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

[Globb0]

Surely encrypted messaging is provocative of the wrong kind of attention.

Does anyone else find websites like this: https://www.walletexplorer.com creep as hell?

Yes, but for the most part, it's fairly accurate (and interesting) from what I've seen so far.

For example, I once loaned someone a small bit of coin here, and two days later, i saw they spent it at a casino after they told me it would not be used for gambling.  

It just goes to prove that bitcoin is far from anon, and underscores why we absolutely need monero to succeed.

Edit - It's also interesting to use to watch people run exit scams and to see them dump coins on like 20 DNMs, 30 casinos, and multiple exchanges to launder the funds. I can't recall what address I ran this on that was so interesting, maybe it was the evo exit scam address, or maybe scrypt.cc hot wallet, sorry, it's been a while.

How to get Monero available at btc-e?

tweet them, open support tickets, email etc

Monero needs to be easier for exchanges to add.  Polo and Bter have shown it's not impossible, but BTC-e only supports Bitcoin forks.

Perhaps they will never add XMR, because they are too busy just coping with the coins/volume they already have or whatever.

Fine, we'll make our own BTC-e (with blackjack and hookers).  XMR-e.

the issue is connecting the wallet to the network anonymously. i tried transparent proxies as suggested by elrippo however that does not work because it blocks i2p

In addition to polo and bter, bittrex also supports it, along with hitbtc (not recommended), shapeshift, xmr.to. In the past Kozi's defunct exchange.to and mintpal did, and probably at least one or two other smaller/defunct exchanges.

So clearly isn't impossible or even necessarily that difficult. Exchanges that want to do it, can do it. Of course, that takes nothing away from making it easier to do.

My suggestion is to find a fixed set of stable nodes. (The seed nodes run by the project are okay but if you don't want to be tied to just those nodes you can find your own list.) Then set up local proxies to those node addresses and set up the monero node to connect to your local proxies using --add-exclusive-node and --hide-my-port

You will have to periodically review your list of nodes and if they become unstable replace them.

that sounds like a lot of work. has there been any progress with i2p integration?

A lot of work seems exaggerated. I could probably do this in 15-30 minutes if I were a bit more familiar with the proxy tools.

The C++ i2p looked to be coming along but not stable enough to integrate, if I recall correctly what fluffypony said the last time he looked at it. That was a while ago though, so perhaps it is closer now. No specific target has been set for it though, I think the main push now is to get the database release tagged.

ok ill check it out.

that being said, it would be nice if there were some docs for connecting over tor i could look at, this being the premium privacy coin.

yes however there is an issue with getting vnc to work on the server

lololololol and you sound like a honeypot

most private coin (XMR) on the most KYC-nuts exchange (polo), most private exchange[1] without the most private coin

[1] still not sure about your i2p exchange, ip protection is the most weak-ass of them all, I could just go to a cybercafe or use a random open wifi and make my XMR transaction that cannot be tracked or linked, or use an exchange on i2p network that btw is not perfect nor much better than TOR (just less used) to trade Bitcoin-clones.

it's a weird world.

On the other hand if it were a honeypot I wouldn't care about having my server located and this issue would be mote.

 I guess some line of though similar to "our coin is the best so, if your not using it you must be a fraud." The difference between ExchangeD.i2p is that you don't have to submit an id to use it, and we dont report to the govt or LE. If you dont mind giving your ID to use financial services good for you. I care, and so i build a service for people like me that are bothered by it. Of course your free do to trade on poloniex all you want. Not knocking your dream, just pointing out that financial regulation is a real thing and it is now impacting the cryptocoin community in a negative way.

Im interested in providing a service to the monero community that, at the moment does not exist. Im here looking for some guidance on how to do that. if you dont like it you dont have to use it.

I guess I don't really care, there is a fine line between not having anything to hide and not wanting gov or anyone else lurking through your stuff.

Good luck with your exchange, with or without XMR on it.

Thanks for the update on that important front.

Once i2p is done, I'd like to help foment creation of Monero Appliances, using BSD on open source hardware.

I'd buy one or two, especially if it some of the profit went to the core devs.

ProxyHam vanished?  OK, let's build BankBoxes instead...

Interesting post by smooth on another thread, thanks to the last optimizations Monero can actually get near VISA-levels of TPS:

Speaking of block size...what's Monero's capacity in terms of txs per second?

Monero has a very scalable block size solution. It is "adaptive" as it changes with the amount of information going through the Monero network.

Okay, thanks. I'd prefer a number, but what you wrote will do.

What he said was right. There is no hard limit in the protocol. Noodle Doodle's recent benchmarks on an i7-2600K show 2.5 ms average tx verification time (per core) so that would max out at 1600 tx/second.

Usage at that level would require a lot of bandwidth and CPUs slower than a 2011 quad core desktop would not be able to keep up and would need to drop off.
