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

[Vegetablepin]

I was syncing blockchain and computer turned off. Now when I load bitmonerod it starts and then deinitializes. How do I fix?

Could you post a more specific error log? It's difficult to examine this way.

XMR is doing better than any cryptocurrency right now. It's the only one (with ETH) that pump during the BTC pump. Very strong.

I Doubt XMR is a pump. With so much chinese moving capitol into alts Monero is a great hedge and is very stable vs USD in comparison.

I'm glad I've held through the BTC bubble so far. If it's a bubble, who knows.

Can anyone confirm whats being said of large Chinese money shorting BTC and they are covering now.

ETH OTOH is a self sustaining bubble ATM, DAO bought it alot of time. Those boys are gonna get real butthurt.

Hello,
May i ask mymonero.com developers are they going to open source it?
By the way is there any standalone full node XMR GUI?
Sorry, i don`t watch xmr development.

Sorry, i don`t watch xmr development.

1. mymonero.com is a service ... I don't think the mymonero.com developers will open source it. It could be reverse engineered though. If you view the source on mymonero.com (right click, view page source), you can see all the script required to do the stuff. Its just the server backend that isn't open.

2. Standalone full node XMR GUI - none exists yet, but the CLI is really easy.

The official GUI is under active development by a dedicated paid developer, so we'll probably see it released sometime in 2016.

The javascript source has BSD license notices in it so should be considered explicit open source. The part that isn't open source is the back end server.

That video is good. And it's funny - "we're gettin' hacker-level, goin deep, deep into the internets..."  lol

i see. one more question: why "GUI is under active development by a dedicated paid developer" and not xmr dev?

many reasons, as has been mentioned many times, but I won't go into that. Instead I will ask, how is the paid developer not an xmr dev?

Working on a development project involving XMR...can confirm that he's an XMR dev. Or does the money not make him an XMR dev

[Johnny Mnemonic]

I think what he means to ask is why it's not developed by a core team member.

The answer is that there are no "official" developers. Contributors work on whatever interests them. This particular dev created a proposal to build the GUI, and the community raised the money.

Hello monero!
I'm still learning XMR, apparently it has great potential for investors and the community...one question,  is anonymity in monero network mathematically proven?

Yes, see the original whitepaper:

If you are interested, the Monero Research Lab has published some further whitepapers as well:

I wish more people were aware of MRL. Monero is the only coin that I'm aware of, apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum, that has people consistently performing academic-style research in the background and publishing papers of a certain level (ie not crap). People frequently underestimate the difficulty and the importance of this.

Would be even more sweet if we got them peer reviewed. Yah know, its not impossible to get things published in PLOS.

Afaik there are almost no scholarly publications that accept work from pseudonymous or anonymous authors. Even the blockchain journal started by Peter_R said they wouldn't accept anonymous submissions except under extraordinary circumstances I think.

It makes one wonder what PLOS does to _verify_ an author's identity.  Do they only accept submissions from people who are already known... or could you fabricate a plausible name and curriculum vitae?
I'm not sure it matters though.  The PLOS publications all seem to concern biology, medical science and the like.  No math-y journals, at least I don't find any.

I think generally you submit from a .edu or .gov email address, or IBM.com email or whatever, and that is a decent verification that you are who you say you are and you work where you say you work.

PLOS One publishes science, period.

I think if the email came from a monero domains (specifically, the core-team managed domain getmonero.org), it would be fine. There's nothing in the submission guidelines that suggests otherwise.

http://journals.plos.org/plosone/s/submission-guidelines

Each author on the list must have an affiliation. The affiliation includes department, university, or organizational affiliation and its location, including city, state/province (if applicable), and country.

I think its doable. The formatting of the MRL docs would need to be modified and we'd need to properly cite more things. For instance, the footnote on the final page of MRL1 "[3]See what I did there?" would need to go. In general, the tone of bulletin 1 is a bit colloquial.
