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

[HardwarePal]

I think people should read a few of these from the start to finish then decide if XMR-Monero is a good investement:

Theres one more link if someone can post about the Collaboration Code Review from Github on all the fixes and tweaks to the code

That is just off the top of my head, we all know that Cryptonote coins are fairly young and there will be issues but nothing imo that is worrying.

Haters going to hate ..

Bitmonerod is maxing out my upstream bandwidth (800kbps).  Is there a way to limit this?

Between abysmal English writing skills and blind fanaticism I doubt it isn’t obvious to anyone what these guys are trying to achieve so hard. All in all, I don’t believe this abjection is worth the $500 those greedy bastards paid me, so here I submit to your court a list of the serfs who were under my submission, trying to impose a genuine interest in a lousy fork under my vigilant eye:

surfer43

Are you saying I am your sock puppet? 

Did the same pumpers who hired you the first time pay you to write this because they're now dumping?

Oh hi there, Dave! Or is it Carol who's posting today? How's your payment this month?

[uvt9]

I'll buy in when it hits .002 or lower. That's pretty much inevitable with this inflation.

Hey Darkcoin bag holder, how about your Monero buy order at 0.001 

I'd consider a few BTC worth at .001. It'll be there soon with this inflation.

I said or lower. Monero has a few fundamental problems, but it's still (a distant) second best. According to Anonymint CN coins are DOA, but like I said, it's a hedge.

I not really understand what you say but why do you include me?  I make few posts.  So what?  You seem to have problem.  Maybe you need seek some treatment.

You do realize that the price was 0.002 when you said you'll buy at 0.001, right ?

[Brilliantrocket]

I'd rather pay .01 once I know the bloat is fixed, than .001 when it's still unknown whether it can be solved.
Anonymint said it cannot, but I'll keep watching. Either way, once it drops I'll reassess the situation. I'm not just referring to the pool bloat, but the denomination bloat. Refer to Anonymint's post history.

yor sir, failed miserabely

smooth is one of the core devs of this project, pretty sure code won't get coded by some sort of PR company stuff and surfer43 operated for a long time the biggest pool. And a pool doesn't get maintained alone.

Just a lesson, if you want to troll in the future, you sholdn't use a new sockpuppet account and also you should, maybe, just maybe, inform yourself

[cAPSLOCK]

Perhaps I am too new to the altcoin universe but the level of actual FUD recently is fascinating to me.  There seems to be a few folks intent on damaging this projects reputation as much as possible and through some of the most outlandish means I could imagine.  The twitter account was fairly left field for example.

Do other alts get similar attention?

This is soft FUD in the altcoin world

Its actually the thread with the least fud.  Well until now anyway... :p

FUD increases with market cap, I've found. More value means more envy.

So it's Dave, after all. Couldn't possibly mix you up with anyone else. Do you mind answering my previous question? Did they finally raise your rate? I'm just wondering what keeps you doing this.

Bloat is the price for anonimity in terms of cryptonote algorithm. Itself, is not so a big problem, I believe devs reduce it to reasonable level. The most problem is I have to restart bitmonerod time to time, it still buggy & uses 'boost'. Devs are working on replacing it by 'leveldb'. With leveldb terabytes are not a problem. Also, terabyte SSDs are coming to the market.

So I think, the only issue is for Monero devs to work on bugs, work accurately and subsequently, like a fluffy pony

New commit pushed that limits max block size to 196.6 kb.

Block propagation @ 1 min is dubious past that block size even with SHA256D, so we should be careful to build blocks large than that.

We also have other stuff that needs testing if you're adventurous:

Transaction splitting (no more "tx too big errors")
https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero

Wallet operates without RPC presence and new RPC semantics:

Code:

wallet RPC converted to use new transaction semantics

wallet RPC now uses wallet2::create_transactions and wallet2::commit_tx instead
of wallet2::transfer.  This made it possible to add the RPC call /transfer_split, which
will split transactions automatically if they are too large.  The old call to
/transfer will return an error stating to use /transfer_split if multiple
transactions are needed to fulfill the request.

Massive amount of fixes for RPC and wallet stability and serialization:
https://github.com/mikezackles/bitmonero/tree/daemonize

Wrapper for wallet functions
https://github.com/Neozaru/bitmonero/tree/wallet_wrapper

Lots more in the pipeline that's soon to be merged to master, stay tuned.
