Can BTC dev team add ring signatures without having to fork?

It will be interesting to see whether Bitcoin can adopt CN functionality. It would a win for privacy and freedom, but bad for my XMR investment: http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2oh7vq/toward_unlinkable_bitcoin_transactions_andrew/

I made a very simple Windows miner for noobs :

You don't need to know anything, you basically click on a button.
It is for CPU + NVIDIA GPU only at the moment.

There is no virus but a false positive (minerd + ccminer). You must add an exception in your antivirus.

It can be implemented as side-chains.

This is the reason Monero has many chances of catching up in the future, there is no way Bitcoin will be hardforked to add ring-signatures by default, as satoshi himself said, its already set in stone (the code).

we badly need some explorer, chainradar is out there but there used to be a better one called monerochain.info and it disappeared a few months ago.

something nice with charts and stats like transactions per day, hash, difficulty, etc.

I really liked to read that discussion on reddit, thanks for sharing.

Privacy is important for many applications
Do people want to do business using a currency that lets their competition see their customers and their supplies purchases? Where everyone can figure out their payroll or margins?

Likewise, for your personal life... do you want your landlord knowing when you got a raise? The grocery clerk knowing your net worth (and calling in some cat burger friends?). Your neighbours gossipping that you don't give enough to your church or that you spend too much on porn?

In the Bitcoin ecosystem itself, the lack of privacy is a grave systemic risk... Miners can distinguish transactions and discriminate in their processing, and doing so gives them a degree of control over the system which they ought not have, and wouldn't have if transactions were more private.

So, sure, there are also applications for increased transparency using Bitcoin, but you can always layer more transparency on top of a more private system... but not the other way around.

Reddit spends too much time listening folks with fairly extreme political views who view Bitcoin as a tool for advancing those views. I'm glad lots of people find Bitcoin interesting, but those things aren't my interest, and as a tool it can be used in many ways. The tool of privacy is important to everyone, to companies, to individuals, and even to the governments that represent them. Privacy can prevent crime, improve fairness and quality, and generally elevate the human condition. It's a value that everyone can support and a feature that everyone demands, even if they aren't always thinking about it.[/b]

Mining with 600h/s is not a "huge" loss... Them trolls....

I think it's 600 H/s

You should really switch onto another coin, sell them, buy XMR from revenue. If it is on offer below your mining costs, you can cheaper buy instead of self mining XMR. Dont ask me where the miners are that can produce below your power costs, I dont know your local cost structure.
Just my 0.02 XMR opinion  

wait I am confused

You used to be the biggest xmr troll and dark coin supporter, no question about it and you didn't try to hide it you and icebreaker both if I remember correctly

do you like monero now or something?

Why can't people with less than -1 trust just be instantly banned?

No action in monero-dev for some time now, what are you f.. talking about.. Oh,  amonth ago onishin, fr pool owner, refused to update to the latest version because the code was so fucking broken.. Anyway, I mine at 600KH/s - at a huge loss. If i stop now, the network is almost completely at the mercy of the botnet herders..
