Fellow XMRs,

I recently had close to 6 figures in XMR. I used to be in love with this coin. I have sold it all, pending regaining confidence.

One of the reasons I lost confidence was the desperation I am seeing in the figure heads of the XMR community - the epitome of which is in desperate scared nonnsensical threads like this one ---> https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/is-it-possible-to-destroy-monero-xmr-771925

I would hope that the leaders in this community would talk to and reign in your "spokespeople" who are giving this coin a HORRIBLE reputation. The fear mongering and arrogance that is thinly masked insecurity is depressing. Please think about taking this coin in a different PR direction. Thank you.

You've lost confidence in the coin/team because of people outside the team?

Interesting.

I'm quite amazed how weak a hand you are, to be so influenced by people that are not actually on the team of that coin. I and rpietila are not apart of this coin any more that we are "spokespeople" for bitcoin. I am hoping this isn't a FUD campaign just as you start your marketing campaign for BBR

EvilDave -

this week I am going to start organizing a BBR marketing committee/group with a PR gameplan. I know you are busy with Nxt PR but I'd love to see if there are some ways we could cross promote BBR and NXT.

I do think with Teleport+CryptoNote we have the opp to have the strongest anon coin in the world. It would benefit everyone if we work together. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks

Jon

If the Monero command-line client is not something you'd like to use, then use one of the GUIs as linked in our OP.

I'd like to use something that will work. I don't care command-line client or GUI! Before this mess with wrong fork i can easy use command-line client & GUI!
Now i don't know what i can do with my dead XMR Wallet... Angry

Uh, the fork patch doesn't touch the wallet code. You can use the old wallet binary with the current daemon binary if you'd like. Literally nothing has changed in the way the wallet works in the last two weeks.

I am somewhat gratified to hear this. It explains most of the selling, and it means the coins are in more stable hands. You always have been a tad...excitable. If you panic buy back it should mean a fair bit of incremental demand. I shall have to frontrun that...sorry.

It's not irony. It's misunderstanding.
You probably was confused when someone convinced you to invest money into CN-based project(or you decided it by yourself) - this is not bitcoin-fork with mature life cycle, this is brand new, developed from scrach software that has a lot of work ahead. Every one who at least little familiar with software development should realize what does it mean, esspecially for software related with security. The problem is that you've missed this fact.

And after an about half year of public run there was found first critical bug that was unfortunately used to exploit with Monero network... (and this is sad, i could understand stress that was felt by all involved in xmr people), but this quality indicator many many times higher than bitcoin development has.
Yeah, it's yet enother good chance to blame CryptoNote devs, but i really doubt that any of XMR devs had done their own cryptocurrency, written from scratch and worked fine. (okay, almost fine Wink

).

I've been involved in the writing of one from scratch in Golang, and have talked with many developers with decades of experience about the reference CN code and all of them think that is is both insane (using C functions for a distributed consensus network) and intentionally obfuscated.

Quote

The only problem of CryptoNote codebase is that it's undocumented and don't have comments in code... well, that's true. But this is very different from "unbelievably messy codebase intentionally made scammy, buggy, unoptimized". (And don't take into account CryptoNight PoW hash function since it was really suspicious code, and i also agree about C-code, never understood why people use "C" when this is potentialy buggy language? ).

Yes, well, about 35% of the codebase in in C!

Quote

Compared Bitcoin-based projects and CryptoNote technology it's the same as compare say "ford focus", that is good well-known car, and Tesla-prototype, that has bright ideas, a lot of work behind it, but still not perfect, without instructions and documentations, with a lot of work ahead and unfortunaley with some new bugs there.

So it is not a CN fail, it was just your own choice. That i believe is good choice.

PS: I didn't meant that current Tesla is buggy and without instructions and documentation - i used it juse as an example of something new.

Just my 2 satosi. Sorry for late post.

This is a poor comparison. In many ways the reference codebase is much, much worse than the reference bitcoin daemon codebase at launch. The iterative tree-hash function is just one example: they could have much more easily written a function that recurses and always a valid result, a la the one given in Bitcoin, however, they chose a (marginally faster given tx volume) iterative function that was buggy (and I think is still buggy, there's another overflow around 5000 tx if I remember right). Also the size_ts all over the place were bound to end in tears (as has been recently shown...).

Even Bitcoin didn't use awful non-cross platform BOOST serialization for storing data, which was another totally nuts design decision. Most of the code I like in the CN codebase wasn't written by them, e.g. the EdDSA reference implementation.

Hi guys, finally got my Monero wallet setup and familiarized with it, so I'm wondering if any of you may be interested in some high quality commeriserative memorabilia?

Nothing really happens... Sad

I can't to make new XMR Wallet ... I don't know what i have to do really with this?
Can somebody help me with this or you prefer to continue talk about
"An Elephant in the room"?
It's much more pretty interesting i understand it so clearly... Sad

I'm not understanding what you're trying to do. If the Monero command-line client is not something you'd like to use, then use one of the GUIs as linked in our OP.

I was angry with my monero
I told my coin, my coin did end.
I was angry with my investment
I told it not, my investment did not grow.

And I covered it in dark.
Night and morning with my sweet code
And I sunned it with super network
And with soft deceitful hash rate.

And it grew both day and night,
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine.
And he knew that it was mine,

And into my garden stole
When the night had veiled the pole;
In the morning glad I see
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.

i hate you btcd

what do you think ?

Works for me. Copy/paste what happens when you try to type 'exit'.

Could be a problem with your setup rather than the wallet.

I've updated to v0.8.8.3 on Win7-64bit, download new blockchain.bin
Open bitmonerod.exe
"Sync data returned unknown top block: 206081 -> 207580 [1499 blocks (1 days) behind]
SYNCHRONIZATION started" That's all. EXIT doesn't work.
Open simplewallet.exe but it freezes after enter of password.
I have try to make new XMR Wallet, but simplewallet.exe also freezes after enter of password. What i did wrong or something wrong with NEW monero.win.x64.latest.zip (NEW blockchain.bin)? Huh

I've updated to v0.8.8.4 on OS X 10.9.4 (via Homebrew), and it sync'd nicely. Great work!

I intermittently get this message: "[P2P3][sock 21] Some problems at write: Broken pipe:32". (The sock # varies.)

I was getting the same error message on v0.8.8.3, but I don't recall seeing it before the past week or two.

Is it related to the attack? Is my local copy of the blockchain corrupted? Or is this nothing to worry about?

No it's ok. One of many peers just go down or have connection problems.
