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

[smooth]

-RP, CZ has seen his project under social engineering attack (FUD campaign, etc.) since before Monero was subject to trolls/hacks

Organized (probably paid) relentless anti-Monero trolls started more or less from day one. The hacks of course are a more recent escalation. Other than that your post makes some good points.

And the price doesn't have to change for it to get cheaper:  E[p(t)] is increasing monotonically in t.

hypothesis accepted

Could you explain what E[p(t)] means?

E[p(t)] = Expected value of price as a function of time

When will .1 XMR network fee be lowered??

When will .1 XMR network fee be lowered??

It would have been done by now but "events" got in the way. The next update after this one should have per-KB fees that are lower for small (meaning size in bytes not amount of coins) transactions.

Could somebody please make a torrent of this? I have a spotty connection and can only download around 100 MB before something goes wrong.
Thank you.

Fellow XMRs,

I recently had close to 6 figures in XMR. I used to be in love with this coin. I have sold it all, pending regaining confidence.

(Funny that I heard this same thing in the trollbox today.) You have an obsession on me, you know deep inside it is you who needs to apologize. But you won't do it. You don't even ask me to do anything, just stalk. The door is still open.

To others: this is a personal matter.

Of course you think I have an obsession with you because your ego is larger than your gigantic bald head (I'm kidding) (ok, not really ) .

But, seriously, I issue I have with Risto is that he has too much influence over crypto noobs who think because he has a little money, that that makes him smart. But to the rest of us his actions are transparent and not noble.

I like XMR. I hope it suceeds. I will probably reinvest.

But for XMR to succeed it needs to have new representation. Risto hurts the things he touches.

I have praised Risto for certain actions and insights he has provided over the years. When he is on, he can be a useful resource and encouragement to people. But when he's freaking out about his finances, he can become a detriment to the cause.

XMR, BBR, both - I dont care.  Im an early adopter no matter what. But if there is an elephant in the room, we should point it out.

Somebody (you?) has added it to Burnbit but the sites reports an error. I have tried adding it too and reached the same error page. Maybe Burnbit cannot acces monero.cc properly?

I don't know I've used it for other downloads and it always worked fine. I'm not at all a bittorrent expert. Do you know of another easy way to make a torrent for it?

uTorrent can easily create a torrent file and publish it to some public trackers (or maybe even DHT, I haven't used it in a few years). I would do it myself BUT I don't have the blockchain in the first place.

- I understand it is hard to swallow my text. Perhaps it was too harsh. I try to tone down. I've had a lot of stress lately.

- I admire the CN team's work. The implementation of the world's first functioning anonymous coin tech is a marvellous achievement.

- Now comes the sad part. I think most of the team participated in a scam, and that's why I call them scammers. The BCN coin was said to be 2 years old, but that is a lie. Whoever says that but knows better is a liar. Not good. I am not buying coins from liars or scammers.

For me it doen't looks like a developers's driven project. If developers was just hired to create technology, than they are not responsible for... say ..strange marketing ? Isn't it ? Questionable.
It's just my guess.

All i want to say is that technology and way it is used are two different things.

Technology is opened and transparent. It's not messy - all you need is strong exprience with modern C++ design, passion and maybe little different attitude to it. (not you personally sure ) 
It's not only my opinion - for example i have another dev who was helped me with some core patches (difficulty adjustment from 64 to 128 bit to be more concrete) - he also gave good feedback about codebase. And also it said dga (Dave Andersen) if i'm not mistaken (correct me if i wrong).


But still - lack of comments in code is a problem for thirdparty developers. I would like to fix this issue but for me is faster to write in C++ than in English language I guess it's obvious.

....
- I believe now would be a time for a great reconciliation. CryptoNote tech is better than the alternatives, and having someone from the original team working on Monero would be great. It is just that all evil things, scams, malice etc. must be left behind.

Totaly agree with you.

Sorry but why are you defending a 82% pre-mined fake blockchain like its an innocent marketing mistake, were the crippled miners too? I doubt the guys behind the CN (genius work) had to put up with incompetent market leadership and were "forced" to launch such DOA coin.

I'm not defending anyone. I've just said that i guess that developers are usually hired people that paid for doing the work.

I'm defending technology.

Here's a magnet link for the current Windows blockchain. This is an unofficial service.

This is the current Windows blockchain on the correct fork.
