What are these guys saying.  Bits are 0s or 1s, used for all computer data transfer at the raw form.  Chips are a potato snack or something in your CPU which processes bits.

Seals poker chips are pegged to the bitcoin (this is bitcointalk.org folks).  Am I missing something here?

Anyone that has built from source, might want to update to the current repo. Made numberous changes. One of the important changes to the block splitter:

That depends on the bubble. For now, monero seems to be for the geeks only. I don't see the average user install it manually and operating it from a command line. That does not stop the public from trading it, of course.

About the movie, we can start very simply by thinking about few questions around Monero :

 - How did you discover Monero ?

 - What interested you at first ?

 - Why are you supporting it ?

 - What is your contribution on the project ?

 - How do you imagine Monero in 3 years ?

You can add or remove questions. The point is to have something interesting to say on every point.
Having different answers will show the variety of people around the project but also how united people are.

Marketing is just as important as the tech itself in terms of price. A GUI and database memory issue fix won't increase the price, in fact it might do the opposite thanks to "buy on rumour sell on news". I hope you're aware that the high emission of Monero is also really contributing to the lowering price as well.

So who here thinks that the emission rate of Monero should be reduced? (Emission rate = The amount of Monero rewarded to Miners per day)



As far as I can tell there would be two likely outcomes, one positive and one negative:


Positive: solve the issue of overwhelming sell pressure (which would most probably lead to higher/stable prices also less fear and doubt)

Negative: miners would get angry about the mining rewards being lowered

Is it rational to expect the moon though, when only one out of 69 currencies, and now only one out of >545 currencies and a few assets has actually delivered?

Even at the time you started, 1 out of 69 isn't the greatest odds when you're led to believe that everyone is offering only the moon.

Now, at 1 in 545, the chances of offering the moon are much less, if you were to randomly throw money at these things.

When bitcoin started, it offered a cryptocurrency. Investors saw the moon. Chances back then were likely 1 in 1, or even 1 in 5, and the ticket was cheap.

With the complete disregard for the technical offerings of some of these things, and incessant talks about the moon, I have only been left with the thought that everyone here is absolutely irrational. I say irrational, because >99% is basically everyone.

Especially when they're offering, for the most part, something you already have, or think you have, in your bank account .. and tend to think very very little about what it is or where it came from .. just that you need it to live and you need more of it to make more of it.

I mean, there's very few moons out there. Earth has one, Saturn has (62?) moons. So the idea that we're even talking about potentially legitimate alternative cryptocurrencies offering the moon means most of us are on another damn planet in regards to where our heads are at.

With that in mind, I must admit that I likely would have had to pay to be on another planet, as I'm pretty sure I started on earth. so my fee paid is in grabbing a rational amount of just about anything that pokes out of bitcoins shadow and seeing what they did.

I like this one, because the developers were there when I had questions, and have been there when I've had more questions. I'm convinced that they'll continue to be here when I have even more questions. That's important .. that they're here and responsive and helpful, because they've convinced me that they'll likely always be here. That's just as important as innovation, of which they have also provided. Electrum seeds, i2p development, GUI development, core protocol development, seeding a community, there's lists of things that have been provided. Not many of these things were available for the US dollar for a few hundred years, save for seeding a community, so I think we're pretty on track here.

Worst comes to worst, it's just tulips

good things die on cryptsy.

You might be using the wrong one. Mine does in fact show 1.0.6.6 on the about page. Try redownloading it, I updated the OP with the correct link. Thanks for the heads up!

Also I want to point out that in the latest release of the wallet (beta 1.0.6.6), the change is automatically sent to the sending address instead of generating a change address.
