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

[tacotime]

Questions

1. So is it possible to build the miner only then point it at a centralized wallet? ie a one man pool?

Yes, you need to send request to JSON RPC and do "getblocktemplate", then mine on the blob that it dumps to you.

2. Is there a centralized place to post hash specs?

thank you

and

i would like to propose a conspiracy theory here. could it be that TFT and friends created a problem where there was non, as they see the coin going up in popularity and thus limit ability for people to mine or participate.
1. yes mining continued: is this true can a non techy very this
2. increased frustration: people may hold of mining while a better wallet is in place. thus decreasing difficulty and increasing coin accumulation of those in the know.
3. a day later and still unable to access wallet from first page. people are pointed to github but I do not see a link there that says updated wallet. click here and your parse problems will be solved.
4. i recall i could not participate early because link was botched. there was no note underneath to clarify this for those new to cryptocurrencies. for 5 days I could not mine while tft and friends went about it merrily.


would tft go to such an extreme.... just speculating.

Doesn't really matter now, community is maintaining the current repo.  I guess people can break it again in the future, whatever, we'll fix it.

1) I did find a block during the whole debacle with the merged block entering the chain.

2) This is the case with any coin. The people who know how to code can create their own optimized miners for CPU or GPU. Its just the way it is for now. Bitcoin went through all of that, the final solution being ASICS. New stuff is much more fun to mine.

3) There is another link just above to a dropbox where you can download the new version. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lcjr6fkkbtf4tse/MRO%20Windows%20Binaries.zip

are you a none techie?. does your reponse increase confidence. in my case it does not.

so this is a manufactured situation to benefit the founder? That does not consistent with the theme of no instamine, no premine, fair launch coin.

one mistake is likely incidental. the first one where the link did not work in OP ( yes it did work if you copy the whole thing and paste-however there was no instruction for this in OP. this can be an oversight and understandable.) two mistakes is concerning for a pattern. Are you saying that it is ok because other coins did it, that founder should manipulate this coin to his benefit?

3) There is another link just above to a dropbox where you can download the new version. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lcjr6fkkbtf4tse/MRO%20Windows%20Binaries.zip

yes, thank you. this does not clarify points 1 and 2.

^^ The other thing I should note is that this is pretty much alpha-level software and seems to break a lot.  For instance, I broke the network the first day or so making a large transaction because the mining code was messed up.  So don't be surprised if something weird occasionally happens (backup your wallets all the time, please).

Another coin launched without pools. Instamining. Don't launch a coin if u don't have the basics, is it hard to understand ? No, but u prefer instamining in the dark.

Don't make a fork if it's as bad as the original.

It's already impossible to solo mine. Cpu coins are botnets cra*p. Decentralized money my as*

Nuff said

I'm mining with 2 CPUs and got 4 blocks yesterday...  If you want a pile of it, buy some, it's really cheap.

Did we loose the boost 1.53 compatibility ?
After a git pull I can't compile any more on Ubuntu 14.04 !

Code:

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindBoost.cmake:1131 (message):
  Unable to find the requested Boost libraries.

  Boost version: 1.53.0

  Boost include path: /usr/include

  Could not find the following Boost libraries:

          boost_atomic

  Some (but not all) of the required Boost libraries were found.  You may
  need to install these additional Boost libraries.  Alternatively, set
  BOOST_LIBRARYDIR to the directory containing Boost libraries or BOOST_ROOT
  to the location of Boost.
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:76 (find_package)

If you're using the community github repo (monero-project), I updated that file the other day to support mac; however, I didn't modify any lines relating to boost and it compiles over here on 13.10 OK.  So, try cloning the community repo instead.

Same error with the "community github repo" ie: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git

boost_atomic doesn't exist in 1.53 version of boost, but was not used anyway in bitmonero.
But now it seems to be included, I don't know if it's used though.

Bitcoin was also released without pools.

It is still possible. I have 4 hash/sec. Should get me 1 block in 3 days.  (and I already mined 3)

Yup, get used to it, guys. The reason everything else around here looks polished and works 100% of the time isn't because of great devs: it's because BTC and LTC struggled through a lot in the past.

[digicoin]

My laptop yields 2.5 - 3 H/s. I get 1 block after 2 days. Acceptable at the moment.

Finally, thankyou. Id add this link to the first page if you can until Mega is sorted.

It's working now. For some reason just that file crapped out.

Boost.Atomic does exist in 1.53: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_53_0/doc/html/. You might have a partial install of Boost.

Edit the file CMakeLists.txt at line 89 and remove "atomic" :

find_package(Boost 1.53 REQUIRED COMPONENTS system filesystem thread date_time chrono regex serialization atomic program_options)

find_package(Boost 1.53 REQUIRED COMPONENTS system filesystem thread date_time chrono regex serialization program_options)

Ok but it wasn't required before, and is still not required with my modification.

Do I place the binaries in c:\monero instead of c:\bytecoin?

This is totally new for me.

I actually dont get this. Probably sleep deprivation + stupidity -_-
