Go back to troll school. Twitter entry and the paste are 100 years old, what's wrong with you?
Come up with better faked sources.

Still no CryptoNote-support, only does Scrypt and Quark.


---> All good until now. Yeah, yeah I know there maybe some small, amateur botnets that mine XMR. But the accusations that the professional botnet mining scene is big involved in XMR/CN-mining is still wrong and FUD.

And why do you believe this?

Don't compare/use a standard technology/innovation adoption curve.
Crypto-Currency is no standard incremental innovation, like a new webservice getting traction, based on known technology and some improvements change.

Crypto-Currency is an breakthrough innovation ("basic innovation") and should be compared to the diffusion model/curve of other highly disruptive technogly, based on experience in the past.

Where can I download this great malware?

Possible cuz software, driver and firmware is open source and documented.

Bitcoin-Verbot in Russland ist gar nicht so unwahrscheinlich. Nicht aus ideologischen, gesellschaftlichen oder bitcoin-inhärenten Gründen, sondern einfach nur als Markt-Protektion um WebMoneys Vormachtstellung als E-Currency in Russland und russland-nahen Staaten zu schützen.

Aus RU-Sicht sinnvoll weil:
a) man behält einen relevanten, eigenen E-Currency-Player, den man kontrolliert,
b) man stärkt die regionale IT-Wirtschaft und bewahrt eines der wenigen großen Internetunternehmen, auf dass die Amerikaner keinen Zugriff haben (Privacy, Freiheit, ... - auch gut für uns Europär) und
c) die halb-staatliche russiche Sberbank ist Mehrheitsaktionär bei WebMoney. (Da hilft man als RU-Gesetzgeber natürlich gern.)


Nicht unwahrscheinlich, IMHO. Wird für Bitcoin-Unternehmungen dann natürlich schwieriger in RU zu arbeiten. Sonst wird sich nichts groß ändern, bekanntlich interessieren sich Russen nicht so sehr für Verbote und Gesetze. So dass es kaum Nutzerrückgang geben wird. Vermutlich würde mit einem offz. Verbot Bitcoin in RU nur noch bekannter und für Normalpersonen interessanter, sobald verboten. (== "muss gut sein")

Yo, hatte nach Empfehlung mal ein angeblich geeignetes CMS (für diese Art von Seite) getestet. Heisst, wie man sieht: Mollify. Naja, lange Rede, kurzer Sinn. Selbstredend hat sich Mollify als super schlecht erwiesen. Ich werde die Seite die nächsten Tage mal fixen und umfangreich updaten.

Mal sehen, will/wollte dort ordentliches CMS fahren, ambesten mit HTML-Videoplayer, freien Flash-Viewer, .ods/.xls-Viewer/Preview, Thumbnails für Gallerien, besserer Uploader, usw.

Danke für den Hinweis. Hatte ich halb vergessen/verdrängt.

IMHO, for XMR there is a new kind of "exchange service" needed.

I feel like an: "trustworthy" or "trustless" XMR<->BTC exchange avaible on the DarkNet is needed. Doing quick/instant anon XMR<->BTC exchanges for an small fee, like 0,3%.
Exchange features: 100% anon, no user accounts, no logging, instant delivery, obvious no KYC/AML bullshit, no frills (only XMR<->BTC), quick order process, instant payout after receiving customer TX, always $3000 till $10000 reserve of both coins, no hour long waiting for "balance refill" (like at russian ecurrency exchangers), owner based in XMR community and supporting XMR development with profit from fees, very good, audited opsec

If a person X wan'ts to support the XMR ecosystem. What service/solution should he offer, that would help the XMR community to grow & prosper, as it is most missed today?


Cliffs for realism:

- Must be doable online service/project/company. Shouldn't need more then $50 K investment.

- No ethics needed, can be legit business, semi-legit/grey area or not legal, in underdeveloped countries like North Korea, USA, Myanmar, Afghanistan, etc.

- Obvious no pervert or hardcore freaky/criminal business cases/ideas, that would give XMR bad image.

- Can be if technically or intellectual challenging. But suggest what you think XMR community/ecosystem is missing.
(Even if it's standard ecommerce stuff or easy adaption to XMR of some standard webservice, that aint cool. Where building & operation site standard/boring,
some one was to build it for XMR. If there is demand.)

Would BTC<->XMR fee-less or are would you be ok paying a small fee?

The failure and death of Litecoin, due long-lasting and amazing mismanagement, will go down in history. And be featured as legendary case study in Business Schools classes and management literature, on how to fuck up an promising project, besides having all resources, advantage, an once active community, ...

Intresting case to study for real, as the two leaders are being portrayed as "smart", expierenced and well connected in the CC scene.
 

Let them cash out and take some stupid money. No rational-minded, objective person, - who at least minimal researches his investment decisions - will prefer BCN over XMR or BBR.
Some one who('s) knowingly invest(ing) in BCN after a self-made decision, between/out of: ...

a) No-Investing, b) Investing in other solid coin, c) Investing in other CN coin and d) invest in BCN.

... has some serious (expert) knowledge problems and should better not invest in Cryptos at all. As it will be a person, who doesnt act fact based and make his investment decisions influence by FUD, gut instinct   , "getting lucky", superstitiousness, .......

99,99% of the time, this person will lose his investment in the crypto scene anyway, be it by being scammed, investing in a P&D scheme, making other bad decisions (no risk spreading, investing in clearly dead coins, ...).


So IMHO, if someone really want's to buy BCN he should be invited, to do his donation to the CryptoNote.org/BCN-crew.
Even if these guys (in charge of the websites/domains now) act strange and weird today, they deserve some $$$$$$ for bringing this wonderful technology plattform in the spotlight. Let's hope the real developers/invetors, behind the tech are happy with the situation (CN adaption, image, distribution of $$$ made by the BCN crew, community/ecosystem dominated by BCN crew/CN.org, ...) today. Maybe, maybe not.

Still interesting to know, in what relationship these people, who manage CN.org/CN foundation/.../BCN now, have/had with the tech mind(s) behind it.

I propose to call rpietila: "Monero Jesus".

Because:

- it's: good, cheap marketing - every journalist and average citizen understands

- builds on "Bitcoin Jesus" good image/awareness level/fame

- the "Jesus"-connection helps people to understand what Monero is (a Crypto-Currency, that is a "good/noteworthy" successor/alternative to Bitcoin) & gets them intrested

- rpietila earned "the title"/some recognition for his good, hard and comprehensive for XMR

- he is also a great choice IMHO, because I think we would represent the coin and community very well and act/work adequate and professional with journalists/PR people/industry professionals/... or whoever want to get in contact with the Monero community or relevant individuals
(he is a good choice, because he is not nerdy, has a solid proven Bitcoin track record, is trusted and respected and gives analytic, justified, honest opinions, ...)

- let's have good (lead) Monero Evangelist, chosen by us (the community), now - before some lame bad actors declare themselves to Monero experts and harm the coin with lame interviews or bad TV appearance ...
