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

[smooth]

Thanks. On your last sentence, I'm not sure if I was clear: the base58 version is above in the code section "Integrated Address". That would be the version you'd actually use. The hex version at the bottom was for explanation only.

Thanks for the clarification, I didn't notice the distinction.

That is great work. I nominate luigi1111 to get part of the bounties for designing this, the rest to go to whoever implements it (could be him of course).

May I please have an 'explain like I'm 30' style summary of the current focus of xmr development? I keep catching snippets of a db system in development but wish to learn more about it pretty please.

Here are some links to study:

Also maybe one of the Monero developers can explain better.

if you checkout the missive podcasts

The ones in 2015. There's a lot of talk about the database.

The original cryptonote code kept all of the blockchain in memory. That works fine and even has some performance advantages but it obviously requires a lot of RAM and an increasing amount as the blockchain gets bigger. We've rewritten that to use a database, the way Bitcoin/Litecoin (and their forks/clones) do. That's a major change and it requires a lot of testing and working out of corner cases before it can be officially released. People are continuing to test it and work out those issues.

There are a number of other fixes and items from the development goals document being worked in parallel, such as anonymity improvements, wallet improvements, smart mining, difficulty retargeting algorithm, etc.

$480 is not an outrageous sum, especially for xmr.in or Monero.in, you can easily make that money by starting an alias service

Your group is more reasonable than some I see but still not worth the premium for no traffic generated and no services/content. Good luck selling them though.

If nobody wants the domains, please consider donating them to the core devs.

Maybe try an auction to find out.

Thank you guys very much

I too have a few domains, including monerocharts.com which I will be letting expire.

if anyone wants dibs let me know and we can arrange it for a reasonable price.

I have moneroaddress.org that I don't plan on selling ever.

In the meantime, is there a reason why Payment IDs can't simply be appended to the address and parsed automatically by the client?

There is no reason. Someone just needs to define a format, implement it, pull request. Done.

I'm not familiar enough with the codebase to do it myself, but if it's a simple task I'll throw 100 xmr to whoever can get it in.

adding 100XMR to that bounty   

Add another 50.

I will throw another 100xmr into the bounty pool.

We should really start a bounty thread on our own forums for this right? That way this stuff doesn't just get buried by Dash trolls( ) or whatever.

I am personally quite pleased to be affiliated with a community which is antipathetic to decietful schemes to rob honest people.  I am also thankful to otoh for his gift to the xmr user community, and hope that there are more embittered holders of concentrated drk positions looking to dump their xmr "hedges" to us. It is a kind of poetic justice.

Someone made a GUI for CryptoNote coins...

Well...
Is CZ coding for the CN crew? He did all his development in OSX.

No, It´s the Bitcoin-QT gui, just adapted, thats neither his style nor would he not even give credit to Bitcoin like they did.

And Blockafett, there are already TONS of gui´s for monero, nfi why you are so obsessed with them tho... Oh even a Web/Mobile wallet - oh wait there´s no Web/Mobile wallet that supports darksend, nor do i think it´s even practical todo, maybe you should invest your time doing one? Because we are clearly already sorted here when it comes to that.

heres another one for xmr.



currently done by antanst.

Very nice!!! I like the design, different to the "weallusethesameBTCwallettsheme"design of almost all other coins!
Keep on going, i like that stuff

I agree. luigi1111 will definitely receive some XMR from me when this is implemented. However, I still pledge 100 XMR to whoever makes it happen.

Anybody knows about https://fairproof.com/     ??

Scam, do not deposit there.
The site has been running for a long time, and I used it once with pocket money, could never get my money back and no response neither from the site contact form nor from the BCT profile here.
Someday the balance just disappeared.

Yes we had them listed as a third party service on the OP for a while, until the (many) scam reports piled up and made it look questionable at best, outright scam at worst. Stay away.

no one living in some vanilla jurisdiction and wants to start a xmr dice/casino service?

btw xmr and me are celebrating first wedding day today - not the easiest marriage but you know what people tell about feisty marriages

agree  I'll send half of my bounty to luigi, if he provides me with an adress.

To answer those who say "Someone made a GUI for CryptoNote coins, GUI problem solved?"
i personally don't see a problem.

today we have at least:
- bitmonerod : official client in command line
- mymonero : unofficial lightweight web client, easy and compatible with official bitmonerod if you need
- MoneroX : unofficial GUI, opensource, working good for several months
- LightWallet : unofficial GUI, opensource, does not require running the bitmonerod local node

usually here come the FUDers/trolls/etc... to say: "oh there isn't an official GUI !"

and yes there isn't an official GUI for now because we don't need it quickly.
the monero core gui will be done according to the roadmap : https://getmonero.org/design-goals/
an overview is available, it's not a bitcoin-qt clone.

...

And if that isn't to your liking, then maybe the Monero Core GUI is more up your alley. You can even compile the code and play around with the GUI (incomplete and not wired up, but fun to play with) - https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core

Here are some screen shots from this century:





...



Best of all, the GUI is native (Qt) and NOT a cheap hack using HTML.

let the world say what it will!

safedice will be offering the possibility to play/invest xmr "soon". can't give you any eta, since I'm not the one coding.

additionally there is still the question how the cold wallet will be handled or better how to proof the reserves claimed (since there is no viewkey implementation yet). I didnt really like the workaround ccd used, so happy to hear any better ideas.

I already have an idea, but it is not perfect given the jurisdiction I'm located at.

Please note: I'm neither running nor owning the site. I was/am just an early investor who convinced the admin to go down the xmr route.
