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

[explorer]

Hi guys! I was not here for a long time, a year or so. I am just feeling WTF. Look at Monero mining pool hashrate chart:

http://minexmr.com/pools.html

The hashrate increases dramatically in few days, while Monero price has fallen down a lot.

But the most terrifying thing is that 70% of 900MH/s are... UNKNOWN.

Is this real apocalypse of Monero? Look, 70% is much more than 51%.

Unknown does not equal One Known.  Worth watching, but not apocalyptic.  until it is

Unknown means it is up to your interpretation. Regardless, your best, most effective recourse is to mine yourself, and facilitate others to do so as well.

It's probably just botnets. There is almost no reason for a botnet operator to mine anything other than monero so probably 70-90% of all botnet miners are mining monero. Also botnet operators are moving away from ransom-ware and into mining instead because it tends to be more profitable. A lot of ransom-ware attacks go unpaid and its a one time deal even if they do pay, where as a compromised computer or IOT device can silently mine monero indefinitely supplying a passive reliable revenue stream. It's reasonable to expect the might of the worlds botnet armies to outpace legitimate miners when they are all piling head first onto our little old project.

Today is Feb.4,2018. 4 years has passed away!
Let's look the post again and we will find the XMR
is really a great project!
In the last 4 years,the XMR met many difficulties and obstacles
,but it had overcome.
Now,the XMR is one of the most valuable crypt-curr in TOP 10.
That's a really good job for the XMR team!
May the XMR has a more brilliant future!

Earlier bitcoin was so important not only because his price increase very fast.
He was a gate to crypto trading world. Today there are a lot of other crypto like Monero, LTC, BCH, ETH and others . you can buy them, send to exchanges for trading or hold them for future sell. Altcoins today must be more independent from Bitcoin price.

I don't disagree, we're slowly starting to edge away from BTC's dominance over the entire marketplace with more fiat gateways opening up all the time and this can only be a positive thing for crypto in the long-run I think. Seems there will be some teething issues in the meantime, but independence is coming most certainly.

How would I find out if a botnet is mining on my computer?
I run galliumos (linux distro).

[coinzoid]

i think target price for bitcoin is 1500$ . 

Wow, this is a very scary guess. I hope it just remains as a guess and if it becomes reality, there will be more blood on streets.

Not just botnets but also some pools that minexmr.com did not count them and solo miners and ...    I suspect this unknown % will just keep increasing.

Wireshark packet analysis? Or maybe catalog and make sure you know the purpose and function of all of the running processes in top? I bet you could even write a script to filter out all the processes that you know what they do and only report ones you haven't cataloged yet.

Always used to scan my pc with Lavasoft ad aware and hijack this and that will search for anything known.

I seen reports today that exploit malware is mining Monero covertly? Any one else know about this?

There is tons of this going on. It might be the vast majority of monero's hashrate for all we know. It isn't news.

Can someone tell me anything about monero gold?

Of course, I got it from airdrop. gold monero still sat sweet in my wallet until now. the price of XMRG falls very far now, if i sell it now then i will not get anything. I can only hope gold monero will soon go to the moon.

Better yet, to Uranus.  And take its scammers with it.

Indeed, far from it. This has been known for a long time and only serves to strengthen Monero's network. I know certain pool owners have been banning suspected botnet accounts from running on their pools.

Bitcoin Gold, Monero Gold, what's next, Litecoin Gold? Beyond ridiculous. Makes projects like Monero seem ever the more precious.

everything gold :')))
that's been a while since last time I notice XMR, price rise so quickly.
remember that time, when I chose XDN over XMR. and time pass out, XND still rise, but nowhere near XMR. . . make me fell sad so much
but now, ONION rise as very potential anonymous coin. . .
a little bit pointless comment but...any one see through ONION? please tell me your opinion.

EVERYONE can see through ONION.  It's blockchain is transparent.

  The depth of human stupidity never fails to astound and entertain.  Well, the greed, too  

[nikisev]

It has began.
People on Monero channel are talking about ONION.
To the Moon.
Yes DeepOnion is not as secure as Monero.
But it has potential. TOR is a brand name so for entry level user DeepOnion is a good place to hang out.
They have messaging system. DeepVault is working pretty good.
I have high hopes for Onion.
