Hello,
...
I 100% agree, and that is COMPLETELY not acceptable. Our aim was to open it up to different designers on 99designs to get a solid feel, not to cheat anyone. Currently my favourite design is still one in the thread. Let me say this to ensure absolute clarity: if you submitted a design in the logo design thread and it is the one we choose you will receive the 300 MRO and not a penny less.This is sensible - the higher of the two $500 or 300 MRO at the time of choosing. The reason for moving is that the MRO price went up so much that you could increase the number of submission well above that in a forum contest for the same price. If you can beat out that many artists instead of just the few that happened to see the forum post, you deserve it.
No, I think the main problem is that the contest thread promised a reward denominated in MRO, and now it's been changed to be worth less money, expanded to a larger audience, and pushed further back. The bait-and-switch tactic has definitely left a bad taste in many mouths.
It's actually worth the roughly same amount of money and about 4x more money than when most people made their submissions. "Expanded to a larger audience" is exactly correct - that was the point. A forum contest should be cheap because it's relatively noncompetitive. If the payout is to be large, it makes sense to use a venue that has way more submissions. This included a change from MRO to USD for all the non-crypto artists, and I thought even those from this forum would prefer that to protect the value from volatility. I guess not - paying out in MRO is fine if it's the higher value at the time. |

gmaxwell is one of Bitcoin's most important core devs, so this is not FUD or ignorance. He is a genuine expert. In the altcoin space, a pre-announced launch on this forum is considered 'fair', but it's likely you'd miss it if you only follow Bitcoin communication channels.
Some context is needed. gmaxwell is among those who believes altcoins have little reason to exist (there are many fair reasons to think that, and it's flat-out true for most altcoins). So he likely sees Bytecoin as a testbed for innovation from which Bitcoin can learn, but doesn't care for the ultimate fate of it as a separate currency.
From this perspective, Monero is ruining the party by doing a fair launch and overtaking Bytecoin is usage because Bytecoin devs might now lose interest because their coin isn't getting used. From our community's perspective, it's worth trying to make CryptoNote succeed on its own and only a publicly launched one has the legitimacy required to succeed.
The point about the emission curve is a fair one. Several of us including me wanted to change but the community as a whole didn't like it. It's not a huge deal -- after all Bitcoin has implanted an idea in our heads for how a coin "should" distribute over time, but there's no fundamental theoretical backing. Thanks for this quality post. |

what do you guys think about Boolberry (previously HoneyPenny) ? It is supposed to be launched on April but somehow it was delayed till now.
I believe this delay make BOOLB losing a lot of opportunity. Monero is getting all attention now.

what's your hash rate ? and solo mining or pool ? You can estimate your earning by typing !calc <your_hash_rate> on #monero channel. |

can you provide your command ? better upload a picture and censor your address. Proper command: transfer <mix> <address> <amount> [payment_id] payment ID is not neccessary unless you're depositing to exchange. |

I'll check whether it was a copy paste error and report you back |

Same here. Running an I7 2600 and an FX 4300. Making between 20-25 h/s on a pool. (Low hashrate cause I can't use all cores) What are my expected earnings (Monero) in 24 hours? |

I followed this guide: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=613072.0No pools except http://monero.crypto-pool.fr/ allowed me to connect I mined all night with 1kh/s, not even 0.000001 in my wallet Wallet loads proper when I run bitmonerod.exe and try to refresh wallet i get Error: refresh failed: daemon is busy. Please try later. Blocks received: 0 Could someone please help me get this working? I don't know why the other pools give me errors when connecting and the crypto-pool doesn't. |

The formula is your hash rate times the block reward (currently a bit under 17) times 86400 divided by the difficulty (currently 96 million) |

At 1kh seriously consider solo mining. You will average about one block per day. The pools have all sorts of software and deployment issues. |

I think you mistaken 1 H/s to 1 KH/s. The hash rate showed on miner is in H/s. |

People from the Darkcoin thread need to stfu. I'm a huge darkcoin holder and I'm loving this competition. Our competition isn't Libertycoin or Dreamcoin shitcoins trying to integrate anonimity to get pumped, it's real innovation like Monero/Zerocash (although zerocash is coming out in 3 to 6 months as tweeted). When you underestimate the competition, you get fucked in the ass before you know it, so show some respect guys and keep it civil. Good luck with further development, and although the logo contest was a shit move, you're getting some interesting design work for your 500$ on 99 designs.

I'd like to thank eduffield and the other developers for this critically important evolution in virtual currency. DarkCoin is what bitcoin should have been. Some might call it "Bitcoin 2.0" but would do better by saying: "DarkCoin is digital cash." - Child Harold - February 28, 2014 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5424980#msg5424980 |

I confused 100h/s as 1kh/s instead of 1,000h/s What I need help on is the other things mentioned, if you can help with those then that would actually be appreciated |

This is normal. It meas you aren't yet synced with the latest block (top block). You should wait until it says "SYNCHRONIZED OK" until refreshing the wallet. If you want you can view blocks as they're added by typing set_log 1 |
