Crosspost because relevant. I'll not clutter the chess game any further :-P MoneroMooo has been working on it in his own branch, but since it is not merged yet it probably isn't finished. See -> https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/commits/cold and in particular this commit: https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero/commit/3c44e9fb6c1b57852d37780414ed6e42afc19afbThis change adds the ability to create a new unsigned transaction from a watch only wallet, and save it to a file. This file can then be moved to another computer/VM where a cold wallet may load it, sign it, and save it. That cold wallet does not need to have a blockchain nor daemon. The signed transaction file can then be moved back to the watch only wallet, which can load it and send it to the daemon.
Two new simplewallet commands to use it:
sign_transfer (on the cold wallet)
submit_transfer (on the watch only wallet)
The transfer command used on a watch only wallet now writes an unsigned transaction set in a file called 'unsigned_monero_tx' instead of submitting the tx to the daemon as a normal wallet does. The signed tx file is called 'signed_monero_tx'. It worked, though I'm not sure it still applies, though any conflicts should not be hard to solve, if there are any. What needs doing there is reducing the size of the exchange files, as they're a complete set of transactions plus relevant data, which means the whole deserilization code on the cold wallet is an attack surface. Cutting the size down will apparently make it easier to transfer via QR code scanning, avoiding attacks via filesystems and removable media firmware. But it works  |

Difficulty has dropped a lot!
1h ago :
Difficulty: 537178064
Looks like a big botnet went offline last night.
Seems like monero.net dropped off, they had a significant amount of hashrate if I recall correctly. |

this is so bad  I do not follow these guys. Are they trustworthy? This is for real? They have been on point with their previous "investigations", so I would say yes. |

Just curious, I was reading in the IRC channel that someone by the name of "Wolf'" is planning on making an AMD miner... If this were to happen and I had a pretty old Window XP with an AMD Athlon in it, would it be worth trying to mine off of that? Or should I just stick with trying to get the node working on there? Oh btw I'm still trying to figure out how to run the node and am having no luck... So if someone could point me to a very newbie friendly step by step on how to do that I would be greatful.. Thanks.
Edit: the windows XP is from 2005 I think
Here is a guide about running a full node -> http://blog.carl.pro/2015/09/monero-how-to-setup-a-full-node/. If you are on windows you could use the 0.9 beta binaries instead of 0.8.8.6 -> https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.win.x64.v0-9-beta.zipEDIT: Another guide here -> https://getmonero.org/getting-started/running |

As bitcoin rises, most (if not all alts), will fall.
This cycle has happened several times with XMR, LTC, DASH.
If bitcoin breaks to the upside expect lower prices all around (at least in the medium/short term).
XMR significantly differs from most alts, so perhaps we could differ wrt price as well. Only time will tell though. I've personally never understood why you would dump XMR if BTC rises, if the XMR/BTC pair remains stable the value of your XMR measured in fiat terms rises as well. |

wooow there are 3 sherlock holmes here(but they don't have a proof). @americanpegasus, @onemorexmr and @opennux... congratulations guys but you are all wrong  But it s ok for me coz I 've already knew that monero community don't have a brain hohoh  If i were you guys i would do something to save Monero fall instead of Trolling. If I were you I would try to comprehend that one persons actions do not represent that of an entire community. I'm not trolling. Yeah you are right. but XMR community have many trolls (icebreaker, smoothie etc.) . icebreaker and smoothie are embarrassment to the community. They dont help the XMR, they just fud other coins. I don't mind any crypto currency besides Bitcoin. I am just a day trader. You have to put a collor on your legendary dogs. With DASH crashing and burning the DASH trolls are really coming out of the woodwork. woah I just seeing this now, DASH is crashing bad thats why so many attacks on Monero, smooth and AEON. are you blind? cant you see DASH and MONERO crashing together. Do you know why? No you dont know why. Coz you don't have brain to think. I dont mind monero or dash or aeon or another shitcoin. But we have to f.ck @icebreaker, @adamwhite and @smoothie because they manipulate our minds. What the hell are you babbling about? Smooth has been actually developing, improving, and helping out the monero community? What have you done besides spouting out "lul, you dumb, you has shit coin" etc. etc. Many people can't seem to distinguish smooth and smoothie :-P Anyway, let's go back to speculation. |

Also, anyone have a clue about the recent dump? Bit suspicious that it happens just before the DEVS are starting some sort of promotion tour  Before any XMR fudsters start, your coin is down more If you are going to say something like that, come up with some concrete numbers. DASH is currently at ~0.009, that's ~36% of last top (~0.025). Monero is currently at ~0.00172, that's ~40% of the last top (~0.0043). Both are doing bad, but you can't really say one is doing worse than the other (in terms of price). |

WHY DASH AND MONERO COMMUNITY FIGHT CONSISTENTLY?
They're not. Dash doesn't have a community anymore so it can't be accused of fighting. (You can't fight if you don't exist.) The market traders who have temporal dash positions are engaging for the sake of self-service. That said I really don't feel sorry for Evan that the project failed. It was poorly conceived, poor branded, and then apocalyptically rebranded. No-one could afford to have such dangerously flawed projects in a space where we badly needed a strong counterpoint. Simple as that. I don't think you are in any position to say there isn't a community or that the project failed. Agree with you here, quite a peculiar statement to make in my opinion and one that should be refrained from. |

Rumour has it there is a large whale who is making a stand at 2 USD / ~0.0084 XBT.
Not a rumour, Otoh has placed the dollar order on Cryptsy of around 21,000 Dash(posted way back, about it) He will be happy to mop up the dumpers, and has been known to keep topping the order up on previous occasions and always kept to his word, I dare you to dare him What I am wondering about is why he is putting up this wall on the DASH/USD market, whereas the DASH/BTC market has way more volume. DASH had a relatively high volume day today (aggregate of all exchanges), but there is only $77 volume on the Cryptsy DASH/USD pair. Furthermore, I think a wall in that particular market isn't really going to work, since most dumpers want BTC anyway. I imagine it's quite a hassle to get your USD out of Cryptsy as well. Just curious about the reasoning behind this move. |

... but there remains the issue of Satoshi dying and creating a massive capital gains / estate tax liability. When it comes to Satoshi's coins I am far more concerned about Satoshi's estate than Satoshi.
Satoshis coin are forever a dark cloud hanging over the markest, I think he deserves his fortune but it is what it is, like any coin with premine or instamine these coin could be dumped at any time, we can't ever be sure if he still has the private keys or someone else is or will be in possession of them and will ever move or dump the coins, it is an eternal state of uncertainty. Idk if I remember correctly, but I remember seeing a thread somewhere on here that Satoshi actually did move his coins... Is there any validity to this? That was a bug from one of the block explorers where a fake transaction hash got injected and subsequently approved because their script was buggy. Obviously fake, since no other block explorers were showing the transcation. @Melbustus: Regarding Satoshi's coins, I dug up a past reply of mine that perfectly suits the current scenario with his coins as well: Monero has the advantage that, unlike with Bitcoin, you can't track the blockchain for incoming deposits at exchanges nor measure the amount of Bitcoin days destroyed. I've witnessed multiple occasions where people started dumping based on Bitcoin days destroyed.

So I read a lot about most of the stuff on the website and it was a really interesting read and didn't know how many coins were out there that instamined all of their coins, it's a good thing that a couple of people out there in the world is keeping an eye on these kind of things. But if I were to want to get more into the unbiased research of Monero in terms of protocol and what each altcoin offers in terms of speed of transaction, privacy, and that kind of thing... where would I go? I wouldn't even know where to begin to look and at this point in time, I just go off based of what people tell me on this forum. Has this guy made a post somewhere that answers all these types of questions in a very laid out format like this guy did in the post above? Thanks, I feel like I'm learning so much in such a short amount of time when it comes to cryptos in general. Edit: Also, I have heard on some threads on here that Satoshi has roughly 1 Million BTC that he possesses.. does this mean that bitcoin was a fast mined coin or something of that nature? In terms of technical details, each proper coin should have a white paper which describe its internals in a scientific way. I'm not aware of any review white paper comparing or summarizing different coins in a scientific manner. So I guess, you would have to go through the white papers yourself for coins that interest you, try to understand them, and make your own comparisons and draw conclusions. For example: A cryptonote white paper (the protocoll monero and boolberrry are using) is here: https://www.cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdfA bitcoin white paper is here: https://bitcoin.org/bitcoin.pdfMonero specific white papers are here: https://lab.getmonero.org/Other coins should also have their own white papers. Hope this helps. p.s. about satoshi others wrote here. I dont know much about early days of bitcion. In addition, a review of the cryptonote whitepaper by the MRL guys -> https://downloads.getmonero.org/whitepaper_review.pdf |

Bitcoinwisdom is working again properly for Dash / Cryptsy Edit: maybe it only functions sub 0.01  thanks for the info, its still missing pre 02-oct-2015 history but i guess thats something we will have to live with. At least its providing current information as of today again and its building up history too. (using proxy still provides complete history of course for those users not seeing complete history) FWIW: Bear in mind that technical analysis is also not possible currently. Given that a part of the historical data is missing, the indicators are unreliable. |

TPTB_need_war already posted an interesting refutation regarding this comment, but I wanted to add something else. If you read and interpreted his blog posts correctly, you would've noticed he uses a lot of IF and THEN, you have to be able to understand what he means with that in order to understand his predictions. |

there was/is a painter bot active and i hate it, risto pointed it out some time ago. dont know what kind of algo this is, but its pretty good in painting candles red without spending a lot of money.
it does this on different time scales too if possible. @pegasus: funny findings after October a huge crash happend, some of us got burned, but it made us strong. then a bubble happend, those who went through darkness without fear got rewarded. it was hell of a ride and it will continue like that I think it is mostly painting green, but during the time risto pointed it out it was painting red (thus switched in reverse). I also think it is currently painting green. |

Some nice buys going on today. Since candlesticks can be deceiving and easily manipulated I pointed out the buys and sells for today (green dot = buy, red dot = sell). FWIW: If you are looking at candlesticks, just look closely at the open, high, low and close on a short time frame (best to look at 1 or 3m). Furthermore, the rates are still quite high and the offers outstanding quite low compared to a few weeks ago (see -> http://monerodice.pd.to/polo.php), so it could be that our suspected shorter (or other shorters) are taking out loans to supress the price. This is just a little theory though, I have no conclusive evidence of this.  |
