Pool mining would really be a nice and convenient feature in GUI. However, I do agree with xmr-eric's comment on there: Personally, I don't like this feature, and feel we shouldn't include it. Pool mining is the one page in the wallet where we're suddenly relying on a third party. What qualifies a pool to be added to this list? Certainly cryptmonero.com isn't included since this pool is tied to Reddit-reported malware mining. So there is already a distinction between good and bad pools, and suddenly our devs are tasked with making that distinction. Suddenly our work begins to grow exponentially, especially if XMR really takes off and a hundred new pools appear and have to be evaluated. Who does the evaluating and what is the criteria?
Suddenly pool operators have an incentive to get in good graces with XMR devs? Already we can see MoneroWorld (where I personally mine, so I love it there) is at the top of the list?
What if one of the listed pools gets hacked, malware, or leaks private data? Are we partly responsible / could be sued? We have to wait for a whole release before we can change the code away from an adversarial pool?
This is not decentralized, and thus sort of goes against the spirit of The Monero Project.
I'm a big fan of adding a solo smart miner to the wallet. Not a fan of this. Indeed, The Monero Project should not get itself mired in pool or market politics. Besides, there are already a multitude of pool mining guides out there. A solo mining feature in GUI is totally fine as it is at the core of the decentralized nature of Monero and most if not all of the other cryptocurrencies. Besides, who doesn't want to participate in a lottery anyway and made easy at that? That's a good discussion on git, here was my recommendation. What about separate releases? The one with the integrated pool release add the stratum and have the default local, therefore to change from mining on a local pool the user would have to enter one them self or just as easily add their pool to the list (maybe setup and auto msg to irc for the new pool to announce and scrape it?). |

@Shiroslullaby. You talk like it is very easy to determine where the market will move. It is that attitude that make people lose their bitcoins in the altcoin exchanges. After earning some bitcoins in tradng will make them think that they are good at it but all that happened was the were only lucky.
QFT, It was nice to see the bump I like ETC over ETH by a huge margin but just don't see a real future for either but in the mean time P&D away boys.  |

I took the liberty of compiling an up2date list of monero pools. If I forgot any pool or information is wrong, please feel free to contact me moneropools.com Very nice, I would put a "*" by Dwarfpool and note the owner has scammed the community in the past. |

...So, can these be 'directly RUN' from there in order to use the wallet the old-fashion way too, i.e. more control over typing commands (for "save" etc) in addition to using the GUI in a newbie-friendly way i.e. just double-click the icon?
Are there any warnings or danger to be aware of in this case, if so? Or would it still be better to pre-load the daemon etc from another normal copy of the downloaded command line set of Monero files?
(P.S. Sorry if it's a dumb question BUT this is the kind of thing that needs to be made simple, clear, and easy for NOOBS if HoneyPony is really ever going to gain mainstream use and acceptance!)
As I understand it, the GUI is a wrapper that passes calls to the daemon ergo if you use the cli to make those calls then you should not hurt anything. I am guessing as I did none of the programming. The only pitfall I can forsee is that the gui would not refresh from those cli calls and display previous data but that is a rookie move and I can't imagine this team putting out something that lame. As usual feel free to correct me guys, I'm just making educated guesses from experience on other projects. I have had the GUI crash a few times. I have found the best way to use it on my system is to start monerod from within the GUI folder and monitor progress in cmd window. Once synced start the GUI. When finished exit monerod in cmd then close GUI. YMMV.
Doesn't the GUI display synched when caught up? sorry when I compiled and tested I didn't wait for the entire blockchain. I remember a display of the progress. Monero made a lot of new bagholders yesterday...  Yup, and one Big one! Wish it had made me one before the last blastoff but I was on a cooler At the time. BTW, that is the best head and shoulders I've ever seen! Who's the artist? Can you do a few boobies for me on the next one? |

Call me crazy but I believe this is an optimal time to go short on XMR... fall back to roughly $4-$5 USD. I don't think it will fall as much this time but it will consolidate.
I think you have a good point. What bothers me is the speculation and the whales. If you look you will see that most of Monero's trade is from on particular exchange. One good leg to stand on. Maybe another half-leg. Then some toes. Whereas Bitcoin has many legs, besides the many exchanges. And I realize that Bitcoin is not private. If Monero is adopted by more exchanges then I think we could see a serious and stable upswing. Certainly this exposure is getting Monero noticed, however. As for Zcash (mentioned as a competitor to Monero) I don't think, based upon it's premine and even if all of the gurus of cryptocurrency pay homage, that it will take off. It can be traced if certain parties allow it during transactions, as I understand it. If that is so, it's a half-measure, attempting to play the middle. Between allowing regulation and providing privatization. There is no such place. It's a simple Bitcoin knock-off with a few new bells and whistles, not to mention the premine -- again. What is the problem with the premine? You are simply misinformed. XMR represents real tech. Go short, best you get is $10. Keep holding though. Please let us know when you take a short position, and at what price. Otherwise, you are simply a troll. XMR has NO pre-mine. Making this clear for anyone that didn't understand your post. And there are many threads on what wrong with ZEC. |

Dwarfpool on the mission to destroy Monero?
I have no reason to believe this is the goal. However, I see this the same way as you don't stand in the middle of traffic even if no car wants to hit you. Don't tempt fate. And Monero is 51% attackable similarly to Bitcoin, yes. The damage you can do is a bit different (you can't censor old transactions as easily, since private (yay!)), but you can double spend, for example. I'm adding a pool mining screen to the GUI right now, it'll be in the next release, and should make it easy for people to mine the right way. Go go go! Maybe we should add a rating system in the op for pools? And remove those that get to big until their percentage lowers? |

Can anybody explain why me why Monero is so high market cap compared to other anon coins. Is it more centralized then others or ? Im looking more into anon coins now but i so many pages to read  iT'S THE OPPOSITE, iT'S completely DECENTRALIZED! WOOPS SORRY BOUT THE CAPS LOCK. No need to apologize. I absolve you. Be careful in the future, OK? I shall heed thy warnings sire. Call me crazy but I believe this is an optimal time to go short on XMR. Showing some resistance upward, and major buy walls at around .0071 and .005 mean that price will fall to match the highest liquidity. As BTC surpasses $1k that hype will drown out XMR. Remember, buy the hype, sell the news. GUI is out, hype will die soon. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's a risk to go short, but far less of a risk than going long. What goes up must come down. Dark market transaction is overly exaggerated, XMR has nowhere near the adoption of a fraction of BTC, not even close.
Who cares?! Fuck your stupid trading talk and greed. It may or may not be a good time to sell now, but only if you are mainly involved in this project for speculative investments and your personal gains. Which surprise, surprise many people are not. I think what he means is that you posted this in the wrong thread.  And I agree. Unfortunately, Monero is now facing a new imminent danger...trivially attackable by a single pool (and one whose admin has scammed the Monero community before, so don't think this would "never happen")...
Is Monero able to be attacked in the same manner as Bitcoin if one pool garners 51% of the mining power? Or are you talking about another type of attack? I don't know any that aren't. Tell me please, My Monero wallet ( https://mymonero.com) safe, stable? Normal use it to store XMR coins? Thank you for answer. NO web wallets are safe PERIOD. Only put what you can afford to lose in them, E.I. pocket change. Unfortunately, Monero is now facing a new imminent danger. The strength of its network is now much less than it was just a few months ago. As shown by https://monerohash.com/#network, the network is on the verge of being trivially attackable by a single pool (and one whose admin has scammed the Monero community before, so don't think this would "never happen"). This shows that the glut of new miners is only good if decentralization isn't endangered by it. The network hash rate is now at or near the highest it's ever been, and yet the network is more fragile. It is only a small consolation that those who are undermining it are the ones who are trying for short term profit from it, and thus will be those who will lose from it. It's not quite too late, though. For those of you who may be mining on dwarfpool and who don't intend to undermine the Monero network, choose among the smaller pools on that link, and help secure the network whose longevity is ultimately where your profit comes from. YES, This is extremely important, I mine infrequently (electric is sky high here) and always pick small pools. The payouts are the same over time. Dwarfpool is run by a scammer so don't say you weren't warned. And mining on your own is not impossible. |

Can you dumb down your posts a tad for us noobie morons, please. Serious. Probably some good intel you're sharing.
Not really, try reading the links those that trade drop in here and watch the market. Nothing beats years of watching it. |

I will invest in XMR and maybe Doge. XMR will grow in my opinion and also i think Doge will be at least 0.000001 Btc/1 Doge
You forgot some Zero's. |

I sold everything and want to buy back in, since I really think Monero price is WAY too low currently.
I just hate buying a coin that is currently up 20%. Anyone have some advice on a price to buy some coins back?
I wrote you some advice and then noticed you advertise that shitcoin mill yobit so it's gone now. Do you own research. Thanks xmr buyers. im out and now have free btc to do what I wish with. profit so good im going on vacation. Anyone here want to join me with their new found wealth?
You remind me of this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHg8qIKJo1I&t=1swow 100k xmr, imagine he still had them today. He's probably crying hard now. But seriously, someone lock in some profits with me and lets go to vegas this weekend and celebrate new years eve there. You wanna join me. Nah, I do not enjoy gambling. I tried once with my classmates 10 yrs ago and lost 1 euro and after that I promised myself I do not play cards or other similar games + according to the Jewish law it is pure stealing because the person who loses is not giving up his money willingly sincehe has in mind that I will win (Rav Yosef Karo, Shulchan Aruch). I prefer investing and sticking also long term. Also I do not want to start a correspondence with tax authorities. I just saw 5 orthodox Jews with the hats and curly side burn things playing texas hold em for 2 weeks straight, and I thought the same thing. they told me they were supposed to be at a convention in NY. Did anyone notice already the amount of available XMR is declining ? The amount of XMR for sale on polo was ~350.000, now its down to ~200.000. Thanx to the GUI i guess  You cannot use those numbers as indicators, if you do you will lose (badly). |

Seems like CPU mining Monero supports only SSE2 and AES, there doesn't seem to be support yet for AVX, AVX2 or SSE4.1. Are they planned or not?
SSE2 adds instructions dealing with long integers that I guess are beneficial to our application where as all the later iterations are just adding more multimedia/gaming instructions that have no effect on our applications but I think they are all backward compatible so you could add them but would just not get any improvement and may even get less as the overhead used for a larger set being used, but I havn't coded with extensions since the original X86 so I don't consider myself an expert anymore. AES is a standard specifically designed for encryption, where as AES-NI is the most fully capable of the instruction sets for our uses. Advanced Encryption Standard Instruction Set (or the Intel Advanced Encryption Standard New Instructions; AES-NI) is an extension to the x86 instruction set architecture for microprocessors from Intel and AMD proposed by Intel in March 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong guys. |

If any coin can be Bitcoin 2.0, its probably Monero.
Monero cant be Bitcoin 2.0, that are other coins that fight for that title. Monero is just more Bitcoin 1.0 as Bitcoin itself. Monero is Bitcoin 2.0 as much as pepper is salt 2.0. IOW, Monero is complementary to Bitcoin, not descended from it. But the problem about Monero is that it is a botnet coin, there will be constant selling from the botnet operators. Bitcoin is doing fine, despite having been mined by everything from rouge Steam updates to Smart Toasters. The nice thing about the Work in Proof-of-Work is that it's fungible. So it doesn't matter whether the Work is performed by Evil Botnets or Wiley Chinee or Aunt Millie's GPU rig. Even with the BTC rise there's still accumulation going on with XMR so that should be a big sign to everyone. The Monero price has risen quite a lot recently. Yup, I've been trying to lead a horse to water for years now, but you can't drown him in it. Hope you have followed this advice. I don't even mention XMR in all the "best investment threads", they are there to jump on get quick schemes and always get burned. trying to talk sense into them is a waste of time and effort which I have never been thanked for let alone rewarded for. But those threads are great to find shill accounts that are pushing shitcoins and adding those accounts to you ignore list will help protect you from future scams they are involved in, you'll be surprised how many scammers you can peg this way. |

... When we will have a node in the North Korea, then we could say that network is really secured.
That would get node owner killed. Looks like bitcoin grabbed this anonymous sucker in a headlock and applies the force of the whole body to suffocate its victim.
Ek charts aint looking sexy. All signs are that it gets steadily smothered by bitcoin, and I would expect prices to hit 280K basement. Someone also messes up with FCT lol. I wish bitcoin bull
had more arms to take FCT down in headlock, too.
I don't see XMR as a legitimate challenger to BTC, XMR is for those who want to take one specific feature of bitcoin (anonymity) and take it a step further ROTFLMFAO! You idiot, BTC is completely traceable and not even remotely anon. Not everyone gives a shit about anon..... Xmr fills a niche, it ain't no btc tho.... Believe it or not, not everyone gives a shit about BTC. And that had nothing to do with my response. I responded to his patently false troll post. He shills scam exchange and just check his post history, I bet he never even read the response. |

when i want to install thei windows 64bit GUI wallet it crashes (that means it stops the current step with the result that no wallet is installed) always in different installation steps. Anyone has the same problem?
Are you overclocking? Sounds like you have an unstable system. BTW There is no install for the x64 release so maybe you downloaded a virus? Did you check the hash? |
