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

[cAPSLOCK]

Maybe Monero will learn something from the BBR fundraising announcement scheduled for tomorrow.

Or maybe Monero will still not get it and keep promoting leadership that assumes because it owns lots of bitcoin that it can steer a CryptoNote alt in the right direction.

Sooner or later people either realize that they have to think outside the box or join those people already doing so.

Again, BBR and Monero are going in different directions, so Id hardly call them "competitors" anymore. But if you don't want to support BBR, you might want to watch what happens over the next couple of weeks and open your minds about raising funds for securing the future of a coin.

I don't know for sure but it looks to me that we learned that if whales cut and run, hyping 24 hours in advance of their dump, we get to see some spectacular fireworks the next day for sure.

Or was it a different lesson?

I don't know what the reason is but XMR market is currently disappeared in Mintpal after they launched Mintpal V2 today.
Did anybody ask them why ?

+1 the same question in my head )

Some member stated here that they got some problems adding non BTC-clones. NXT market isn't online as well.

For me much better functionality have SMF

SMF doesn't have anything close to the functionality we require, and it's not like we could transition from SMF to something else later on. It's great to want to take shortcuts and deliver things quickly, but history has shown that rushed decisions early on in a cryptocurrency's life will stick with them for ages (see: Bitcointalk, Litecointalk, Bitcoin's Qt interface, etc.)

Great job on the forum, don't get me wrong now, but building a forum from scratch takes a lot of time, how much donations was used to fund this? The reason I'm asking is that I would prefer if (my) donations was used for development of the coin itself.

Also, who built the forum?

Donations are less than 20% of our expenditure thus far. You can be safe in the knowledge that the donations have only been used for core development. Or have only been used for blockchain bootstrap download bandwidth costs. Or have only been used for OpenAlias development. Or have only been used for development of the forum. Cut the cake however you feel most comfortable:)

The forum was built by some of our non-C++ contributors

Hello!  Most people here.  I can confirm we do NOT want to sign up for yet another site. 

I remember shoveling copypasta about Ciphermine from the LTC Forum to the Securities sub here.  What a waste of time!   

Bitcointalk is not a good environment if we want serious discussion about Monero. That much should be obvious. At some point we have to start cutting the apron strings and disconnecting from Bitcoin, especially since we share few common goals and no common code. It would be unfair of us to force newcomers interested in Monero to dig through thousands of scamcoin, shill, and troll posts on bitcointalk to find the occasional gem of information.

Additionally, you cannot possibly convince me that people needing help in running and using Monero should all gather in a single thread on a Bitcoin forum?? Nah, we've done our time here, there's no value in maintaining all the Monero threads on Bitcointalk. Anyone here who needs to know about Monero already does know about Monero;)

I've been trying to use Apple's new feature, "neigh Siri", but I don't think it understands me.

Quoting for info:

Add XMR


and also...


In the chat box, make it so that Private Mentions are in a different coloured font.

We have one project that is preventing XMR from a listing today. I like the coin and its got a strong community so have little doubt it will make it in.

We will bring more features to chat in the coming months its on our roadmap.

Could you elaborate a bit more on this?

As far as the current Project its a surprise so no but you will know more sometime during the inside Bitcoin conference. As far as new chat features Ignore, PM, Mention etc its on our list but chat is always a low priority for us.

I think this is what BitJohn was talking about:

Thanks for the missives.

Any news or progress update about funding, database, GUI, I2P?

Do we have a blockchain stats/hashrate explorer for Monero? Monerochain.info seems to be permanently down.

Incidentally, there is right now a MEW discussion&vote round going on concerning this!

There's always minergate.com for blockchain and hashrate. Also chainradar.com

We need GUI !?

When will we see an official GUI

The section in the Missives about the forum answers the funding question.

Everything else is ongoing, although we've been spread rather thinly over the last 4-ish weeks with the attacks (both actual and imagined). i2pd is progressing at a clip, you can follow the progress in that repo: http://github.com/PrivacySolutions/i2pd

As soon as it has been completed it will have been completed, and then it will be released as it has been completed so it can completely be released.

Ripple has been added to cryptsy, that leaves monero as #1 on the voting list!

Let's not forget the platform is going to be used for crowdfunding and feature voting.

Why my bitmonerod (0.8.8.4) does not start to synchronize the blockchain?..

Please don't tell that I'm the one met this problem...

[xulescu]

What exactly is your problem? So far looks good. Does it stay like that for a long time and nothing else happens?

If yes, start the daemon with set_log 1 and pastebin from the log file please. There is nothing wrong with that output itself.

Exactly. It stay like that for a several hours and...

With set_log:



p.s. bitmonerod is in the "whitelist" of my antivirus, and DrWeb anyway doesn't inform about anything when I start bitmonerod...

That is somewhat normal -- most connection attempts fail. What does print_cn say. If it shows no open connections then something is blocking them (security software, firewall, etc.)

If you could do two things for me -

1. Type 'diff' into the daemon and see what BH you're on (currently we're at a block height of 251414)

2. As smooth asked, type 'print_cn' and see if you have some connections (at least 2 with "state_normal" under the state column)
