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

[smooth]

And besides, now that the official Missives are BACK! Do we really need two things on a monday? So I'll gradually shift the Digest / Week in Review to a different broadcast day of the week. What do people want?

You should plan it so you'll have time to get it done, but the earlier the better because it is less delay to the people who have trouble with spoken English and rely on written form or a translation.

Gotcha. I was thinking about the whole spoken vs. written thing re: missives. I think one way to tackle it is to use github. Someone starts with the first 3-5 minutes (or whenever they crap out), then someone picks up, and eventually it all gets pieced together. And then translated. Etc.

of course I have no idea how to use github so there's that. For another night.

I started porting the mp3 through google voice but I need a cleaner method so I will try to cable it up tomorrow and see what craps out.

I think the quality of the voice audio might be a bit too rough for quality transcribe. We bought mics to make it better. Also, knowing now that auto transcribe will happen, we'll keep the music out of the voice. Duh. What was I thinking?

Mac bitmonerod and simplewallet located at: https://downloads.getmonero.org/mac64

return "Illegal instruction: 4" on Mac OS X 10.9.5

If I clone repository from https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero and build myself everything is fine.

Thanks, we'll work on better binary compatibility once we have Gitian working (reproducible builds).

***THANK TO CORE DEVS, MONERO MISSIVES ARE BACK***

https://forum.monero.cc/1/news-and-announcements/161/monday-monero-missives-23-february-23rd-2015

I suppose we should use https://forum.monero.cc to discuss missives instead of bitcointalk. Correct me if I am wrong.

After being gone since last summer (one of the first miners I believe), I recently ran across this thread again and looked into it a little more. I am quite excited to see what kinds of developments you are planning, specifically regarding the MoneroAssets and MoneroTrade "next level research" items.

How many devs are working on this project currently, and are they fulltime? What is the slated release date for some of these new features that are being worked on? I was recently heavily supporting Syscoin, but due to a number of missed deadlines and lack of marketing, I'm taking a step back from them for the time being. Monero seems to have many of the things on the roadmap that caused me to join Syscoin in the first place, so I am thinking that this active community and dev environment may be a better place to put my energy.

Are there any items on the TODO list that need help? I'm a web developer and I'd be happy to help out if I could further a real crypto project in any way.

Seven core team members, 3 academic cryptographers and mathematicians, half-a-dozen deeply involved coders - consider 15. No one is fulltime, most are not even paid at all. No stated release date, by design, although we hinted during the http://dogecoindark.net/radio/ interview at "before the end of 2015" for the GUI wallet (some other things will be released in between, and not only the DB).

Marketing is done slowly because marketing a command line utility with few B2B solutions at present is an exercice in futility. Main marketing for now is word-of-mouth, which is the most realiable way to avoid disappointment (one only makes one first impression).

Also, we are trying to transition to http://forum.monero.cc for this reason:

Bitcointalk is not a good environment if we want serious discussion about Monero. That much should be obvious. At some point we have to start cutting the apron strings and disconnecting from Bitcoin, especially since we share few common goals and no common code. It would be unfair of us to force newcomers interested in Monero to dig through thousands of scamcoin, shill, and troll posts on bitcointalk to find the occasional gem of information.

Additionally, you cannot possibly convince me that people needing help in running and using Monero should all gather in a single thread on a Bitcoin forum?? Nah, we've done our time here, there's no value in maintaining all the Monero threads on Bitcointalk. Anyone here who needs to know about Monero already does know about Monero;)

The 4.5 (!) hours-long interview for Dogecoindark Radio was great but also extenuating. A summary will be available as soon as Rick (from Dogecoindark Radio) edits it (this week-end). Also, once the organisator of CoinFest 2015 have released the video of our talk there, we will publish some additional promotional material.

Thank you for the quick reply. The fact that someone who is heavily involved in the project replied to this post in just an hour or so speaks volumes about the level of engagement of the community. Kudos.

15 people involved heavily? that sounds amazing. I am impressed by the level of involvement in this coin. Consider my purchase long-term.

I will check out http://forum.monero.cc and start posting there as well.

I heard about the monero dev team on dogecoindark radio but I was asleep at the time (EU). A summary or at least archives of the show would be great!

A little question about memory footprint on 0.8.8.6. Is it okay? Or should I move my wallet to linux machine?

I would also like to add this to David Latapie's comment -> https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/people. Basicly a sum up of the people involved in Monero.

A little question about memory footprint on 0.8.8.6. Is it okay? Or should I move my wallet to linux machine?
(snip)

Yes, that looks normal. Classic monero has a big memory footprint (the whole blockchain is in the memory!). There is development to move the blockchain into a database file, which is being heavily tested and developed right now. Indeed, the last leg of the database development is to make it work with windows.

In general though, yes, you should move it to linux due to security concerns, but that won't solve the memory problem AFAIK.

And if you move to linux, you can run the current beta of the database build, if you're adventurous and want to compile things.  

[sellbuy]

how transaction fee is calculated?? i have sended 49XMR, but my balance decreased by 50.5XMR   1.5% fee??
or how can i set fee manually in simplewallet?

Transaction fee is calculated per KB. Monero transactions are larger due to mixin ringsignatures, which is integral to blockchain privacy. If you want a low transaction fee coin with no privacy, this one aint for you.

sorry, didn't seen balance, only unlocked balance
all ok

Any reason for the price increase today?

New missive, great site, great planning.
Also the missive podcast was finally written as text, so others could easier translate and read

Thanks for the answer )) Getting started with compilation and testing on linux certainly takes time, the main concern is "am I having it". However, if someone could suggest a good distro including all required tools while remaining lightweight - that would be appreciated

[Hunyadi]

Monero is starting to feel exciting again. Thanks devs!
