Has this been posted already? If so, I apologize. You can now donate Monero to the I2P. I'll send a humble sum to support their decision. I wasn't aware of it, so thanks for the heads up. I'll send a few XMR their way. i2p ftw! |

TanteStefana2 Necro'd this Bytecoin fantasy thread at the end of October, apparently in revenge for Monero folk (real and fake imho) spamming and trolling the DRK main thread. It's a rather depressing cycle. I honestly wish everyone would just drop it. |

Zerocoin's likely gonna be more bloated than XMR is. You hope! LOL, you better fucking hope as well  And what do you base your idea on? Hopes and dreams because you hate XMR? Get your head out of your ass - just because a few supporters hate DASH doesn't mean the coin is bad. Hey...you are that guy who had that super-optimised Vertminer, and refused to share it with the community, aren't you? I don't like you at all. I don't hate XMR. But what I dfo hate is when malicious trolls infect the threads of what they see a their competitor coins. Everybody who is into crypto should be working together for the ultimate success of crypto itself, not stabbing each other in the back, which is what you guys seems to think is necessary. I still have one for v2, what's it to you? Besides, I hate it when they do so, as well - you say "you guys" like XMR is full of these people. It's not. It's the assholes that are the loudest, is all. no one in the 'core' leadership has come out and distanced themselves from the trolling, they have taken part in it..... I haven't seen smooth or fluffypony or the others constantly coming here and saying the same shit. iCEBREAKER and dnalor, yeah, maybe. According to the Dash anti-criticism brigade, anyone who is critical about anything related to Dash is a troll who is trolling. Especially core team members who are secretly from Finland and living in a castle. I've been critical of it, but at least some of my concerns were answered quickly by Evan, who had pretty reasonable answers. Unfortunately, he seems to be the only one with any idea how it works. I heard that you are really young. Maybe you should stop posting in forums until you've grown up a bit? Not that young. Besides, you haven't even presented any argument - unless you consider a vague assertion of immaturity an argument. I'd rather not argue (with a child), if you don't mind. I believe I've stated my position clearly enough. Goodbye. It takes a truly weak mind to base their arguments purely on someone's age. Congratulations volvoya, you will fit right in with the rest of these Darktards! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1384298/Student-15-way-Harvard-accepted-13-universities.htmlYoung people may be good at some things, it's true. But because they don't have much life-experience, they always lack wisdom (and not only young people). Ahem: @ altCoin UK. Take a Xanax, dude.
Is anyone over 18 here? Stop being so ageist. Why can't young people create something of value? Answer...they CAN. now pls...STFU |

Maybe some Swiss banks will start offering XMR services. They have a track record on privacy. |

MasterMined710. Please explain exactly why you think a smooth, published and unchanged, emission curve is unfair. It certainly hasn't enriched a few early adopters markedly.

Crazy conspriracy stuff aside, biometrics spings to mind - voice print, retinal scan, fingerprint, and handwriting analysis as you enter the characters using a stylus.
Of course it's tough to beat torture if TPTB really want the info.

Clinging to the idea that a year and a half is instant, or in any way comparable to a day and half, is just crazy. Seek help.

Why you people even argue anymore. Monero was a scam. Period.
Both your English language skills and logic are laughable. Keep smoking your LTC drugs. |

Why you all compare monero to dash? This tread is about monero scam.
A lot of the anti-Monero FUD comes from DRK/DASH supporters. Also, jwinterm's post eloquently puts to the sword the idea that Monero's launch period amounted to a significant instamine. There is no monero scam. |

...
lastly, monero was launched about 3 months after DASH yet it already has almost twice the amount of coins mined. seems like a highly inflationary ongoing instamine that gives an unfair advantage to those early miners.
my conclusion, there has never been a coin with a perfect launch including bitcoin.
There's perfect, there's scam, and everything in between. Monero is a helluva lot closer to perfect than DASH/Darkcoin/Xcoin could every hope to be. You can look on the block explorer and see the amount of coins emitted at any block. For instance, by block 20000 ( http://moneroblocks.eu/search/20000 ), mined on May 1st, the total number of emitted coins was about 350k or about 3.5% of the total coins that exist today. So, 3.5% of the coins that exist were mined during the period of the crippled miner when a few folks (such as DGA, who is not a member of the development team) were mining with optimized miners. Around May 1st the optimized miner was made public by NoodleDoodle and other members of the actual dev-team that took over the coin from TFT. Compare that with DASH, where around 1/3 of the coins that exist today were mined in the first 48 hours or so, and I think it's pretty plain to see which coin had the more fair launch. (This is not to mention the fact that there was zero windows clients and a promise to relaunch made by the Xcoin developer, while hundreds of AWS and DO nodes mined away). 33% of available coins mined in 2 days, or 3% of available coins mined in a few weeks - I don't think it's much of a comparison. (This is also not to mention the fact that DASH/Darkcoin/Xcoin switched to a quasi-PoS system after their botched launch, allowing large holders to just sit on their coins and grow them, which is obviously not the case for Monero, which is pure PoW, where owning a chunk of coin doesn't allow one to do anything but dump it on an exchange.) Top post jwinterm. Facts, not FUD. |

It's fair to say that a major source of the power of fiat, is that governments only accept their own fiat currency for the payment of taxes. In the short/medium term I see XMR as like a digital version of physical gold. Long term, who knows. On another note, it's 10 million day today folks.  |

You can hold down shift + right click folder. You get "open command prompt here."
Good tip. The other important variable is the path, which (in Win 7) you'll find in Advanced system settings>Environment Variables, under Control Panel\System and Security\System (Right click 'Computer' and select property gets you there). The path is just a semicolon-separated list of folder locations the system will search for command line programs like simplewallet (so you don't have to change folder to run it). Q |

Good luck to Gridcoin. I work in science and value privacy, so I see plenty of room in the world for Gridcoin and Monero to prosper.
Cheers, Q

Sometimes I get the feeling that the development of Monero should be limited to GNU/Linux (or at least to Unix like OS) until most the development goals are reached. Those wishing to run Monero on Windows can be provided with a pre-configured Virtual Box GNU/Linux VM and instructions on installing Virtualbox.
Does anyone seriously believe that one can have financial privacy running Monero on Windows 10?
Major corporations use Windows for billions/trillions of dollars worth of financial transactions all the time, and they care about privacy. Apart from all the innovative accounting/tax dodging, they don't want their rivals knowing their dealings. Just my .02 XMR. Q |

The problem is that regular people don't even know what Fungiblilty means. And most not even care, unless the effects of its lack in bitcoin will start causing problems.
It's worth remembering that the euro has questionable fungibility: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1097116.0The world will wake up to fungibility if Greece is ever allowed to actually default. Q |

TMA Master Quentin Moon has returned from time travelling to lands far and wide. Greetings all!
I see in the Google DB new columns of mystery.
Account claimed 'wake up': 0
Sent to owner: blank
Activated: blank
hit (plague): brutal;weak
My character did have a lot of stone, but that has gone from the table. I owed the Bishop some stone (kindly loaned many years ago), and do not know how to pay if the resource has been removed.
I have also heard whispers of a new Ultima version of the game, but I am unsure how to login as my character.
Any advice from the learned much appreciated,
Q

I wish the Greeks were more aware of Monero. Huge potential market of people looking to get out of the Greek banking system currently.
On the subject of LTC, does it offer anything BTC does not? Scrypt is ASIC-dominated now AFAIK. Are 2.5 minute blocks really considered a significant difference?

Why are permabulls (like me) silent when the price is on the floor?  I can't speak for others, but there isn't much to say at the moment. I agree with ArticMine's sentiment above: I consider myself a bull in the medium to long term (1-2 years). In the short term: Who knows? I see the DB release, official core GUI and 50% emission (barring tail) as the main upcoming events for Monero. It will be great if the first two arrive before the last. Then, things will get interesting.  Q |
