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

[saddambitcoin]

Mac download doesn't work on my notebook.

Be more specific please.

(osx problems)

I could never get the binaries to work on my Mac either. Do this:

Code:

    Ensure Homebrew is installed, it can be found at http://brew.sh
    Add the repository to brew: brew tap sammy007/cryptonight
    Build Monero: brew install --HEAD bitmonero

I'm surrounded, and outnumbered by fools 

Consider researching http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools%27_Day and re-read the Bytecoiner's announcement. Then read again "Get ready for Early-April 2015, probably the first, fools!" word by word, and think. Try.

( facepalm) ahahahaha Thanks for that!!!

( my brief scanning bitcointalk while at work can miss nuance )

Hey guys, what's with this latest rise?  Is it a mystery or was there a clear catalyst?

Check the speculation thread.

P2P pools
With all the updates mentioned above we expect Bytecoin network to significantly increase. P2P pool is a temporary sidechain that implements decentralized pooled mining, which is important for network decentralization. In line with CryptoNote's philosophy it decreases the dependence on large mining pools.

Sidechains, wat?!

Is it true?  Or April Fools?

Some days ago, a speech by Nicolas van Saberhagen was announced by the "Cryptonote Foundation" :



You can see it announced at the official web page of the "International Workshop P2P Financial Systems" here : https://ecurex.com/p2pfisy/assets/files/P2PFISY2015_Program.pdf

The speech was not by Saberhagen (as it was announced by the Cryptonote foundation, it seems a pseudonymous) but by Tomaso Aste ( see http://www.cs.ucl.ac.uk/staff/tomaso_aste/ ), does anybody has information about the contents of the speech or the link between the speecher and Cryptonote ?

Definitely they know what they are doing if they show us what is in the road map.

Just to keep everyone in the loop on this - we introduced a bug in 0.8.8.6 that broke static binaries on some platforms, this is fixed in 0.8.8.7 (RC binaries out soon^tm)

i have a question: if i make many transactions with the same amount and same mixing in a short amount of time, it is still not possible to proof it was me, since we have stealth address, right?

It wasn't Tomaso Aste, he was the Discussant (sort of like a moderator that is supposed to critique the whitepaper / idea). The presentation was given via Skype, nobody could make out what the person was saying, and everyone basically fell asleep in it.

All those transactions will have different ring signatures, may use completely different inputs of varying denominations, and will seemingly go to outputs that are never really "spent". The section on Temporal Association Attacks in MRL-0004 is worth reading.

Thanks, then who gave the speech ? Is there a recorded session ?

hi. guys

my xmr client upgrade from monero.win.x64.v0-8-8-1 to  monero.win.x64.v0-8-8-6

I only have  ccc.keys file, its build on monero.win.x64.v0-8-8-1, ccc bin file had deleted.

---------------
monero.win.x64.v0-8-8-6 bitmonerod.exe is runing

monero.win.x64.v0-8-8-6 wallet got that:

You had been using a deprecated version of the wallet. Your wallet file format is being upgraded now.
Error: failed to load wallet: file not found "ccc"

====

monero.win.x64.v0-8-8-1 wallet, got this:

====

C:\Intel\Logs>simplewallet
bitmonero wallet v0.8.8.1(0.1-g328a52a)
Specify wallet file name (e.g., wallet.bin). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created.
Wallet file name: ccc

Starting refresh...

------------------------------
when ccc bin file sync ok.

C:\Intel\Logs\monero.win.x64.v0-8-8-6>simplewallet
bitmonero wallet v0.8.8.6-release
Specify wallet file name (e.g., wallet.bin). If the wallet doesn't exist, it will be created.
Wallet file name: ccc
password: *****
Error: failed to load wallet: failed to read file "ccc"
-------------------------------------
 
simplewalletv0.8.8.1 can rebuild ccc.bin file,  but v0.8.8.6 didn't
v0.8.8.1 could run, but only get coin, transfer can't do

and what can I do?

Monero one rights coin and secure too

CAN USE FEARLESS

If I request a CAN USE FEARLESS t-shirt to Zazzle for my gangsta outfit in Berlin, will I have it in time?

no surprising re-namings, no fishy optimized miners

Here's the facts: optimized miners, specially secret optimized miners are a reality in all kinds of coins, like specialized mineral mining equipment, the thing is, while you cannot make sure everyone at all times have access to the same amount of hashing power and algo optimization, (and even money to buy coins) you can make sure they are playing on equal grounds, no tampering with emission and making asics virtually impossible of mining the coin, thats the situation we have with Monero. In Bitcoin history individuals had access to optimized miners from the very beginning, coins are dumped and distributed into the market, but this argument is only fair if you do not change the rules of the game aka screwing late adopters forever, thats what crypto is about, any coin that goes away with consensus is no better than FIAT!

I like the non bolded part but your comment in bold is confusing. I mean can you say BTC is no better than governent fiat, yet it holds its value (no huge governmental inflation), has a host of other benefits, etc. Sounds like you are giving us an either or thing here, and it ain't that. It is disruptive and it's affect is not separate from the interconnect system. It's effects will be felt in far reaching ways. (e.g. Blockchain tech.)

As a normal human being I don't find it being screwed to have money that isn't used for war and holds it's value as opposed to being inflated away (e.g. Euro down 30% plus, maybe as high as 37% in a year!) Can it be better? Yea sure, but it seems like a logical (and heartfelt) step to take. It is for the benefit of the planet. Think about that, what Crypto can do here.

Right now BTC, Monero, etc. is just getting started but once there is a foothold you will be square in the middle of a financial revolution but don't worry, it won't go unnoticed.
We basically need something to get us through the coming years of what looks like coming Economic collapse. This might be our best chance guys and gals. We have to take money into our own hands. That is sort of like a government via expression, not one that has power over us via corruption and such.

In the future, when we decide as it is up to us, money won't be a thing of power. But till then, BTC/XMR/Crypto will help destabilize a corrupt system and allow a nice intermediary when we are ready for it.

I'm talking about coins that are instamined and/or got their rules of emission (printing money) changed, and the brand changed many times (BTC/XMR never did that!)

coins are dumped and distributed into the market (dash like to use this argument to play down their emission changes): but this argument is only fair if you do not change the rules of the game aka screwing late adopters forever.

You cant make sure every person in the world has the same tools and capabilities to mine Bitcoin/Monero (same mining equipment and software) but you can make sure the rules are never changed and told upfront (keeping consensus).

oops! Sorry for the confusion. But it felt like an expression for me. LOL

Agreed btw.
