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

[emontmon]

with the upcomming pool technology for this coin I have some questions concerns
1. with the transaction time of 1 minute. will the pool make it impossible to mine solo as a solo miner will be competeting against a pool. Meaning, the solo miner may find a block but given the transaction time so low, it will likely be orphaned and thus wasted work and energy.
2. will you create a mechanism so that a poole can be created by many. otherwise if there are only 1-2 pools, will this not essentially centralize the currency. exactly the opposite of what its goal is aimed to be.

to the current devs. with the current activity and creation of bcn forks in the last few weeks alongside the newbie accounts who are bashing this coin sowing confusion, this coin has execptional potential. Please consider the above and assure your success.

I would like to create a pool, and I am sure others would like to as well. as the technology was made easily available to you, can you do the same now and carry the ball even further than where cryptonote/bytecoin left it. make it now more available to those that do not know coding to any level near your ability. essentially I am asking for a walkthrough step by step.

I wrote a letter to MintPal in order they add BCN, MRO, FCN and QCN to the vote list. Waiting for the answer now.

I have done this as well, yesterday.  haven't received a response yet.

I have troubles compiling AND running the binary on my Mac:

This happens when I run the binary

Code:

[...]/monero.osx.x64.050814/bitmonerod ; exit;

[Process completed]

And this happens when I run make in the source:

Any idea what's wrong?

Is there any bug with the latest binary? here it stops syncing and i have to restart several times  

I have been getting that too. It seems to get 'stuck' on a certain block and I need to exit and relaunch the daemon.

Once it was stuck for almost an hour before I noticed and restarted it.

i can't get this to work...

Are you using the latest binaries?  Did you download the latest blockchain file on the first page?

[Keyboard-Mash]

yes, its obvious theres something wrong, many people with same bug

Which binary? I have not had any problems with the binary in the OP : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg6382239#msg6382239

For all binaries or is it isolated to a specific operating system?

1. Yes the possibility of orphans create an advantage for large pools. But I wouldn't say it will ever be the case that it is "likely" your blocks will be orphaned. It is more like a small increase in the percentages. You have to trade that off against the pool fees, the possibility that the pool gets hacked or is dishonest and the increased late share latency. How that all works out is not clear, but it will certainly never be impossible to solo mine. (Extreme patience will always be required though. If you want instant gratification solo mining of any mature coin is not for you.)

2. We have gone out of our way to ensure the the first developed pool software is open source so people can use those packages to create as many pools as they want. This should not and almost certainly will not require coding but it will require admin skills and perhaps web design skills.

with the upcomming pool technology for this coin I have some questions concerns
1. with the transaction time of 1 minute. will the pool make it impossible to mine solo as a solo miner will be competeting against a pool. Meaning, the solo miner may find a block but given the transaction time so low, it will likely be orphaned and thus wasted work and energy.

I'm using the latest binaries from the OP too, and have noticed the 'stuck at certain block' bug from my post a couple of posts up on two different machines (both Win 8.1, x64).

still no pool for botnet coin...relaunch

[David Latapie]

The world’s first exchange for Monero just opened!

A beta test was done in partnership with the Monero developers and the end result was very satisfying. The exchange is operational and new features will be released soon.

Inauguration bonus:

• The first 10 first users will be credited 10 MRO each.
• The 10 first depositers will be credited 20 MRO.
• Beta testers will receive a little surprise in their account after they sign up again.

Beta pools are coded, see the pool bounty thread.

Seems like we went from walking to sprinting over just the last 2 days. Network hashrate agrees.

david, how long do mro deposits take to show up there?

[David Latapie]

david, how long do mro deposits take to show up there?

Less than two minutes.

It's been like 5 minutes, still not seeing the deposit
