You can't expect the raise of public usage unless you show people the official GUI. I don't know why is it so late, more than 6 months passed.

We're working on making the software more functional for payment processors and web wallets rather than concentrating on a GUI for the wallet that is attached to the daemon. The vast majority of Bitcoin users do not use full nodes anymore. In fact, only about 700 full nodes even exist on the Bitcoin network anymore.

700

that is shockingly low!

edit: ok, saw your post above Tongue

^ 7000.... you shocked me Wink

Yeah, missed a 0, but the listening hosts are lower (~3-4k).

And, with the current number of tx on the network per day, obviously we have more than this many people making transactions.

The DB works, you can compile the branch and play with it. I'm pretty sure the one below is the correct branch (I haven't been working personally on it).

Great. These are two foundation stones for building broader adoption IMHO. Efficiency (in terms of resources and costs) first, then usability.

I am very much looking forward to M3 #18. Especially keen to see the (lower) per-kb transaction fees, as this should encourage greater trading volume/liquidity.

Further news on LMDB progress would be a bonus.

i find this event quite bullish for xmr... truly a good opportunity for this coin to step up in areas where people might finally realize importance of privacy and witness how easy NSA or governments can confiscate your wealth under pretext of all kinds of bullshit: terrorism, drugs and etc... and i'm not advocating drugs or some other destructive uses but looking at other possibilities like being able to hedge and move or store wealth wherever i am. Case in point: Russia banning foreign currencies and things like that..

It would be foolish not to consider the competitive danger of an "anonymous" cryptocurrency with both a network effect advantage as well as a sable codebase, a working disk based database and a user friendly front end at a time when dark markets are learning they are once again vulnerable because of public blockchains.

100% true. The NSA et all were momentarily confused by the tech behind Bitcoin, but that moment is way past over.

I am not condoning the dark markets in any way, shape, or form..but XMR has a unique opportunity to be "that coin" due to the legitimacy of its devs.

Can you estimate how much of the network hashrate is made by botnets?

Its completely tieing up my network. My average download is 1.8 MB/s for hours (even after the bloackchain is caught up) and the upload isn't looking good either.
This is ridiculous. Roll Eyes

I could stream Full HD movies all day and not use this much bandwidth...

I seriously doubt this is happening after your blockchain is caught up. Most likely something else on your computer is using the bandwidth (maybe a background update downloader). Otherwise something is wrong with your node and we would appreciate your help in debugging it by turning on logging and uploading your log files somewhere.

But most likely it is just not the case. Download bandwidth can be high during syncing and upload bandwidth can be high any time you are providing blocks to someone else who is syncing (usually this happens the most during periods of rapid network growth, so not so much recently). Otherwise I see almost no bandwidth usage on my nodes.

Not with any real confidence, and anyone who claims they can is mistaken or (more likely) lying to you with an agenda (could be for or against Monero).

My opinion is that it is pretty significant, but not as much as some claim ("all botnets"). But I will be the first to tell you that I really have no idea and I'm just guessing. That is all you can do in a decentralized network where miners come and go independently.

Not speaking crypto here: Ever heard of the product, nono?, Well it's practically a "scam", being that it doesn't take your hair off at all, has a 2/5 star rating, and occasional burns it's users. But the marketing of that product has make it's owners millions.

This has been stated many times. The questino is: what should be done to make this coin more popular.
The answer is - Make this coin more usable, add markets so one can buy goods for it
   Make it more user friendly ( GUI wallet )
   Make it visible: youtube facebook cryptocurrency news
Any other ideas?

Get people in this community to become part of other alternative currency communities. That would be #1 on my list.

Monero Changetip? I'd like some anonymous tips Cheesy

This would be nice. Even just IRC or reddit tipbots would be nice, but they would be a pretty big departure from the open source bots that are out there, since I think all of the open source bots use the accounts feature in the bitcoin clone type wallets.

I agree but dark coin has a terrible distribution compared to xmr, with half of the currency controlled by duff. And the master nodes are a point of centralization.

Both true. But Darkcoin excels on their marketing. As does Dogecoin. Shows that marketing plays a huge role in the success of cryptos, this goes for commercial products as well.
