Garbage posts are not allowed and neither is Trolling.

I have no clue how you guys get away with so much bs around here.

Pot calling the kettle black if I've ever seen it.

I'd like to bet on who gets (correctly) banned first, smoothie or Spoetnik.

So, will investors who hold Jinn assets after the IOTA redemption period is over be legally transferred profit-shares?

1. They are not investors.

Hard to believe when they were promised "profit-shares".

Quote
Investor: to put (money) to use, by purchase or expenditure, in something offering potential profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value

You saying it now (either here or in your disclosure documents) does not make it so.

Who was promised of "profit-shares"?

Jinn buyers, according to the claims made in this post. I don't know whether they are correct or not, nor do I know whether your posts are correct. I only know what I read.

According to that dictionary definition, people purchasing or expending money on IOTA tokens are also investors, unless you are going to prohibit IOTA tokens from ever being traded (not sure how that would work) and only allow them to be used as network access. They offer "potential profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value".

Lawyers will have to work out the legalities, but when it comes to the English language and matters of substance, they are clearly investors.

David did run a company to promote Monero

Not that I'm aware of no. He said he decided to start a company to help promote Monero, but I'm not aware of any such promotion actually happening by such a company.

PS: innocent people do NOT apologize.

Since you are some sort of sociopath or maybe just stupid, you wouldn't understand this but innocent people do apologize when they make mistakes and people end up getting hurt as a result. Making mistakes does not make someone guilty, it makes them human.



Thanks for your updates Risto, looks like we are coming to the end game now.

Indeed, your game has become such a joke to all rational observers, that I doubt you will continue it.

Updated staking. Down a bit after the withdrawals, and stake weight on the network is up as well. Current average about one stake every 3 hours.

If someone sends an outstandingly large amount of Monero, she may create the outputs of the uniquely large size that haven't been created before by anyone.

Yes if you do that you won't be able to mix when you spend it (obviously). You will still be able to spend it though.

Maybe we will add some kind of warning to the wallet, or an option to generate multiple smaller outputs. That is not done yet.

Quote
There is an exception for that.

Is it anything interesting, or simple rule checking? Will this exact output in a transaction be just excluded from the rule?

I don't understand what you mean about "this exact output".

The rule is somewhat complicated, and I don't even remember the details. There are some conditions about how mixable and non-mixable inputs can be combined. The idea is limit use of non-mixed inputs but also not prevent people from spending their coins. There is also a sweep_dust command in the wallet to help combine large amounts of dust into a mixable (and more usable) form easily.

3808  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [XMR] Monero - Marketing Team & Tactics on: December 04, 2015, 06:56:31 PM
... and how many credible solutions to the fixed blocksize problem in Bitcoin are there?

You are correct of course. Monero has many other important features besides privacy, that's just the best known. Either way Spoetnik's delusional fantasy deliberate trolling about 100s of other coins having the same features is completely wrong.

Trying to sync the 0.9.6 aeond for the first time, the daemon keeps getting killed for some reason...any ideas?

Then I start it up again and I have to start syncing the blockchain from 0.

I'm also running bitmonerod on this machine, so maybe its too much for it to handle at the same time?

Code:
2015-Dec-03 23:40:32.289786 [P2P2]CHECKPOINT PASSED FOR HEIGHT 540000 <94e19cf9d5a16ae90f67c321f8376b87da21d6d6c2cb0957b9ab558dca66c1dc>
Killed

edit: After starting over, the daemon gets killed at the same point, just after the checkpoint for 540000.

That seems like out of memory (Linux "OOM killer"). You can try the pruning branch which uses somewhat less. You can also try adding a bit of swap on your system. If the shortfall isn't too large, swap will help without performance being too terrible. Installing the dphys-swapfile package on Ubuntu will manage swap automatically for you, not sure if there is a non-manual swap solution on other distros.

A contender for bitcoin ?  Roll Eyes

We would have known that almost 2 years ago..

Monero was only launched (in a very rough state) 19 months ago. The new version that has been in heavy development for a year is a vast improvement and isn't even released yet (though many are using the prerelease test versions).

Quote
The same grand feature claims that 100's of other coins claim.

There are only a tiny handful of viable coins (with ongoing development) that have any sort of credible claims of blockchain privacy. Only a few cryptonotes are still remotely viable in terms of ongoing development and are also the only solution that is fully trustless (no third party mixing). Shadow cash (cryptonote-derived) may be viable, but I'm not sure how ongoing their development is still. There are a bunch of mixing-based solutions (Dash, joinmarket for BTC). Bitshares has a partial solution (not sure if deployed) with CT. Nxt has something, I'm not sure what. Zerocash may someday exist, then we can consider it.

These are all distinct from Monero is various obvious and important ways. Even ignoring the other differences, there are not certainly not hundreds with credible privacy solutions at all. Maybe 5-10 at most.



3811  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Monero vs Boolberry Chess Challenge and CryptoNote technical discussion on: December 04, 2015, 05:48:55 PM
I believe you're saying that under an assumption that corporations will adopt a form of blockchain that is already available on the market.

Not necessarily, no, but the technology will still be important.

Quote

[permissioned blockchains]

It is a entirely different paradigm of privacy. You still have blockchain, which is easily auditable and verifiable for any party that might have such rights, but a competitor would not be able to even connect to the blockchain.

The real world doesn't work that way. Business collaborate one day and compete the next (or even the very same day). Even when collaborating they don't want to share all information, and certainly not with every member of a group. To control access to information once access to the blockchain has been granted at all, privacy features are needed.

Permissioned blockchains will often need privacy, just as the current example (or maybe more near future, but I'm not sure of the deployment schedule) of the Liquid permissioned blockchain does. Depending on the nature of the use cases for the permissioned blockchains, there may be some exceptions (explicitly public records perhaps).

Furthermore, I'm not even sure there will be too many successful permissioned blockchains. In the past, there were many proprietary closed networks. A few still exist, but most communication now happens over the regular internet. Not even VPNs, but web services with access keys. The need for many interconnections may in time make these closed/semiclosed systems impractical and/or cost-ineffective even when the interaction takes the form of blockchains.

Monero is on serious life support.. early baggies have dumped long ago.
only the last fools bailing from the sinking ship are left..
+1

And yet the market cap is 30% higher than it was a year ago.

You need to understand that this guy is a troll, he was banned for stalking, false accusations and death threats on nxtforum the day before.

I don't read nxtforum, so that means nothing to me. I haven't seen any stalking on this thread at all. I've seen you avoid the questions about conversion of the JINN asset into IOTA, and the quoted promise that the JINN asset would be legally converted into profit shares.

Was that quote false or out of context?


Haven't avoided any questions. Like I said, it is clearly explained over at the nxtforum (only relevant forum for this discussion).

Then you should simply sign off here. Bitcointalk.org users can discuss it among ourselves.

CLAM is not very popular coin, may be some dice game users use it, so this is the reason - not so many CLAM buyers  Wink

You should visit the clam thread then backread on some of the post there to find out the reason.

Don't bother he is sigspamming and/or mining up his activity rank. You can always identify these folks in that they have a paid signature campaign and their post history is full of one liners on a bunch of different topics where they are uninformed or barely informed.
3816  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [BTE] The Bytecoin Information Thread on: December 04, 2015, 03:33:26 AM
This is BTE, the original 1:1 Bitcoin clone (Bytecoin). Indeed, it has nostalgic value to some.

I am curious: At which point in Bitcoin's history does the 1:1 clone apply? Is this clone been actively maintained? If Bitcoin forks, core vs XP/BIP101, which fork would BTE go with?  The relvance of this coin given what is currently happening with Bitcoin may turn out to be a lot more than just historical interest or trademark disputes.

The repo is here: https://github.com/bryan-mills/bytecoin

Looks like it was forked from Bitcoin as of April 1, 2013, and no Bitcoin commits from after that were ever merged.

If I recall the proposal correctly, it imposes a new rule on outputs. They cannot be spent in the next transaction unless a minimum mixin is provided. Correct me if I'm wrong. But what about the case when certain inputs cannot be mixed due to absence of ringsig partners?

There is an exception for that.

Also, non-standard outputs can't be created any more, so they will eventually be "used up".


What would be the reason for an absence of ring sig partners? I thought there were large numbers of mixins available for all but the largest size transactions (amounts higher than 99% of us even own). I cant find the link but somewhere I saw a listing of avaible mixins but value and there were many. Available mixins only increase over time right?

There are outputs with uneven amounts such as 0.0002452113 that won't necessarily match any other outputs.

In the future every output will be a multiple 1-9 of a power of ten, and indeed there are only a limited number of those (roughly 150, though the number in common use will be much smaller) and all except the very largest amounts will have many available.

I thought CN/XMR already did the powers of ten thing.  Where did the fiddly bits come from?

It wasn't enforced, and the power-of-ten denominations weren't used below a certain value threshold.

Quote
Would it be possible or desirable to create/construe customized blocks to tie up such loose ends, along with any possibly malignant 0 mixin leftovers?

No because they belong to many different people.

Just a warning to miners, you may have to update scratchpad sizes. I have miners connecting and not submitting shares. I noticed my nvidia miner had a scratchpad issue and it's probably happening to everyone using that if they updated the scratchpad size to be
Code:
64<<21
We have reached the point past that. You will need to change that, so probably
Code:
64<<22


Thank you for telling us this but can you explain in more detail what the meaning of this is

The PoW algorithm uses some data from each block as a scratchpad (memory accessed in the process of computing the hash value). As the blockchain gets longer this scratchpad gets bigger.

Quote
and how we change the code exactly?

I'll leave that to others who know the code better.

The thing smooth mentioned that value is given per hour of play, is true as well but that one is not giving XMR rather CKG, another type of asset.

Ah yes, I forgot that detail. But CKG pays dividends in moneritos...
