Thank you, done. Would you guys do us a favor. Everytime i update my server, i have to follow the link https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linux64 and then rename the file through wget -cO. Would you be so kind to save the file or the symlink with the actual name/version of the file, that would be great, thanks  Grin

Have you tried using the direct download link (see linked thread)?

The FATF guidance does not even prevent privacy coins from being listed on an exchange, as long as the exchange enforces KYC/AML for the users. I ascribe the recent events to an overzealous and erroneous interpretation of the guidance by the compliance department of the exchange in question. It further should be noted that, for instance, Binance and Kraken still cater to Korean users. Additionally, see a relevant comment of mine below:

Thank you for pointing me to this informations.

If we sum all of these above in one sentence it would be this one quoted by me above and to make it even more simple it is enough that exchange has KYC/ALM requirement and that should be enough for Monero to be not delisted if this exchange is licensed or try to comply with FATF rules.

As for now, Monero was not delisted from any exchange if I understand correctly?

You're welcome.

Correct, see also:

An article worth reading reading Coinbase's view of Proof of Work:
https://blog.coinbase.com/how-coinbase-views-proof-of-work-security-f4ba1a139da0

"Claim one: It is a security feature for a particular coin’s mining operations to be the dominant application of the hardware used to mine that coin."

If this statement is correct, and I think it is, then the whole XMR's strategy of forking the hashing algorithm to foster CPU mining is unintelligent.

You can read my response to the article here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/du2m7i/coinbase_blog_criticizes_monero_pow_philosophy/f71lt09/


Let's stop forking the hashing algorithm after RandomX (which will fail to achieve the stated goal, like every other attempt) and embrace specialized mining. Enough time has been lost.

That's the intent, i.e., the current 'contingency' plan is to switch to an ASIC friendly algorithm (such as SHA3) in case of a RandomX failure.

What about all these rumors that privacy coins will be delisted from big exchanges? Was Monero or another known privacy coin affected, delisted?

Because of these rumors, Litecoin team started to rethink their strategy to implement a privacy solution to LTC.

Is this true or just FUD? If this is nothing more as a FUD, then whois behind it? Why only privacy coins are targeted?

I haven't heard anything about delistings of privacy coins from exchanges or even of plans to do so and that is why I ask you for a second opinion.

See my comment below.



There is no Korea ban, see my comment below (especially bolded part). Additionally, Bithumb (a Korean exchange) as well as Huobi Korea still have Monero listed.

as these ‘violate’ FATF’s 'travel rule'

I don't think this is the case actually. As long as they enforce KYC/AML for each account, they should be able to tie deposits and withdrawals to a certain person. In addition, they can send this information to another service (which is essentially what the travel rule is about) in case a direct withdrawal (i.e. a withdrawal to another service) is made.

People should also bear in mind that FATF merely makes recommendations:

Importantly, FATF doesn't have *any* regulatory authority of its own. FATF makes recommendations, not laws.

Member countries can adopt all, some, or none of FATF's recommendations. There are basically no repercussions for not adopting (or for violating) FATF recommendations.

The U.S. based exchanges will most likely follow FinCEN's guidance

As you might expect, the United States doesn't really like having its regulatory policy dictated to it by other countries.

FinCEN (the US regulator in charge of AML/CFT regulation) certainly does consider FATF's recommendations, but rarely adopts them wholesale.

Which was positive for privacy coins:

People often like to purport that Monero will inevitably get banned. However, the new FinCEN guidance is basically inconsistent with that notion. From the CoinCenter article:

Section 4.5.3 states that exchanges are not per se banned from using privacy-preserving cryptocurrencies but will need to comply with the same BSA regulations they comply with for typical cryptocurrencies. We believe that this is possible. Exchanges need to know their customers but they do not have a black letter law requirement to know the customers of their customers. In other words, a bank needs to know who you are but they are not obligated to know the name and address of people that you pay using cash you withdraw from your account.

EDIT: To add a few more things:

[1] Monero is private by default and optionally transparent. There are plenty of tools available in Monero that allow one to be compliant with an auditor.

https://twitter.com/fluffypony/status/1172832896727638017

[3] CoinCenter confirmed in the MoneroKon regulatory panel that almost all exchanges are already mostly compliant with the FATF guidance (because they enforce KYC/AML for each user).

[4] Monero is listed on a lot of U.S. based regulated exchages, services, and OTC desks. I made an overview here:

What are the block number and the expected date for the randomx fork? Is there a site where I could follow a countdown?

Mining with Xeon cpu, could I expect a decrease in mining hashrate after the randomx fork or an increase?

Actual network hashrate is about 300-330 mh/s... I remember that before last algorithm change it was more than 600 mh/s.. looking at those numbers I don't think there are asics already back on the network.... Are there?

Thank you.

The protocol upgrade is scheduled for November 30. You can find an informational thread here:

Something seems off with the 0.14.1.2 linux cli-only release...

bunzip2: monero-linux-x64-v0.14.1.2.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file.

AND

tar -xjf monero-linux-x64-v0.14.1.2.tar.bz2
bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file.
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

Same with a fresh download.  And sha256sum comes back correctly too.

This is a known issue, it will be fixed in the upcoming v0.15 release. See:

Talking about "Korea banning anon crypto". I won't name exchange, so it won't look like adv, but there is s. Korea exchange (with coingecko reported 24 h volume of more than $10 M, and that after taking possible fake volume into account, and more $100 M 24 h raw volume) that list anon (cryptonote) coins like crazy in last weeks. Sometimes it is literally one new anon coin a day.

So news about Korea banning anon coins might be a little exaggerated.

There is no Korea ban, see my comment below (especially bolded part). Additionally, Bithumb (a Korean exchange) as well as Huobi Korea still have Monero listed.

Hi, why into monero wallet there's not the functionality for copy with right click of the mouse or drags the password for open the wallet???

The password must be strong and every time i need write with the keyboard........ it's not good.... it's complicated.... or much people use simple password not secure.....

Or there's another solution for insert the password when open the wallet ?



Have you tried using CTRL + C (copy) and CTRL + V (paste)?

I used to think that Monero is a unique cryptocurrency that has great potential and after a stunning pump in 2017, it will always remain popular, but now I began to doubt because the price of this coin has fallen very much along with the market.

From the top 20, Monero is one of the best performers year to date. That being said, it obviously got affected by the significant decline in the altcoin market.
But still, there are no interesting partnerships or updates, no new wallets, it’s still the same Monero as two years ago.

This is nonsense, see:

Quote
In the last two years we have seen the following fundamental developments:

- An official GUI that is significantly improved and now properly curtailed to a vastly heterogeneous userbase.
- Multiple user friendly mobile wallets for Android and iOS.
- Multiple user friendly desktop wallets.
- Hardware wallet support (both Trezor and Ledger).
- Significant reduction of transaction size and improvement of verification performance via Bulletproofs. Bulletproofs furthermore ensured the fees can remain reasonably.
- Further reduction planned via CLSAG (approximately 20% reduction in transaction size and 20% improvement in verification performance).
- A long-term ASIC resistant (at least envisioned) proof-of-work algorithm RandomX, which was successfully audited by four different professional audit teams. Whether you are supportive of ASIC resistance or not, one cannot deny that this is a vast improvement over the status quo (which was essentially tweaking the PoW every six months).
- Multiple further privacy improvements.
- I2P/Tor integration for the CLI and GUI (soon, i.e., planned for v0.15).
- Blockchain pruning.

I am probably forgetting some stuff and haven't even included ecosystem related developments. Regardless, we can conclude that the difference between Monero in 2017 and Monero currently is essentially night and day.

A full list of available wallets can be found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/d78ny7/rmonero_weekly_discussion_september_21_2019_use/

If you make a comparison to 2017, you will see that there is a significant difference.

Thank you dEBRUYNE. I like RandomX and hope Monero will stay ASIC resistant even if it pisses of all GPU miners. I'm one of them and will have to point the cards elsewhere but still happy if it keeps the network healthy.

To be fair, the switch to RandomX has essentially been known since February / March. As such, GPU miners have had plenty of time to make plans on how to deal with the change. Furthermore, GPU mining will still be viable (though CPUs will definitely have an advantage).

Is this coin still alive and well or does it have some terminal problem?


Alive and well I would say. Development of both the code and the ecosystem is progressing strongly. A nice overview can be found here:
