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

[smooth]

If you say the DB version is good I'll check it out tomorrow.

Its experimental for sure, and Linux only for now. Some have had good results with it. All I'm saying is that the link to tweinget's repo is legit in progress work and not a trojan.

Here is what I had to do to make it work on Ubuntu 14.04

Code:

git clone https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero.git bitmonero
cd bitmonero
git checkout blockchain
sudo apt-get install libunbound-dev liblmdb-dev
make

Dear developers! Have you discarded your promise to schedule every missive per Monday?
Have you returned to previous concept of one missive in a week on average, with a deliver day to be not guaranteed?
Let us now, do not be silent!

It is Wednesday now I writing these lines...

[NeuroticFish]

Come on, give them a break!
My guess is that they got into some nasty bugs and keep feeling they are "this close" to fix them and deliver the new binaries, which will mean more than just a "yes, we are still here" missive.

Or they have real life, people, family?

[Febo]

Missives are every second Monday so 5 days to go.

People cant check that often this forum for Missives. Twice a month more will be able to.

I've been mining using cryptonotepool.org.uk pool.
Now I try to open my wallet.
Seems like the simplewallet.exe just created a new wallet.dat for me. Anyways it asked my password correctly and the address is the same. But how can I access my funds. The monerod.exe just hangs forever and almost freezes my whole computer (v. 0.8.8.3). And the wallet complains that "Error: refresh failed".

It is working now

If I want to transfer money, what is the mixing_count? How can I paste address into the console window (on windows)?

click on the commandline symbol in the upper left corner of the CMD window and you'll see the options.

The mixin count is the number of unspent tx outputs to mix with, I think. Basically it is the degree of anonymity. Typically a value of 2 or 3 is recommended.

Can somebody here give the pros and the cons of Monero.  Darkcoin vs Monero please.

Give me your darkcoin address and I'll show you.

Is there anything stopping CryptoNote blockchains from storing information the same way Bitcoin 2.0 projects depend on the Bitcoin blockchain do?

[bitcoinnee]

the market is recovering ,anything XMR can do to boost its price???

Some sweet media coverage might help... or maybe some new threats from BitcoinEXpress?

Pros:
-Monero has its privacy and anonymous features baked right into the protocol (CryptoNote), whereas Darkcoin relies on centralized masternodes in order to obfuscate transactions.

Cons:
-Cryptonote is a completely new protocol and development is in early stages. Developers have been working on implementing a database for the blockchain (almost done), and an official GUI.  Darkcoin gets the benefit of relying on the Satoshi codebase and has the first mover advantage in the anonymous coin market.

Darkcoin gets the benefit of relying on the Satoshi codebase and has the first mover advantage in the anonymous coin market.

DRK:
 - instamine (with changed mining reward because of a "bug" after it)
 - coinjoin sold as anon (which does not really provide anonymity)
 - bitcoin derieved (no arbitary data per transaction, no dynamic block sizes)
 - masternodes which provide anonymity and an easy attack vector for govs (eg by watching traffic)
 - every release seems to have a bug (this time its with darksend not providing anon because of fees which leaks data)
 - masternode payments not sustainable in the future (someone made a node calculation...but i cant find it right now.. sorry)
 - thinking about going pos right now (ugh... i never thought they would do THAT, but obviously the masternode owners dont like miners)
 - not a tech aware community... they like price and nothing more. at least for me this is a no-go.

i really dont see ANY reason for darkcoin

No, but curious whether you think that is a good thing or a bad thing.
