As well as mercenaries. lol.

The monero road map is a nice addition.

Thanks.  Your research is posted directly above ^^^

--  There is a new website: http://www.getmonero.org
     This features updated design
     There are sections for missives, a blog, the forum, and a work in progress knowledgebase
     There is a new design and research goals plan with a graphical map:  http://getmonero.org/design-goals/
     The website is open and stored in the git repository and the devs are welcoming community contribution

-- There is a new research paper at  http://lab.monero.cc
     MRL4 - http://lab.monero.cc/pubs/MRL-0004.pdf
     The idea is they are researching anonymity vs mixin levels and how this can be improved.  This is a furtherization of MRL 001
     They talked about unlinkability (dual key stealth addressing) and untraceability (ring sigs) ... two different things.
     They talked about disallowing a 0 mixin transaction except under special circumstances and dust removal in relation to this problem.  This could involve a hard fork where mixin 0 or 1 transaction would not be allowed into the blockchain.

--  Age based associations (temporal associations):  There is also new understanding that it is possible to determine the age of coins moved in some circumstances.  The info is based on the way inputs are chosen.   This problem is less important than the MRL 004 problem, and very simple.  The risk is basically Panic when early coins are detected as being moved.

--  Towards the end of the talk they highlight the design and development goals I mention above ^^^  http://getmonero.org/design-goals/

-- They discuss how important it is to have libraries finished for 3rd party implementations for things like iOs/Android etc so not only can the wallet be coded well, but others can develop apps etc via these tools.

-- They defend the slow development pace (<-that is semi editorial) by saying they are still carefully laying groundwork for an enterprise grade product as opposed to trying to just make things like wallets. For example the library development as opposed to a WALLET NOW.

I am a native english speaker, but I just don't like podcasts...thankfully we have some good samaritan monero transcriber people here

There was never a rationale drop either, so who cares? BCX makes an empty threat and the price tanks--meanwhile the fundamentals get better: db testing, mymonero, xmr.to, new forum(s)..... Turn about is fair play. If it goes back to pre-timewarp, I'm satisfied in the re-evaluation, and if it goes higher, I'll consider it a factoring-in of the improvements, usability and a nice bonus to liquidity.  

I disagree. And I believe to be rational too...
There was no official news about development for a long time. There was demand for a better website since now almost a year.
Now we get news, we have a nice website that seems very useful and community-oriented, we can see THIS and know great things are on track. It's very conforting to see the intact motivation going into core development.
Risto's transparent announcement may have its influence on the price but I don't think the last missive should be underestimated.

same here, i personally doesn't like audio missive. I'm not good at listening English, i had to come here in seeking for a detailed text.

Nevermind, it's back.

I think forum.monero.cc just went down... 

On other news: this thread is exploding!

A bug on the forum prevents me to add it, I already created a bug report

For closed-source, I will add a column (this is only for mymonero so far and I will add a mention that it will ultimately be open-sourced). I won't do it with the present BBCode, because this is horrible to edit, Markdown is much better (essentially because you can insert HTML in Markdown)

API/RPC column: it would require more than a yes/no, right? Because not every software would accept any API/RPC

Similarly, I will add an OpenAlias column

Since this is a lot of colum, I will pivot the table, with one column per wallet (instead of one row, presently)

I will correct for cryptonote - mere oversight, when copying/pasting, thanks

Not DB related and Not GUI related? Then no rational price rise.

my conclusion exactly.

Volunteers needed to create subtitles and summary. Effort go here: https://forum.monero.cc/1/news-and-announcements/161/monday-monero-missives-23-february-23rd-2015 (let's make this "moving away from bitcointalk" a reality)

Everyone has their own view-key of "inconsequential stuff," but the price is Risto's endeavor, not a reaction to any great breakthrough in the DB or a shiny new GUI or any other major announcement. But I thought you knew that, so I'm confused as to why you are confused. But maybe you'll be confused why I'm confused to as why you're confused and we'll create a really confused rip in space-time--which would be pretty kick ass if you ask me.

The first thing said in the missive is actually asking the community to contribute by writing down what is said in the missive. So I'm sure you'll be soon able to read a version of it.
 

ok sent.

Im sure someone will make a summary soon and post it.

the missive in audio is ok
but who dont talk english?
you can make a summary???

Great overview! Should go on the monero.cc website, I guess? Some small corrections:

• if not open-source, I would maybe indicate "closed source", as this is a critical thing in crypto currencies (Monero Client .NET and mymonero.com as well, strictly speaking)
• mymonero.com should maybe have dashes for all "binary" flags
• an API/RPC column would be really helpful (only simplewallet, I think?)
• BitKoot's CryptoNoteWallet is graphical
• What makes BitKoot's CryptoNoteWallet "official"?

He should have posted in code, so that copy pasting works.
Same addy as above, but in code:


Thank you Fluffy & Co for this update (even though I'm not much of a fan of the format, I understand why it makes a difference to you).
