Having the option to upload your wallet.dat file is retarded. lol

Seems legit.

Hmm strange, not long ago Mintpal repeatly denied to have XMR on voting list just because of totally new protocol. Does this mean their platform is technically ready for CryptoNote now ?

Btw i don't like the part "Vote on Mintpal" of new title, it sounds like a random pump and dump coin. I love the old title "A anonymous currency based on ring signatures" - it look more professional and unique.

All the coins add to Mintpal by voted have no future!! Just see enc

You mean this coin?

Questionable Cryptocurrency Alternatives

The following coins do not have obvious scam signals like the ones above do. But they still raise a questionable flag to investors. Read below to see why.
EntropyCoin

    type of algorithm- formerly scrypt, currently scrypt N

    PoW only

EntropyCoin receives a questionable rating because of its hefty premine. Described in the typical fashion, a reference to the total number of mined coins (150 million) and a percentage (“less than” 1%). The blockchain shows that they premined 1.45 million coins 114) with a plan to have 96 coins mined per block. As one might expect, that is going to take a while to make that premine insignificant.

Currently (June 2014) Entropycoin has 10.8 million coins in existence, making this premine effetively “just” less than 14% of current totals. Sure, this ugly percentage will drop over time, but quite slowly.

A big thing that keeps this coin from being in the extreme caution section is the fact that the block subsidy only halves every year 115). Bitcoin set the gold standard at every 4 years and at least this isn't too far off in comparison to most of this lot here.

I would imagine they're still shaking the effects of that off .. takes time.

Made a little script for converting wallet keys to a printable string and back: https://cryptonote.exchange.to/paper_wallet.php

maybe someone will find it useful, should work with all cryptonote currencies..

Sending private keys to internet? No, thanks.

push! the coin should spread & let more people join.

Hi guys. I need some help if you don't mind.

1. I just followed Linux 64bit binaries to download the wallet. Why binaries if it's open source, Is this legit?

2. I'm running chakra (arch based / kde) no will to change to something else. So hopefully it'll work. I see I have 4 files: bitmonerod, connectivity_tool, simpleminer, simplewallet. What do I start? Is it enough to just execute:

./simplewallet --generate-new-wallet wallet.bin

??

3. Once I generate new wallet what do I need / do to backup it  ?

Thanks.

3. You only need to back up the keys file, and you only need to do that once.

Does this explain why people dont like Java? (Besides other valid reasons.)

If you added up all the C++ vulnerabilities you would quickly swamp that little list.

Back to the point -- how can we "market" the idea that a c++ I2P router is something to be thrilled over (rather than a Java one) to people who are not security specialists. ...what can a c++ one do that a Java one couldn't?

Adding i2p is defense in depth.  Defense of end-user privacy.

The C++ i2p is desirable because it simplifies deployment:  It allows the IP anonymization to be embedded in the monero app.  It also means you don't have local network traffic in plaintext which is easier for malware to snoop.

can you include link to lucas cpu miner in op
can you include wolf cpu miner in op
can you update the block chain to more current one

new people need access to this without searching.

http//monero.cc/getting-started has the install script. Wolf's miner depends on the machine and Lucas' Miner is less perfomant. For the blockchain, I'll see what I can do.

Oh!

That makes a lot of sense now. Thanks a lot! Sorry if anyone else said this and I didn't get it. Programming is not my main background (even though it's pretty technical) .. though I'm learning quite a bit about it by coming to this board over and over again.

I didn't make the connection that you could completely integrate a c++ router into a monero app, rather than have to use an external java router that's controlled by your coin app. So rather than run two separate programs .. you can run one?

ohh ok. i dont know how to use install script. i am sure others dont either. perhaps link to precompiled exe files would be good.

Windows is the weak point, I agree. Precompiled binaries would be good, but I cannot personally help on this one, except by uploading someone else's

For the install script, on Ubuntu, it is really just copy and paste.

OK so I really need to reword the whole thing for the installation section: these instructions do not work for Windows.
"in order to work for Windows, it is necessary to install MinGW" is at the end of a paragraph, so people won't read it.

 i can imagine the frustration others may experience trying to use command line and those commans in windows.

answer: IT IS NOW!!!!

hahaha. for those of us that encrypt our private keys, it would not make a difference if they were stolen right? the only way to spend coins is with encryption key?

It is the same for monero keys, correct? Don't see why it wouldn't be, but i would sleep better if one of the pros assured me xmr keys are the same...i do not know much about encryption...
