Monero Core Team

Quote from: owlcatz on September 16, 2014, 03:53:09 PM

Thanks, I guess I missed it, but what is "MEW" btw?

Monero Economy Workgroup

There are two sides of the Monero coin: obverse is the core team, devoted to the technology i.e. coding. reverse is MEW, devoted to the economy i.e. encouraging adoption, business opportunities... Let's extend the metaphor: the edges of the coin are the gray area where coding and economy overlap. The emission curve is in this gray area.

The core team works internally under the collegiality (peer) governance system and externally under the benevolent dictatorship (for life) model. MEW works internally under the weighted voting governance system and has not (at least for now) any external governance system.

The Core team and MEW are independant of each other: none can force the other to change its mind. A vote from the MEW doesn't imply the core team has to abide; in reverse, if the core team asks the MEW to do something, MEW is not obliged to follow suit. Therefore, no one feels like being controlled by the other. If a post seemed to imply that one govering body rules above the other, it would be a misinterpretation.

I hope this will help you understanding it better. For future references, point people to the Community FAQ entry for MEW.

Moderated Monero General Discussion Thread

The same as here, but without the trolls.
This is a new thread, moderated with the monero-extended account so that there will always be one or more moderators here.

If you wish to apply for moderatorship, PM me. Round-the-clock moderation is always welcome.

We had some hiccups with moderation at the beginning but it should revert back to normal. Give it a try. I personally will privilege posting on the moderated thread instead of here.

I enjoy your posts so I'll give the moderated thread one more try. but If I see one more of my posts deleted that is it. Just because you don't like a post you can't delete it if it's not a troll or fud.

So with time warp attack the attacker basically turns his hashing power on and off in a pattern of resonant frequency? Am i understanding this right? I haven’t actually heard the name before but when studying bitcoin years ago i decided against buying in because I imagined this sort of attack. (boy what i mistake, i still bought in relatively early but i wish i had bought in *THAT* early).

This would not be a time warp attack.

A time warper would run hashing power constantly. The blocks would not be advertised to the network until later when they have a chance at chain contention. Basically saving up proof of work to affect difficulty algo or to affect longest chain resolution.

Additional benefits can be gained if you force chain resolution on everyone but your own chain, and confuse other miners to mine your chain, DD0S those that don't, etc.

Its generally very unprofitable with current algorithms and safeguards, and any miner would do better mining the coin.

The privacy you gain is that your ISP (or someone working with your ISP or who has compromised your ISP) can see your traffic and at present identify the transactions you originate (since they were not sent in, thus not relayed). Some may object to others being able to determine you are even running a Monero node (and presently this applies to not only to your ISP but also your peers). Tor or i2p largely fixes these with some caveats about how they can themselves be compromised, Sybil attacked, some issues with traffic analysis, etc.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

quick question about merged mining:

If i mine monero and merge mine with fcn or mcn, am i losing out on potential monero?

Thanks Grin

As i understand for merged mining there are not so optimized miners as are for mining Monero. What you get beside Monero is worth so little, that cant cover that difference.

So i would be better off just mining monero?

I have 8 cores and 4 nvidea 750 ti's, would my best bet be to run 3 cores on monero and run the 4 cards on darkcoin? or can i get away with adding more cores without taking away from the gpu processing??

With most GPU miners you really only need one core for a even a few GPUs, but you will have to tune your own rig to be sure.

How does I2P integration apply to Monero? Can you currently use Tor? What advantages to privacy do you gain from using these? I guess what I'm asking is how much information you broadcast to others if you're not using any thing to hide yourself. Do people here consider it critical to use additional privacy tools?

uh? i've used the same miners i was using on monero only pools without problems, the only difference was that on minergate.com i was getting rejects (~3-4%) while on other monero pools i never got one...

if you do solo miner
"is the only way now to make merge miner"
the problem is
that the blocks you'll find them after a long time
days or weeks if you have hashrate low

there also is at least one pool that support merge mining, check minergate.com

FUN FACT:

... having sold all Bitcoins 2 months ago at 650 US-$ instead of hodling them in nice form of a Monero Bag would have been the better bottomline. Now it's more like 388 US-$ with a strong tendency pointing downwards.
The big picture is disliked by all fractions, be it pro or contra Monero.

You are right, so it's double mistake

Yes, and yes. The last mistake was selling your stack. We have allready worked out that holding Bitcoins is no solution anymore (I assume that is because nobody mines them now anymore. Most mining Rigs have migrated onto new Altcoin algos. BTC always has been about the mining in first place) and there is a spot opening soon for a replacement.
Betting all-in on XMR to jump into that gap with success is a bold move. Leverage your gambling on other base technologies. Like 20$ on the black horse (dark-aynthing), some so called 2.0 coins (I do not, just mentioning for completeness), definitely 30$ on the white horse (CryptoNote variants) and some pennies on Zerocoin/cash since that seems high risk bet.
Good luck!

I was waiting for a 2 months, but nothing positive was happened.. Sold about 5k coins today even at this low price! Now I'm really happy! Bye bye monero!

tomorrow up +400% xd
