I set up some guidelines in the donation thread, one is the accountability and transparency in the use of donations:
- who decides how money is spent
- who spends it
- how is it accounted for and monitored.

I kindly ask the devteam to write a few lines about this, so I feel much better to donate and promote others to do so.

EDIT: I don't have any distrust towards Monero devs, but there's a certain Forum that calls me Donator for the reason that I donated 10 BTC to them and none of it has been used for anything useful, as far as I know.

someone seems a bit paranoid

We have a Monero Missive once a week with updates. The last update was last week, the next one will be this week:)

Donations have been slow, which does make things tricky, but there has certainly been no lack of movement on things, as the Missive and the dev diary always do detail.

That would be smart.

First time to XMR community.It's a big and strong community,hope i can get sth

We dont need news in mainstream, in my experience as an underground DJ, i find it more effective when we explain things in person... Just like good music, u cant find it mainstream... More people try to do it that way, the more we all win... Mainstream can just polute the train of thoughts for some (network effect can be obtained in several ways)...

Just a thought from another perspective, market may not behave in this way...

All this effort expended by the trolls trolling Monero is very Bullish.  Encourages me to get more.

In case anyone wonders why am i newbie account posting here, i am long time lurker, BC bagholder, found out about XMR soon after launching, shy on interwebz, but decided to go out and share his thoughts with the crypto world.

My mind was blown by the Bitcoin idea in early 2013 (yeah, my country is centuries behind the world), and started researching, found about this forum, lurked some threads, and found about essential investment logic with which i can stick with. XMR felt so natural to follow.
Crypto is to stay, improve, and "rule" the next generations to come.

I believe crypto needs something like Monero (XMR) in the upcoming months (or any better anon candidate, but i dont see any other), watching the happenings around the globe, economy crash, wars all around, Gaza genocide, HAARP usage, all kinds off things...

My (substantial) mining investment will stay here with XMR until someone (like AnonyMint) comes up with something that blows our minds, again.


Sorry for my english, its not my native language.

Forgive me for my noobness, but isn't YAM miner CPU only?

I would strongly suggest yvg1900's (https://twitter.com/yvg1900) YAM miner.  1% fee (you can set the fee yourself, but not below 1%), and better performance then Claymore's (plus... has a linux version).

YAM Miner version M7v (link to post on twitter feed)

Contact Wolf0 (https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/wolf0-80740 he also has an unfinished OpenCL miner in progress.

May be could somebody help me with open source ATI miner.
I have worked already on it: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8117929

you can mine here - http://moneropool.net/ (0 Miners) you can then see how many miners (addresses) connect with you. Claymores address was:

47mr7jYTroxQMwdKoPQuJoc9Vs9S9qCUAL6Ek4qyNFWJdqgBZRn4RYY2QjQfqEMJZVWPscupSgaqmUn 1dpdUTC4fQsu3yjN               - space is showing up in last third at  Un1dp, just delete space.

Unsure if this was changed in later versions. But this should show you how many hashes are going to that address. Please report your findings.

One more thing, Claymore fee is not deducted from your address (to my understanding), but u hash for some of his addresses, so you wouldn't see it on pool's stats. Just be patient.

I could be wrong ofcourse.

dwarf pool already shows all that data and i'm still missing the extra 1 monero, man i hope that closed source crap miner ends and we get something open source like with other coins ...

When you start mining on some XMR pool, it takes few hours for your coins to be credited as it takes many more confirmations to credit mined coins opposed to when you send coins from one place to another. It is possible you will get that extra 1 XMR few hours after you stop mining (i dont encourage you to stop).

What are the biggest competing GPU coins (measured in number of GPUs)?

Its nice and easy to track as the block difficulty is directly related to the hashrate, here's the graph http://monerochain.info/charts/hashrate

The rise from July 15th to 19th is likely linked to the pump up to nearly 0.006BTC/XMR around that time, the climb over the last two weeks has been less spectacular but consistent.

I havent discussed it much with other pool admins but the only miner improvements recently have been for Nvidia cards, I'm not sure they are significant enough to explain the rise unless they have made the XMR ROI better than other altcoins. In fact I'm not sure what the return is like compared to other coins/algos currently.

It seems that botnets still comprise around 25-50% of the hashrate (I'm not going to debate whether that is "a bad thing" right now), which makes a lot of infected PCs - I wonder if more AV suites and MS Defender will be adding miner sigs to their malware lists and starting to kill that off, but that's probably being too optimistic about the bot owners security practices...

Unfortunately despite the rise in hashrate it still seems to be concentrated on a few pools, which is certainly a bad thing. Seems all those big coloured text pool ads failed to achieve much other than get pool ads banned

I'd like to think the recent rise is down to lots of new Monero adopters but I suspect its a smaller number of miners discovering its a more reliable income than swapping altcoin/algo every couple of days.

There are several GUIs already out there..

Why diff has risen so much? Any new miner or just the coin become more and more popular ?
