When can pool diggers?

Soon, the dev are now working on the frond end.

[David Latapie]

Please someone message me I want to buy more monero, I will pay on the high end

I don't have any feedback so we can do escrow or whatever the formal sell procedure is

I have a pool set up. As soon as the payments and front end is worked out, I will open it for the public.

It will be CPU only mining pool?

Yes, since CryptoNight is CPU-only (at least currently).

MRO is currently CPU only as far as we know. If you do have a GPU miner or ASIC, I will accept shares and blocks from them also.

What fee will you be charging?

a ring signature coin should employ its mix net to supply ephemeral tunnels so that all transactors disappear into the crowd.

to avoid taint, privacy cannot be optional.  ideally it should be impossible to reuse an address.

monero is technically evolvable to deal with these points.

How would you reuse an address with the current tool chain? I don't think it is possible, certainly not easy.

The one-time address is generated with using a hash that takes a random number as part of its input. That random number can be anything between 1 and a prime number near 2^252. Of course, "random" = pseudorandom, but I don't think it's realistically possible to generate the same key twice. So this feature is already enforced.

Another thing to make privacy mandatory is to force a minimum ambiguity factor, but I don't think that's a good idea. Ring signatures increase block size and most of the time an average user doesn't care about privacy beyond what's already provided by stealth addressing. And sometimes users deliberately want traceable payments.

I do think built-in (optional) I2P/Tor is desirable.

hum...Price seems to be inflated by the fact there is no pools yet. Like Riecoin at launch. Nice coin though.

I'm not sure how useful traceable payments are as a feature in reality, since they are only traceable back to the generated one-time address you mentioned earlier, not the public address. I guess it is possible that could be useful in some way, but I'm not sure how.

I think there may be some merit in a small minimum mix factor (maybe even 1) that doesn't require very large ring signatures but even a small factor produces a high degree of mixing over a sequence of hops (which a mix of zero does not)

When the GUI done, I think more than more people will  interest to this coin
