Monero/XMR Unofficial Distribution Survey

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/10FFq_viVaY_THsToPNEwgTxrBSGVxW1EzeYPHX_2nuQ/viewform?usp=send_form

The goal of this survey is to provide an exactly, up-to-date "rich" / distribution list to the XMR community, mostly for entertainment/observation purposes.

I will admin the user list to avoid any duplicates or fake entries. I will pledge to keep all entries anonymous.

Charts, analysis, and results coming soon - please participate!

Update: Usernames are no longer required, unless you are a "large" holder over 10k. I figure I already know who most of these folks are anyway and nobody will bother faking under 10k. Also, all entries will be kept anonymous.

Results so far based on my manual "guesstimate" list + responses so far:

(45 entries)

OS X binaries have been updated to 0.8.8.2 with the temporary fee hike fix: http://monero.cc/downloads/monero.mac.x64.latest.tar.bz2

Please switch to this version - we will have a permanent fix in the next few weeks that will bring the fees back down.

My impression (as someone who has been around the Bitcoin scene since 2011) is that Bitcoin development is in fact quite stagnant, and increasingly so.

This. I have this feeling too that Bitcoin is resting on its technological laurels and focusing on real life adoption. It seems to be all well and good at first sight, but really it isn't.

The problem with Bitcoin is not technological at heart, it is human.

Also, the bitcoin developers are not adding features that the people want (privacy). Rather, it's much more political/controlling now that big money is involved.

Bitcoin is govcoin now. The media may portray it as anonymous, private, but they are just tricking the noobs. Bitcoin is should not be considered money/cash if your looking for privacy. It should just be considered tokens to add to the biggest public ledger.

I noticed that
goes to show time after time no matter what the application, centralization is a problem.

It should just be considered tokens to add transaction to the biggest public ledger. Using it as money subjects you to financial surveillance. It's the unfortunate truth.

With the biggest Bitcoin players being regulated, it's only a matter of time before there are "white" and "black" coins. Yes, there are mixers. But it's very easy to distinguish which coins were mixed. Until there is a way to mix Bitcoin's securely, without it showing they were mixed, Bitcoin is not fungible. People will always prefer clean coins vs mixed.

i bought a delectable painting for 2000 xmr.

No doubt the painting was very tasteful, but this is not a good use of art. Are acrylics even digestible?

They seemed to be when I was a kid. The yellow tasted nasty. I wonder if it had cadmium in it. Maybe that explains some things about me.

Ok, dude, we are pool ops and we are paying tx fees from our profits. Now, when fee raised 20 times, it's significant impact. We just not ready.
BTW, you can donate to https://github.com/zone117x/node-cryptonote-pool so he will collaborate with devs in order to provide smooth migration for both miners and pool ops when major update to tx fees come.

We will be fixing this in the near future and are sorry for the inconvenience. However, keep in mind that people will also be paying you 0.1 XMR per transaction that you include in your block, so you may actually make more money than lose it by upgrading.

Yeah, I totally forgot about this. Probably valid if you keep txfees. Let's see.

Thanks, guys, for quick strike back.

is there a tx delay due to spam?

Yes there is. There are several hundred spam transactions waiting for confirmation, yours is likely waiting with them.

Your transaction will probably confirm eventually. If not (after 24 hours) you will need to resend it using the updated wallet with increased fee.

Did you send with 0.005 fee? Pool or solo miner with old daemon have to include your low-fee tx in a block. Not all pools updated yet so expect your coins soon.

aside from speculation (exchanges) we have exactly one medical practice and one gambling site.

As well as two contractants: a chef and a servant (although it was only partially paid in XMR).

i bought a delectable painting for 2000 xmr. the artist is paying rent in xmr.

Current tx fees are very low to keep XMR accessible to all users (about 1 cent per 24.4 KB)

There is no known legitimate uses that require low transaction fees to be profitable. I am happy to raise them 5-10 times higher and when someone comes to me giving a factual example how his monero use actually suffers due to the fees, I will support him from my own pocket, considering this as a donation to monero ecosystem.

ADD: It should be blatantly obvious that we don't want to sell 100 GB of blockchain space for $41k. Do the math dudes, for the sake of Monero!
