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

[Bamsed]

And meanwhile, need to recognize that XMR well grew in price over the past few days. We must assume that the growth will continue for some time. I very much hope so, at least.

Is the price rise related to the change of PoW again?

it seems to me that the coin will continue to grow, while the market as a whole is positive. because the coin itself is very promising

Here is the latest version of Tony Monero app last version (0.9.4) http://tonymonero.com/download/611/

As you know Google has decided to remove all applications allowing to mine from a smartphone.

With this link you can directly download the APK TonyMonero on your smartphone and which will allow you to mine XMR directly from your smartphone.

[go mine it!]

Dear miners, just to let you know that we have opened Monero pool just today! Come and check it out!

Look out for bisq, shapeshift and changelly

I read that Changelly requires KYC sometimes, which is a big
disadvantage for me. I´ll go with Binance now, because the 2 BTC
limit for unverified accounts is still available and that is enough for me.

Buying XMR at an exchange that does KYC kind of defeats the purpose
of using a private cryptocurrency like Monero in the first place.

Try this.

That should be good.

Is that a legit USD on/off ramp for Monero w/o the KYC hassle?? Never knew of this site before..

Most nodes will run in dual mode with both Kovri and a regular IP. People who want can go full stealth (network monitoring can only tell that you are using i2p, not that you are running Monero or anything else through it) will be able to run only Kovri, but there are tradeoffs and most people don't need that. Also, anyone wanting full stealth probably currently probably uses at least a VPN and/or Tor, etc. and won't be on that map now. So the map won't change much.

I heard Kovri is forking from the I2P network and will only carry Monero traffic. So, identifying a Kovri user can tell a surveilling party that there's a high chance the user is running Monero, isn't it?

Does Monero have a light wallet for linux somewhere (not Android or iPhone pls) ? Likes Electrum or so ?

Kovri is essentially i2p rewritten in C++ 
Are you saying I have to run Monero to run Kovri?

Hello!
We added to our pool a crypto currency Monero(XMR) for mining: http://pool.baikalmine.com/en/xmr/

Min. pay  - 0.05 XMR
Pool fee   - 0.5 %

 Thank you!:)

I believe with Kovri that map will vanish. But again someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Wouldn’t this create the “optional privacy” problem that Zcash and other coins have? If you have the option to turn on full stealth it would single out those who are, right?

You can connect to a remote node with the regular wallet.

I would not have thought so until I heard about the fork from Java I2P and now I think it would, good point. It should probably be mandatory as well as a straight I2P C++ release for non Monero nodes.

I've been waiting on Anonimals announcement he promised before defcon in order to speculate but have not seen anything on it yet.

Maybe if more people show some interest he would release whats he is proposing?

Yes i think so too, but if you basically use the same protocol as i2p, the network doesn't know you are using it for Monero. What's the real tradeoff?

I think he's talking about the proposed fork of the C++ Korvi I2P as opposed to the Java based I2P. They would not communicate and therefore the Korvi nodes would all be Monero nodes.

You can either connect the official GUI to a remote node or use one of the wallets listed here:

Yes, i know, but the protocol stays the same

I've just read in the news that MEGA chrome extension is compromised and can steal Monero, among other things like your Google, Amazon, Github,.. passwords.
