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

[dEBRUYNE]

We have just updated cryptonic.net. The next step is to start promoting it in Bitcoin world as we have produced some physical Bitcoins as well and accordingly to increase the exposure of Monero.

We'll tweet something out for you tomorrow to raise some awareness and exposure

You should make a thread at the marketplace/goods section and on reddit.com/r/bitcoin.

Also in the image below (if it's still the same):



You should change "create monero address" to "create a Monero address" or "create Monero addresses".

And try to write monero as Monero everywhere, it seems that everywhere on the site it's written with a capital M so it just looks more professional and consistent.

Since this applies to XMR as well -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=93&v=bia50HSf2VM

Pretty impressive in my opinion.

EDIT: It doesn't work with XMR (yet). My first assumption was that it would work with all the avaible coins on shapeshift, but this isn't the case (yet). I asked them if they have any future plans to integrate and why it isn't integrated yet.

For those interested in running bitmonerod on a Raspberry Pi 2, it seems to work now with LMDB.

I don't know why, all I did was sudo apt-get update && upgrade after a period of not using the rpi.

Sync time is still slow, but it seems faster than BDB.

When I tried with LMDB approx two months ago, sync time was >10 days. (I shut down my RPi2 after 10 days.)

Has the ARM code base been updated, so that things are faster now?

I think I spoke too soon because the daemon froze at block 345, now I seem to be having input/output problems with the SD card. Going to try it later with the blockchain stored on a USB drive.

From what I understand, the SD card interface is utter trash; USB can perform much better.

I2P exchange coming soon. We should try to see if they are willing to add XMR.

In addition:

We are in fact ahead of schedule. It looks like we may launch as much as a week early. All the features necessary to launch are complete. We are capable of launching a finished product right now but are doing more security related tests and adjusting the code for margin trading and short sales.  If you would like to view the demo site (hosted on low bandwith server). Demo accounts are funded with sample balances to experiment with our trading platform. The link is: http://fclgyds4otcwiwwlsqh6x3q6x54ws5qapythrtefg2ceyoa5vzsq.b32.i2p

We are planning on offering trading pairs for about 30 coins. Various privacy focused and higher volume coins.

We support optional GPG based 2 factor authentication and encrypted i2pbote email alerts for the most secure and private user experience possible. Its even possible to create GPG based passwordless/usernameless accounts.

I guess XMR will fall into that category.

Is there a compiled list of all XMR services?(Websites, programs, apps, etc)

You can basically add yourself. Unfortunately I am technically capable to do this, but this seems like a nice project to raise some funds for.

Mine also gets stuck at 345. Setting log level to 1 shows that block f75483b9941492ed9b4e23a90143da59002647232310230b17baeebe4f97c3d5, which happens to be block #346 (http://moneroblocks.eu/block/f75483b9941492ed9b4e23a90143da59002647232310230b17baeebe4f97c3d5), is being recognized as orphan and is rejected.

On the other hand, trying to use an up-to-date data.mdb from my Linux Intel 64 bit build, results in the following error:

Code:

Failed to open lmdb environment: Value too large for defined data type

According to this Monero isnt going to be listed. At least at the start.

His reasoning can be found below. Perhaps one of the XMR core devs can inquire further and find a solution:

"The issue with cryptonote coins is that the server must run a node anonymously. Bitcoin based altcoins can be run over tor, monero etc cannot. This increases the risk of demasking."

Run your node inside whonix or another torified VM

If you don't have the technical expertise to set this up, I'd question whether you should be running a "dark" exchange at all..

I am curious as to why Monero cannot be run over Tor? This would imply otherwise https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg6382404#msg6382404. There is advice against running Monero miners over Tor https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg6382578#msg6382578 because of high latency but we are talking about a wallet here.

Edit: Answer above. It can be done.

Correct me if I am wrong. Do you sell real silver coins for Monero & Bitcoin? If so it is not easily understood from your site. You should just write "We do sell real silver (or gold?) pieces of metall for Monero & Bitcoin".

Yes. We do sell real .999 Fine Silver Monero coins. It's clear on the order page but thanks for your feedback. We will think how to make it even more clear.

Thank you. You are right. We will fix it soon and will create the threads.

Yo, thanks for the link. I asked in IRC #monero-dev and nobody really had any experience doing it. I had tried to force it to run via torify and it was giving exceptions that i pasted there. I will try to fuck around with it a bit more when i have time and see what happens.

LMDB still won't work because the LMDB design requires 64 bit. There is an experimental branch of LMDB called VL32 but that is likely never going to be a great option because the developer says "I am philosophically opposed to supporting 32 bit architectures in LMDB." and "Due to the added system calls involved, it is significantly slower" and "Fundamentally, supporting this feature in LMDB is the wrong thing to do." Quotes from http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-technical/201501/msg00127.html

At this point the best approach for 32 bit embedded is going to be BDB, although in the future there might be an even better option (BDB has some issues, but at least the implementation exists). On RPi2 it serves as a nice (successful!) functional test is still likely too slow to ever actually use. Some work has been done to optimize it, mostly by NoodleDoodle.
