XMR = 1730 commits DASH = 35 commits LTC = 16 commits DOGE = 0 commits The next time someone calls Monero a shitcoin, send them that. Monero is not just an ordinary altcoin. What does this mean? It means how many times someone has contributed to the code. So basically from that list you would say for instance ltc has been updated 16 times. Dogecoin has been edited or updated 0 times. So basically Monero has a very active base of programmers. Like others have said so its a silly metric because, for instance, one of those commits was me editing the status message from "Sync data returned unknown top block" to "Your node is fine, have a beer, its all OK" or something along those lines, because newcomers were seeing this error message and freaking out. So is Monero getting everybody drunk a feature or a bug? I guess btc clones don't need much active development. Since Monero was created from the cryptonote code base over 2 years ago, most of the code has changed. So even if some of the changes were simple but useful ones such as your's, I would imagine most of the changes are foundational. It seems that development continues apace if not increasing.

Yeah but, You wouldn't have made that change if other code hadn't been changing as well. Look at poor DOGE, nobody's even bothered to change a comment or anything in the past year!

Ever since the 0.10.1 update, auto-refresh does not proceed all the way through after logging into my wallet (watch-only). In fact, I'd have to do several more manual refresh in order to finally get caught up as it only goes in spurts each time. Annoying.
Anybody else experiencing this irregularity?
No problems here, windows 10 I don't know if it matters but what OS are you using? W7. It seems that it only happens when the wallet has an incoming transaction since it was last opened/synced. Otherwise, auto-refresh normally proceeds all the way through until caught up upon logging in. Prior versions never behaved this way.

I think for XMR to gain significant traction/adoption, a user-friendly, secure mobile wallet app in addition to the upcoming GUI release is a must. This will allow users to transact on-the-go (retail payments, P2P trading/exchange, etc.). It would also be valuable to be able to run a local node with it (though I could never get the current Android node PoC to work on my device) or at least the ability to connect to a private and secure "personal" remote node (i.e. running at home).

This only shows, that Monero has still long time to go. It only started running. Sort of, but it also shows a willingness to innovate and add new features. Look at other cryptonote clones or Bytecoin for that matter - they made a few minor changes and then just moved on to another project. Monero devs through their own internal motivation and a little bit of funding have kept adding new features. Forget everything else - we're going to see confidential transactions take place on a production blockchain in January. Unless I'm mistaken, this is the first for any cryptocurrency - that's no small thing.

And CT was invented by Greg Maxwell who works for Blockstream and is helping to "block the stream" of transactions that is *killing* bitcoin... anyone else notice the irony of that here?

Conservatism. It's a natural result when a bunch of relatively new millionaires are satisfied with keeping things status quo. Maybe $500 XMR will cause a similar effect, but the good news is that there's so much innovation being packed into the protocol now that Monero will stay ahead of bitcoin in terms of the feature set. With that said, I hope Greg is proud to see CT put to use somewhere.

Oh Jesus, it's yet another Bitcoin Obituary. Don't you ever get tired of making a fool of yourself by predicting/announcing Bitcoin's Imminent Demise®? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) If GMAX can kill Honey Badger, it never deserved to live. But he is actually helping (ie playing a major role in) scaling Bitcoin to 1MB, so potential future max_block_size increase may be made on a solid (ie decentralized/diffuse/diverse/resilient) foundation and with maximum foreknowledge/efficiency/effectiveness. That's why the price just shot past $800 without breaking a sweat. GMAX has an XMR donation address on his user page: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=11425In gratitude for his work on Bitcoin, CT, and by extension XMR, I'll be sending him a token Annual Gift and encourage all my fellow Mustangs to do the same. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Oh Jesus, it's yet another Bitcoin Obituary...
LOL IceBreaker... over-react much? I never said BTC "obit" here... only maybe possible that 'something else' COULD be the version-2.0 winner IF first-mover advantage doesn't prevail. Just like almost every other disruptive tech in the last couple decades has had happen to it, (i.e. VHS/Beta, Win/Mac, Facebook/MySpace, etc)... AmIRite?. IF only BTC is the final true HoneyBadger permanent winner of the crypto revolution it will be an exception to the rule (and possibly the first time it's ever happened that way, actually? Anyone have an example of a prior instance?) My own position in crypto overall is still heavily favored to HoneyBadger but I'm just lately thinking of maybe re-balance things a LITTLE more in favor of HoneyPony, just 'cuz... ya know... seems like XMR has a lotta momentum these days and a move from $10 to $20 in XMR ain't that unlikely while a move from $800 (today) to $1600 in BTC would represent a crazy-new ATH, and all hell would probably break loose if that actually happened anytime in the next few months? Anyway... your protestations here and elsewhere to the idea that BTC may be a little "in trouble" sound to me a bit like "Methinks The Lady Doth Protest Too Much"... or whistling past the graveyard a tad...? hmm? Just sayin' brother... ya know, maybe don't get TOO emotionally invested in any one investment vehicle there buddy... LOL

LOL IceBreaker... over-react much? You shouldn't write such retarded posts. Its fine to be ignorant, but you shouldn't put it on display with your stunning display of arrogance. But that's why you sit on the sidelines with conspiracy theories and people with actual knowledge like gmaxwell are out there changing the world. You know as little about scaling as you know about confidential transactions, but you figured out how gmaxwell and his evil minions figured out how to fool every bitcoin developer into "crippeling" bitcoin for the sake a unknown buisness model from a company you know nothing about. When was the last time you visisted the core slack channel? You know, where the actual ppl you badmouth, including the president of said company, hang out and will answer any question you have. Not that you have any, because you lack any knowlegde on the subject.

Good job! ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) KeyJockey is backpedaling; he knows making yet another virtue signaling 'zomg gmax is *killing* bitcoin' statement is functionally equivalent to writing a Bitcoin Obituary. Besides his stellar work on BTC, Gmax has given us CT and put an XMR address in his profile. But that's not good enough for the pro-contentious hardfork crowd. They demand every knee must bend to their God of Fake Scaling, on pain of hearing ad infinitum their bleating/doomsaying/defamation/conspiracy.

OMG, you guys.... srsly? LOL I never said/meant anything at all like what you're saying I said. My only point was simply that *maybe* BTC won't end up being the final crypto that "wins"! Everything else that both you guys say elsewhere appears to agree with that, right? After all, isn't this usually a large reason why *anyone* gets interested in XMR (or other alts) in the first place? So... WTF really? Geez, so sorry that I "insulted" Greg, your hero, or something I guess. LOL Methinks (still) The Ladies Doth Protest Too Much... P.S. {Edit} Go ahead and reply more if y'all want but this is stupid & I ain't gonna play any more anyway. Whatever
