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

Also posted in the MRO trading thread but it seems kinda dead. Looking to make a large batch purchase of monero. Any sellers contact me by PM.

Hmm why don't you go to exchanges ?

That's what the exchanges are for:)

New to Monero -- does this project have a multiplatform GUI client in the making?

Hi instacash, the Qt GUI farthest along is this one: https://github.com/Neozaru/bitmonero-qt

I don't think he wants to disturb the market value.

Guess may be a question of the wallet, before we can normal business

Can't give payment id

Too much dust in your wallet (from pool mining?) so it takes many outputs to construct such a specific amount (4.14318). The maximum block size grows over time but right now you can get around it by sending multiple smaller transactions. Play around with numbers to see what works.

Shitty volume on the markets. Trivial amounts. Useless for a serious purchase.

Plenty of buy orders though

Just place that huge buy order on poloniex.  All at once.

Sure thing buddy.

I promise I'll sell all my XMR into it.

Any paper wallets for Monero?

Any paper wallets for Monero?

Just dump the .keys file with a hex dump program (for example hd on linux) and print that out. They are only 289 bytes.

I'd like to point out what I think is a scalability issue that has been bothering me for some days. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

The current implementation of the daemon loads and keeps the entire blockchain in memory, thus consuming quite a lot of RAM (more than 700MB for me), an amount that keeps increasing as the blockchain grows. This issue is also present in Bytecoin's implementation (and all of its forks, actually) where it's getting really annoying. I think it's a waste of resources, and many modest machines (like cheap virtual servers) will soon be unable to run it well. Yeah, one could use swap space and to keep it running but it gets really inefficient.

I'm not aware if this issue has been pointed out by someone else, please let me know if it has been discussed previously. I'd like to know whether this is being dealt with and how.

The boolberry devs are working on storing the blockchain in a database so it won't be stored entirely in RAM.

It isn't just a "waste of resources" since there is also a benefit to storing the chain in RAM. You get more much faster and lower latency access to the chain for verification purposes. RAM databases are actually a thing now.

Scalability yes. But that being a pressing issue is a long way off.

A minimum subsidy may be implemented in the future with <1% inflation to preserve mining incentives.

I'm a little scared of this to be honest.

Can you guys make up your mind about it?

Is it going to be a % or a fixed amount of coins?

I doubt you can attract investors if something like this is not clearly defined.

I doubt you can attract investors if something like this is not clearly defined.

I could make exactly the opposite argument. Namely that you won't attract investors effectively if something is too inflexibly defined before the long term effects of that rigid decision are understood. Sure BTC is doing okay, but really nobody knows what the hell is going to happen when the rewards run out. In fact every somewhat credible analysis I've seen suggests it will be bad.

As an investor, I'd rather see some flexibility retained until a system that is clearly workable is invented, rigorously scrutinized, and well-tested in the real world. That hasn't happened yet.

If you really want a 100% fixed or 100% locked-in supply then this coin is not for you.

Does anyone know if the BBR or MRO GUI wallet is closer to release?

Wait a sec... XMR?  What happened to MRO?

XMR is now the "official" symbol. MRO is still widely used.

Are you living under a rock, Mr. Serious?

There are only about 3,000 BTC of Monero in existence... and daily Polo volume is > 150 BTC.

Actually, my apologies...
I didn't realize Bitcoin's "official" logo was "industrial orange" and "dark slate"...
Always thought it was the much more stylish Gold one.

Carry on.

Devs, I can't download binary wallets due to monero.cc IP address blocked from Russia. We have Putin's firewall occasionally blocking some good site because on it's IPs were located some anti-putin websites.
