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

[explorer]

We . . . might team up with some guys here to build the first Monero ATM

Have you seen http://planet-capital.com/ ? Looks like they are planning to support trading multiple crypto-currencies. Perhaps you could collaborate and add XMR support to their platform.

XMR atm would be awesome!  I'll never see one here in the middle of nowhere, but we can dream!

I think the GUI argument is pretty weak, especially if you need one, there are a few out there (albeit, not official).

Most people using Bitcoin do not use the official GUI. They use Electrum, Multibit, Mycelium, Breadwallet, Blockchain.info, Coinbase, Circle, and I'm probably forgetting some. These are all third party product which demonstrate the strength of the Bitcoin ecosystem.

We have a bit of an ecosystem of our own here. We have MoneroX, LightWallet, MyMonero and a bunch of others.

Words!

Stop writing words, release a GUI. It really is that simple. No GUI means no GUI. Release a GUI, and there is a GUI. Not simple enough?

For today I can confirm there is a working DB implementation. It just does not exist. Officially. Which is pretty weak advertising to be honest. Your product has favors above competition. Crippling on purpose?

I think you are welcome to contribute to the GUI code (or testing it and reporting bugs).

There is no "official" anything. This is not a company and we do not have an almighty dictator to make "official" decisions. This is a community project and it's up to you to contribute.

What he said. You want an official GUI (or anything else) on a different schedule, implement one or pay someone to implement one and then do this: https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/

That's funny, it sure looks to me like it does exist in the Official Github Repo: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/tree/master/src/blockchain_db

Have you contributed to helping to test it, or anything else, e-coinomist?

It should be pretty self-explanatory, if you log onto freenode #tippero channel and type '!help'. I think '!book' should bring up the active books, and then '!bet amount outcome' or something should place the bet, however...it seems tippero is offline at the moment...

[bclcjunkie]

+1 smooth... unfortunately crypto world is filled with people like e-coinomist who display classic example of parasitism.. a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host..

@e-coinomist either do something productive towards xmr or just stfu, simple as that...

@Johnny he is right, and wrong on this. Indeed no company, but nevertheless something next best thing to beeing official. Like a download link at the head of the Announcement Thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg6382239#msg6382239

@smooth "implement one or pay someone" is doable, but futile. So many have done before, did not made it into beeing "the official GUI" and never will. I was most impressed by some AutoIt scripted variant, works only on Windows desktop, a niche solution. Would personally prefer a HTML wallet sitting on top of Kozi's PHP interface, connecting to the official binaries. Visions of a hardware device carrying that, think Trezor, nudging you. Display on top of case for communicating one time passwords. This could be a community project 

"anything else", just beeing in the progress of tackling this "but no GUI" discussion, trying to strangle that easier to fight a hydra.
Smooth, your thoughts on "Electrum, Multibit, Mycelium, Breadwallet, Blockchain.info, Coinbase, Circle, and I'm probably forgetting some." are spot on and missing the core argument at the same moment. There is no GUI! People been used to see a version number like 0.8.x on their official Bitcoin wallet. A first preview release version 0.1alpha of the soon to come official Monero GUI, featuring an ability to see your payment address and pasting that into clipboard for easy entry into exchanger withdrawal requests ... could get "there is no GUI" to a grinding halt immediately.

There is no other solution than releasing something official.

PS: Beagleboard xM ... would only cost a quarter from that of a PandaBoard, but features only half of RAM ... depends upon the display connectivity. Case should be cheap 3D printed plastic at first. Open design for hardware, OS, software, casing. First inofficial hardware wallet, that tingles in my ears

Oh good then.



Coded by a .... 16 year old?

And I've just made it official! How? The power of awesome. Gingeropolous's official Windows Monero GUI with LMDB - now fortified with Vitamin D!

As you said, a niche solution. Code something that is cross platform and well-integrated and then create a pull request. Or pay someone to do it. Voila, official GUI. Mission Accomplished.

Remember when the database build was going to be merged into production last January?

I don't know what "production" means, but this:

git clone https://www.github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git

will get you the database build.

and considering this:

git clone https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git

is the command to get bitcoin, I'd assume that means production?

Have you donated to the core devs or contributed code to the github?

No?  Then why are you complaining about a free, open-source piece of software's production schedule?

The LMDB build works great, even on Windows:



2014 called and wants its FUD back.

Yep it seems to be dead. None of the commands do anything. Who is running the tippero bot?

MoneroMoo runs it, you could send him a PM on here or at IRC. Bot seems to be offline indeed.

you don't know that

and because it is late


so what is the bug or concern preventing this from being the main download from the main website on all platforms?

[iCEBREAKER]

you don't know that

I know that bitmonerod is running on my Windows laptop and taking up only about 60MB of memory.

I think the blockchain converters haven't been tested enough / there's still some minor bugs there. I guess the devs don't want to release it and then everyone rebuild the blockchain from the network. There are various LMDB blockchain downloads available from members of the community though, if peeps are willing to trust them.

so if you have a in-memory blockchain and want to test the blockchain export -> import or blockchain converter functions, please do!!!
