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

[generalizethis]

Just right now many of the people are distracted with football and other crap our society considers "important".

If you gamble, you hardly need society to tell you that football's important  

But yeah, most people don't care until the problem is right in front of them--so count yourself lucky that you got the foresight gene.  

I don't think its a foresight gene. Normal people have a bias towards believing things that are convenient and disbelieving things that are inconvenient. People like us have some sort of resistance towards that particular bias. If anything, that is what our gene is I think. I my self have never been more or less inclined to believe something just because it was convenient or inconvenient. I credit that more than anything with getting to where I am today.

Personalities are determined by genes and some personalities are more apt to think in theoretical terms and be able to visualize problems before they happen and solutions before they are needed. At least if you trust Briggs-Meyers testing, which I do. Now we're off-topic. Is there an off-topic gene

yes and it's killing us who have invested in the bankroll!  

Edit. Then again, that's dice!

I have divested my funds at the time, went into loss

It's just variance.. If you can't handle the swings you shouldn't invest at all in my opinion.

Need help with formatting Monero RPC commands, I'm referring to the documentation here:
https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/developer-guides/wallet-rpc

My data looks like this, I'm getting "invalid params" when I try to transfer XMR from the wallet.

I know the RPC wallet is working as I can do "getbalance" or any other methods that don't require params just fine. Any help is appreciated!

Edit: Solved! I forgot to format the destination amount in atomic units! Duh. 

Code:

var options = {
    url: host,
    headers: {
        accept: 'application/json',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: {
        jsonrpc: '2.0',
        id: '0',
        method: 'transfer',
        params: {
            destinations: [{amount: 0.1, address: xmrAddress }],
            mixin: 3,
            unlock_time: 0,
            payment_id: "2cdffc96d0f285fa9de2cf4ceb1b150d6b662caa252527305e6cc2ac7c0dd4fe"
        }
    },
    json: true
};

I wanted to raise some awareness for a task that is still open, namely expanding the Moneropedia entries on the Monero website.

https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/347/expand-moneropedia-entries-on-the-monero-website

This is quite an important task, since it will help a lot of newcomers.

If you are think you are capable to do this, please just pitch for it and ask a reasonable amount of funding. I am quite sure people are willing to fund this if the proposed price is reasonable.

P.S. Ginger's thread needs funding as well -> https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2355/improved-nvidia-mining-software

I may invest when the userbase grows some more, its around 100 i think if the id's start from 0

There should be a Monerodice thread in the altcoin service ann section to reach a higher user base, discuss the service and so on.
You should also think about a live chat or something like that, now they can just stare on some numbers, thats most likely not enough motivation to stay there long enough.
You want them people to stay and keep gambling.

[1] After a bit of discussion it was agreed upon that it would be better to postpone that until the new binaries are out. Bear in mind, this will also attract a lot of newcomers to Monero itself, so we've got to make the first expierence as pleasant as we can and I rather do that with 0.9 than 0.8.8.6 to be honest.

[2] There is a chat, just click on show advanced interface when you land on https://monerodice.net/

Furthermore, I think fluffypony or rznag said that the site will update automatically soon, it was on their to-do list.

P.S If you guys have some advice for the site, just state it in the chat and the devs (fluffypony & rznag) will most likely look at it.

Should be the opposite imo. Chat != advanced, especially given its role in answering questions from new visitors.

Oh ok my fault, but imho the advanced interface should be by default.

I posted the following on the Monero forum..............



I'll start the ball rolling with a modest contribution of 15 XMR.

This is a start on an important aspect of Monero as it will enable new users to understand as well as use Monero. We need new users and I believe they will start coming once the new release happens "very soon". So the timing is right, right now!

Anybody willing to get fish slapped is OK by me.

Another help request, if anyone can offer it.

I want to block incoming traffic to port 18082 on my server except for requests from the localhost.

I thought this would work, but its dropping all requests even from the same server. Huh?

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18082 -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18082 -j DROP

swap the order?

Perhaps...

Adjust the src ip to the full localhost range.  And use CIDR notation.
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18082 -s 127.0.0.0/8 -j ACCEPT

And add another line to reference your ethernet IP as well:
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18082 -s 192.168.0.100/32 -j ACCEPT

(192.168.0.100 is just a placeholder.  Put in your real address.  You can dig that up with "ip addr" or "ifconfig")

You could also allow your entire local subnet by changing the 192.168.0.100/32 to 192.168.0.0/24 .  Again, the IP is dependent on what your local DHCP server hands out.  You might be on 192.168.1.x instead.  Or something wildly different.

Code:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18082 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18082 -s 127.0.0.1 -j ACCEPT

I could be wrong, but I think iptables processes the rules in order.  So the DROP will match first and not progress to the ACCEPT.
