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

[nioc]

I have been mining for a couple months at backup-pool for monero.  I have noticed that every once in a while someone moves their farm or botnet, etc.(~60+KH) to the pool and it gets really unlucky for finding blocks.  Is is possible that someone is exploiting the pool with some exploit, or is it coincidence?  I have noticed it more than once.  

http://backup-pool.com/monero/#pool_blocks

Well the last 3 blocks were found rather quickly.

CyrptonotePoolUK is a small pool as well and has a stat that shows the block finding luck factor which they call more appropriately "pool variance" with  >100 is worse than expected and <100 is better.  I was over 100 for quite a while being as high as 126 and then went down to the low 90s.  What would you have thought of the variance when it went from 126 to 92?

If you take smooth's suggestion please let us know but I believe you will find it is variance and/or selective memory.

There are 8543 coins in the wallet. I can spend ca.40-50% of my working time. if that is ok, I can start next week.
And I'll check the options from other thread about escrow. We need some options and good escrow system with hedging.

Found it, posted 13h ago.

You guys know what to do.  To the MoneroMobile!

Deploy the swarm!

There is now a monero tipbot in #monero, tippero, kindly hosted by fluffypony.

It is coded from scratch, but works in the same way as typical IRC tipbots. See !help and !commands for more info, how to use it, etc.

If you spot any bug, feel free to ping me.

Is it possible to extend this to reddit/twitter etc.? Would be nice to tip some XMR to newcomers on reddit.

IIRC another 200 XMR has been added to it since this post.

I doubt it, though I don't know enough about reddit/twitter etc to really have an informed opinion.

our pool avg is 96%, there is one guy who leases when the timing is right xmr value up etc, and brings an extra 60khs

its not a botnet as it would be varying in speed, this is FLAT 60k and a reverse on ips etc due diligence showed it's a rent.

i don't think luck is manipulated, but i did see something that influences it , ill test theory in a few days (w/e) and let you know.

we go from 90 to 101% our avg is 96% , i will add stats soon to dashboard , its already there, just needs a publish.

alright that was pretty impressive, I was critical of Atrides in private message, but what else does Monero need? I too have a team of developers, now that the community can make some things worthwhile

Welp, if no one else is gonna suggest things, I'll throw something out there.

I think some kind of web payment / storefront interface would be a winner. Once shapeshift.io gets monero going, I think that we could piggy back on existing bitcoin payment processing to enable businesses to accept monero.

monero -> shapeshift -> bitcoin -> bitpay

of course the goal is to create an easy plug 'n play thing for e-commerce sites to implement.

We're looking into that with some friends. It's very preliminary, not much more to say yet.

I'm loving hearing all these projects starting to get going.  All the donations are draining my wallet LOL.

Has anybody thought about possible hardware based wallets?  I know its early in the development of Monero but a hardware wallet kinda like the Trezor would be so freakin' awesome.  https://www.bitcointrezor.com/.  I guess we'll have to wait for wider adoption of Monero before we can dream that big.

Piggybacking is cheap but it also means that there are more points of failure.

right, but from what I gather, the monero -> fiat requires uber legal work. So right now there's one point of failure - not being able to buy things with monero. Until this effort is taken up with the proper resources, I think piggybacking would be useful / popular in the interim.

I mean, once shapeshift gets monero integrated, we really don't have to make anything - people wanting to use monero to pay for something at a website that uses bitpay would just go to shapeshift and put in the proper addresses.

the point of making the piggyback application would just be to make it easier to use for everyone involved.

Is it confirmed that shapeshift.io is working on Monero integration?

nevermind, im an idiot. shapeshift itself is working on these things

I think I remember reading somewhere that XMR might be integrated sometime in january.

Silkroadreloaded accepting multiple cryptocoin, including DRK.

Using shapeshift perhaps?

Seems to be pretty hated by the DNM people given reuse of Silkroad name.
