Back on topic, a question from the cadmium induced drooling masses.  For the update, all I need to do is download it and it will replace the files that need to be replaced automatically with nothing else needed to be done on our part?

Would be better if you deleted poolstate.bin after you shutdown the daemon and before you start it up again. If my understanding is correct, you will have hundreds of spam transactions in your mempool and you would have to wait 24h for them to drop out. In the meanwhile, I'm not sure how you would be affected.

If the blockchain is the persistent storage of the network then the mempool is its RAM. Better make sure you don't cache stale data.

In other news I had also purchased a painting with Monero but more to the tune of about 80. It is also rather significantly smaller than my whole wall. De gustibus and all that.

Agree we need pics
too much identifying  info already.

Yes, your name spells either XMR or Monero (if you use the o twice).

ZzZzZz. Not such a good story without a picture of the painting. Still grats on your wall not being boring anymore.

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)

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.
