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

[elrippo]

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.

I found my third on a full node in 6 months on a AMD Octacore

in main net, yes

Uuupppssss, missed the test net

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?

Yes that is what is happening. I don't know when there will be new beta binaries though.

[medusa13]

jumped at me. not a real bug but somehow still dangerous(testnet):

Code:

[wallet 9xaGR2]: transfer_new 5 9xaGR2TnSCm6AfKYPkca8P1aZXkR1SVJRHRzajEkrVCrGB8yY6MvbCx8LGzy9CiHqDXF32s9jvWqJifYTYnS7L6jBZjqonq 500
Your transaction needs to be split into 5 transactions.  This will result in a transaction fee being applied to each transaction, for a total fee of 0.610000000000.  Is this okay?  (Y/Yes/N/No)y
Money successfully sent, transaction <bdc64a29c38e5c912daa9641423dbdc55c653c0a8ae4f50175fc1a354fe52ec0>
Error: transaction <ce2d8a389f3c809861c42d093f34fbb7da8d00974ea262118aeea5940ff88fd0> was rejected by daemon with status: Failed
[wallet 9xaGR2]

or..will my money be returned somehow?

would be a good thing to create a place to report bugs? github seems not to be the right place since i think bugs should first be checked by somebody

i tried to start this in the support thread. The link to compile monero in my signature goes to that thread.

[fluffypony]

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.

There are a handful of small things we need to finish and merge into development and master before we can release 0.9 RC, and then go from there.

Are you sure the transaction was deducted from your balance? If so then you should be able to rescan.

In any case, please report any error messages from your simplewallet.log and bitmonerod.log files.

0MQ is such a happy surprise. Paired with the absurd lmdb optimizations, xmr has a serious monster under the hood. Cryptonote sorta dropped out of the sky as far as XMR is concerned, but these upgrades and reworks using what is as far as I can tell is the absolute cutting edge in technology that would be applicable to crypto-currency.... . I've been migrating to 'the gui can wait' camp slowly for a bit now, but with 0mq dropping and this lmdb hot fire, i really think the dev-camp is right on target. Sorry for the pure hype! But I feel it is deserved.

Which brings us back to the science of programming. To fix the world, we needed to do two things. One, to solve the general problem of "how to connect any code to any code, anywhere". Two, to wrap that up in the simplest possible building blocks that people could understand and use easily.

yah know, light reading.

I just happened to distract myself with this, and meanwhile I'm watching "halt and catch fire" ... and they just synergistically get me very... excited.

lol I was thinking exactly the same but I refrained from commenting because it would sound like hype, our feelings about Monero are the same, it is the hottest piece of crypto, 0MQ and LMDB on a modified Cryptonote protocol, i2p still to come! Nothing short of amazing really.

What is this 0MQ? I haven't really been following crypto for quite a few months now.

basically, its the best way ever developed for code to talk to other code.

you can read all about it here
http://zguide.zeromq.org/page:all

it replaces or lives alongside of all of the RPC stuff in monero core. this was detailed in some long ago missive when fluffypony and I talked like the micromachines guy.

Sounds useful for adapting monero to plug into solutions for the other half of privacy, the IP transport part.

@GingerAle Thanks for the link, I think i'll have fun spending some time attempting to wrap my head around that

I thought this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6AGUeZOVSU

was a nice introduction to 0mq, though it is a bit old. Shows visuals of the code running different examples etc, might be a bit easier for the not so sharp ones such as myself

yah know, light reading.

I consider myself a cunning linguist, and this still reads like Hermetic alchemy or something.

"ZeroMQ (also known as ØMQ, 0MQ, or zmq) looks like an embeddable networking library but acts like a concurrency framework. It gives you sockets that carry atomic messages across various transports like in-process, inter-process, TCP, and multicast. You can connect sockets N-to-N with patterns like fan-out, pub-sub, task distribution, and request-reply. It's fast enough to be the fabric for clustered products. Its asynchronous I/O model gives you scalable multicore applications, built as asynchronous message-processing tasks. It has a score of language APIs and runs on most operating systems. ZeroMQ is from iMatix and is LGPLv3 open source."

Being a cunning linguist may allow you to tokenize and parse a complex text into an adequate syntax tree, but you still need domain specific knowledge to derive proper semantics from it.

It does sort of read like a hyperbole of techno babble satire.

I kinda took that as evidence that the 0mq community knows how to have fun and has found a way to keep it all in perspective.
