Monero is not affected:

For those following, there is a glibc exploit that affects all Bitcoin nodes (and all nodes of Bitcoin clones).

Here is Google's writeup on the issue: https://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2016/02/cve-2015-7547-glibc-getaddrinfo-stack.html

It can be exploited by an attacker in a number of scenarios, primarily when resolving DNS seeds.

Monero is unaffected by this, as we do not use glibc's getaddrinfo().

Down 1% for the past hour. Cmon buys you can do better. Let it all out. You don't want to be the victims here do you?

"Nobody ever lost money taking a profit." - Bernard Baruch

Don't be a victim. Kill the pumpers and sell before they end their pump. Hate me now, thank me later.

1 hour candle currently shows up 5.45%.

Do you think it's natural for a coin to go from 20-30k USD volume few weeks ago to 800k? You see nothing wrong with that?
Do you think it's natural for a menber to be inactive for almost 10 months (April 02, 2014) then post 50 dummy messages today? You see nothing wrong with that?

That's actually 21-22 months :-P

You'll thank me later.

We'll thank you now, if you get lost.


/** Since everyone is doing it... why not  **/

That's not very civil of you now is it? Let's try and behave, mkay?

Do you think it's natural for a coin to go from 20-30k USD volume few weeks ago to 800k? You see nothing wrong with that? I know you want your precious to go to Moon and back and even to Uranus but try and put the bias aside for a bit.

For what it's worth, DASH also did a x20-30 volume wise.

Bump, this probably got a bit lost in the discussion.

Current trend looks like this:

TL;DR bullish trend, may breakout soon.

Monero as in Money Nero = Black Money? Shitty name if you're looking for trouble.

You should consider a rebranding like Dash did.

No. Make sure your assumptions are correct before commenting on them.
Monero is "currency" in Esperanto.

The nero=black suffix is still there and ugly if you ask me. Doesn't look good.

http://dictionary.reverso.net/italian-english/nero

Once you've had black you never go back--especially if the choices are between an opaque blockchain and a clear one.

I think you've made the argument for the name stronger, not weaker.   Wink

Well at least one of you guys has the balls to say it like it is. You're wrong though. The Black Money name is good for a limited niche of cryptodope fiends, smoking stuff bought from your black market of choice but poor choice if you want to have a broad appeal.

You are just obnoxiously trolling at the moment. Like binaryFate stated, Monero means "currency" in esperanto.

OVERVIEW AND LOGS FOR THE DEV MEETING HELD ON 2016-02-14

Well I do and Crawallmining does also.
I'd like to see database size decreased, yes. But I surely don't take Dash as a positive example, since I find its privacy concept quite primitive in comparison to Monero.

I presume you are talking about the blockchain size. Database itself only uses a negligible amount of RAM (<100 MB) to store the blockchain.
1993  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: February 16, 2016, 06:24:32 PM
Ok screw it. Guess I'll just install the wallet on my other 64-bit machine but not happy about it.

Does the wallet download the whole blockchain?



Yes, you need to start bitmonerod (the daemon) to sync the blockchain. After that you can open simplewallet (make sure bitmonerod is still running) to transact.

So isn't there some light wallet like Electrum Monero that doesn't download the whole chain? Dash has two types of wallets, one that downloads the whole chain and another Electrum light wallet. The light wallet is perfect for storage.
Traditional light wallets just try to alleviate RAM usage which is naturally taken care of in this case by dumping the blockchain data to the hard drive. A recent monero change. If I understand it correctly.

Just checked. The Dash Electrum wallet takes around 80MB HDD space and eats 29MB of RAM.

Electrum has a detrimental effect on privacy too, even when using DASH. You can find the Monero lightwallet here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg13710902#msg13710902

Like, I've said. I don't wanna get ripped off using dubious wallets. Why isn't this on the official download page?

Is this official? https://getmonero.org/getting-started/choose

scroll to bottom.

One can also run the official simplewallet with a remote node. Node and instructions are here -> https://www.moneroclub.com/node. However, like I and others have stated before, using a remote node has a detrimental effect on privacy.

Where can I download the Monero wallet from? I could only find a web wallet. Needless to say web wallets are as secure as horse shit.

https://getmonero.org/downloads/

Trying to run the windows wallet but won't work. Any ideas why?

Error message? Screenshot? (redact any personal data of course)

Nevermind, my bad. It seems it doesn't work on 32 bit windows Sad

Coming SoonTM, I believe. Use the web wallet for non-life changing amounts in the meantime.

Thanks but guess I'll stick to Dash. They have two cool types of windows wallets. Electrum and the standard one.

The devs are working on finalizing the official 32-bit binaries. Until then you can use the unofficial binaries that are posted here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/433w2u/new_32bit_binaries_for_v091/

Hyc is the author of LMDB (database Monero uses), thus pretty trustworthy.

Interesting but I've got burned in the past using 3rd party unofficial bs code. I'd rather wait for some official version I guess. I'll stick to Dash until then.
"bs code"?
Hyc is the creator of the LMDB database that Monero uses, and also a significant contributor to Monero itself.

Indeed, if you don't trust him you shouldn't run Monero at all (even official binaries). See:

With all due respect, I think we'll be ok if the 32 bit users stick with Dash. Unless you're running ARM, you're behind the times.

Also, please refer to this: https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/622022840330682368

I also have an ARM RasPi2. I guess I can't install it on my Pi cold wallet either since it has a 32 bit processor also. Sad

Guess you guys don't have many RasPi fans using Monero. Dash has plenty and some cool Pi tutorials on how to set up such wallets.

I was initially pretty excited by Monero but what a let down.  Undecided

https://forum.getmonero.org/5/support/360/bitmonerod-node-on-rpi2-working

something like this?

Do you have any video tutorials like this Dash P2 tutorial? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AboQN19lirM

There currently exists none, but the guide itself should be sufficient.

2000  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: DASH Collapsing Monero UP on: February 16, 2016, 11:20:59 AM

seem like XMR is proving itself to be better than any other coins.
I've move some of my coins to monero as well, hope i can gain thru this and hope its value won't depreciates much.
I am not sure if Monero is better than other coins. They are just complimentary. They each have unique characteristics.

they said monero is untraceable which and has no issue about blocksize - whatever that means lol. still they are getting much attention these days people talked about them more often.

Monero has an adaptive blocksize limit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/45b8qn/my_journey_to_finding_monero_and_some_questions/czwlcdb

There doesn't need to be a debate to which the limit should be raised, because it raises/scales automatically.
