Now that we have mymonero.com and MEW voted on the emission curve, it is time to market Monero a bit more. It is still too early for merchants since we don't have a payment processor but we can already prospect individuals.

MEW (what is MEW?) is setting up a Monero Marketing Task Force. For the moment at least, you must be member of MEW to participate (access starts from 50 XMR to become lifetime member). We may consider opening a public thread but nothing for sure - there are arguments both for and against a public thread.

What we are already considering:
- documentation (monerobase.com is a good start)
- contacting important twitters (not pumpers) and writing articles preferrably out of Cryptoland.
- increase our visibilty in the Chinese community. Due the capital flight restrictions in China, Monero is far better than Bitcoin. Sales pitch accordingly.

All right! I might have a wallet running on testnet. If so, here's the address

of course, I got no coins to send. So I'm mining, so we'll see how that goes using the core's miner.

edited to add:

i literally found a block on testnet right after I posted:

[wallet 9vCGsa]: refresh
Starting refresh...
Height 8328, transaction , received 0.053018702159
Height 8328, transaction , received 0.400000000000

Refresh done, blocks received: 1
balance: 17.453018702159, unlocked balance: 0.000000000000
[wallet 9vCGsa]:

so who's got an address I can send to?

or, i could try and send it to the first machine I built this on.... lets see

(edited wallet address to a new address that is working on testnet after utilizing some patch in a fork, and the knife ran away with the spoon)

I just donated the following:

1 XMR to the 1000 USD party fund (if/when XMR reaches 1000 US dollars per XMR)
10 XMR to the 100 USD party fund (if/when XMR reaches 100 US dollars per XMR)
100 XMR to the 10 USD party fund (if/when XMR reaches 10 US dollars per XMR)

So I basically donated 3000 potential dollars for partying

Who said XMR people are boring?

You don't know about this fund? Then check on the official Monero forum (and follow instructions regarding amount and especially payment ID)

Where does the MyMonero.com development team meet up? Would like to get more insight into what they are doing and working on

Try the #monero or #monero-dev channel on freenode. You'll probably get a faster response there.

chainradar has gone south since 364377, which leaves us with exactly zero working block explorers.

I wonder why you guys don't know about https://minergate.com/blockchain/mro/blocks .

so even with the database update, it still takes around 1gb of RAM to run Monero?

currently a 75% improvement but geez cmon

You don't have 1GB of RAM? Are you using a computer from this decade?

I was about to reply to this but then more relevant comments appeared so I don't even need to make a rebuttal, fortunately

Please read again

This shows the DB version using very little memory, well under 1 GB.

Everything on his entire system, including the daemon but also OS processes and whatever else, was using only 700 MB.

awesome thanks! Looking forward this to be released in primetime

okay, running on the testnet now. Hopefully the 15 seconds that I was on the mainnet didn't do any harm.

The blockchains are separate, so if you just run both mainnet and testnet, it'll be fine.

darn thing still says im 103 days behind even though I downloaded and converted the blockchain. Ah well - nothing to do but wait - its sunny outside anyway. Shoulda done this on my ssd.

That means the daemon either did not find the blockchain, or disliked it for some reason. You should have files called data.mdb and lock.mdb in a testnet subdirectory from wherever your mainnet blockchain is. If you were running mainnet before, I suspect you converted the mainnet blockchain, but not the testnet one. Add --testnet to blockchain_converter if you did not do it.

My guess is that the GUI will be released if we have a stable DB, without a stable DB it doesnt make any sense to release it.

Untraceable currency poll: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/untraceable-cryptocurrency-poll-898563

Monero has a comfortable first position (21% more voices than the number 2)

(XMR) Monero (34.1%)

I doubt that anyone is even reading the poll's question.

I read it and I am someone.

Point taken. The question is whether you take my point.

Humblest apologies to smooth and fluffypony for their reception on the SDC thread. Having re-read things there was a lot of good food for thought and I'd be most grateful if you have anything to offer my follow-up questions.
