Any thoughts, criticisms, or suggestions?
Your principal vulnerabilities stem from your network interface. On your live network host: Disable and in fact remove physically everything that opens a port except for sshd, bitmonerod. iptables should block all but 2 essential ICMP types, your sshd tcp port, DNS udp, and bitmonerod. You want rules to prevent fingerprinting as well. Use a kernel from TAILS. Physically disable bluetooth and IR. I recommend against wifi, in favor of copper ethernet. https://medium.com/message/everything-is-broken-81e5f33a24e1

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a Poisson distribution and he eats at random times independent of one another, at a constant known rate.

Fuck budgets. Fuck deadlines. Devs, I can wait for the new tagged release. OOOOH MIGHTY CORE DEVS, ACCEPT MY OFFERING OF 5 NVIDIA 750 ti's, MAKING THE NETWORK 1.2 kh/s STRONGER. OHHHHHMMMMM.

hey folks. Quick question, I have a few hundred XMR i have in a windows wallet. I can't bring bitmonerod up anymore, it kills my computer, so I need to move it to a linux laptop. What's the best way to migrate a windows simplewallet.bin file from windows unix? delete the bin, and use the .keys file? I'm sorry, it's been a while, but I can't deal with windows anymore so I want to move it to ubuntu laptop asap. Thanks for any tips/help!

The new daemon shouldn't kill your pc; you could try that too.

I don't see any later versions than that, pre-compiled, so that's why I'm going to clone the github and build it.

Importing the seed is essentially identical to copying the keys file. I think the files might be compatible between OSes, but not really sure.

Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes in a few days when this old laptop actually compiles it all hahaha!

... Devs, I can wait for the new tagged release. ...
... but the GNU/Linux nerds who compile their own executables want to keep buying cheap moneroj from those who run Microsoft Windows and use 8 month old tagged executables.

One should bear in mind that the last pull request before releasing the 0.8.8.6 tagged version was #196, whereas we're currently at #365. Of course their are some open issues (e.g. -> https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/issues/360) in between causing a pull request to skip a #, but most of it are genuine pull requests.

What is your favorite Operating System? https://twitter.com/XMRpromotions/status/631234851962630144What is your favorite operating system? I wonder what percentage of Monero users prefer some version of Linux. #xmr #security #linux If we reply and retweet this sort of post maybe we can start attracting linux users who are not yet familiar with monero I will start using the #privacy #security #fungibility #encryption hashtags more when appropriate. We need to broaden our audience I also am sending personal messages to people when they favorite or retweet something in hopes they do so again

Has anyone had any luck with Ipredia? http://www.ipredia.org/if you use ipredia and run a node on it.... do you essentially achieve the same goal as when i2p is integrated into Monero?

It looks promising. Similar to tails right? Has anyone gotten Monero to work in Tails? I keep seeing conflicting reports.

I haven't given it a shot due to the lack of persistence by design... don't know how I'd get a *useful* blockchain there. I guess theoretically you'd just use mymonero? this ipredia thing looks like you can actually install it to HD and use as a standard OS.
