Everytime someone posts in this thread asking when it's coming Stunna pushes it back by another week.
How long is a week?  |

Now we just need the price to go back up.
Why is the order book on Poloniex stuffed with sell orders of 50-100 HYP?
I´m pretty sure the answer is ¨someone is manipulating the price,¨but I thought I´d ask anyway.
Selling "at market" is a stupid plan. I'd like everyone reading this to read that again. Hell, I'll repeat it. Selling "at market" is a stupid plan. If everyone who has a sell order up would take it down RIGHT NOW and relist at 2K satoshis or higher, do you really think no one would buy?
I didn't sell any here (yet), but decided to start this moving if I can. I set up a trade on polo for 2000, at 2k sats. Anyone want to match??? Makes no sense. 1) this will increase the total number of coins for sale which people took at while trading even though it's not near market price. 2) being not anywhere near market price it's not selling anytime soon. 3) why not stake the 2000 thereby getting more HYP and securing the network while reducing the supply for sale? Somebody has a sell order for over 20K HYP @8880 sats.  |

David, since your concern is the security of the network I imagine you have a minimum diff as a target. With that parameter you can then play with the others.

Anyone taken credit for the 49 XBT bid on XMR at .001111? Have not been able to monitor IRC or trollbox. Saw it last night and its been around since then.
A whale wanna buy a lot, nice  After 2 earlier ~12 btc chunks where dumped a 22 btc chunk was just eaten leaving 6 btc left of the original 50 btc wall. Some existing bids were moved up in front of that wall so there is currently not much behind it. Probably not much left to sell also.................. Make that 1.8 btc left @ .00111111 ETA: and it's gone |

I finally moved the majority of my coins off of Polo and into my wallets. I am now less of an idiot.  I then sent some coins to a MyMonero account that I am giving as a gift to somebody. I sent them the story and info via snail mail. |

I believe it was said that games and rounds won't be included in your post count. One question that hasn't been asked. Will posts in the PrimeDice thread count? |

And now 4 giga fucking byte is considered short...
Valid point, but I'd just say that at 4 GB you are pretty close to a critical point where even a small increase would have a disproportionately large benefit. The blockchain on disk is currently 3.2 GB. I don't know how that translates directly to in-RAM usage but I guess it might be slightly higher (or at least higher including other code, other applications, etc.). So you are right on the cusp of it being able to fit in RAM with a bit left over for I/O buffers and not being able to fit (i.e. swapping). 6 GB would probably be much faster than 4 GB and 2 GB is definitely much slower (I've tested it). Summary: I recommend 6+ GB for best performance currently, 2+ GB for a bare minimum (with questionable at best performance). 4 GB is in between. I have not upgraded RAM because we are getting the new DB soon®. Is it correct to assume that 4GB will be sufficient for good performance with the new DB? |

Anyway, I have been really busy lately, whatever has come out of the discussion to change the mining rate of Monero?
IMO there doesn't seem to be consensus in the community and being that a vote hasn't taken place is indicative of that. There is not support within the core team for changing the emission. I would be ok with any outcome. I came for the privacy and stayed because of the core team and the community. |

SSD? I am still running a magnetic hdd.
Magnetic HDD should be about the same speed as SSD for this (sequential writing), sometimes faster. Slow blockchain save is almost always due to not enough RAM, which results in a lot of swapping. PROVE IT. The current blockchain file is 3.2 gb. Writing that out in 60 seconds is 53 mb per second which isn't even breaking a sweat for an old HDD. Most HDDs can handle 100-200 mb/sec easy. Even a slow external drive over USB (where USB itself is the bottleneck) can pull off 30 mb/sec or a bit more. That saves the blockchain in 100 seconds. Anything slower than that is not the disk speed. I bet you 20 XMR that my same machine writes the blockchain at least 1.5x faster when I install http://www.amazon.com/Silicon-Power-120GB-Toggle-Internal/dp/B009GG06GC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1418430951&sr=8-2&keywords=silicon+power+s70&pebp=1418430950059On a particular machine, sure. For example, if you are swapping lot, that will indeed happen on lot faster on a SSD, so it will speed up, but the underlying cause of the bigger slow down is the lack of RAM. People were talking about many minutes to an hour for a save. That is not pushing the limits of any HDD sequential speed, at all. Yes I have only 4GB RAM which seems to be an issue but when saving the blockchain my task manager says my HDD is maxed @ 100% which is 8 MB/s. No I did't forget a digit.  This is what I get for buying the second cheapest Dell comp in April. |

So how will the password for today's DoD free roll be announced?
Or will it become a public tourney once the start time is closer?
What are the maximum number of players allowed?
? Probably but when? Maybe 1hr? Listed as 540. |

Does the wallet need to stay open 24/7 to accrue PoS interest?
No, both the weight and potential stake increase both before and after the block has matured even if the wallet is closed or locked. As you know a block wont actually stake until it has matured and the wallet is unlocked. |

Upgraded to 0.8.8.6 and when exiting the daemon, well it just doesn't. It gives the proper messages as to what it is doing but the blockchain doesn't get stored. The second time I exited I came back over an our later and I had to just close it.
I just tried again and same thing. This time I checked to see if the HDD was active as if it was writing and it was for the entire time.

If the hard disk is active then it is likely saving but just taking a very long time. You are probably a bit short of RAM. I synced the daemon just before I updated and it worked. Update. I tried again last night and it worked. I don't know how long it took as I feel asleep for a bit over an hour. RAM usage during writing to disk totaled 75%, I have 4GB. Hopefully not too long from now I will once again have a real computer. It will of course have a SSD. How much space will the blockchain need now, in a year, in 3 years? |

FYI it was just confirmed in the Poloniex trollbox that the withdrawal fee for XMR will remain unchanged at 0.1

^^^^^^^^^Really? I don't really know anything about the campaign specifics but I'll let you know when I get it / I'm sure Stunna will update us all fairly soon.
No, not really, but I'm sure he'll update me when he's ready. I'm as eager to find out details as much as everyone else is.

Since side chains are now an inevitability, a Monero clone is a likely early candidate because it is mined and offers anonymity.
As I understand it using something like Monero via a side chain compromises your privacy to a certain extent. Sorry for the lack of detail as I don't have links handy to where it was discussed. The future will unfold  I never know what or when my next meal is  |

A frustrating aspect of bitcoin is that there is essentially no data about the "bitcoin economy". Every indicator that we would need to predict the price and evaluate its investment potential is hidden by the anonymity and globality of the protocol and by the private and unregulated character of the companies. There are practically no public audits, market statistics, open policies, ...
Sounds like derivatives to me. What's in this black box? It's AA rated, trust me. 2007 |

Monero is junk.
Just another scamcoin that tried to ride the anon coins fad like CLOAK, CRYPT, RZR and similar fails/outright scams.
If you think that with putting money in Monero you made a great investment be ready to watch all your funds go out the window (as it probably, partially, already happened).
Behind the gimmicky anon features, it's basically a clone of BTC. it has the same fundamental issues.
So:
If BTC survives, a real functioning anon feature will be implemented in BTC (DarkWallet is being developed...) --> Monero will be obsolete
If BTC dies because the world doesn't want what it has to offer for whatever reason --> Monero will be obsolete
Not trolling. Just saying what I think because money is at stake.
Saying what you think as opposed to saying what you know? It's not a clone of btc but has a different code. 99% of alt coins are btc clones. Some "anon" coins are indeed gimmicky, Monero is not. See what Mr Maxwell has to say. Privacy features will not be implemented in btc but will be added on top of as per your example. Monero has more and better privacy features than can be gotten with dark wallet. Privacy is inherent in Monero now with no need to do anything. There is more to Monero besides privacy. It is much easier to make a privacy coin have a transparent option if you choose to do so than it is to make a transparent coin a private one. I don't believe privacy is a fad. How can privacy be a fad? I guess to some extent in the alt coin world anon is/was a fad. What I believe differentiates Monero is the intent of the developers. They are not trying to cash in on a fad but instead are building something that is needed. The devs are doing so with a goal, a plan and competence. What will the future bring? |
