When can we expect the next weekly missive? And do anyone know when we will see the new website?
two recent missives came out closely together (20th and 23th), so i believe next missive will be released next few days.

two recent missives came out closely together (20th and 23th), so i believe next missive will be released next few days.
when does the new weekly overview come?
Is there some group dedicated on developing monero-based services? Is there a development team working to make Monero significant?
The code needs some work still before merchants start accepting it. Once the core code has it's bandwidth QoS fixed and the blockchain is put into a db, then we might start seeing some viable development for Monero based services.
I hope.
hello guys, i am looking for a financial advice.
i got most of my crypto money inside xmr. normaly its not a problem, since i watch everything that is going on very closely and can react immediately.
but now, i will be on holiday for like 3 weeks, what do you recomend me to do?/quote]http://david.latapie.name/blog/extended-10200-strategy/
Just hold. 0.004 is really too low. I think we will stabilize on atleast 0.01 any day, possible higher.

Please read if you are a pool operator.
Just so pool operators are aware, advertising pools is no longer allowed, including in coin announcement threads: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/advertising-spam-is-not-allowed-718124
Any pool that wants to be added to the list on our OP can contact us (pm the Monero Bitcointalk account), and they are allowed to make an ANN thread in the Altcoin Mining section (but not a separate ANN thread for each coin they support). If you post about your pool in this thread or any of the altcoin ANN threads, expect that someone is going to report it and it'll get removed.

Wooo, thank goodness for that I get sick of pool advertisments spammed through every ANN thread.

How fast is it in comparison with Claymore's ?
Open Source and Linux friendly (for rigs)
Regarding speed I don't known yet.
I have worked on CryptoNight ATI sgminer based on sph-sgminer.
I have already lost more then one week for this full-time job
, but currently I don't have time for this project. 
Here is repo: https://github.com/Atrides/sgminer-monero
What is done: all, except of right cryptonight.cl
Miner works currently via RPCv1, available on test-port 8001 on erebor.dwarfpool.com
I have integrated djm's cpu-miner to compare hash, so, debuggers can see it in logs as "DIFFERENT_HASH" if OpenCL gives wrong hash.
In "cryptonight.cl_withaes_noworking" I have added AES implementation from djm. But with some errors.
"cryptonight.cl" == "cryptonight.cl_withkeccak_noaes" does not have AES therefore bad hashes.
So, if anybody can check and make normal "cryptonight.cl", you can use test port 8001.

This is not a (weak) attempt at breaking the PoW vs PoS chain, but just as there are other interesting things to talk about:

I'm not going to say that this is a good or a bad thing, though in general pool adverts really annoy me as they clutter the thread and I get less ROI for my reading time. Perhaps a more sensible rule would be to allow for a single pool advert per alt ANN thread, so that new pools are quickly known about, but not allowing the mass spamming from then onwards.

windjc, without going into all the other ins and outs of PoS I'm intersted in whether you feel its "fair" that with PoS coins exchanges for example can create value out of thin air just by staking coins that don't belong to them (this is apart from the obvious security issues with keeping PoS coins in hot wallets).
I'm not really a proponent of "fair" so I rarely look at systems from that perspective. Could you reframed your question so I understand it better?
Sure, an exchange is simply supposed to be holding coins for you as a third party but they get value out of thin air by staking coins that don't belong to them. Do you think this is fair ? As in do you think proof of stake works when this can be done while not being the true owner of the coins? Lets not also forget that in PoS holding a large percentage of the coins is the same as having a large percentage of the HR in a PoW coin. The difference being that an exchange is being given this power for free and have no financial outlay to acheive this as would be the case with PoW.

monero to the fucking stars and beyond the milkway!

So in a way you agree POW does not provide real advantages to the most important thing - network effect.
Not really no. Since PoW networks are competing for energy there will be fewer of them with any scale at all, and it will therefore be easier for one network (or perhaps a small number of networks) to get extremely large, after which point it will have a large network effect. As was said earlier, competing for a scarce resource prevents unlimited duplication at the level of networks.
Quote
And, in actuality, one can assume that at least one POS will create network effect. Therefore being diversified in the best of the POS coins would be a wise proposition.
No I don't think we can assume that at all. We can't even assume that Bitcoin will ever get large relative to fiat. There is certainly no guarantee that any PoS will ever get large, even as large as Bitcoin (which is small). It might happen. I might even agree that diversification is smart. But it is not something that can be assumed.
Network effect. That cannot be duplicated. So, we could have a trillion POS coins. It doesnt matter. Go start a social network. Let us know how that works out for you.
That is true. But just as powerful as network effect is, it is also hard to achieve. How many startups become Facebook?
None of these coins is very big. Possibly excluding Bitcoin. So their network effect is not very big either. Look at the market cap of bitcoin vs. fiat (i.e. tiny). That is an indication of the size of its network effect. All PoS coins are far, far, far below that.
If any of them become a big success then it will have strong network effect, but not before.
(Yes this applies to Monero as well. We are trying to build something but we're not going to go running around saying we have this huge network effect. And as for FCN or whatever, I'm not even sure I need to answer that question, the differences between that and XMR in terms of how likely they are to grow into something big are pretty obvious.)

So POS would for this same reason hard pressed to compete with Bitcoin at the things that Bitcoin can do. However, if A POS coin focused on all the things that Bitcoin will never do, then that's a completely different matter. And, in actuality, one can assume that at least one POS will create network effect. Therefore being diversified in the best of the POS coins would be a wise proposition.
