We just need a simple and elegant looking wrapper. That will do the job for now, the account manager can come as a huge update. We can start contacting services for using monero when we have the install and run solution.
Lets get that DB out now, make an official wrapper. Thats all
I've mentioned this before, but a GUI will make diddly-squat difference to merchant adoption, it'll only make a difference to ease of user adoption, and even then 90% of the users will complain about the size of the blockchain or the speed of the sync or the amount of bandwidth it uses. Merchants, exchanges, and automated systems need several things, and the database is just the first step. Without walletnotify / blocknotify functionality, and without an RPC layer that supports HTTPS and Simple Auth it is immensely painful for merchants to build systems, the paradigm shift is too large. Further to that, only recently (like in the last week) has anyone actually started building out libraries for Monero integration (even though this could have been done by anyone willing months ago) - https://github.com/tippero/python-monerohttps://github.com/MalMen/PHP-MoneroThe enthusiasm is great, but pragmatically speaking I fear we will lose merchants if the onboarding process is as painful as it is right now. |

My smartphone has 128 GB. I guess cheaper ones have less, but in a year or two it seems this might be fairly common. The current blockchain is 5 GB stored inefficiently (pretty much everything is duplicated; over time we can improve that, although I'm not sure how how high it ranks as a priority).
I've seen smartphone games that are similar in size to the Monero blockchain, and people install those.
I'm not sure that running full node on a smartphone is what people will necessarily want to do, as other options exist with some partial privacy compromises, but if you really want to do it, the size of the blockchain doesn't get in the way really.
 Case in point:) The problem with deduplication is we sacrifice performance, which is critical on a smartphone...so the compromise will probably always tend towards less storage efficiency for the sake of performance. I'd be VERY interested to see how the lmdb-vl32 version performs on an ARM phone. |

Both monero and darkcoin are shitty scammy overrated shitcoins the wider public wouldn't give a shit about.
Monero gave the cryptocurrency world OpenAlias, so next time you open Electrum and send a payment to donate@getmonero.org just remember that Bitcoin would still require you use an address to make a payment were it not for Monero. |

Hi Stealthcoin. As one of the Monero Core Team members I feel I'm in a unique position to answer some of these claims. To preface this: Monero is a cryptocurrency that is slightly inflationary (to ensure there is always a reason to mine instead of relying on a perfect fee market in future) instead of deflationary. In other words, the amount of Monero that will be created is infinity. Logically, then, Monero's value will NEVER increase based on restricted supply / rarity alone. Thus, on the face of it, it's a terrible investment. In line with that, I have often told people NOT to buy Monero, the best example of that is this conversation: http://log.bitcoin-assets.com/?date=11-12-2014#951020. Similarly, David Latapie and myself did a 3 hour, 45 minute, interview with Doged Radio, and even the host noticed that we didn't launch into a recommendation that anyone buy Monero. If you have some time it's worth a listen, even though it takes a little while to get going: https://www.mixcloud.com/dogedradio/monero-coin-interview/Any significant growth in Monero's price will come demand as a direct result of an increase in usefulness and usability, not from "pump groups" or anything else. As a core team we have spent way more money than we've received in donations (see our financial report in our 2014 Year in Review for details). We are not particularly wealthy people, and every cost we incur beyond donations is a punch to our gut, but we do it because we are building Monero into something more than just a private cryptocurrency. Our Design and Development Goals is a good indication of that: https://getmonero.org/design-goals/I appreciate that you're annoyed, and tempers run high in this section of the forum, but I trust you will find it within yourself to step away from your screen, have a beer or a whisky or a glass of wine, and come back refreshed and with a fresh view on the matter. |

I see that timecoin is missing Timekoin plx, there's no c, so it can't exist on that website unless it becomes mapofkoins:-P |

May you elaborate on how exactly is possible to import an existing wallet from the official command line client, to the mymonero.com platform?
Just login with your 25 word seed, and you'll be prompted to go through the import process:) |

love the idea can we get a conformation from the escrow. i want to see this happen. a nice big juicy eel would also be acceptable  So far we've received - BTC: 0.0009 BTC XMR: nothing |
|
|

I was wondering, is there a payment processor for monero out? Like code that you can add to your website if youre a merchant to accept moneroj.
xmr.tois the closest we have. There's also this: https://getmonero.org/getting-started/accepting |

Thank you fluffypony!
Please post your preferred addresses and I will edit the OP to reflect your escrow service of the collected funds.

I have met 5w00p in real life in November last year, and I trust he will honour this debt.
In line with that, I am happy to escrow the BTC and/or XMR for this.

With cryptokingdom online version, cryptogold on poloniex, and the database all coming within the next week or so, there should be some fireworks.
CKG on Poloniex and the online CK won't be in the next week, though. Especially on the Poloniex integration side there is much to be done from our side and from theirs; this is unchartered territory for them in many ways, and the channel needs to be VERY tightly locked down to make sure everyone's CKG is safe. As we go through this process there's also a lot of interdependencies on both sides, and they have other development priorities and can't free up dev resources that easily, so without putting a damper on it I don't think it's something that's going to happen within the next couple of weeks. |

Its so cool. You can enter your mymonero account using only the first 3 words of your 13 words list. For instance :
nanny inquest nimbly amused because inwardly ambush lipstick rage bailed umbrella howls ambush
Type :
nan inq nim amu bec inw amb lip rag bal umb how amb
And it will work ! You can even use this trick to make up your own story so you remember the words more easily.
Not all languages have a unique prefix of 3, though:) |

3. Not everything needs to be in a blockchain, and not everything can be decentralised with our current level of technological advancement. The Monero core team won't crowbar decentralisation into everything unecessarily, especially when it has potentially disastrous results.
I herd monero is centralized, is it true?  Centralised like a reindeer, yo! |

Hi guys - I'm encountering some nigglies with my computer and my wonderfully fast Internet - the Missive is ready, but it's 1am and it's not going up, so I'll have to try again tomorrow morning.

Monero is multinational crypto currency it's awesome secure so not have any doubts about loss...can use fearless. |
|
|

The main thing I would worry about in terms of that would be scam accusations, sort of turning the coin into a bonnet.
 THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MONERO SCAM |

Adding this post from smooth to your comment: Those cryptonote guys seem pretty smart. They've probably thought this through better than any of us have.

Extra information. OVH.net states the owner is Klaba Octave, but really the real Klaba Octave owns OVH.com. Thus the creator of cryptocoins-dice.com likely also owns OVH.net and is impersonating it to be a apart of OVH.com. If we could find out who allowed ovh.net to be a registrar we might be able to get his true identity.
Just to correct this - ovh.net and ovh.com are both owned by ovh. The nameservers for ovh.com are: Name Server: DNS.OVH.NET Name Server: DNS10.OVH.NET Name Server: DNS200.ANYCAST.ME Name Server: NS.OVH.NET Name Server: NS10.OVH.NET Name Server: NS200.ANYCAST.ME I don't think ovh.com would use nameservers hosted by a scammer that wasn't them;) The "o-w-o.info" email addresses are part of a registration privacy offer, so not a throwaway, same goes for phone number and address on the whois. The videos train-of-investigation is good, and seems promising. |

How come this coin doesnt have a win32bit wallet? i wanted to buy some but without a wallet idk and no i dont trust online wallets.
32-bit systems can't address enough RAM to hold the full in-memory blockchain, hence us implementing an embedded database variant. |
