Is anyone willing to sell me a small amount of monero? Maybe like 20-ish?
Why not use an exchange? Because I'm only registered to 1 for altcoins and 1 for Bitcoin. Registering then transferring the BTC there, buying monero transferring it back is just too much work wasted for a small amount. You have to work at it to learn, and to get anything out.Try some new exchanges: you will discover useful information. I started on altcoins 18 months ago, worked at it,and made nothing for a while. Now it is different. By now, I am now registered on 26 exchanges, and own 75 different coins. That is alot of exchanges. You should start a thread and list and rate them.. I didn't even know there was that many still operational. Are you including the scammer ones in that list?

Regarding mixins, it might be useful to have a low-end random mixin as a default. So if the user selects "Low" or doesn't specify, the mixin would be a random value between 2 and 10 (for example).
If the user selects "Medium" ambiguity, mixin is a random number between 11 and 20. If the user selects "High" ambiguity, mixin is a random number between 21 and 30.
etc.

etc.
Remember that it's a slider, so we can have 2 as the minimum (for instance) and 100 as the maximum on the slider, and we can literally have all 98 intermediary steps represented. I do fully back Mumbles' suggestion (especially as it's something I've alluded to before) that dashboard transfers (which don't have a privacy slider) will have a random mixin between the minimum and a sane value that doesn't ramp the tx fees when we're on per-kb fees.

Most (but not all) malware hits on miner are false positives caused by malware that includes the miner as a component. I would not personally be concerned about yvg's miner as long as you are getting it from yvg's official download location (and nowhere else).

Just checked and: 23 (nearly all still going) Allcoin Allcrypt Alt2Bit Atomic Trade BitStamp BTCe Bter Coinedup Coinex Coinmarket io CoinsE Comkort Cryptonit Cryptsy Ecoiner Europex Justcoin MCXnow Mintpal Poloniex Swaphole Swisscex Vircurex Plus 5 definitely defunct MTGox (failed) BTC Central (hacked and failed) Openex (closed) IndieMarket (failed) Sharex (turned out a scam) Cryptorush (failed) I traded on all those....there were a couple of other scam ones I can't recall (sent BTC and lost it) because I deleted all records. So 30 in all.

Better check these off your list. Coinex Coinmarket io Yes...Dead ones. I think actually, Coinex turned into a scam ? I traded on it but never got any of my withdrawals. I would divide exchanges into categories: Still running well Still running but poor function Started with good intent, but failed for external reasons/hack etc.. Seemed OK initially but turned into a scam/ owners ran off. Planned Scam from the outset.

Speculation about drop in network hash rate? Moneropool.com dropped 3 MH?

Could it be an error in the chart? How the hell could it drop like that out of the blue?

Quite easily if one person who had a huge farm found a more profitable coin to mine and bailed.

They might be having network issues or under attack I'm guessing. Some of my miners are getting timed out going there.

Can't see one miner having that much hash power. Could it be an error in the chart? How the hell could it drop like that out of the blue?

Was wondering why my pool's HR went up.
Also 19.5 hrs ago the Chinese pool alimabi had the 2nd highest HR at 5.07 MH/s and 7.5 hrs ago it was 2.94 MH/s. Now it's 1.54 MH/s.
ETA: My pool's HR went back to normal in a few minutes. I don't know how accurate the numbers are. My HR can vary by a factor of 2 over a short time for no reason.

Moneropool.com under DDoS attack from what I heard on IRC earlier, and it was only finding a block every 30-60min which equates to an effective hash rate of only 0.5MH/sec compared to the 5-6MH/sec it usually has so that would explain the difference. Miners have been warned about it many times before, having all the hash on a few pools makes them an attractive target for DDoS. Its not a major risk to the network security at this point as a 51% attack would still require the hashpower of the next 2 or 3 biggest pools combined, but its cost a bunch of miners some XMR (which have gone to all the miners on other pools instead, before anyone gets confused).

Currently donating all of our 1% pool fee to the dev fund - mine at CryptonotepoolUK and support XMR at no extra cost!

Same thing goes for a little-known cryptocoin called Bitcoin.
