Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 1136. (Read 4670673 times)

Are we on slack? If not lets make one and start a brainstorming session. The topic should be development funds

Edit - we are on slack - monerofoundation.slack.com

Pm me your email for invites, i think there should not be a problem about privacy for a public foundation

The foundation needs to take care of the shiny stuff. Aka websites and forum.

You make some decent points.

What if we start a kickstarter campaign to make potato salad?
If a guy can gather tens of thousands of dollars for tater salad, we ought to be able to organize a campaign to fund whatever we want.

A new websites is the answer? I am not so sure, but it seems to be the buzz lately.
 
Personally, I shared on my FB page about MyMonero when it launched and offered 1 XMR to any friend who opened a wallet there. It went over like a turd in the punch bowl. I may not have the most tech-savvy bunch of FB friends but I do have some smart & successful friends, some who are in tech and whatnot, and I didn't get a single like or comment. Boo hoo.  Seems we are still pretty far ahead of what I foresee as a nice adoption curve with Monero and crypto in general.

Meanwhile, @pple pay and whatever response g00gle has to it are the latest payment trends. Pay with your phone via NFC.

The Core Devs will tell us "Things take time." Of course, I understand that. But, I do have to agree that some other coins are seemingly more well-organized as a community.

The official forum is a ghost town.

So, I believe we just need to collaborate to get some stuff done as a community, outside of the Core Devs. They are busy.
What do we want to do?

Don't those contradict each other?

Who's going to build the new good looking website and set up a good looking forum? Isn't that what they are working on with the custom forum being built.

I believe some people here are perfectionists, but in an environment such as thing one, temporary things should be put in place until the final design or implementation is achieved(temporary forum, temporary official website design, etc).

Something i wanted to say


Have been an emotional supporter since day one. But the state of affairs in here are pressing me to second thoughts. I mean what exactly is happening here? Mew making their own shitty forum while core team forum is nothing to talk about. No clear idea which website belongs to whom and where should we go to find info. And the prehistoric site designs dont do much to engage anyone.

Where is the community, where are the ideas, what is happening actually?

Only one thing i know, the db is coming and it is coming . Sigh
Dont tell me it is in testing. Where are the repeated requests by the devs to test it


These are harsh but true words. We need to Organise. We need to streamline and stop playing games.

Here is what i want to happen -

Change the mew name to Monero Foundation, the foundation will have voting to select new members, irrespective of their holdings.

Only two groups. The Foundation and the Core Team

We need a new good looking website.
We need a new good looking forum. No scratch experiments. Who got the time for that. Time is of utmost value in these times of competition.

These will be the official sites. The foundation will have a separate site and can have a private forum. Dont need two forums.

The core team needs to clearly define a timeline of things to be developed. They need to stop wasting time and pick up one thing at a time and work collaboratively on it.

To the extent of my knowledge we need the db and then the gui. We should focus on these goals only

Then the question arises of funding - there is no other way but to invite funding. So the real question is why will people fund us. We need a service like mymonero which we can sell shares of. We need to brainstorm some ideas.

All in all a scam called darkcoin is ahead of monero just because they are organized, focused, swift

This is also something they discussed over at discourse recently I don't have the link at the moment but can find it if you wish. Basically they deemed it worth the slight security hit in exchange for increased user experience. Although the forgot password page may not disclose it what happens if you try registering with an email that is already in the system?

My bad, completely missed it and signed up now.

I can't see any outgoing password recovery mails in our MailGun logs; if you used the password recovery form using an email that doesn't exist it will tell you that it's sent a password recovery email even though it hasn't. This is unfortunately a security necessity, otherwise an attacker could use the password recovery form to ascertain what email address(es) are registered.

I just created a new account.
eff it, it was probably a mistake on my part.

FWIW I can login with no problem.

WTF is wrong with https://forum.monero.cc/ ?
 

I can't login, I ask for password recovery, it doesn't work.

That's excellent, shouldn't be too much of an issue to enable it then, if already created for non-js browsers.

Love it, that was a much better user experience.

GTO911: This topic is for monero discussion, there is a marketplace subforum to sell your shitty domains.

Final Drop

And xmrmonero.com, FOR FUCK SAKE!

https://xmrmonero.com/forum/

And been announced, people posted on it. And we even discussed two days ago about the new name.

Yeah, playing a game... What if you posted there instead, mmh?

How about dropping the ransom attempts?

I Dropped the price

I am not apart of the core team, nor have I any close affiliation with Monero. But, I've taken precautions against just that, I'm willing to give free domains (Yes, they are high quality) to anyone wanting to build websites revolving around Monero, simply to combat domain ransoming this early on in the game.

We could put up 10 forums tomorrow or 10 websites tomorrow.  We already have 2-3 of each. Executing is not hard. We're trying to build a consensus here. Consensus is the hard part in an open source project.

It took 7+ months or so to build consensus and finally settle the emission issue, right? And that had nothing to do with any extra work. It was just a decision. So consensus is an area where XMR is struggling a bit. I'm not talking about work or execution
