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

[c789]

The most basic principle of investing: "Buy low, sell high."

That alone should tell you what season it is. Add to that the coming release...I don't know why you wouldn't buy.

Basically, but there is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_trader too

Market is mostly random walk, if you are looking at the charts you will recognize  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noisy_market_hypothesis

 It s time to sell Monero Look at that price https://www.poloniex.com/exchange#btc_xmr

 Is there any plan to save Monero? or do we all abandon this sinking ship?

Sure on the eve of the 0.9 release, sell. Enjoy the 0.8.8.6 binaries with their 8+ GB of RAM requirements while you still can, they will be history soon. 

Also, CK Ultima version is being launched today.

do both. buying gets u more and is easier, mining secures your "investment"

@GingerAle, I just noticed the "Improved NVIDIA mining software" funding is now complete.

https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2355/improved-nvidia-mining-software

Nice, the more hashpower securing/decentalizing the network and adding entropy to the blockchain, the more valuable the coins become.

In time, our market cap will respond accordingly.

Just curious, I was reading in the IRC channel that someone by the name of "Wolf'" is planning on making an AMD miner... If this were to happen and I had a pretty old Window XP with an AMD Athlon in it, would it be worth trying to mine off of that? Or should I just stick with trying to get the node working on there? Oh btw I'm still trying to figure out how to run the node and am having no luck... So if someone could point me to a very newbie friendly step by step on how to do that I would be greatful.. Thanks.

Edit: the windows XP is from 2005 I think

What he is making is a GPU miner. If you have an AMD GPU then you could potentially use it. Athlon is a CPU not a GPU. You could potentially CPU mine but your old Athlon probably does not have AES-NI instructions (anything before 2010-2011 won't) and will therefore be inefficient.

Oh ok, sorry.. Im still very new to all this technical stuff. Looking forward to it being released though so I can possibly try it out, that is, if I can figure out how too lol.

Ps.: I just noticed that i am a senior member now, how did that happen

Here is a guide about running a full node -> http://blog.carl.pro/2015/09/monero-how-to-setup-a-full-node/. If you are on windows you could use the 0.9 beta binaries instead of 0.8.8.6 -> https://downloads.getmonero.org/monero.win.x64.v0-9-beta.zip

New funding required thread popped up! Funding required for an open source AMD miner (done by Wolf0) -> https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2400/open-source-amd-miner-by-wolf0?sort=date_desc

[nioc]

bummer. for the record, the link in my sig is not *my* win64 beta binaries, they were the ones released for testing.
when you say "stuck".. what happened? Did you try restarting it? sorry for the OT.

Moved from spec thread..........

Again I decided to download the entire BC instead of trying to figure out the converter and it was zipping along and the a mere 270 blocks from the end it kept repeatedly saying it was 270 blocks behind.  Again I was not at my comp for a while and I estimate that was going on for ~1 hr.  When I typed exit it said a stop signal was sent and I'm unsure if anything else was noted on the daemon.  after 20 min I just Xed it.  I did not try restarting because the official 0.9 will be released not soon but imminently

I think that it will resume from where it was stuck once you start it again. You see, since it is using the database the info is saved to disk as it is being downloaded. So even the dreaded "Saving blockchain to disk" is gone in this version...

Nice idea. New projects continuing to get funded very quickly!

[bbreconomy]

Has anyone thought more about this recently? With CryptoNote coins so focused on privacy and security it could be a nice addition

Does anyone know a site that features more advanced charts for Monero?

It's easy enough to find block explorers and exchanges with the set of charts generally available for all currencies (hashrate and exchange rate etc)

What I am looking for is for example # of transactions per block, avg fee per tx/block, avg size per tx, etc

This is what I got.......2015-Oct-03 07:57:54.896332 [node] Stop signal sent
2015-Oct-03 08:06:50.960716 Got control signal 2. Exiting without saving...

I had set up the Beta in a new folder and I just checked now and that folder is gone.  

In my bitmonero folder the first thing listed is lmdb and the info above is from the text document in bitmonero.

In my bitmonero folder is monero.win.x64.latest which is 0.8.8.4 which has it's own text document.  My wallets etc are there.

The only thing I see from 0.9 is the lmdb folder and I see no way of starting 0.9


I will now go back to patiently waiting for the official 0.9

I don't understand. The link in my signature is a zip file. Unzip the file into a new folder... on your desktop, anywhere. Then doubleclick on the new bitmonerod.exe
