[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

Okay, merge mining is now a clusterfuck because people are voting for it if they grab the source from github without even know it.

Sigh.

TFT already said he's going to change that. Hopefully he does that in such a way that the people who have already grabbed it don't count as votes without knowing about it.

Where?  Config looked like this:

Code:

#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MAJOR_VERSION                     1
#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MINOR_VERSION                     0

Now it looks like this:

Code:

#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MAJOR_VERSION                     1
#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MINOR_VERSION                     1

That doesn't actually do anything though. It all depends how the votes are counted.

Given the change already made, I'd suggest disregarding anything with a 0 or 1, and only count votes with a version number of 2, and not put 2 in there unless the miner explicitly does it.

- if you want "merged mining" in Bitmonero you have to update yout mining daemon now. New mining daemon will issue blocks with an incremented minor_version field. In case > 75% of blocks mined will have an incremented minor_version we will accept "merged minng" and new code will be published on git.

Which means that he's counting them as yes votes if you have

Code:

#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MINOR_VERSION                     1

I think this coin is pretty interesting.  Will mine it.

Mining instructions on front page have been change so that by default you do NOT support merged mining.

To NOT support merge mining, make sure your source code is on the same version with:

Code:

git checkout 0fd82c910b8e4cbf0b3940d6e42f2e992287582d

To support merge mining, change your source code to master with

Code:

git checkout master

Merge mining...hhmm... seems to be very interesting and indeed good idea to mine both coins at the same time!

Excuse me, is there daemon for Linux? I can't find it on github

Yes; https://github.com/bitmonero-project/bitmonero

This is the same fork as Bitmonero, the community voted to change the name to Monero but I guess TFT is still bumping his old thread.

Not sure what the issue is; if you can generate a wallet and sync the chain though, you can start mining in the daemon to your address directly though with the following command:
start_mining <address> <number_of_threads>

This seems to work partially: the load average is only 1.00 and it should be equal to the number of threads ( 8 ). After 5 minutes nothing has changed.

set_log 1 in daemon
likely you are not synchronized and it is validating headers

TFT continues to do whatever he wants? Why am I not surprised?

Is there demand for an OSX wallet?

Is there demand for an OSX wallet?

Yes there is always a demand for an OSX wallet





BTW i am getting more blocks than i was getting yesterday? Has diff gone down or am i lucky?

You were right. It is now working. Thanks!

Great project! Thanks!
I was thinking about Bytecoin but it's too late.
I'm in!
Wish you luck!

TFT has said he will add an explicit voting option, and that votes before it is added won't count:

That's right. Results will be calculated starting from the moment an explicit voting option will be provided.

Why Monero and not Bitmonero? The latter makes more sense?
