Is it possible for XMR to adopt the mini blockchain (XCN) or pruned blockchain (BBR)? How easy to implement that? The main reason I like BBR is its blockchain and faster sync time.

What does this error of bitmonerod mean?
Some problems at write:
software on your host computer severed  established connection:
10053

It's really hard to pin this down, as you are the only person encountering any of these issues. We try to test thoroughly in multiple Windows environments on VMs with restricted hardware, and even they don't hit the problems you're seeing. At any rate, that 10052 is not a Monero error, it's an error coming from Windows, and it basically means that there was a socket error. 99% of the time a socket error is caused by overly aggressive antivirus software.

We can't use XCN's mini-blockchain, since you want to have the entire utxoset to mix with (the more old transactions you can mix with the better it is for your anonymity). The BBR ring signature pruning is something we won't be implementing, as it makes consensus network validation from before checkpoints impossible (although on an individual basis you can implement the pruning yourself without affecting anything if you simply don't care about that).

Q: Why Monero matters?

I merged it with Prove me that Monero is not yet-another-shitcoin, which is much more detailled.

It's like Bitcoin, but ~2x faster and without the sudden halvings.

KISS. I love it.

If we mix with the last 10,000 blocks, is it still untraceable?

Do you have any plan to implement a method to minimise the increase of blockchain?

third listed pool - pool.cryptoescrow.eu - SCAM!
new blocks every day but last payment - 02.09.2014
90 connected miners - nobody seems to care!

We have some very early seeds of ideas to allow for lightweight clients that can do full verification from a point-in-time onwards with negligible disk space and < 50mb a day of data @ 8 transactions a minute (11 585 transactions a day). That is quite some time away, though, as our focus is on getting full nodes working well and efficiently.

Of all the coins that have come and gone through the years, Monero really stands out. The community, devs, promising new tech, rapid progress - everything is very impressive with this coin.
 I feel like we're in the midst of something very special and very important. This is something I haven't seen or felt since the earlier bitcoin days.

That's exactly! But Developers can't  make a wallet properly, I tired to deal with it! 

Exactly! I'm looking forward to having one.

Well we do work for free, we're not a company, so check back in ~12 months:-P

Maybe we should all get together and start a little fund that will finance all the work needed to build a nice GUI. How is that?

Maybe set up donation addresses exclusively for the development of the GUI wallet? Might help in assessing how important it is for the community.

This isn't a terrible idea if the Devs can focus on the coin's main priorities. I'm sure the team doesn't want to sacrifice a current member to work on something that's lower on their priority list.

What might greatly help in the GUI matter and in everything that is not the core core responsibility of the core team, may we present you:

Monero Economy Workgroup. Q&A just out!

It would be great if there was a Windows GUI by the official devs.
It doesn't have to be officially released though.
What about providing an early test build (with big alpha-logo inside) once per KB fees are implemented? Precompiled for Windows with all the necessary runtime environments bundled.

Some problems at write:

I've always gotten similar errors, but just ignored them. For example:

Code:

[P2P4][sock 1100] Some problems at write: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host:10054
[P2P4][sock 1068] Some problems at write: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host:10054

and

Code:

[P2P1][sock 996] Some problems at write: An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine:10053

You mean exactly like we have on the OP? Here:

GUI
All current GUIs are in beta, but they should be fairly safe to use because they work through bitmonerod and simplewallet from the main code.

• Qt GUI (Cross-platform) by Neozaru
• Windows GUI by Jojatekok

We have different situations:
just some of your bitmonerod connections have forcibly closed by the remote host or software in your host machine, but  sync starts & goes with this unimportant errors in bitmonerod.log
As for me -  sync doesn't start at all  'cause something on my PC terminates the connections one after the other!

Investors don't care about 3d party GUIs. In fact, the RPC builds don't even work for me at all and non-RPC isn't really more user friendly than simplewallet CLI.
For that QT-GUI not even compiled builds exist. Not user-friendly at all.

I'm not holding a huge amount, but I'd definitely donate for a working Windows compile by dev team in alpha stadium.

Think some are asking for a ICON + DOUBLECLICK = LAUNCH version.
