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

Monero/XMR Unofficial Distribution Survey


https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10FFq_viVaY_THsToPNEwgTxrBSGVxW1EzeYPHX_2nuQ/viewform?usp=send_form

The goal of this survey is to provide an exactly, up-to-date distribution to the XMR community, mostly for entertainment/observation purposes.

I will admin the user list to avoid any duplicates or fake entries. I will pledge to keep all entries anonymous.

Charts, analysis, and results coming soon - please participate!

Update: Usernames are no longer required, unless you are a "large" holder over 10k. I figure I already know who most of these folks are anyway and nobody will bother faking under 10k. Also, all entries will be kept anonymous.

Update:
Now 59 entries on the list.

I just watched the fireside chat form like the 8th of this month showing the wire frame gui and talking about abstracting the data from the block chain logic.  Has there been one since then and if so can somebody point me there?  Apologies for the laziness ... my phone is acting up

the payout threshold is always 0.1 for monero.crypto-pool.fr
Efficiency: 102.5% on last 12 Hour ( thanks my patch )

And how does a regular person (user) update? Just overwrite the old bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe with new ones? And keep the old stuff like .keys, .txts and wallets in the same directory?

Update executables, remove poolstate.bin and p2pstate.bin then start.

What re-generates poolstate.bin and p2pstate.bin if you remove them as a general user? Removing these causes simplewallet.exe to not execute.

I believe the devs were saying your patch is bad for the network.

Did you change it since you posted the (dangerous?) code?

No there hasn't - they're going to be irregular and only when we have sufficient movement to warrant another developer event. There are updates in the Missives since then, they're linked in the OP:)

It shouldn't, simplewallet doesn't touch either of those files. When you start the daemon again after removing these two then they'll be recreated; p2pstate.bin is the daemon's peer lists, and poolstate.bin is the transaction mempool that it'll receive once it syncs up.

No one care. Such advertisement, such hype.

I care quite a bit.  If pool owners do things to make the network less secure or stable I care very much.  As pool owners have come to make up the majority of my ignore list I am beginning to see (some of) them in a distinctly negative light.

I am solo mining because of this.

I believe you understand my sarcasm in previous post. I am also scared of this. All these "secret" improvements are harmful. Nice to ignore this bullshit while it's not harmful and just bring placebo effect, but such magick beans absolutely unacceptable if they produce damage.

I'm relatively new to Monero transaction performance. I requested a XMR withdrawal from MintPal a few hours ago - nothing showing as of yet in my wallet. I don't have the transaction or hash from MintPal, so I can't look up the transaction in a block explorer. How long does it generally take for MintPal to process XMR withdrawals?

If they haven't upgraded their wallet the transaction will confirm slowly if at all. Best to take this up with MintPal support.

What status of your withdrawal? Did you confirm it by link in email? AFAIK there must be a tx hash regardless of their daemon version.

I think monero could use some good representation here http://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2eg8iw/id_like_to_have_an_honest_discuss_about_darkcoin/

Yes, I have remove my patch just after moneropool make update . ( more 6H now )

Sorry my pool is best for network . I have not include TX with fee lower off 0.1XMR 2H after commit . I have not wait 12H and 6H after get information off patch .

If i used my patch is only for my pool continue work for patience other big pool make update mandatory .

My patch as only not disconnect bad pool is not impact off network . Juste old bad bitmonord continue connected to my pool .

If you are not ok with my check all block found per my pool after commit mandatory update and all block 2 other major pool .

I'll have to break my pool because I was the first to make update ?
While others pool wait update is majoritary on network for make update ?

Which is more harmful?
Pool make update immediatly after mandatory update ? (This even though there a small patch)
Or pool wait network make update before make update ?

This new monero wallet is sooo bad... Old was working like a charm... I downloaded even blockchain.bin from yesterday, even that didn`t help...
New one eating 3.5 GB of ram memory.. What will be in few months.... We will need 16 GB of ram to see our coins...

[perl]

The worse the inside and I spend for the ugly duckling

I'm not aware of any change in the wallet that would affect memory usage. The new build just changes the default transaction fee.

If everyone had that attitude then nobody would update. We'd all be sitting around "wait network make update".

It's much worse to wait in an emergency soft-fork situation, because you simply do not know what danger you are putting yourself and the rest of the network in. Incidentally, every other pool discussed it with me or in #monero-dev, and once we explained the situation they changed over immediately without waiting.
