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

[newmankind]

are those the txids that bittrex gave you to deposit to?

usually with exchanges, if you want to deposit XMR, they provide a payment ID  (transaction ID, txID) - that way, when the XMR comes in, they know where it should go (I guess).

If you just picked a random txID and sent from polo -> bittrex, bittrex doesn't have that txID, so they don't know what they're looking for.

Have you tried sending those txIDS to bittrex?

thanks for the reply, I have sent those txIDs to bittrex.

What exactly is the relation between https://xmrmonero.com/ and https://forum.monero.cc/? Which one is worth joining?

xmrmonero.com is a MEW project and is not a core team project (that is not to say that we don't support it or contribute to it or whatever).

The only sanctioned, official forum is forum.monero.cc

To expand a bit about MEW for those who may be new, MEW = Monero Economy Workgroup, an open membership group that supports and promotes Monero adoption. Anyone can join. You can find out more on xmrmonero.com or https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=776479.0

Not true, you have to pay to vote which precludes the term open.

Nonsense. Tell that to the women who want to join men only golf clubs. Open means they can - it doesn't mean they get in without paying.

It doesn't matter what the reason might be. Such groups can and do reasonably charge membership dues, which are used to fund the operation and programs of the group. Anyone can join and the minimum membership level is quite accessible.

Someone wants to implement a contract protocol on top of Monero:

Ive designed a very specific technical implementation to add trustless, tradable, contracts on the Cryptonote prototcol.

The whitepaper can be downloaded from Google drive

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B75gaqtEgDR8UHU2UVJ6TkYzMnRkdFFsbklBd3hVMDV1eDQw/view?usp=sharing

I am looking to implement this very soon on one of the existing Cryptonote coins.

Looking for suggestions, criticisms, anything that will facilitate this implementation. Unlike most other suggestions or whitepapers I have the full technical ability and experience to implement these changes. I don't want to deal with the prospect of launching a new coin, nor should I have to as these changes would only improve the features of an existing Cryptonote coin.

Did you vote in the [Poll] What anonymous coin will succeed?. A lot of other coins supporters are voting lately.

kinda cool.... I mean, I think he should n a t u r a l l y  choose to build it on monero, but does he need encouragement?

Woah! Last time I've checked XMR was not doing this great! I'm lovin' it

kinda cool.... I mean, I think he should n a t u r a l l y  choose to build it on monero, but does he need encouragement?

For start, let's ask him gently which coin he has in mind...

[NeuroticFish]

yeah after checking the paper i have the feeling he prefers monero

I just did a quick search and the most important part on this subject is:

I am willing to do the work it takes to implement the above on any given
Cryptonote-based coin, be it ByteCoin, Monero, Boolberry, Dashcoin, etc. I am
willing to be paid in the currency itself since I believe this will greatly increase
its value. Please contact me at the email at the start of this document to discuss
further logistics, payment details, etc.

As usual, nothing comes for free...

free is relative depending on when you mined your xmr...........

free is relative depending on when you mined your xmr...........

... and with what hardware!
I started mining XMR rather early, but only with one (i7) CPU.
Believe me or not, I got more XMR from daytrading than from mining. Now I try to build up something with the income from sig campaigns.

On XMR Network Hashrate Fluctuations and Suspected Botnets:

My thought on the daily fluctuation of the network hashrate is that there is someone or some people that are in control of a large number of nodes, be it a commercial and/or educational and/or governmental organization(s), and these nodes are typically only powered on during normal business hours. 
So, while there is a rumor of it being due to botnets, I do not necessarily believe that it can all be attributed to traditional zombiefied nodes spread throughout a large geographic region.
Rather, it could be business machines whose administrator(s) are keen to utilize their nodes for mining.

I can see this being the case, when I was in college last year, I noticed that every single computer I sat at had the folding app, set to fold on idle. It was very neat to see.

Could also be the exact opposite, where they are set up to mine outside of normal hours.

Very true, depending on time zone.

Or someone could have a solar powered mining equipment!!!!!! would explain the daily fluctuations and the varying magnitude (10 Mh -> 12 Mh -> 20 Mh). 20 is a realllly sunny day!

I'd love to find a way to investigate this botnet thing. Rationally, if it was a botnet, it would mine to a pool. But that would also be true of swoops hypothesis. However, swoop proposes a large number of "nodes", which would suggest individual full nodes that are solo-mining.

Regardless, the only thing that we could observe would be either a large increase in # of active nodes during the times of network hash increase.
Or an increase in the hashrate of a particular pool during times of network hashrate.

In either case, could be caused by botnet or "large number of nodes".

Exactly. That's what I was saying. You have to pay to join MEW to exclude votes from the enemies of XMR.

It doesn't matter what the reason might be. Such groups can and do reasonably charge membership dues, which are used to fund the operation and programs of the group. Anyone can join and the minimum membership level is quite accessible.

I'm not talking membership fee's. I thought each vote can be bought. Am I wrong? I thought I read that.

Not exactly. Yes it is like an equity share model where people with more shares get more votes, but you can't buy individual votes on a particular issue.
