Our beloved core team member David Latapie is being considered for the hugely coveted title of Altcoin Gangster.

Nice title fits perfectly with the pump and dump scam of Monero unfolding.

beware newbies before investing!! Better let this one first drop towards normal levels and get some Doge, or plain bitcoin in the mean time

newbies, PLEASE also take a close look at what one of the main players in Monero is posting day in day out: https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/icebreaker-17501

...Who was also exposed as key part of the Hashfast scam (real name Eduardo deCastro) https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/icebreaker-hashfast-employee-381687

90% of his time he spends 'concern trolling' on the DRK/Dash thread with a group of people helping him, while the DRK/Dash market price soars.

ask yourself WHY?...preparing for a Monero exit?  Be very careful, DO YOUR RESEARCH.





Please elaborate more on the fact of how iCEBREAKER is a main player in Monero? He is just an investor in, and supporter of, the coin and the core-team can't prevent him from doing that nor from trolling/fud'ing other coins. If you are seriously looking for the people behind Monero take a look here -> http://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/people . Your post is just a silly attempt in creating FUD and scaring off newcomers to this coin.

First troll in--must mean fear is in the air.  Roll Eyes

there are over ~500 posts in the DRK thread in the last 2 weeks from Monero community with every accusation and slander under the sun FYI.  

Drk is the Milli Vanilli of privacy coins FYI. Most of the people in the Monero community care more about privacy than profits and when they see this pig with lipstick dancing around singing, "We're better than Bitcoin and more anonymous than Monero!" The BS meter spikes and gets some reaction. Good luck when the dam breaks and washes you out of delusionville.

'pig with lipstick'?  why such vitriol towards DRK all the time and flooding the DRK thread, reddit, everywhere with it?  Why are there so many Monero people attacking DRK?   It's in all anon coins interest to work together to build a market, instead Monero spends 90% of its time attacking a totally seperate coin and 0% of DRK is attacking Monero. Why?

Not saying I agree with attacking anothers threads, but as to why? I think Fluffponyza post here is why: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2zufu1/a_great_podcast_by_lets_talk_bitcoin_discussing/cpmjh9y

You are aware 'Monero' is a cryptocurrency right? Not an actual person..

Just checking the basics here..

iCEBREAKER? He's cool, and frankly I very much doubt he is Eduardo deCastro just based on biographical information (though I don't really know). In any case he's hardly "one of the main players" afaik, just one of many supporters, so you're pretty lost here. I probably agree with most of his opinions about DRK though.

I am certainly not a troll. More a white knight protecting crypto lovers from scams

With no rep and no arguments--sure I'll buy that bridge with a side of rainbows.

meanwhile dumping has begun, see you on the other side.

Shield console coming with new cheap power. Its a set top type box for tv and gaming.

If this type of device explodes maybe there could be implications for mining.

Its sitting idle when you are not there using it. Perfect for the network.


WOW!

Right, thats the idea.

Which is why the database build is important - will allow monero to run on tiny devices with little memory (raspberry pie). Next up is the smartminer to run the miner when the device (such as the Shield) is idle. Unfortunately looks like the Shield couldn't hold a full node (damn you blockchain!). But, if you own one, you could just have it mine (though you'd need to have it running a solominer pointed at a pool)

BUT the shield is built on the NVIDIA Maxwell architecture. 256 cores, which is about 1/3rd a 750 ti... so about 112 h/s if things scale by core #.

Shield console will have an sd card slot so it can easily run a full node and hold the blockchain with a $15-20 32 GB card.

It will be a reasonable platform for mining. Low performance but efficient. CPU+GPU both may be feasible .

When the internet of things replaces current models,

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xOK2aJ-0Js (a very quick 10 minutes),

it will need to be private based on the need for DAC's to fulfill orders instantly without a third party being able to intercept drones by way of blockchain analysis. The counter argument would be that security drones would do the dirty work of protecting these drones or drones would use surreptitious routes to avoid being intercepted, but this is terribly inefficient when compared to just having the orders take place on a private blockchain, or misses that the more important the order, the more likely all three methods would be used for security.

You can use some part of bitcoin code and still create a new thing, not a fork.

In software engineering, a project fork happens when developers take a copy of source code from one software package and start independent development on it, creating a distinct and separate piece of software.

By your way, monero is a fork of bytecoin. Isn't it?

Correct. Originally more of a clone with a fair relaunch and some parameter tweaks, but quite diverged by now.

Any plans to give an interview on the Let's Talk Bitcoin network (alt channel so to speak). I just listened to an interview with the creator of DRK/dash and it was interesting to say the least. I would have liked a Monero guy on there to give an opposing/alternaive viewpoint. I think a little debate will help the stronger coin out. I'm in XMR's corner of course, but not reading much these days on its main competitor makes me feel a bit out of touch.

Related, can we ever have a wallet app on e.g. Android, for XMR as opposed to a web wallet- is there anything creative we can do?

IAS

Porting LightWallet to Android seems possible given reasonable inputs of time/effort/skill and/or funding/bounties.

XMR competes with BTC; Darshcoin competes with CLOAK and other shitcoins.

XMR has no serious competition in the 'legitimately trustless privacy-enabling digicash' sector.  Bitcoin, with its high-volume array of 3rd party tumblers/mixers, comes the closest.

Darsh enjoys 1st mover status in the 'scamcoin marketed as privacy-enabling digicash' field.  But its technology is unproven, and outside of the cult (who stand to profit from their Ponzi nodes) not many will trust it for security-sensitive applications.

10000 this, you'll rarely or almost never see any Bitcoin stuff making the slighest hint about Monero, unless the person really likes/understands it, after the scamcoin "bought"(subverted) dashcoin I have enough evidence to support my paranoia that Bitcoins already started to rolling behind the scenes to stop or slow down XMR acceptation. At minimum there is a silent conspiracy to ignore Monero/cryptonote.

They will catch on eventually.  Its unique codebase makes it a good hedge should flaws be found in the Bitcoin codebase.  Should this scenario manifest itself all Bitcoin based coins (DRK/ASH) would be rendered useless as well.

Does anyone know how many fairly unique code bases exist in this crazy altcoin ecosystem?

bitcoin
nxt
monero
ripple (though im not sure its really a crypto currency, you have to decide yourself)
bitshares

These are the only ones i know, can anyone add to this list
The Mini-Blockchain based Cryptonite (XCN).

That is based on the bitcoin codebase, but heavily modified. Quite possibly the most heavily modified bitcoin fork.

LOL to your interpretation!
It uses a finite length blockchain model (the last N blocks), consisting of tx blocks, headers, account tree.. Also 7 different hashing algorithms.
Unless you recall any POW a bitcoin fork, your interpretation is quite unfair.

What do you suppose the first and second copyright notices indicate?
