same thing.  Hard forks probably do carry an inherent negative impact on a coin's value.  But depending on the reason for the fork that impact could easily be overshadowed by a positive response.  I think this factor is coin/situation dependent. 

I do not agree it is inherently negative. In fact a coin where developers are unable make important changes (including hard forks) for whatever competence, organizational, or political reasons could see its value decline for that reason.

So I agree what what you said about it being coin/situation dependent.

Hard forks done for bad reasons or which are poorly executed will hurt a coin value.

We may just agree.  My statement that a hard fork has negative impact is meant it is implicitly negative when viewed alone.  An analogy is the surgeons scalpel.  It is going to leave a scar, but under normal circumstances that impact is overshadowed by the value of the surgery.

A question.  What circumstances would a hard fork in BITCOIN not be viewed as negative by a significant percentage of users?  In my opinion there isn't one.

Monero and other alts have an advantage of being younger, and less established thereby reducing the impact.  We can get away with more for now.  And I think the more established the platform, the more -EV effect when there is a fork.

But if/when the devs choose to fork Monero there will be downstream issues.  We cannot pretend othewise.
5408  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: rpietila Altcoin Observer on: July 26, 2014, 11:31:17 PM
Wouldn't be easier for people to just start over with a new currency than deal with a hard fork?

Exactly. The confidence in Monero after the hard fork will be shuttered. It's much better to admit it and try again with new coin than to let the whole concept limp in the future because of the initial design problems.

Are you guys serious? You really think if a better technology comes along, that it is easier to build that network out with a new coin (not to mention testing, getting a developer network behind it, promoting it, etc.) instead of just adding that to Monero, BTC, etc? And then rinse and repeat with each new technological advancement. That makes absolutely no sense.


I thought this same thing.  Hard forks probably do carry an inherent negative impact on a coin's value.  But depending on the reason for the fork that impact could easily be overshadowed by a positive response.  I think this factor is coin/situation dependent. 

A hard fork is serious business, but not the end of a coin in every case IMHO.  I am sure there is precedent for this.

Vericoin did an EXTREMELY controversial hard fork recently, and although the price has reflected a clear negative response the coin is by no means dead or dying because of the fork. (even though much of me thinks it should be)

Please forgive my shameless plug for the donations thread:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=700400.msg7914927#msg7914927

The monero devs are not paid by a premine like so may other alts.  Donations are a very small price to pay for that critical part of the design.

Here are the donation tiers... secure a spot in the history of this coin today:

Donators of 1,000 XMR - 6th dan monero superheros with 1 crate of Diamonds

Donators of 500 XMR - 5th dan monero superheros with piles of Rhodium

Donators of 200 XMR - 4th dan monero superheros with bars of Platinum

Donators of 100 XMR - 3rd dan monero heros with coins of Gold

Donators of 50 XMR - 2nd dan monero heros with a stash of Silver

Donators of 20 XMR - 1st dan monero heros with a hoard of Copper

Donators of 10 XMR - 1st kyu monero supporters with a bale of high quality hygiene paper

Donators of 5 XMR - 2nd kyu monero supporters with a wad of U.S. dollars

Donators of 2 XMR - 3rd kyu monero supporters with a holding of Goxcoins

Donators of 1 XMR - 4th kyu monero supporters with a bag of Darkcoins


On this link, you can also see who has earned one of these pretentious ranks!  Go put your name among the honored ones:

Could you please add this donation:
10 monero sent to development fund as per request by equipoise.

Done.

Keep up the donations folks.  This is a small price to pay for a non premine coin.  The devs are made accountable by our donations as well as rewarded by them.

Do you not agree that non-level playing field for distribution and concentrating coins more than would be normally is a flaw?

Unless you can design a system that adapts to emerging attack vectors you are always going to see better locks producing better lock picks. It is an arms race.

Thank you.  You have resolved this manner in a way where I will be comfortable still doing business with you.

Dear cAPSLOCK,

We have sent out the information on this issue and the instruction on how to resolve it as quickly as possible to all affected "hitbtc" customers.
Would you mind confirming the problem does not persist anymore, please?

Thank you for choosing our service,
The "hitbtc" team


Yes.  You resolved the matter in an extremely satisfactory way.  At the onset of this problem I was concerned enough, that frankly I had chosen to limit my exposure in the future.  But as I said in that quote, I will still feel comfortable sending my money to and from your exchange after the situation had been handled so well.

I have not yet done another trade, deposit, or withdrawal on hitBtc so I cannot comment on whether everything is back to normal, but I would assume knowing the nature of the bug that it is.

I made a suggestion via email (specifically for your suggestion contest) that you include transaction information in the history.  So far there is only an "operation ID" which is internal to your service.  Had there been a transaction ID in the record available to me, I could have gone to Poloniex with this information as proof of my deposit and resolved this problem more quickly, and without opening a support ticket on your end.

But overall I think you have one of the best trading platforms on the market.

Thank you for the good service.
5413  Economy / Exchanges / Re: hitBTC.com - super fast and stable BTC/LTC/USD/EUR exchange on: July 23, 2014, 09:47:10 PM

Dear cAPSLOCK,

Sorry for the delay with answering you. We have successfully identified the cause as you have mentioned a support ticket ID in your previous message.
At the moment the issue is already resolved and our Support manager will additionally inform you on it by email.

Thank you for choosing our service,
The "hitbtc" team

Going on 16 hours withdrawal from Poloniex to BTER...anyone else having similar issues?

I have now sent support tickets to both exchanges   Huh

Yes.  There was  bug with payment IDs for a while.  See this post from hitBTC for some info.

Did you get my 50? None said anything just wondering. I sent 50 but it shows all these for whatever reason.

It had world's slowest AES implementation in git for a month, before someone bothered to add AES-NI support.
Why did you not have AES-NI from day one?

None of the current members of the core team had anything to do with the initial reference code or the cryptocurrency's inception.

So what he meant was: "Congrats for the AES-NI support!"
5418  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: July 22, 2014, 04:26:11 PM
After testing the "--restore-deterministic-wallet" on windows, i lost some transactions.
I re-download the blockchain but only the last transactions appear.

What is the problem?


Your transactions are still there.  This bug has been fixed in a subsequent version of the wallet on github, and I assume it will be rolled into the main distribution eventually.
5419  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: -> Monero Community Hall of Fame <- on: July 21, 2014, 08:37:50 PM
Just out of curiosity, why am I the only lucky person with an asterisk by their name?

I do not know.  If risto checks in we can find out, otherwise ill ask him later.

I used asterisk to denote who is the last one added, otherwise I would have forgotten it. It serves no other purpose Smiley

Cool.  I will remove it for now.
5420  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: rpietila Altcoin Observer on: July 21, 2014, 08:28:19 PM
How many moneros is mined so far? How many will it be in the end? Can someone please show me a graph of this?
