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

[binaryFate]

I feel that Monero development is going slow last months. And community remains same size.

Did you do anything to help one or the other, beyond "feeling"?

This was posted about 7 months ago.. has any development happened on this front? Can we set up a donation goal to get this going? Would be more then willing to donate some BTC to have some serious focus on this....

As the dev team, by way of fluffypony, has explained ad nauseam (because the question has surfaced THAT many times), there is stuff that needs to be done before they even think of picking it up again. See https://getmonero.org/design-goals/

Understood, Thanks for pointing that out to me! Wasnt trying to troll or anything, cant wait to see a slick GUI like that for Monero!

No, what can I do? I don't have technical knowledge as devs have.

Second thing you mention is about expanding the community. I don't think you necessarily need tech knowledge to help on this.

Yes, do to emissions this community needs to continually grow as well as see milestones being met. Uphill battle but worth the payoff in the end.

You can donate time: learning and teaching others about Monero or just adding towards the positive vibe.

You can donate to the Dev fund or a specific project.

You can play Crypto-Kingdom and add both while having fun.

The development isn't slow -- there is a lot being done and the pace is reasonable -- but the release cycle is slow.

This is not meant to say there isn't a problem, but to identify the problem more clearly.

Thinking about investing a few K's in Monero. Is now a good time? Could monero be as big as bitcoin?

I think so.  As of right now, the price is .47 cents in USD.  This is the low end of our average price for the last few months.  Monero generally fluctuates between .50 cents and .60 cents.

There's been quite a bit of work going on behind the scenes.  Many of us are testing the new database and eventually we'll get an official GUI.  

This is very much like early Bitcoin.

We made it on cryptopia.co.nz as DOT Vote winner of the week yeeeaaahhhh  
We will be added soon on their exchange  
Thanks for everybody who voted

too cute to not make on topic

The dog is actually sad because Jojatekok has decided to stop working on MoneroX, and MoneroX doesn't work properly with the low-memory, database-supporting master branch of the Monero daemon.

Does this website work only for New Zealand users?

I thought the dog was sad because the question keeps getting asked without an inkling of what should be the priority of a technology that's aim is end user functionality rather than a speculative dog and pony show, but the jojatekok news makes me sad. Has anyone picked up the project yet?

I think this is good news, because Monero core devs did emphasize that GUI is not a priority at all. New low-memory database implementation of console client is the priority. So I hope jojatekok will join to Monero core devs to help them in order to write a code or to make quality assistance.

I can add, I am completely happy with current console client, except it's HUGE memory eating. For example I can't install current Monero client on a VPS with 1GB virtual memory. THIS is the problem, not GIU absence...

Compile from github master. It is fairly stable (unstable work is going to the development branch now) and only needs about 50 MB of RAM

personally i would welcome a freezed master branch for new features and also new "official" beta test bins. We can let it run on different OS, we can support you with testing. Most also can compile it themselfs but you would reach more possible testers if you post some windows bins again.

it seems that the newest work was merged to developement branch, so i guess this is also what the devs have in mind more or less?

is 0.9 "feature complete" ? current state seems very stable to me too, runs fine on my machines, only experienced small and allready known troubles.

All of this.

I'd say though that the majority cannot/will not compile it themselves, making official binaries even more important.

The new missives cover a lot of the way things will be structured going forward, but this is more or less on point. Dunno what feature complete means. In general, I assume the lack of official posted binaries on the website are to prevent people from using it for mission critical things. You can imagine if Poloniex (or some other exchange, service, company) saw new bins posted and went "welp, looks like its time for stuff to happen" and we're all like "Well, those are really for testing only" and then people cry.

[medusa13]

personally i cant estimate if this kind of broad testing i proposed is even necessary, but yes safety first if possible.
with feature complete i mean no big new features coming in, like zmq. those kind of deep changes can have a lot of unknown effects and mostly need some kind of regression testing.

it is also very easy to get testnet coins. with 1 thread mining you will allready find many blocks.
