Just saying. No disrespect to you othe. I'm just not as sure as you that BCX isn't capable of doing the things they say. I'd rather err on the side of caution than get caught naked in the rain.
You missed the point even if some other idiot sells you one it can be fixed anyway Every successful piece of software out there has and has had bugs. It happens, and it makes the system stronger ultimately. Othe is right that BCX deserves no attention or respect, and certainly not payments or deals. He is a trolling FUDster who made threats against Monero and demonstrated no ability to carry them out. BTW, I also not aware of any "deal" that has been made with BCX by anyone. |

The University needs your help!
The construction of the Military Sciences Department has left our esteemed University in debt over 200m!
With the greatest recognition of all of the donations to date, we further request that all who are able offer their assistance at this time.
Donations will be recognized in a permanent plaque on the building, and major donations will receive further recognition such as naming of specific facilities.
I'll give 10m. Thank you sir! 98m still needed. |

I think think knowing something about monero adoption metrics can help us speculate better.
Some examples are:
1. How many transactions per day are there? I'm not sure if this is possible to know.
2. How many times has the client been downloaded? rpietila seemed to have this information in the monero economics thread.
3. How many full nodes, listening clients, and miners are there? I can see there are 338 people connected to moneropool.com
Is anyone charting this stuff over time? I can do some investigation myself, but if someone else has already done it, I'd like to see what they've come up with.
1. I don't know of an easy source for this. Monerochain.info used to have a convenient chart but has been down for some time now. You would have to write code the analyze the blockchain itself. My guess is under 2000 but I think the number will increase now that per-kb fees are being rolled out. 2 Some stats on this were given some time back. We haven't released this recently but I'll see if we can release some updated numbers. 3. I'm not sure it is possible to know this. Someone would have to write a program to try to find as many nodes as it could and connect to them, but even that would only tell you about listening nodes. There are no lightweight clients, so all p2p clients are full nodes. |

I'd say speculation from China (and its end, as China largely moved on to whatever fad it is they are speculating on now) was also a huge factor.
Trade on BTER last day mostly consists out of NuBits, Bitcoin and Dogecoin. My daily read http://coinmarketcap.com/exchanges/volume/24-hour/ shows some surprising movements away from Altcoins back into ...errr... let us call them "classical cryptos". Maybe it is time for Monero to get listed on more exchangers. I am NOT making a suggestion which one that could be. You decide. My thought was non-crypto speculation, especially with the obstacles thrown up by PBOC. Yes they can be gotten around but many people won't bother and just move on to something else. I have no idea what is hot these days in China but I doubt it is any ____coin/___ero XMR is on bter, BTW. |

Why are you all so fascinated by the black markets history, if that had clearly no impact on Bitcoin's trade value?
Admittingly it had a short rebound lasting almost 48 hours back then. Take special interest on the closing price of 122 $
I don't understand the point you are making here And you know that during whole of Road 2.0 existance the development wasn't exactly upturning. If you place a ruler on that curve, was a steady decline (still ongoing).
It is impossible to know if the decline would have been even larger without SR2. There are clearly other significant factors at play. My observation is that MtGox trade bots had a far bigger impact. I'd say speculation from China (and its end, as China largely moved on to whatever fad it is they are speculating on now) was also a huge factor. |

Please let me know if you think there are any factual errors in the gif.
Not errors exactly, but the relationship between stealth and ring sigs is a bit tighter than suggested. They work synergistically. For example, ring sigs also help protect the privacy of balances because it can't be determined if an output has been spent, only possibly-spent. Nice work! |

Is there a place where anon debates take over? I would like to see the differences between monero, drk, sdc, etc.
rpietila Altcoin Observer has had a lot of these discussions, some though not all at a pretty high level of technical detail. I would start there but be sure to read the archive before bringing things up in a repetitious way. |

Fantastic! That is really beautiful work! Now is the time to help University to pay the remaining bills!
Thanks already to Lord Karl for his generous donation! Approximately 108m more needs to be raised. |

But there is no user with name ric_000, what's going on?..
Well, I deleted p2pstate.bin and poolstate.bin (again...) - and here is the miracle: everything looks fine... Strange coin...
ric_000 is a user who compiled daemon binaries. Path stored in binaries. Nothing strange. I am sure ric is fluffypony. Exactly right |

Is there a way to make Monero botnet proof?
Yes, by making computers botnet proof |
|
|
|
The GUI wallet I made is completely virus/botnet/malware free. Just a simple AutoIT script to parse log files and fill in variables located in the GUI.
If you're unsure about the bitmonerod, simplewallet and minerd binaries you can download just the monerowallet.exe from here
Why post from a new account? This is my first and only account, been following for a while but only registered now. Welcome then, and please don't be put off by the caution. Even if your stuff is 100% okay, people have been burned before. It's not personal at all. |
|
|

dewdeded, that doesn't look good, but don't legitimate miner programs like minerd.exe routinely get flagged as malware because of botnets?
Yes they do and from the screen shots it looks like this wallet does indeed have a mining function. So the possibility of the virus scan being a false positive is there. Still, either way it is not smart to use binaries from unknown sources. |
|
|
|
This should be checked for malware/misbehaviour first by some people (minimal) familar with malware analysis. Could contain an malware droper or wallet stealer. Best is to examine the source (especially if it is fairly small, which it likely is) and recompile it yourself or have a trusted person compile it. I suggested to the developer of that wallet that he upload the sources to github. With that caution, it is great to see independent work being done for Monero! |

CautionBinaries from unknown sources are extremely dangerous and can contain wallet-stealing malware or other forms of harmful code.Malicious binaries related to Monero have already been seen in the wild, so be careful. None of this is meant to suggest that this particular program is definitely malicious but the possibility exists. Examining the sources and rebuilding independently would be much better. I suggest that the OP upload the sources to github and post a link. EDIT: Suspicious virus scan results have been reported, but it could be the typical false positives that often happen with miners EDIT 2: Safer instructions: Right, so anyone that want to use this, just download AutoIT and use the script in the pastebin. The monero binaries must be downloaded separately.

Prediction: there is a big chance, that the first privacy-based coin that is widly accepted at the (3-5) then leading (major) Dark Markets will dominate.
Fixed your post. I think there is a good chance it will be a while before we see robust dark markets, so there will be a lot of churn and this won't necessarily have a large influence. Of course this is speculative, but the history is of dark markets (especially leading ones) getting shut down and there is no reason to expect the near future to differ from the recent past. |

Yes. It can be summarized in one word: Derivatives. Yes, as the arguments against POS are accepted as defeated, we must invent newer and even less relevant but more convoluted arguments to protect proof of waste. There is nothing new about this argument. If it seems so to you, then you haven't done your homework at all. |

Can someone help me with the wallet I am stuck on 208393...just tried downloading newest version still stuck on it
As far as I know they might be loading the same block chain from my roaming folder...
I think maybe you got on the wrong fork with an old version, and then updated. Not 100% sure, but I think you might want to just wipe everything in your data directory, and then download the latest bootstrap blockchain and put it in there. If you are using the current code for the daemon it won't let you load a blockchain from the wrong fork. |
