Because they still have millions in customer funds.

If you are looking for a community that is at the cutting edge of innovation in a proof of work crypto currency, Then I would suggest Monero. For example: We just funded a project towards the implementation of confidential transactions and multi signature transactions with Cryptonote ring signature anonymity. Not only is this extremely cutting edge but the project was funded by the community in approximately 9 hours indicating the strength and dedication of the community. https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2450/ring-ct-c-crypto. The paper on which this work is based is available here https://www.overleaf.com/read/qzgytbyyxvyf. This is a community focused on building a cutting edge fungible and private crypto currency that also addresses the blocksize scaling issues in Bitcoin. The emphasis is on doing things right where mathematical rigor and peer review, take precedence over marketing.

Whichever coin and community you chose I do urge you to spend some time beforehand by doing you own research. This is what I chose to do before becoming a part of the Monero community.

ahh, you want to steal ETH from who? sorry but this really sounds suspicious.

otherwise everything you need to know (after you found the PW:

Yes, but if white moves his Queen to capture our Knight we can attack his Bishop and King, capturing the Bishop.

I like the logo part of the logo, and the color. The thing I don't like is the circle.

I think we discussed before the importance of shape as an element of recognition.

Take a quick look at coinmarketcap. As you scroll lower down the list (including to the second page >100) fewer and fewer of the logos have a distinctive shape and more are just circles. In fact, overall, just way too many of the coins have circle logos. It worked for Bitcoin, but now its just being a follower. I'd like to avoid being in that group.

Hopefully there is a way to take good ideas from this logo and recast the overall shape. Beyond that, I don't have any great suggestions, and I suck as a designer.

Okay so the high-quality vector of this logo is available here:-

I haven't had much time to work on it over the holidays but I'm kinda thinking we're getting close, at least in respect of the pictorial element.

Things to consider moving forward will be:-

1. Accompanying text component.
2. Accompanying web-palette.

I'm also currently working on some possible logo extensions.

Feel free to chime in / modify.

Please continue the technical discussions, particularly about new research papers and commits of importance.

Monero is a vastly different project from its CryptoNote origins. In the year-and-a-half since we took over as stewards of the Monero project we've added 246000 lines of code (ignoring modifications to external libraries such as unbound, miniupnpc, lmdb, etc.) and modified 13890 existing lines of code. Our focus has been on major improvements to both the protocol and implementation, as well as incremental refactoring and commenting.

To give you a stark example of the differences: Bytecoin currently has 13336 comments in its code, and Monero has 36072.

Off the top of my head, here are things that Monero has done that Bytecoin hasn't:

- Discovered severe, fundamental flaws in the underlying CryptoNote protocol
- Proposed fixes for those flaws
- Implemented fixes for those flaws in a hard fork
- Implemented a rolling hard fork mechanism
- Completely overhauled and improved the CMake build mechanism with the assistance of Kitware, the creators of CMake
- Improved and extended the wallet storage format
- Massively improved the (purposely obfuscated / broken) PoW hashing mechanism
- Added Electrum-style mnemonic seeds
- Created and added wordlists for various languages (English, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Spanish, Italian)
- Created a multilanguage subsystem for all CLI tools
- Added transaction auto-splitting
- Massively improved payment ID scanning
- Added support for OpenAlias
- Created and implemented a scheme for address + payment ID serialisation
- Created and implemented a scheme for stealthed payment IDs
- Implemented a cryptographically secure DNS seeding system
- Implemented a cryptographically secure distributed checkpoint referencing system
- Moved from in-RAM database to a backend-agnostic blockchain database
- Created an LMDB blockchainDB implementation (with the help of Howard Chu, the creator of LMDB)
- Created a BerkeleyDB blockchainDB implementation
- Created an OS-agnostic raw blockchain format
- Built tools to convert between blockchain implementations, as well as import and export them
- Added support for FreeBSD, 32-bit Windows, 32-bit Linux, ARM v6, ARM v7 (and above)
- Added QoS (bandwidth control) to the wire protocol
- Implemented a proper background forking (daemonising) mechanism that supports Unix forking and Windows services
- Added a core crypto implementation based on SUPERCOP ref10
- Switched to a triangular distribution for output selection
- Created a "trusted daemon" system for remote daemon use


Both will probably be non-existent in a few years. If by some chance Monero survives it will find its use as a privacy-centric currency / store of value, not as an investment vehicle. The non-fixed emission (to maintain mining incentives ad infinitum) means that it will never have the same scarcity as Bitcoin, but I think it's already been demonstrated that scarcity in altcoin distribution is wholly overrated.

Kudos to @boolberry. Very impressive with good support from @language. One of the more spectacular matches I have ever seen.

If we are doing a rematch with colors reversed, I'd volunteer to play black, this time with Team XMR.

Yes I agree. Monero at this point is very much like Bitcoin in late 2010 / early 2011. Helix is laying the foundation for a lot more exciting things with Monero.

I prefer Be4+ followed by Ra2

I just asked Shapeshift to support boolberry and aeon. Let them know if you agree it is a good idea.
