Great potential for Monero.  Those sort of DNA tests you would want done anonymously, if not it could have dire consequences.  Quite likely that anyone who has one of these tests perfomed today has their DNA stored in some kind of a Database (illegaly) which could have consequences ranging from Health insurance implications to possible criminal charges based on DNA.  We all know how America treats its citizens privacy.

Anonymous cotton swab sent with anonymous XMR payment and an anonymous email address or postal box for results.

I had the same issue. This is what I did.

This is in no way an official method but it worked for me.

Make sure you backup your files before you do this.

What I did was use version 8.8.4 to open the keys file.  I copied the .keys file into the directory that had the 8.8.4 daemon and simplewallet.  I then launched the daemon and waited for it to sync.  After it synced I opened the .keys file in simplewallet.  The simplewallet returned "unable to connect to daemon" and there was some red errors in the daemon window and would not sync.  I then typed save in simplewallet and it created a .bin file.  I was then able to open that wallet file in the latest version 8.8.6 and voila! I had access to my coins.



  

When the wallet will support enough features, I have no doubt the darknet community will adopt Monero.
Just wait.

I think POS would serve a purpose if it was the end result after long periods of POW for distribution. It is to be seen whether miners mining strictly for tx fees will be enough to support the network.

My suggestion for an easy to set-up, and probably quite profitable XMR business:  Set up an offshore site which will interpret your genome.  In the U.S. businesses like 23 & Me will provide you with data on your genetic markers from a swab, but the FDA forbids them to report on your genetic risks.  It is easy to automate the process of generating a report from the data.

I don't think POS solves anything.  POS has plenty of it's own flaws. 

I am a strong proposer of turning Bitcoin into a pure POS coin! 
Seriously, BTC is doomed due to it's ASIC mining monopolys. And some other facts.

I'll be there! 

You can read all about it in their thread, please don't bring it here.

How am I spinning anything?

This doesn't really belong in the XMR thread so this will be the last time I reply to this subject in this thread.

Maybe because it would be a betrayal to just radically change BBR like that.  Many of us don't care for POS coins.    

How does CZ working on another project negatively effect his work on BBR?  Do XMR devs work only on XMR?  No they work on other things to generate an income.  That's what CZ is doing and he's fortunate to be able to work on a project based on BBR code.  He's brought in another developer as well which is something that people have been concerned about.  I see more good than bad but you can spin it anyway you want I suppose.

I can't speak for CZ so I'll quote him instead.

I for one hope Monero never goes to ASCI, I think this keeps it fair for all miners.  Lets all of us have a shot at producing some coins.  Hopefully this will attract folks that don't have lots of disposable income to want to mine.  Many newcomers can't afford to build or buy rigs that can cost $2k -$10K like some of the Scrypt based ASCI rigs can cost.  The big mining operations generating BTC have made it hard for beginners to generate any coin just from CPU or GPU mining alone without substantial hardware investment.

I've been lucky to have some extra income to build a nice multi GPU rig but if I didn't have the extra income I could still use my CPU and GPU on my computer to mine at least a little coin.  With prices so low on XMR right now any beginner should just buy and hold IMO.  I wanted to mine because I love building computers and tweaking settings.  I've bought and mined a good bit of XMR since August.  Of all the coins out there right now Monero has some if not the best Dev team in the field.  I have been involved since July and I have been very happy with the development that has taken place.  Privacy is very important to me as well and XMR fits just right for my needs.  I know this coin is going to rise in price, popularity, acceptance and become more accepted as we move into the future.

I do want to thank the Dev team for all their hard work. They have done a great job putting info out about the development and also a good job in stopping the DDoS attacks and shutting trolls scum that have tried to wreck the coin.

I hope to see you all at the future XMR party when XMR hits $1000

This is good. Botnet is gone. Legit miners can accumulate coins now.

If CZ wanted a CN coin which is POS instead of POW why wouldn't he switch BBR over to POS?  Poor BBR bagholders.

A few days ago it was ~21.
Price is killing miners.

Thanks.

Someone should really make a monero based drug market
