Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

"I heard even Obama saying that NSA must be put under scrutiny and things exposed!  So if he supports Snowden, how about arranging a (Congressional) Medal of Honor, since this guy has really done more to liberty than any one of those who fought in the bankster wars?" Obama politically distancing himself from the NSA is not Obama supporting Snowden. Snowden is lucky if he'll get a pardon in the next couple election cycles; even Feinstein (D,Cali) was calling Snowden's acts treasonous. If a ranking liberal in one of the more liberal states who wields a huge amount of political power isn't ready to come off the "He's a traitor!" soapbox, then it's unlikely he'll get any favors unless there's a huge shift in public opinion by either Democrats or Republicans (probably both would be needed now), one of the parties is overhauled (Libertarians become the Conservative base/Anarchists the Liberal base--maybe, someday), or moderate voters see his leaks in a different light. It would take a huge bombshell to shake the "Not sure how I feel about that guy," apathy that surrounds moderate voter's opinions about Snowden. Doesn't matter what you know or feel; politics is about the perception of a reality and who can sell that reality best--this is why so many politicians are lawyers. It goes both ways. More than half of the young (<50) Americans think what Snowden did was needed. Anyone in the politics opposing Snowden is going against the public opinion and tarnishing his own reputation. The louder you cry that Snowden must be burned, the less you are trusted, and the more obvious it is to all that you only live out of the scraps the system feeds you to keep you a functioning Senator. I should stop. And I will. Any political post by me in this thread earns the exposer an immediate 20 XMR, and if it is questionable whether the post was political, final arbiter is ArticMine. |

First item here: https://bittrex.com/newsAzure maintenance in progress, wallets will peroidically become unavailabe.
As previously announced, we are in an Azure maintenance window. Wallets will go offline for short periods (30-45min). No issues with Monero itself. Apologies... I assumed that Azure was a 'coin', not part of the trading platform... my bad.. thanks! Yeah but it's been offline since yesterday.. not the 30-40 mins as with other coins (my bitcoin wallet went offline briefly too) Anyway.. i think i'm reassured, no problem with Monero itself.. should be back online later. |
The next 24 hours are critical!

Somehow this thread transformed into a political debate. Not anyone cares about the USD/XMR rate anymore?  Monero (XMR) Speculation thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.0Edit: Accidentally posted the old thread link. Fixed. |

There is a niche on the altcoin market for totally anonymous coin, and a niche for Litecoin replacement, as a back-up coin to Bitcoin. Monero is the most conceptually right solution for both of that niches. Really, all other altcoins on the market are just baby toys, except some of Cryptonote family. Monero is now leading coin of Cryptonote family. |

Is there a XMR blockexplorer? I believe I have done a thorough check of online resource, but cannot find a link to a XMR blockexplorer.
Thanks!

Reading articles about Monero I found a term POW. And i didn't find any more info about it than "proven value creation". What does it mean?

Inspiring list of Monero advantages! More than enough reasons to be involved. |

It is the opposite. A proof that value is LOST. Others explain better  |

If I need to verify a transaction what I should do? Is there the blockchain.info equivalent for XMR?

A proof of work is a piece of data which was difficult (costly, time-consuming) to produce so as to satisfy certain requirements. It must be trivial to check whether data satisfies said requirements. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Proof_of_workLike rpietila said, it is also proof that value (in form of computational power) is lost Thanks! Now it's clear. My respect for the active and friendly Monero community |

You can't look up transactions by address. If I'm right you will need the txid to look it up |
