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

[othe]

Why do some cryptocurrencies  need a conf file and monero does not.

If ducknote is a cryptonote coin why does it need a conf file while monero does not

Monero supports conf files...but its not needed.

What conf file? I have ducknote installed and I don't see any conf file.

On their website they give an example oh conf file.

I am on phone. Can't link it now.

Remember guys the future battle isn't between some scam coin (XC, Dark) or even a real coin like Litecoin, but the battle will be between the great four (as I have came to call them).

Bitcoin.
Ethereum.
Nxt.
Monero.

I'm still on the lookout for anything else to add to this list.

agree - you can also add the counterparty protcol/xcp

but when you follow the discussion of the bitcoin veterans, monero or cryptonotes in general are the only coins which have a future

Any Crypto Asset protocol free-riding on the BTC blockchain will ultimately fail...
And though XCP is well-designed and looks great... IT'S  A  FREAKING  GHOSTTOWN...
The devs made a BIG strategic mistake = no strategy to attain a critical mass in tx volume...
Ripple made the same mistake, but at least they had decent XRP volume from Day One.

"If we build it they will come"... is not a strategy.

gmaxwell thinks Monero is a shady, sleazy rippoff of the brilliant work by BCN Devs (RIP)...
So opinions are a dime a dozen in this place... everybody is a Bagholder  

And let's not forget PeerCoin + PeerShares (with a testnet wallet working)...
This is the darkhorse because geniuses simplify, simplify, simplify = that's what Sunny does...
Designing vertically integrated PeerCoin/Wallet/Shares could hit that simplicity Sweet Spot...
And be another home run for Mr. King.

Would this explain the orphan rate.

I don't see it, can you be more specific about where it is.

Wow. I can't find it anymore. I saw it yesterday

Those are all defaults so it wouldn't change anything.

Start supporting decentralization!

www.Extremehash.com is giving away another round of 10% mining bonus to support this cause and build more confidence in Monero. Keep the hashes coming this way!

Code:

minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mro.extremehash.com:9999 -u address -p x

Tried it. Hash rate was decent for the pool while I was testing it (roughly 2% of the entire network, i.e. >1 block per hour expected) and got no blocks for many hours. 10% of nothing is nothing. You need to do better to jumpstart it somehow, or fix whatever is wrong with it. For now can't recommend.

Well if decentralization is the thing you guys are after, you should most definitely point your miners to http://kippo.eu, as the hashrate is currently very decentralization-friendly. 
Can't afford any bonuses either.

Oh, I forgot that the internet only has 4 players. It must be the "network effect".

This is no longer a serious discussion...
When Google, Amazon, Apple, the banks start to play Crypto Currency for real...
Nothing coming out of BitcoinTalk will matter.

strong statement. for comparison i think chinese communism started in a shed. apple started in a garage and dell started in a dorm room.

I think there's something to be said for this technology being developed "in a garage", so to speak. It takes the profit motive out of it. If Google created a coin it would surely have an angle that benefited them, removing the altruism and fairness that can be achieved by a healthy community.

I agree with you. No one is in a privileged position here. Yes there are developers but we are all community members who are working on it because we see the potential for the technology and find it personally interesting. It is certainly not a path to riches. So far the people who have made the most money on this coin are most certainly not the developers, but other ambitious community members who have done things like start successful pools, large scale mining, etc.

I don't see the 2.0 crypto as competing in the same class. Ethereum and nxt may compete in some applications, and mro has to displace btc from some of its less appropriate current uses, but really all four of them can work synergistically, each providing its own distinctive functions, to the benefit of all participants in the crypto economy - including each other.


Monero's major competition may be zerocash. Personally I will not be entrusting my life and wealth to anyone saying " trust me", but others may not be so discriminating.

Is there an easy way to export the private keys in a human-readable format?

It depends on whether trust can be built in the system. The social contract of everyone involved in the ceremony when the Zerocash keys are destroyed, and those in the community who understand the technology and can scrutinize the event will determine whether that trust can extend into the general public. But it could happen. If that trust is built, then beyond those faults, Zerocash is probably superior to Monero. I think the deciding factor will be adoption and making people understand Monero's ring signature technology so that when Zerocash comes about, they will be able to fairly compare the two with full understanding. That's why I made the point earlier about trying to expand the market for this coin through Mintpal and other avenues sooner rather than later. It may be too late by the time the wallet is out to compete with other technologies. In the end this coin may end up being the Betamax to Zerocash's VHS if they are not careful.

What I see currently happening, is waning interest due to the price falling, which will cause some miners to lose interest. This will in turn cause the price to fall further as miners are a good portion of the early investors and promoters of a coin in the crypto community. Then the hashrate will fall and the difficulty as well, and a smaller and smaller number of miners will hoard all of the coins in hopes that they will some day be worth money. Then in three or four months, when Darksend is established and in common usage, Darkwallet is out for Bitcoin, Zerocash is being released, Monero will come out with a wallet and the community will be like, "So what, a wallet for this fringe technology that I don't understand." You risk overestimating the mindshare that the ring signature technology will garner. For better or worse, even the best technologies can be swept to the wayside by other technologies that have people promoting them, selling them, and educating people about them.
