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.

That's good news though, i am eager about the security benefits it brings Grin

Monero coin is in the top 10 of all cryptocurrencies in the world. I think that it is very promising and I keep it in my portfolio.

In reality, Monero has been ranked in top-10 of coins in CMC for months.
It's really normal because Monero is a good project, and it deserves to be ranked in top positions on CMC.

Monero is the only coin today with completely trust-less privacy and anonymity, unlike ZCash-family coins based on zk-snark algorithm that depends on initial secret key generation trust.

Also Monero is the only coin today with long-known and well-studied Cryptonight algorithm, published and discussed in peer-reviewed scientific journals since year 2000.

Other coins attract users by either sparkling but unverified new ideas like ZCash/zk-snark or just hard PR management like Dash.

There are many areas of human activity to get spontaneous risks, like smart contracts, internet of things, etc. So may coins like ETH, IOTA, etc. offer you a chance to get risks.

But, privacy and anonymity is other completely different area. If you want to stay anonymous and private, you apparently don't want to get risks. That's why Monero is the only reasonable private and anonymous coin.

I would advise you to seek an answer to your dogecoin question in one of the outlets where dogecoin is often discussed.

I just used Dogecoin for comparison... You can check other coins too. I don't know why but I thought there would be more transactions on Monero network.
I was thinking about this later on and realized that number of transactions really doesn't matter. There is probably a lot of "spam" transactions on other networks and we don't want this with Monero since it would only result in bigger blockchain filled with these transactions. If we are considering fee cost it is logical that people are using other coins for non-private transactions.

I was just checking some Monero network statistic here: https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-hashrate.html.
And now I wonder why hashrate has fallen so dramatically in May? Is that a mistake or was there any major event which caused this?

I also find number of Monero transactions interesting, there is actually not a lot of them. Even Doge has approximately 5x more transactions on average. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-xmr-doge.html What do you guys think is the reason for this? Not enough exposure of XMR, fees, complexity, UI?

ASICs had been stealth mining and the algo was changed to cryptonight v7 to thwart them.

Around May and a bit before then it was so decided that whereas the people in charge of Monero don't currently like botnets more than the effect of not having them mine Monero, the method in which mining Monero was changed by the people that have the ability to change the source code of Monero, in order to discard the old botnets during some likely routine hard forking event.

In reflection of this change becoming a reality, the difficulty algorithm adjusted itself to reflect this action. As the hashrate is derived from difficulty, the graph that displays hash rate was left with a rather abrupt and jagged looking cliff. Whether or not it was a mistake is a matter of speculation likely for some time to come, though it was unquestionably a major event.

I would advise you to seek an answer to your dogecoin question in one of the outlets where dogecoin is often discussed.

bot net out of control...or is there a hardfork coming for this too? Cool

===> fluffy trojan wat!

I'd say thats great news, you are unable to think out of the box and that has always been your problem. Well besides the fact you just enjoy trolling.

If those bots were not mining Monero they would be doing something worse. That is a best case scenario for them.

goldman saches(circle) pwned your computer networks using XMR ? ... thank you for playing! Kiss

weeeeee

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

There is a link to the DIY I saw in this thread but I think the out of the box support is in the next point release. I may be behind on this info tho so check backa few pages for dEBRUYNE's post.

Here it is.

I just generated a fresh wallet from ledger effectively. I observed a wallet document was made on my computer. Does this file store my private keys? If so, what's even the idea in a hardware budget.

From this guide:

Quote from: romeox6x on August 06, 2018, 02:25:51 PM

Also, how careful must i be with keeping this document? Imagine if I delete it accidentally? AM I GOING TO lose usage of my wallet completely easily do so?

You can simply regenerate it with aforementioned StackExchange guide.
