Will there be a Missive Today/Tonight?

Muther of fuckery. When the Alphabet Agencies get wind of this then a shit storm will ensue. I would expect it to occur on the first sale of something incriminating and juicy for the media.

EDIT: as per a commentator: Unless the Disseminator of the info can be validated then all kinds of false releases will occur for the quick buck.

welp, its not like we have any control over who uses the currency. Its only a matter of time (if slur.io gets off the ground) before people realize that bitcoin is easily traced and they start looking for alternatives.

Interesting application of cryptocurrency though.

I would argue that it is a beneficial, pro-social application, and would make XMR awareness grow within an important, activist demographic.

I don't know if this will help, but sometimes my executables end up in a /bin directory.

are your wallet files backed up on a USB key? And you should be able to rebuild your wallet based on the mnemonic seed, right? Even for your original wallet. 

Not sure if the association with such a thing would be worth it. Bringing XMR into this kind of mix would only create a bad image for the coin.

Yet another showcase where Monero could safe-the-day by preserving anonymity: http://slur.io

I switched to Ubuntu 14 which didn't have this issue.
However now my wallet.bin and then wallet.bin.keys don't seem to work, and there are around 100XMR on here(after I lost around 200XMR from this exact same issue when upgrading versions few months ago).
Here is the output of simplewallet.log:
You had been using a deprecated version of the wallet. Your wallet file format is being upgraded now.

Same issue still, I tried both the seeds you posted.
This is the correct command for Linux?
./bitmonerod --seed-node 74.192.120.8:18080
The window I run this in stops responding to any command, even Ctrl C or killall, so print_cn does not work.
Tried to run another ./bitmonerod print_cn
but it fails and says it can't start as the IP address is now in use.

Also I tried building from source, the README.md from github says:
**Basic Process:**

* To build, change to the root of the source code directory, and run `make`.
* The resulting executables can be found in `build/release/src` or `build/debug/src`, depending on what you're building.

However I'm unable to find any executable anywhere after a successful make.

I've mined around 600XMR since the start and have been able to spend only half of it, if I lose this wallet, I'm done with XMR for good.

Where can I download 0.8.8.4 for windows?
I need to update my wallet files, 0.8.8.6 does not work with wallet.bin.keys.

No that is just fine. You have only 4 outputs, so no issue at all with needing too many to spend your coins.


At this point I wouldn't worry about it unless you personally are concerned about these particular transactions being traceable. For the most part it probably doesn't really matter to you, especially since no one can find them even if they have your public address (unless you provide a txid).

If you do want to make them untraceable, then send to another wallet with a mix factor of at least 3. The higher the better for untraceability (more possible alternate sources are added) but at the cost of making the transaction bigger and therefore higher fee.

They have a support ticket system. I would start there.

Did you try the --seed-node options I posted? With or without a stored blockchain, you still need to be able to connect the p2p. That requires either seed nodes or a valid p2pstate.bin file.

Try the "print_cn" command to see if you have any connections. If you have none, then you are having a problem connecting. That might be seed node related, or perhaps firewall/security software.

mainly, I was wondering what you plan to do when you get filled? or in a fast market rising or falling

PM me

I can at least double the liquidity

Thanks for the help smooth.
I'm now running into the same issue as before.
I first tried with no blockchain download, and it halted on
Can't load blockchain storage from file, generating genesis block.
For hours and also refused to be killed using sudo killall bitmonerod
I downloaded the blockchain and now I get this with the same issues as above.

Then stops there and stops using resources, have left it there for over an hour.


This is a high end system with 16GB of RAM.
I made sure it wasn't an issue with the system by running fantomcoind which had no issues.

Ideally, we would use market making bots of our own specifications, but I'm no good at programming unfortunately.

well yes, but there could be a general market making strategy we could be following. Or an algorithmic approach we could program

Just add more bids in BTC and add more asks in XMR. 

How do I get my daily poloniex withdraw limit increased?

I don't have enough on Poloniex right now to get that message pop up, but I've seen it before. Who do I email?

I would be wiling to add liquidity to Poloniex, how can I help?
