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

[smooth]

So I was traveling all day today and couldn't really follow what happened on the test run... Can anyone give me a TLDR version of everything that happened? I think everything went smoothly but don't really know. So glad I don't really have to know how to run these types of things and know that monero is in good hands with active devs and experts in the crypto world.

See beneath:

The testnet fork that was scheduled for today seems to have gone fine.

More detailed -> https://forum.getmonero.org/1/news-announcements-and-editorials/2429/testnet-hard-fork-23rd-november-2015-block-624634?page=&noscroll=1#post-4450

The test run sounds like it was a resounding success!

Yes it was. There will need to be some more testing of the "version 2" state now that the fork is over but the forking process itself went perfectly.

XMR Fans,give yourself a nice XMAS gift !

XMR for XMAS, this sound cool.

Here is my new painting -first small 5 panels painting -90 cm x 70 cm ( usually I made 5 panels paintings much larger).

Is this your other painting under the influence of a chain saw and some rotation - like a jigsaw puzzle?

Hi guys,
I'm testing out Monero mining on a Linux machine. I'm using the moneropool.com and minerd.

Something might be wrong in my config, but I get following error: "unknown algorithm"

./minerd -a cryptonight -o stratum+tcp://mine.moneropool.com:3333 -u MYWALLETADDRESS -p x

When I delete -a cryptonight I get another error "JSON-RPC call failed code:1

Any idea what is wrong here?

Thanks!

you should post here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=653467.740
and are you using this miner? https://github.com/wolf9466/cpuminer-multi

Where did u get minerd from? For whatever reason I've found that compiling bins to be better.

Well, I just googled cpuminer or so and followed the steps from http://gist.github.com/return1/5309843 - ok, I see now it concerns a bitcoin-cpuminer!! Is that the problem then?  

Edit: it works, after installing cpuminer-multi :-)

Isn't that GPU and not CPU?

Looks too much like the last one, are you going to sell this one then paint the same thing again add 2 more squares and repeat?

You detract from the original with each iteration.

Given that it's only your personal opinion, I'd suggest:

• Not to make absolute statements.
• Chill out on your personal critics. If you don't like, just don't buy it.

The guy is, AFAIK, the only artist in the world at the moment selling Monero related paintings. He's not asking millions, about 200 bucks. I think he sold only one so far?

And you're bitching about it, seriously?

Yup my opinion and I stand bye it. Without personal critics art will stagnate and never change. Don't like it, then get of the internets.

...
That is called-Artist signature or style.
Every time people see those paintings, they will know it is ME.
It is difficult to find the way,once you find it,you are not change it.


What did you expect ?

Some landscape with Moon ero shining in the night.
Or alien with Monero inside his eyes.

Just joking,dont get me wrong.

Regards

I would recommend offering to accept commissions on what people would like to have if you have no other idea's. I'm not trying to be offensive, even though I guess I came off that way. I just believe that this detracts (also lowering the value) from your original and if you just continue to reproduce the same thing with just minimal changes then you are destined to have created one more than you will ever sell.

Could anyone share some stats on what the bandwidth usage is like for running bitmonerod 0.9 vs 0.8.8.6?

Obviously the RAM requirement is a big plus; just wondering how it looks for metered connections (GB/month).

you can set download and upload rate limits with a startup flag on the daemon. The new release doesn't change the bandwidth usage per se.

but ultimately, the amount of data being dloaded and uplodaded is going to depend on how much traffic is on the network!! if there's enough traffic to force blocks up to a constant 50 kb, then there would be significantly more bandwidth usage.

Although that would be an interesting option / feature. I setting to make a data cap for capped people, so say you know you can only afford to give 1 gb of data transfer for monero, then once that amount is reached.... the daemon stops? Hrm, but then you just run into the same problem every month

[nioc]

I remember discussion quite a while ago in which it was stated that bandwidth would be used up to whatever was available and that it wasn't necessary to do so.  I believe this is where the bandwidth rate limits came from.  Maybe this is where Quicken' question came from.

I haven't looked closely since the 0.9 beta but with 0.8.6.6 it used to max out my bandwidth.  I have a fast connection with no monthly limit.  I am now syncing 0.9 to compare.
