On the GUI, many in the broader user community may find the the third party GUI developed by Jojatekok to be sufficient. He's continued to put a lot of work in and definitely has a following. I can't try it myself because I'm a Windows free zone, but I would encourage others to test and give him constructive feedback.



Excuse my laziness, but do you have a link for this handy?

Thanks

Funny how Bitshares just fly's past $100 million yet Monero seems to be stuck at being a small timer...

I am curious to see where bitshares ends up in a week or two.
BitShards.  might take more than a week or two, but you never know.

Hi, I just posted this over in the altcoin observer thread:

Can someone please have a look at this link and analyse it for us?

I recently came across this on the exchange poloniex chatbox because many users are saying how Bitshares has real anonymity and this does away with any need for Monero.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/titan-infographic-transfer-invisibly-to-any-name-bitshares-feature-687251

I want to know, is this for real? Or BitShares FUD?

It is a version of stealth addresses which is only part of the privacy solution in Monero. It provides unlinkability but not untraceability.

Furthermore it is my opinion that the basis for Monero (or any other reasonable coin) as a coin is infinitely more sound than BTSX. But that is just my opinion, do your own analysis and reach your own conclusions

Tortoise and the hare, my friend.  

BTSX appears to have been the beneficiary of a Chinese pump.  I've seen these end badly.  Doesn't mean you can't play it if you are nimble, skillful.  I'll stick with the micro-cap crypto-currency with features that make it a natural enemy of some of the most powerful interest groups on the planet.  BTSX is too risky for me, in comparison.

Speaking of marketing, who else thinks looking into this might be a good idea (to reach the normal people who find this forum gives them hives)?

I think it is premature to promote XMR to the broader user community.  Wait until the DB work is done and the core functions of the GUI wallet are in place.

Definitely DB, and definitely network improvements.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
What about BTCD?

BTCD is 'I Can't Believe It's Not Monero!'

'Dark Teleport' is something entertaining from Star Trek (campy sci-fi), not a useful description of the underlying technology.  Anon is a hard problem; since BTCD can't clearly and succinctly name and explain what breakthrough concept and/or algorithm allows it accomplish anon, just stick with the real thing.

With making offline wallets, is it fine if I continue to use older binaries?
My current offline computer is 32-bit, (upgrading in a few weeks) and I wanted to make sure that generating my .bin.keys is -always- fine to do on older binaries. Huh
My offline computer is still using binaries dating pre-mnemonic passphrase

let me know

PS: Dev Donation coming soon  Tongue
Keep up the good work! Grin

You can still use the old wallets and they are still recoverable (even pre-mnemonic) but I do recommend the mnemonic version -- much, much easier to secure your wallet for all time.

XMR is the sweet, creamy butter of anon, made by happy organic cows. 
XC is Promise margarine, a brand of fake butter. 
Cloak is Country Crock, full of nasty hydrogenated stuff. 
Like all cheap imitations, they're best avoided.


LOL ..

Better check those "happy organic cows" 
Whatever you're feeding them is giving them a bad case of bloat
I've got some 'fake butter' that will fix that problem  Grin Wink Grin

Triff ..

Who cares?
Come over to XC coin, we've got a great community with lots of exciting developments in the works!
How does the XC anonymity feature trump the one of XMR?
I think I can safely say that XC holds a lot of "promise".

I'm just a bit concerned that this is a brand of margarine.

Good analogy!

It's probably much less expensive than a Monero booth at TC Disrupt!   Cool

I've updated to the latest bitmonerod and simplewallet and now when I try to exit the bitmonerod (with the exit command) it just hangs and I have to manually close the window causing me to have to resync every time I reopen. I deleted the poolstate and p2p files, and the issue still persists. I'm running Windows 64-Bit, any workarounds for this? Thanks!

Can you use the save command? If so use that before force exiting.

Just wanted to say thanks, this worked for me. Appreciate the help!
