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

[Hueristic]

Welp I think I'm done mining, Killed 3 gpu's in 2 weeks. Mostly my own idiocy! Last one was when I was working on a 7950 and unplugged R9 bus cable and it got got jarred right up to the mobo fan connector. :rolleyes:

Nice fireworks when I booted.

I will save other people from looking it up. It's a POS coin. It's what you'd expect.

You mean I shouldn't trust a guy named Mrpumperitis?  I think my faith in humanity is dashed.

Nobody replied to my previous comment and whether it can be reasonably implemented:

Can/would it be possible to be able to append the payment ID to the send address, so the sender doesn't have to remember to include it?

So if my XMR address is "myaddress" I can simply give out myaddressCustomer1, myaddressCustomer2, etc, and when someone sends money to those addresses it will automatically use the additional characters as the payment ID.

That would make the issue of Payment ID the responsibility of the receiver/vendor/merchant and not the sender.

Why buy a $hitcoin like Monero when there's good quality code like NXT?

Well, If you talk about buying, I believe anyone would buy a coin hoping to make a profit . On the other hand if you talk about using and supporting, well... clearly we, Monero supporters, believe that privacy is important, and AFAIK no ther coin beats Monero on that matter right now.

EDIT to add: Also because of the quality of the dev team and the community.

Distribution doesn't have to be perfect, but it has to be reasonable. NXT's absolutely horrid distribution of 1billion coins to under 80 *people* makes it almost worthless in my book. NXT is more like a platform than a currency anyway, to which things like Bitshares or Ethereum outclasses it in regardless.

*people*= NXT had no sockpuppet screening, so we can infer that there were sockpuppet accounts

The only three projects i have really been involved in is bitcoin, nxt, and monero. I was very active in the nxt community, if you were than you probably recognize me. This is not a fair characterization and not a reasonable dichotomy. Both are really great projects that deliver serious utility and really stand apart from the crowd. Perhaps instead of trying to fight against monero in favor of your pet project, you should own a little of both. I still own a pretty substantial amount of nxt and now i own a pretty substantial amount of monero too.

I whole heatedly agree with the concerns about nxt's initial distribution problem, in fact they understate the problem because many of the bitcoins used to purchase stake could have been the dev sending bitcoins back to himself. But if you understand what nxt accomplished, how revolutionary its consensus mechanism is, you cant help but be enamored with the project despite its glaring flaws.

So when are we getting that shiny db

It is around the corner. 

strange... i am using monero with lmdb for weeks... ?

Oh, the database that requires 6Gb of RAM?  Not much of a DB.  Come on DEV's to tie up that much RAM is criminal.

Quality of the dev team and the community is better than most coins.

I'm not even sure "fix" is the right word. As far as I can tell it just involves a lot of guessing. Sometimes you guess right, sometimes wrong. Using some of the methods we've already published (and will be addressed) you can improve your odds of guessing somewhat, but it still comes down to a guess, and there is no way for you or anyone else to know you got it right. It seems a lot of the guesses are terribly inaccurate too. Fluffypony said he had to run through 21 transactions to find even one they got right. Although I haven't seen the details of that test, it sounds pretty worthless to me based on that.

I see no reason to go all Chicken Little about any of it.

Lol smooth, its all going to 0 as you said.

Abandon ship...

 

If he's abandoning, the ship just got a lot more pleasant at least. Bon Voyage.

You, captain Schettino, abandoned ship long ago, during the mintpal pump.

Yup, both nice trades. The first one was better of course (so far).

I wonder why that even bothers you? Oh that's right, because you are a miserable troll who compulsively insults and criticizes people. Got it.

I thought developers are hodlers, well I guess not. You're just trying to make a quick buck...
