But how will you separate that number from the unknown potential asic's ?

Could you watch as the botnet suddenly comes back online we will see a step back up in unison?

First of all let me be very very clear about this, I am pulling that number straight out of my Ass.

I'm going to assume that there will be a spike when the main botnets get back online so we should be able to differentiate them at that point and the asics should not be able to get on at all so those 2 points should give us a rough idea of which is which and i'm sure there will be some overlap from botnets that react so quickly they won't be in the increase of the majority. So yeah, what you said.

Thanks for your tips. however, I would like to know which advantages that main botnets can bring to Monero networks. thanks in advance for your clues and your suggestions.

Apart of a few side issues. The botnet computers are no different to any others in the network. All securing it and contributing to the hash rate.

My wallet won't sync. Running windows v0.11.1.0. And I had the version before this.  They start with getting 1,000 blocks... then just sits there..for hours. I tried running as administrator ... set_log 4....and nothing seems to work.
It sometimes shows in green I have 12 blocks left. Then it goes back to orange saying 92,000 blocks left and freezes there for a long time.
Any help plz?  Thx

Could you go to the Settings page and press Show status? Subsequently, post the full output here.

This? 5 seconds after I told it to connect to daemon.

EDIT: I'm running the latest version.

Note that the last line is the most recent line. If you press Show status again, is it still on block 1467526?

Here it is after 15 minutes open.

Then it's still syncing properly. I'd advise to simply be patient and wait for the initial sync to complete. Note that catching up thereafter every few days (or every week) only takes insignificant amount of time.

Here's the problem though .. it locks up here and never moves. In fact it goes backwards ... getting the new blocks.

EDIT: In fact I had it open for 8 hours one time and no change.
Now it's doing nothing. It's like it stops listening.

Heard that they integrated stealth addresses into the wallet with the help of a soft fork. It is evident that the work does not stop in the project. Well, I'll follow. Time will tell

Exactly. I don't know why everybody thinks deeponion is anonymous.

For those who don't know, deeponion is a regular crypto that funnels all it's traffic through Tor. You can do that with any crypto (including BTC, XMR, and LTC) so I don't even know why people still use/hype/buy it (other than because of the well done advertising campaigns).

The last few % worth of blocks are quite big and therefore take, relative to the earlier blocks, significantly longer to sync. Thus, it's expected that the last few % worth of blocks takes significantly longer. I'd advise to, if possible, just let it sync overnight whilst you don't have to perform other tasks on your computer.

1. I really haven't gotten the chance to explore yet but are the devs of popular mining software getting a head start on the new algo and have already released or are in the process of releasing appropriate versions in time for the HF?

2. Also, wouldn't the network be in a vulnerable state since there will be a "theoretical" (though not actual) zero network hash rate at some instance during the transition since not every miner will be switching to the new PoW at the same time; more like gradually ramping up towards whatever the highest network hash rate will be?

[1] The PoW tweak is already finalized (and merged). As a result, the mining software devs were able to start working on the new version of their miners.

much more Monero What ever coins are made, means more are aware that Monero is a powerful coin as well as its name could make them cash.

[abdulaziz07]

Bitcoin Gold, Monero Gold, what's next, Litecoin Gold? Beyond ridiculous. Makes projects like Monero seem ever the more precious.

Because they are shills or morons neither of which need to be spamming this thread. And Legendary's doing need to get their trust painted Red. BTW that account had Email just changed so it could be bought.

is monero V hard fork fake?

Fake how? It's easy to fork an open source project. They will almost certainly do the fork and moneroV will be a real thing that exists. Is it a complete and total scam cash grab? Also yes. It is very unlikely that their devs will legitimately innovate, and produce their own novel code and make a thriving healthy project.

[baballuci]

Do you guys predict the difficulty to fall after the hard fork?
