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

[redhack]

We are waiting official GUI to publish our works and start donation fund.

[tacotime]

You can't expect the raise of public usage unless you show people the official GUI. I don't know why is it so late, more than 6 months passed.

We're working on making the software more functional for payment processors and web wallets rather than concentrating on a GUI for the wallet that is attached to the daemon. The vast majority of Bitcoin users do not use full nodes anymore. In fact, only about 700 full nodes even exist on the Bitcoin network anymore.

^ 7000.... you shocked me

Yeah, missed a 0, but the listening hosts are lower (~3-4k).

And, with the current number of tx on the network per day, obviously we have more than this many people making transactions.

700  

that is shockingly low!

edit: ok, saw your post above

I think I overbuy Monero for under 0.002. I hope price will go back to 0.01 btc again.

Does this apply to making lightweight wallets as well? In that case I agree with your points, but still it would be nice to release the GUI asap, since it´s a great aspect of marketing.

would be nice, but will take a while.

If we manage to get to the 0.003-0.004 region again, that would be a nice start

OMG the ruble has shed 25% of its value in 2014 alone

Actually, we need the I2P integration, Monero is very interesting, I risk to say its the most privacy enhancing cryptocurrency ever created, this cryptonote is a real gem.

Very glad to be onboard.

First post ? Welcome!

First post ? Welcome!

Thank you! :-)

I really like what I see here. If only Monero was "easy" to use like the Bitcoin wallets.

how does it come we are down to rank 13 on coingecko? have we not been like 5 or 6?

As you can see the difference between the numbers 7 to 14 is very small. I think it´s because of the drop in community and public interest (on coingecko) that we are ranked lower at the moment.

Yes. We're trying to get the framework in place to do SPV-style clients like Electrum, so Windows users won't have to sync the blockchain, etc.

Actually, there has been a significant gap in market cap between 9 and 12, or even 11 and 12, for a while now. Darkcoin, for instance, has four times the market cap of Monero.

My questions must have gotten lost in the pack:

Two questions:

1.) Will the command_server functionality on the development branch be merged into master and rolled out with 0.8.8.5?

2.) If not, has any or all of the following fixes been incorporated into the development branch?: the spam attack patch; block 202612 attack patch; block 202612 attack mitigation and fork fix (via a whole new block blob hash checkpointing system)

Either one of these items would help move things forward on the Monero Client .NET GUI.

Reason being is that, at the moment, we can't use the test version of Monero Client .NET because it requires the command_server functionality in the daemon to properly function. Unfortunately, the latest available bitmonerod.exe binary from the development branch that has this also doesn't have the aforementioned patches incorporated into it, meaning that we can't use it anymore.

On the other hand, the most recent version of Monero Client .NET that does NOT require the binary from the development branch also contains a number of bugs (that have since been fixed in the test version) that make it annoying to use.

Anyone?

I meant the ranks on coingecko.com, not the ranks on coinmarketcap.com   Maybe you should try IRC for your questions? Mostly you will get a faster response there.
