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

[Shrikez]

XMR should be at LiteBit.eu (https://www.litebit.eu/), they sell altcoins for FIAT currency (USD, Euro, Pounds).
It's a legal and registered company in the Netherlands.

Two or three people should contact them today (contact field & email) ask friendly. And then we see what they respond and how we can work on this.

I wrote them a little piece, thanks for the information.

I have yet to receive an answer from them. Maybe more people need to give it a shot.

Thanks for the new missives guys!

Database....is it true?

OK, database is one thing but this is what truly counts for me:

3. Not everything needs to be in a blockchain, and not everything can be decentralised with our current level of technological advancement. The Monero core team won't crowbar decentralisation into everything unecessarily, especially when it has potentially disastrous results.

Man, we've been talking for years about it for BTC. In my way of thinking, XMR seems to gain a rightful position of the most "user friendly" dev team. Great job!

"Initial DB merge is about a week away."

Does this mean windows binaries for the Drooling Masses©?

[David Latapie]

Does this mean windows binaries for the Drooling Masses©?

Yes and no.
Yes, because DB will be simple to implement for mainstream machines (Windows), even (God forbids) Win XP.
No, because Drooling Masses wants Dat Fucking Official GUI wallet.
(and re-no because Drooling Masses don't even get Bitcoin yet but that's another story)

Centralized like a mesh network.

Its so cool. You can enter your mymonero account using only the first 3 words of your 13 words list. For instance :

nanny inquest nimbly amused because inwardly ambush lipstick rage bailed umbrella howls ambush

Type :

nan inq nim amu bec inw amb lip rag bal umb how amb

And it will work ! You can even use this trick to make up your own story so you remember the words more easily.

Not all languages have a unique prefix of 3, though:)

Listen to the missive and you will understand. fluffypony is talking about tippero a service that is built on top of Monero.

We are moving away from Bitcointalk.

We have been "moving away from Bitcointalk" since Oct '14?   

Can we take this out?  If it hasn't happened yet, it ain't gonna.

Note the use of progressive tense. Notice that announcements are not published here, for instance.

I did note the progressive tense, hence the phrase "since Oct '14."

Announcements are most certainly published here, albeit not initially.

Despite that, 66% of the discussion takes place here, 33% on IRC, and 1% on Reddit or the Official Forum (whatever/where ever that is this month).

You claim the progressive tense, but without any actual progress to justify that use.  

Pumping the Potemkin forum with exclusive announcements, only to be met there with silence, emphasizes my point.

[Anon136]

Is it true that the devs have no plan to develop an "official" gui? I think i remember reading that some where or hearing someone say something to this effect but i don't remember where.

No, they are developing an official GUI.

See here for a road map of development goals: http://getmonero.org/design-goals/

hey thanks for that link

[GingerAle]

good job on the missive guys!!

thanks! I think next time I'll go a little bit lighter on the "remove silence" filter. It reduces the total time of the podcat, but can make the speech a little robotic.

Its really funny what it does to laughter

Pacific Red Snapper
Fish Slap

I am hoping to support the Monero Economy by offering to be slapped silly with a fish.

Currently seeking escrow.  EDIT: fluffypony has offered escrow service

I would also like to donate 10% 100% of the total collected, less fish expenses [roughly $15 per whole fish], to the Monero General Development Fund.
