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

[David Latapie]

There are very few sites accepting XMR. Other than exchanges https://www.cryptocoins-dice.com/ is the only one I know about.

I started on the offcial MEW website a list of Monero-accepting merchants and services, both online and offline.

https://xmrmonero.com/forum/en/monero-accepted-here

I will later make a webpage out of it, I just need some time (and the publication queue is already several day long). If a merchant or service you know is not present, please leave a comment.

In the future I imagine there will be coin control features in wallets so you would be able to say "just move these coins"

If we start to worry about particular coin, then it means fungibility is not as good as expected. I'm not saying coin control is bad (I'm a big fan of it on a different crypto), just that the need for it is symptomatic of a shortcoming on the fungibility of Monero.

How do you generate a Payment ID with simple wallet?  Or can you?

I imported the missives on xmrmonero.com. This allowed me to validate the tagging system.

They are also present in the news sections - news differs from blogs in that the latter is for random monero-related news by MEW members, whilst the former is more official.

On other news: 1000 pages is a milestone! 20K posts and probably among the highest signal-to-noise ratio.

Go Monero!

I don't know if Aste has anything to do with them. For the sake of his otherwise good (as far as I know) reputation, I hope not.

I guess we're going to find out on the 30th.  Better have the hot air popper loaded and ready for action!

Anybody here attending P2PFISY?  We may have some suggestions for Saberhagen's CryptoNote v2.0 Q&A...  

Has anyone offered a bounty for a vid of this saberhagen guys' speech? anyone here able to attend? this shit just got real!

As far as I can there will be no one named Saberhagen or whatever at this conference.  Tomaso Aste will discuss the paper bearing that name.  The cryptonote website slightly misrepresents the truth saying

"On January 30th the inspirer and one of the creators of the CryptoNote open-source technology and cryptocurrency platform Nicolas van Saberhagen is to take a stand at P2P Financial Systems International Workshop in Frankfurt, Germany."

there.

So i registered monero.gr domain and since i had nothing to do with it i thought i should make MoneroLinks, a wiki page with all the bookmarks i had and some i searched afterwards...It is far from complete.

Now i guess this is already obsolete since we have https://xmrmonero.com and a wiki but even if someone finds something he didnt know or if it helps him save 5min well it worth the time spent. Feel free to copy paste anything! In any case i gained a lot since i think i just doubled my html, apache,mediawiki and domain/dns registering skills  (yeah i am noob)

My small token for monero's 1000th page!

P.S. yeah i probably need a logo for MoneroLinks

We should link xmrmonero.com on  monero.cc and in the first post of this thread. No one will find it otherwise. Everything gets buried in this 1000 page thread.

What are some marketplaces that accept monero? Supposedly you are working with i2p. There are sites accepting XMR now? I dont know how to use i2p yet so havent checked.

There are very few sites accepting XMR. Other than exchanges https://www.cryptocoins-dice.com/ is the only one I know about.

i2p is not integrated yet.

Now physical Moneros and Bitcoins can be also purchased for XMR at:

How is the distribution of XMR now comparable to 6 months ago, what are the holdings for the top 100 addresses?

1. The anonymity works well enough that it isn't possible to answer that question

2. Richlists are a scam. Credit kazuki49: http://pastebin.com/S7aKCDgy

You could also just simply forward monero.gr to xmrmonero.com, just a suggestion. If people from Greece land on the monero.gr site they will instantly be directed to a site full of content (maybe someone could even translate some of the content of xmrmonero to greek).

Has anyone offered a bounty for a vid of this saberhagen guys' speech? anyone here able to attend? this shit just got real!

There is a bounty of $50 in Bitcoin or XMR which was offered in private, to people (trusted realiable Bitcoiners) how will attend 100% (because already payed hotel, conference and flight).

Also on Monday: organizer (Ecurex and Bundesbank) will be called (by me) and asked if the workshop/conference will be video/audio recorded.

If anyone want's to go, we have a discount code of 50% for the reg fees. PM me.

Does anybody know if there is an Android wallet in the works?

Not sure about android wallet, but you can always use https://mymonero.com, it has adaptive markup so that it look great on mobile devices.
