Monero Monday Missives

October 13th, 2014

Hello, and welcome to our fourteenth Monero Monday Missive!

Major Updates

1. The database effort is ongoing, and is currently playing a little bit of catch-up back-porting features and fixes we added to the current codebase.

2. The GUI, too, is progressing at a slightly reduced pace. We hope to update the preview binaries in the next week or two.

3. We are working hard on solving the static build issues to tag and release updated binaries. If you require any of the more recent features it is compile-only at this stage.

4. We are happy to announce that per-kb fees is going to be deployed to testnet over the next couple of days. Barring any major complications, we expect positive testing results, and are hopeful that mainnet can move over to per-kb fees within the next two weeks.

5. A few other things undergoing testing are: parallel support for MSVC 2013 as a build environment, minor tweaks and improvements to the new mnemonic system whereby English words now match on the first 3 letters and not the first 4, asynchronous DNS checkpointing, and support for long / blob hash checkpointing on both the file and DNS side.

Dev Diary

Build: initial work has started on reworking the CMake environment so that it is consistent and extensible. This will reduce build issues further down the line.

Core: per-kb fees are done, and are being deployed to testnet. If you are mining on testnet you don't have to update to that fork/branch, as we want to see more real-world results with both fixed-fee and per-kb miners.

Core: documentation continues, with Doxygen comments now added to the serialisation functions

Core: DNS checkpointing is now asynchronous, and doesn't prevent blocks from being received (in testing)

Core: file and DNS checkpoints now also support blob hash (longhash) checkpointing (in testing)

Wallet: mnemonic lists now support a variable trim length (instead of the previous fixed trim length). English is 3, the rest are 4, and the old English wordlist doesn't really conform to the trim length rule (in testing)

Until next week!

Could someone please point me in the direction of instructions for how to perform the equivalent of the below for monero?

The line below doesn't seem to return the commands I would expect.

Thanks.

There are many in fact, I'm privy to a few.
But pre-announcements are not always helpful to completion of offerings.
You'll have to wait for specifics on works-in-progress (at least for my efforts), but maybe someone else wants to talk about theirs?

Correct. Also, the time stamps come from pools (in the case of pool mining) and given that most of the mining is currently on pools, if one or two pools have the their clocks set wrong, there will consistently be blocks with incorrect timestamps. This is normal and harmless.

Although not required, if you are running a pool, it is probably better to enable NTP and avoid this issue.

Are there any work in progress XMR in-use services except Crypto Kingdom?

Give him some harder questions dude.

As I understand it the time stamps are from the miners.  Being that every miners' clock is not in sync causes this.  It has no effect on the network.

Did I pass the test?

May be so, but I'm weighted sufficiently in Monero. I just wanted more to average down more.

2.85mBTC is cheap, even 3.5mBTC is cheap. I think we have a good time to buy more.

It's 0.0028x still... :-)

Come on, coins are still cheap.

and say i missed that too.....

Devs - are these minor issues, business as usual?



block timing out of sequence
blocks with the same time stamp

They seem to be within the boundaries of acceptability. Just wondering, just in case.

(not posted here in any particular order)

I missed it too. Congrats to whoever was able to buy at that price

2.3 BTC @ 0.00276 when I wanted to buy into it.

It was 2.7 btc around 0.0028x. There is another one at around 0.00296 at polo.

wait how big was that wall? I missed it

No. Buying around 0.0028 right now.. hope I get a good bunch of coins before the up-surge starts.

Are you selling for 0.0027 ?

I got another couple, hope it picks up a bit soon.
