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

[Hueristic]

I'd suggest linking them all of our whitepapers listed here:

https://lab.getmonero.org/

In addition, the cryptonote whitepaper + the review by MRL:

https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

https://downloads.getmonero.org/whitepaper_review.pdf

Finally, you could send them this list:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/46gfgv/list_of_prominent_bitcoin_people_that_spoke/

That shows that at least some of the people on the list have looked at the code and/or whitepaper.

PS. It seems like you got a different reply than the standard one reported by other community members here.

Yes it looks like a move in the right direction, thanks for collecting the links I'll reply with them.

I would recommend everyone else does as well.


ADDED:

OK, here is a letter I've compiled for Kraken with Debruyne's provided information. What changes would you guys recommend?

It has come to my attention that the reasoning behind not providing a Monero pairing (ticker - XMR) is that you feel the code would have to be vetted which will take resources you do not currently possess. I would suggest that this is indeed not needed in this case. I premise this view by presenting you with the formal actors whose credentials I think we can agree on are beyond reproach.

The Monero Research Lab

The Core Team forms an integral part of the Monero Research Lab, but the researchers, scientists, and academics that are primarily focused on Monero research are listed below. They have chosen to remain pseudonymous for the moment. They are:

    Surae Noether: Lead researcher for the Monero Research Lab, Surae holds a PhD in Mathematical Sciences and brings a rich understanding of cryptography and homological algebra to the mix.

    Shen Noether: A graduate student focused on algebraic geometry, it is Shen's command and knowledge of cryptography that lends itself so well to his involvement in the Monero Research Lab. Shen is also responsible for finding and showing proof of concept that SDC (Shadowcoin) is indeed not anonymous. He did this by pointing out what was wrong with their logic and when they were unable to understand his results and accused him of lies he revealed the SDC entire blockchain.

Sarang Noether: Having completed his Masters in Mathematical Sciences, Sarang is currently completing his doctoral degree in Physics, while devoting time on the side to the advancement of Monero research.

Supporting arguments can all be found in these links including Prominent members of BTC's Developers.

https://lab.getmonero.org/

In addition, the cryptonote whitepaper + the review by MRL:

https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

https://downloads.getmonero.org/whitepaper_review.pdf

And this is not even touching on the programming team whom I am sure you will also find beyond competent. The list is far too long you can easily find it on github.

So I decided to email Kraken with the same request.  Please add Monero to your exchange.  I'll probably get the same form mail back in my inbox.  But let the pressure on them build.

I will email them too

Any chance of fixing the getmonero.org forum to become more usable? I'm talking about adding pagination in the forum threads. The current "infinite scroll" mode, in addition with the scrolling speed override (why?) makes it really difficult to use it for me (and I'm guessing for others as well).

Edit: I'd swear that I encountered some weird scrolling issues on some pages, but now I don't after a couple of refreshes. Maybe I'm wrong about the scrolling override, perhaps something was wrong with my Firefox.

@Hueristic, that mail looks fine. Perhaps add the link to the contributors to it?

I guess you could create a github issue on the Monero so people could take a look at it:

• Added tx_seckey storage support to firmware
• Added support for 'address' simplewallet command
• Fixed support for entering passwords when trezor is initialized/recovered with password protection enabled

https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/2495/experimental-trezor-firmware-testing

Please, if possible, help with testing!

I just installed the firmware and I'm currently synchronizing. Everything smooth so far. NoodleDoodle has done some excellent work

well I can't read code that well, but based on the activity of the developer on the github, im guessing months.

To be fair, the commits he makes are usually pretty big (i.e. many lines of code added). See this last one for instance:

https://github.com/mbg033/bitmonero/compare/b486fb482d...ad96cd3f24

Or this one:

https://github.com/mbg033/monero-core/compare/921d16a458...7d9306ca1a

Furthermore, once his other project finishes he is able to spend twice as much time per week on it.


@r0ach:

There is someone actively working on the GUI, see:

His work and the activity can be followed on:

Looks good.  However I'd get ride of the text saying "how it was meant to be"   Just leave digital cash part.   I think that way people that don't know monero will be like what?   I need to know more about Monero.

Good work though.

Wow, looks like fluffy already claimed it.    
 
I know me and g discussed this previously, but he said it would take months of work to build!  Not a few weeks.... guess he got inspired.  Anyway, I may 'commission' one of these myself soon - I'm a little jealous that Ric got the first.  If you know someone semi-tech savvy, who is interested in Monero, this is the best way for them to acquire some (assuming you don't feel comfortable recommending they buy off an exchange)- its a win-win-win for everyone.

This *did* take months to build what you and I discussed was a much more powerful mining box. The monerodo is very low hash power (this base model maxes out at 280 h/s). What we were talking about was mining rigs!!!, on the order of kh/s.

What would you suggest I cut out? And it's Hueristic, remember in grade school it's I before E except after C and U before E when referring to me. I ain't no algorithm.

I don't quite understand why you chose that CPU? Very nice build by the way.

like i said i cant read code that well so im just shootin from the hip and my estimate wasnt intended as slight.

mobo/cpu - its embedded - really was just using it as a gpu operator. i have a low end amd board. the cpu does 11 h/s.  and the celeron uses less power i think

Not really a speculation topic: I would like to encourage anyone with coins on an exchange to place smallish bid ladders on both sides of the book.  Liquidity is important for growth of the transactional market.  If you use small orders and only a small part of your supply, and update your orders frequently, the risks are small and gains are reasonably consistent.  Discussion of the speculative aspects should be referred to the speculation thread.  I'm just throwing this up as an encouragement to those who want to help the economy mature.
