2000 pages ladies and gents. Nice to have been around to read, ponder and sometimes engage with many great posts. I always feel that I probably would have a great time drinking a beer or having a spliff with many of you. My kind of crowd.
Here is to the next 2000. Although I feel Monero is going to be around much longer than bitcointalk and our future pages may be written elsewhere.

Just wanted to ask if there won't be any party for this 2000 pages milestone. Smiley Few more pages and we will be ahead of our time (2018). Tongue
I enjoy this topic too. Love all the info I get here and the opportunity that I can provide the info to new people who come here to get to know Monero and let them fall in love with it too.
Cheers to all Monerians. (How do you call a person who HODLs, support and use Monero?)

Hello!

I downloaded the Monero GUI wallet. Started the monero app on my ledger, and created a new address for the ledger, in the Monero wallet. Im waiting for the wallet to sync now. will the wallet work just as normal? The only difference, is that i will have to conect the ledger, to be able to send Monero?

And i dont have to keep the ledger connected, while the wallet is syncing?

Sorry for the noob questions:P

Please see:

https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/9901/how-do-i-generate-a-ledger-monero-wallet-with-the-gui-monero-wallet-gui

From the link you posted

It's imperative that the closing process of your Ledger Monero wallet is done in this specific consecutive order:
[1] Exit the GUI by clicking on the x (right top).
[2] Exit the Ledger Monero app.
[3] Unplug the Ledger device.

I unplugged the ledger, while i was waiting for the wallet to sync, when the wallet was still running. Any idea what kind of issues that can cause?

The wallet cache won't be saved properly. As a result, the wallet refresh will not pick up where it left off. That is, the next time it will start from scratch again. Luckily, this only takes 5-10 minutes with a proper restore height (e.g. the one in the guide).

By the way,

how is kovri doing?

Wasn't alpha software just recently released? We actually have a buildable functional kovri for the first time now as I understand it. Seems good.

I confirm that. All the previous releases have the status "alpha-rc", i.e. "pre-alpha". Official alpha has been released just few weeks ago:
https://github.com/monero-project/kovri/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha

Monero/Kovri devs do have just one disadvantage: a very... VERY poor PR activity. They often do the great things in total silence. They probably think the github activity is completely sufficient source of a new information for the whole community.



Yea that is a problem. Even getmonero.org is not properly updated. For example there was not info of GUI-problems. There were wrong wallet version numbers. The moneropedia https://getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ is inadequate. The team does anyway great job, but due to lack of PR, it is very difficult for ordinary people to get knowledge of Monero through all the noise of crypto.

What do you people think? Is this lack of communication conscious or just lack of situational awareness?

I guess the Monero community could have have some capabilty to arrange reasonable site and campaign for the possible future Monero users.

What kind of GUI-problems are you referring to? As far as I know, the issue of the downloads page listing the wrong version number was swiftly resolved.

With respect to Moneropedia, it's basically to community's job to improve it.

I wouldn't say the lack of communication is conscious. Rather, Monero is largely built by volunteers and, as a result, there is no dedicated "team" to manage these kind of things.

My gui wallet Daemon not sychronised, It not connect, so i cant mining because i don't know if wallet Will sychronised, any help?

Did you manage to resolve your issue? Note that, as mattcode said, you can only start mining once you're fully synced.

Syncing is much quicker if you download the blockchain separately first.

Hy guys,

are we supported now by ledger or not, at least it is not on the Ledger HP on the supported cryptoassets  Roll Eyes

Both the CLI and the GUI have direct Ledger support. Ensuring you have a proper setup is currently quite technical though. That's probably why Ledger has not listed Monero yet under supported cryptoassets.

Note that one of the Ledger devs is working on improving the user experience of the initial setup, i.e., ensuring it is plug-and-play on all operating systems (currently Ledger in conjunction w/ Monero is basically only plug-and-play on Windows). In addition, their CTO (btchip) stated that, eventually, Monero will, most likely, be included in their native desktop app (Ledger Live).

I wonder if this is a good time to buy XMR Huh
Maybe because anyone who buys at any point from here will hardly take great losses in return for large profits.

The lost is small compared to the potential gain. So it is good to buy now.

If look over anonymous coin than Monero has upper hand because of more secured protocol and it really hard to trace the transaction using this platform. I also think Monero has more space to get more better position in future.
It is key point.
Monero deserves to have higher price, higher position on CMC with its top-notch private transactional mechanism.
I believe that many crypto enthusiasts don't want their transactions will be traceable by someone else.

I think Monero mining will always be advantageous.So if I talk about Monero, I do not worry about the future.

Probably, we will see a growing interest in altokamans as a whole by the end of the year, when bitcoingold falls. Monero is now interested in many people.

I would be careful with statements like this, but in theory that is right. If you control the whole network (sybill attack) you still can check the bytes traveling from A to B. Basically this is an "added value" over travelling via clearnet with added security. The developments is very good of the Monero community and i do believe that it doesn't need PR like other shitcoins around, hence it gives it's value and strength in it's beeing  Grin

Nice thing is though, by bundling it with a popular crypto currency wallet you could end up with so many more nodes than you ever could with tor or i2p.

Yeeeaaaaahhhh, but i think the fork will not help the I2P network per sé  Wink

Yea but it was bound to happen. It would be such a one sided deal for us to be routing their much larger data in exchange for them routing our puny little transaction data. Having it all be transaction data will make it all nice and uniform, which will make traffic analysis much harder, and it will keep it lean so that ruing a kovri node is no more onerous than it needs to be. It is a shame in a way but what'cha gonna' do?

if XMR was really private you wouldn't even need this! Smiley bwaahaha
Do you know what Kovri does? I assume not... As far as I understand it, it hides IP from which transaction is sent. Correct me if I am wrong. And can you tell me better privacy coin then XMR and constructive reason on why it is better?


Everyone knows that Monero, Zcash and Dash are the most famous anonymous coins.
I can not say the better these coins.
many people believe that Dash is not very anonymous, but in reality no one has been able to track the transaction so far.
also many people think that Zcash is more anonymous than Monero and Dash.
I think that all these coins can be used anonymously, and don't be afraid that your transactions will be monitored.
