  I need your guys help.

I accidentally sent some monero to my poloniex wallet without my payment id and now i need the transaction ID to claim it.

My question is where do I find my log of transaction ID's in the wallet?


Rename your wallet.dat something else like wallet.dat_old and then load your wallet.dat.keys file and refresh. It will list out all the tx you ever made (you may have to log the terminal output).

For example if 556.44 XMR are sent, the protocol will break it down into 500 + 50 + 6 + 0.4 + 0.04
Why does monero split amounts to power of 10? Why not power of 2? Are there any differences or trade offs in using different bases for this process?

Good question. Denominations are handled by the code here:
https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/blob/57cf53625817223733bdaf2f4e518ebae978713e/src/cryptonote_core/cryptonote_format_utils.h

Lines 151-190

Code:
  //---------------------------------------------------------------
  // 62387455827 -> 455827 + 7000000 + 80000000 + 300000000 + 2000000000 + 60000000000, where 455827 <= dust_threshold
  template<typename chunk_handler_t, typename dust_handler_t>
  void decompose_amount_into_digits(uint64_t amount, uint64_t dust_threshold, const chunk_handler_t& chunk_handler, const dust_handler_t& dust_handler)
  {
    if (0 == amount)
    {
      return;
    }

    bool is_dust_handled = false;
    uint64_t dust = 0;
    uint64_t order = 1;
    while (0 != amount)
    {
      uint64_t chunk = (amount % 10) * order;
      amount /= 10;
      order *= 10;

      if (dust + chunk <= dust_threshold)
      {
        dust += chunk;
      }
      else
      {
        if (!is_dust_handled && 0 != dust)
        {
          dust_handler(dust);
          is_dust_handled = true;
        }
        if (0 != chunk)
        {
          chunk_handler(chunk);
        }
      }
    }

    if (!is_dust_handled && 0 != dust)
    {
      dust_handler(dust);
    }
  }

The code above makes denomination fairly simple and should generate lots of overlapping outs even without using direct powers of two, but I'm not entirely sure why they chose this above simply using powers of two.

Updates?

Pseudocode specifications for block validation and ticketing system are being peer reviewed by programmers tomorrow. I'll be talking to them about some other problems in memory/orphan management I've yet to solve too.

I have no base, other than that someone was 2 years ahead of someone else who manage to create a fork of that work. The monero guys probably didn't even have a clue that anonymity was the shiet until darkcoin showed them, and after that they wanted to make a quick buck and go down in history books as the 'inventors of the modern "new age" anonymous economy' pfft.

I was aware of Bitcoin privacy issues since learning about Bitcoin in 2011.

I was aware of DarkCoin since its genesis block. A lot of people who were technologically ill-informed were pumping it at the Texas conference earlier this year.

However, I have never been aware that DarkCoin afforded any privacy (not even talking about anonymity at this point), because its approaches are naive.  All the recent "MasterNode" discussion and RCX code is only convincing me moreso of this. So, I never invested or became involved in DarkCoin.

Having the option to upload your wallet.dat file is retarded. lol

Right, my proposal fixes block reward at 0.117061151915 once the chain reaches that.

ah, ok, so NO adjusting block reward based on the number of coins. That sounds good.

0.117061151915 is an odd number. Why not just use 0.1 XMR?

It's the reward at block 5,781,600 (at the last block of year 10 of the chain). Perhaps I can simply lock it then at 0.12 then, and prevent coinbase dust.

351  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why is DarkCoin gaining ground? on: June 09, 2014, 04:53:57 PM
Besides it is pretty much speculation discussion Tongue

I kinda disagree.

I'm interested in reasons why Bitcoin is not implementing a feature designed for Bitcoin by Bitcoin developers and this feature is being used by a competitor.

The feature is immensely valuable and Bitcoins lack of privacy is insane. I can watch friends wallets and determine when they go to an exchange, JustDice or even blockchain.info (Blockchain is very tell tale because they always make the change address the address you send from.

Of course none of this is 100% certain, but it's worse privacy than a bank account.

The Bitcoin core developers seem to see the need for privacy and EdDSA/ring signatures:
Code:
<gmaxwell> I already have a port of the bytecoin signature system to bitcoind... so I assume someone will do that.
<gmaxwell> (I'm not releasing it right now because all releasing it will do is cause a bunch of additional silly altcoins... created by people who couldn't even do the couple hours of work.
<gmaxwell> )

Perhaps soon we'll see a high privacy sidechain based on this tech, but for now it's implemented completely in CryptoNote coins.
352  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Monero Economy on: June 09, 2014, 04:39:14 PM
Central banks like to keep inflation between 2-3%. That's too much in the crypto world.

No it is not. In fact crypto currencies can inflate much, much more than fiat without losing significant value.
Please take the time to read upthread, because I've already explained the differences between fiat money and crypto in detail.

Fiat economics and cryptoeconomics do not play by the same rules. Before bitcoin it was impossible to manipulate the work/reward relationships of money. We cryptocurrency folk are the first people to ever experiment in this arena.

Quantitative easing is a mechanism of fractional reserve banking where the central controllers give banks more lending leverage by purchasing their financial assets. The money used to purchase these assets is generated ex nihilo, as is the resulting money that is created from this leverage.

That should not in any way be compared to an increase of a proof-of-work based money supply. If the "proof" and "work" scale proportionately, there will be minimal effect on value.

......

Whether the rate of increase of the world's gold supply was historically lower or higher doesn't change the fact that the buying power of gold is (roughly) the same today as it was a thousand years ago, despite centuries of exponential inflation. Why? Because the "work" and the "proof" scaled proportionately.

I think the ideal case for exponential inflation is with a merged mining chain.

Maybe I will implement this in the future, when the Monero codebase matures a bit.

I really wish they would just contact us (dev.mc2@gmail.com or #monero-dev on freenode), as we're probably planning to integrate a lot of the same features as they are, for example database implementation.

lol, you are planning to integrate a lot of same features. Of course you are, you will do everything that bcn do, because you are copypasters.  but monero is absolutely useless - it is just a fork of bytecoin and its technology.

Also monero smells like scam because of its HUGE mine with trojans and GPU mining before official announce of GPU miners.
Just look at all cryptonote coins and you will see that monero is a sinking ship.

Okay.

So far we:
- Fixed the blockreward code that TFT broke
- Added lots of new RPC calls
- Are fixing the weird fixed tx fee system
- Fixed some of the other RPC calls
- Optimized the slowhash code performance about 20 fold (which ByteCoin ganked after from QCN and barely credited us for)
- Are implementing electrum deterministic wallets (code is already done)
- Are implementing a database
- Are fixing some of the network code
- Have almost completely coded an integrated QT wallet (Neozaru) that makes use of our new RPC calls
- Added the first open source pool infrastructure with the help of zone117x (who continually works to improve the pool)

Bytecoin difficulty has reached its highest value ever: 45,183,198 and steadily growing every hour.
Even on poloniex no one is selling for less than 0.06 per Mil. BCN and there are buy orders for over 10BTC ranging from 0.02 to 0.05 per Mil. no one is taking.

This is a great sign for investors Smiley

My guess is that some part of the BCN community knows that something serious is coming up and they are silently mining as much as possible.
This is probably related to the email DStrange has posted earlier:

356  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Monero Economy on: June 09, 2014, 04:44:26 AM
I actually think there needs to be some dynamic market mechanism for pricing the service provided by miners (processing transactions and securing the block chain). I haven't seen a convincing model for how do this though.

Part of Satoshi's insight is to just fix the supply and let the market adjust around it, which if correct (and many doubt this), means that it doesn't really matter what inflation rate is chosen (including 0%)

There was tons of stuff on the FreiCoin forums about this sort of thing, and maaku etc spent months on the problem to eventually abandon it for demurrage. If there is an answer, it's not an obvious one.
357  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Monero Economy on: June 09, 2014, 04:43:08 AM
I support an annual inflation of 1% as well.

The reason I chose such a small percent as 0.3% is that it's impossible to know how many coins have been destroyed over time. For instance, it may be that case that 50% of the coins end up missing/destroyed 10 years down the line. This would make effective inflation 0.6%, which we did not intend. If we made inflation 1%, the effect is more dramatic, with us all ending up with 2% inflation instead. If even more coins are destroyed somehow, the rate of inflation could end up being catastrophic. So, we must be careful and choose a conservative number.

Hello,

I was going through and Bytecoin (BCN) has been submitted to Coins Source. So i'm in the process of reviewing BCN.


I would greatly appreciate a Bytecoin logo (Just the symbol) that's in a dark color and is at least 200px in width and height, ideally 300x300 BCN symbol image.


Send the logo to: coins@coinssource.com or hop in www.coinssource.com, chat in lower right corner.



Thank you!

Bytecoin BCN - the mysterious 2nd gen coin has been reviewed and ranked on Coins Source

http://www.coinssource.com/crypto-coins/bytecoin-bcn/


Cheers, i think it scored higher then Monero :O



That site lists DRK above both BCN and XMR.
359  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: NXT/NEM or Monero/Bytecoin? on: June 08, 2014, 08:55:05 PM
I'm not familiar with Monero.  I'm going with the assumption that it cannot compare with Nxt, in technical innovation.

Monero has mandatory stealth addressing and optional ring signature privacy. The application of ring signatures is unique to CryptoNote coins, and is novel applied cryptography using a well studied technique.

So, you can not tell how much wealth is concentrated in any one entity with Monero. You can also not tell where money is going or how much money is going there, or where it even came from. It is a coin that has privacy today, unlike DarkCoin, which has privacy (maybe) sometime in the promised future.

Additionally, Monero is set up with very high inflation for the first two years, so that everyone is welcome to get in on it cheaply at this time.
