My thought on the daily fluctuation of the network hashrate is that there is someone or some people that are in control of a large number of nodes, be it a commercial and/or educational and/or governmental organization(s), and these nodes are typically only powered on during normal business hours.

Could also be the exact opposite, where they are set up to mine outside of normal hours.

Very true, depending on time zone.

On XMR Network Hashrate Fluctuations and Suspected Botnets:

My thought on the daily fluctuation of the network hashrate is that there is someone or some people that are in control of a large number of nodes, be it a commercial and/or educational and/or governmental organization(s), and these nodes are typically only powered on during normal business hours.
So, while there is a rumor of it being due to botnets, I do not necessarily believe that it can all be attributed to traditional zombiefied nodes spread throughout a large geographic region.
Rather, it could be business machines whose administrator(s) are keen to utilize their nodes for mining.

I can see this being the case, when I was in college last year, I noticed that every single computer I sat at had the folding app, set to fold on idle. It was very neat to see.

free is relative depending on when you mined your xmr...........

... and with what hardware!
I started mining XMR rather early, but only with one (i7) CPU.
Believe me or not, I got more XMR from daytrading than from mining. Now I try to build up something with the income from sig campaigns.

yeah after checking the paper i have the feeling he prefers monero Grin

I just did a quick search and the most important part on this subject is:

I am willing to do the work it takes to implement the above on any given
Cryptonote-based coin, be it ByteCoin, Monero, Boolberry, Dashcoin, etc. I am
willing to be paid in the currency itself since I believe this will greatly increase
its value. Please contact me at the email at the start of this document to discuss
further logistics, payment details, etc.

As usual, nothing comes for free...

Did you vote in the [Poll] What anonymous coin will succeed?. A lot of other coins supporters are voting lately.

Woah! Last time I've checked XMR was not doing this great! I'm lovin' it

kinda cool.... I mean, I think he should n a t u r a l l y choose to build it on monero, but does he need encouragement?

For start, let's ask him gently which coin he has in mind...

Someone wants to implement a contract protocol on top of Monero:

Quote

Ive designed a very specific technical implementation to add trustless, tradable, contracts on the Cryptonote prototcol.

The whitepaper can be downloaded from Google drive

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B75gaqtEgDR8UHU2UVJ6TkYzMnRkdFFsbklBd3hVMDV1eDQw/view?usp=sharing

I am looking to implement this very soon on one of the existing Cryptonote coins.

Looking for suggestions, criticisms, anything that will facilitate this implementation. Unlike most other suggestions or whitepapers I have the full technical ability and experience to implement these changes. I don't want to deal with the prospect of launching a new coin, nor should I have to as these changes would only improve the features of an existing Cryptonote coin.

Plenty of open groups have membership fees.

Exactly. That's what I was saying. You have to pay to join MEW to exclude votes from the enemies of XMR.

It doesn't matter what the reason might be. Such groups can and do reasonably charge membership dues, which are used to fund the operation and programs of the group. Anyone can join and the minimum membership level is quite accessible.

What exactly is the relation between https://xmrmonero.com/ and https://forum.monero.cc/? Which one is worth joining?

xmrmonero.com is a MEW project and is not a core team project (that is not to say that we don't support it or contribute to it or whatever).

The only sanctioned, official forum is forum.monero.cc

To expand a bit about MEW for those who may be new, MEW = Monero Economy Workgroup, an open membership group that supports and promotes Monero adoption. Anyone can join. You can find out more on xmrmonero.com or https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/monero-economy-workgroup-the-mew-thread-776479

Not true, you have to pay to vote which precludes the term open.

Nonsense. Tell that to the women who want to join men only golf clubs. Open means they can - it doesn't mean they get in without paying.

are those the txids that bittrex gave you to deposit to?

usually with exchanges, if you want to deposit XMR, they provide a payment ID (transaction ID, txID) - that way, when the XMR comes in, they know where it should go (I guess).

If you just picked a random txID and sent from polo -> bittrex, bittrex doesn't have that txID, so they don't know what they're looking for.

Have you tried sending those txIDS to bittrex?

thanks for the reply, I have sent those txIDs to bittrex.

lol Cheesy

btw, is http://monero.wikia.com/ the official monero wiki?

No, it's just something we use for aspects related to protocol and design development.

Can we setup wikimedia on monero.cc or xmrmonero.com (i see a wiki page there but it doesnt show me anything) so we can start adding info? Then, when time comes, you guys can do whatever changes you want but some articles will be ready...

As a gentle reminder, I setup a wikimedia wiki at https://monerobase.com . But, it appears that official team members are setting up their own wiki's and directing people there.

If that's what the community prefers, I'll shutter mine and maybe try something else. I'd like to help the community, but there's no sense in maintaining something that is better served by MEW or the official site.

that looks fantastic!

its the best looking monero info website, xmrmonero would be much better with this design.

Yeah dude, I'd stick with it. It looks great. I think the more sites the better. Some people like one design, some like others. Good to have choices. Just keep it up to date. Perhaps one thing to try and get goin is some kind of info feed, such that a single push gets it out on all avenues.

Quote

MEW stands for Monero Economy Workgroup and had its own thread, Monero Economy Workgroup

There are two sides of the Monero coin. Obverse is the core team, devoted to the technology i.e. coding. Reverse is MEW, devoted to the economy i.e. encouraging adoption, business opportunities… Let's extend the metaphor: the edges of the coin are the gray area where coding and economy overlap. The emission curve is such a gray area.

The core team works internally under the collegiality (peer) governance system and externally under the benevolent dictatorship (for life) model. MEW works internally under the weighted voting governance system and has not (at least for now) any external governance system.

The Core team and MEW are independant of each others: no group can force the other to change its mind. A vote from the MEW doesn't imply the core team has to abide; in reverse, if the core team asks the MEW to do something, MEW is not obliged to follow suit. Therefore, no one feels like being controlled by the other. If a post seemed to imply than one govering body rules above the other, it would be a misinterpretation and should be replied to by pointing to this FAQ entry.

Any one who wants to join PM me (not because I am a core dev, but because I am the member executive of MEW).
