Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Bounty for open source ByteCoin/Monero GUI

Mono doesn't port WPF to other platforms. http://www.mono-project.com/WPFThe only real solution would be to either use one of the two largest platform independent GUI frameworks -> Qt or GTK+ Hmm, was afraid so. Will have to look into other UI's. As far as I can tell other parts of the .NET framework I used are all available in mono. Maybe I'll make an alternate UI which is compatible with mono (WinForms is supported, could be an option). You did beat me into it, but then again you are simply capturing the deamon command window output. I was diving into making a native wallet while chatting with othe all along. I had to find out the hard way that several parts of the cryptonote code that are included aren't usable in c++/clr wrapping. I managed to build it and use a simple c++ gui and call the deamon functions directly. To get this far i did spend 15 hours of researching, learning, error solving, etc... Next i was learning Qt and managed to build some coin wallets for linux, windows and mac. I was trying to use an existing coin frontend and rewrite the middle code. Now i feel sad about continueing, i don't want it to be a race. Still you'r solution does not has my recommendations, thru i even considered it to do it that way. Then i would had had a wallet past week  Don't be sad! See if you can share code and split the bounty.  |

Some further questions:
Couldn't someone just creates a whole lot of addresses and then submit with every address the needed amount, so he can win the lottery safely? Ticket distribution is controlled by purchasing them with the number of coins equal to the stake difficulty, so increasing the number of addresses for coin concentration is actually deleterious (there is an input quantity limit). I can't see any incentitive for runnig full nodes, which is a problem as you might see at bitcoin. How about the idea only full nodes receive tx_fees(running a wallet with full blockchain) and miners not? Full node running is incentivized by the PoS system, who have it in their personal interest to ensure that abuses of the blockchain (weird tx types, tx exclusion as seen with bitcoin) does not occur. Where is the incentitive to submit tickets? When there are no "fresh issues", you will probably earn as much, as you submit, but ypu can't use a part of your coins. This will end in nobody submitting tickets. If you don't use your ticket to validate your block, it becomes invalid. So you are strongly incentivized to vote on your block, unless you'd prefer to lose your reward. Or maybe, i didn't undertsand it correctly and everybody gets their money afterwards back and the lottery winner gets a reward for the block he submitted. Which one is right?
As far as I understand, even people, who didn't win in the lottery, can use their tickets, to sign a block. Otherwise it would be really insecure
Only persons with tickets corresponding to the lottery winner number can sign the block. |

Well, it seems like an (almost) perfect coin Some questions though: 1. These tickets are spent by the stakeholder when the lottery
winner selected by the current PoW block is the same as the
ticket number. I thought, he can spent his ticket freely to vote for a block? I think I missunderstood their sth. Tickets can only be spent when ticket number == lottery winner number. Ticket number is static (and randomly selected at sometime in the past), lottery winner number is random per block. 2. 2. the attacker has 51% of the stake of the coin, and So a signature also contains the amount of coins a stakeholder has to do this or the stakeholder diffi culty is this a value based on the amount the stakeholder has? Stakeholder difficulty is similar to bitcoin difficulty, and is a number of coins that is fixed for some period to meet a target of 5 new tickets issued per block. It's a minimum value required to buy a stake ticket, or really, the price of a stake ticket. In addition to the attacker must withhold use of their stake transactions in addition to mining PoW blocks in secret. you could implent, that in every transaction the hash of the most recent block has to be included and the block chain enforces the rule that the transaction can only be included in block chains that build off of that block then no one will be able to build secret block chains. This would add an additional security layer -SourceThat actually doesn't help (as far as I can tell) in the situation, as you would just incorporate the headers of your malignant secret chain. There are also severe issues with this -- if a chain is reorg'd, you can never reincorporate tx that had block header hashes that no longer exist and so double spending becomes much, much easier. |

Good luck catching up As long as they're using their broken version of coinjoin no one should bother with drk anyway DarkCoin was first coin I ever mined. I got some of the easy coins in the first few days and made profit. I think the implementation darksend is too complicated. Many people without any knowledge setting up masternodes. Potential for many things to go wrong. Worse yet, the government will set up all the masternodes. There is no practical advantage over Bitcoin mixing services, and Bitcoin already has stealth addressing too. So the advantage of drk is what? |

The world’s first exchange for Monero just opened! A beta test was done in partnership with the Monero developers and the end result was very satisfying. The exchange is operational and new features will be released soon. Inauguration bonus: - The first 10 first users will be credited 10 MRO each.
- The 10 first depositers will be credited 20 MRO.
- Beta testers will receive a little surprise in their account after they sign up again.
(forum thread pending) A milestone |
