Then why isn't it poloniex's coins? Everyone can claim them, and no one can claim them. Thus only the ones who control the keys can claim them. I am not stating, but moreso asking for the sake of getting that disscussion going. (I agree that they should/could instil community spirit and donate the coins to the development.)
 
Not spending them does not equal thievery as has been alluded to elsewhere.

Not spending them, says who ? Where's the current unclaimed xmr balance on polo, why isn't it public ?
Sure, they can keep them but we can all switch to some other exchange. 80% of their volume is XMR so yeah, there's that.


Point of a private and untraceable currency, neh?

How do you lose your customers (who buy and sell anonymous crypto currency on your exchange) quickest? By exposing information, or by withholding information?

If they start to reveal balances in any sort of way, they will lose so much business.

We as a community need to do something about POLONIEX keeping the unclaimed XMR for themselves.
Tens of thousands of XMR have been sent from pools to poloniex without the paymentID, these coins can never be claimed and we can't let poloniex just keep them! 

Lets first force them to publish total unclaimed XMR balance, then we push for a new policy - if not claimed within two months all unclaimed coins go to the DEV TEAM

At this point I consider poloniex straight out scammers, they have never addressed this issue.


See, what if they give them away to the devs, and later the rightful owners come claiming the xmr?

I have no affiliation with poloniex, but they did honour the btc stolen during the hack a while ago.

Doesn't work like that, coins sent from pools (txs) are public, no one/everyone can claim them.

Sine secretum non libertas
If I read correctly, there was an effort to raise 200k USD for it? I really fail to see why this would require 200k USD (?)... Is it a "downsized" version? What am I missing?

Theymos hired a company to build a new forum for 1.5 million

The comparison is notable, but the association is one I would avoid.  FP's project seems considerably more ... useful.

IIRC devs generally cost about 600/diem, and produce about 20 lines in a day over the long-run.  But since we're talking about FP, we'll budget 1k/diem and demand 200 lines daily, so I would expect to pay 1.35mm for 270kloc of de novo code.  Probably the project uses a fair proportion of cutnpaste from elsewhere (legit, and adding value to the project, but not a large proportion of the labor) so that number should be derated -- for conservativism in valuation with large unknowns and no diligence budget, we'll derate aggressively, 50%.  Looks to me like it would cost at least 500k $US to reproduce that project.  If I were a coin investor,  and wanted my coin to see real economic use, I would feel very good about spending 200k and getting that in the process.

can someone explain to me what i am looking at?

An altcoin payment processor that settles on the back in BTC and/or XMR.

200k is hardly an excessive amount of startup capital for a business like this. Not only do you need to build the application, test it, and deploy it, but you to continue operating until you at least have a chance to ramp up the tiny per-transaction fee volume and begin covering operating expenses from revenue (and that is assuming you didn't operate for a while on a fee-free basis in order to sign accounts). If you went to VC investors with a business model like this and asked for much less than 200K (assuming no other source of capital) they should reject you with extreme prejudice because you have no idea what you are doing.

Money often costs too much.
Don't know about Gingercat, but I'm still getting used to my microphone sensitivity. I've reduced it for this week's Missive, hopefully that reduces the amount of "breathing" that comes through. Recording a podcat is harder than expected, especially when you're a dog lover.

You can improvise a pop filter by abusing an embroidery hoop on a swan neck mount, look for that at a light shop. The old Roadie tricks.

That being said....anyone got some good Monero footers I could use for my account

You could also use mine, it is a bit more elegant than the one posted above, but still does the job!

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it
I've spent hundreds of hours reading about Monero, interacting with the Monero community, and assessing how the dev team (especially smooth, fluffypony, and David Latapie) behave towards the community and towards outsiders. I am convinced that they are smart, competent, and honest. Monero was forked from Bytecoin because of righteous indignation at their ninja-mine scam. The Monero community crystalized around the idea that Monero would be different. And because of that, it is and will be. This may be difficult for newcomers to appreciate and may come across as moralistic trolling. But in actuality it is having high standards and holding others to the same standard.

Im a big Dash/Drk trader and have traded many others...Although I must say that I wasn’t excited about the way the 1 or 2 XMR devs handle themselves in that thread and a few others,  after much reading and research, I do believe this project has great great potential. Im actually really excited to start really taking a bigger position with XMR in my portfolio(sold last BIG pump and caught a small position after the BCX fiasco). I think the main reason why It took me longer to even give the project  a fair research is because some of the devs carried themselves the way they did. Again just giving prospective from a somewhat outsider.

 I know everyone in this thread has their own thoughts on evan...but the one thing that many respect about him is that he is always quiet with the nonsense. Dosent answer to trolls or smear other coins just gives updates and discusses factors and ideas only within the realm of the project. I think theirs something positive to be said about a dev mentality like that. Avoid the nonsense and focus exclusively on the mission.

Again not trying to troll or make anyone sour. Like I said .....anyone who actually reads and researches into this project can see the amazing work going on here in Monero. Im excited to be taking a bigger position and look forward to trying to help the community in anyway possible. Just wanted to vent some views/opinions from an outsider coming in. I think we could suck alot more people in to this awesome project if we stopped putting out a bad taste in peoples mouths. Either way excited for the future of Monero!

That being said....anyone got some good Monero footers I could use for my account

Glad to see you. Not sure about what DEV you mean was trolling. Sometimes there are out of control supporters which I've never seen a dev support but there has been alot of mudslingng going on so I wouldn't be surprised if a correction post was worded poorly. Smiley

Anyway Glad to see you and wish I had not bought at the peak before BCX and waited till the rock bottom (which was minblowingly low!) bargain basemenet probally never to be seen again price.

This may be difficult for newcomers to appreciate and may come across as moralistic trolling. But in actuality it is having high standards and holding others to the same standard.

This is all true but it is understandable when the standard of behavior in this community is so low it is: a) hard to believe, and b) of no use for us to state it because on one believes it anyway (and reasonably so). It's more reasonable in some objective sense to see this project as just another one of many scams than to believe it really is different.

So we will just carry on with the project and actions will speak louder than words (if more slowly). If you've been around since last year you can see that the amount of attacks against the project and core team are actually a lot lower now, I think a small indication that the message is getting through. It won't reach everyone immediately (or even perhaps eventually) though, nor do I expect it to.



After months of watching this coin I saw this truth, as the saying goes "Actions speak louder than words", and this teams actions speak volumes.
