Will someone please elaborate on the license described in July 23 - Monero Missives #8, how can an open source project require a license?

Can i not copy and paste my wallet address into XMR explorers to check balance?
I recently withdrew from mintpal to my address.  How to I check balance?  New to the monero game.

Nope. Only your wallet can see it.

Neither the block explorer nor anyone else can see your transfers or balance given the address (public key).

There is something called a "View Key" (provided to you when you created your wallet) that can be used to view your incoming transfers but I don't think any of the block explorers have support for it yet.



Good to know, thank you sir!

Sine secretum non libertas
Poloniex is one of the best altcoin exchanges around these days, IMO.  I wouldn't call them amateurs.

I endorse this view.  Any exchange that will make good their customers after a loss of bitcoin in a security breach is head and shoulders above the crowd.  (At least, once their security practices have been changed to harden their enterprise against further assaults, which PLX has certainly done.)  Moreover, it is by far the most liquid venue for XMR trading.  (Weak though that statement may seem.)

It's wonderful to see how Monero PR team works. Everytime there's a painful topic in this thread, some new members arrive and start posting irrelevant bullshit. You're doing great guys!

To be honest the "PR team" consists of David and me. David is doing all the small announcements and interviews and I'm managing social media and we have unfortunately not the time to create enormous amounts of sockpuppets and also we don't really care, if some ducknote trolls are thinking the dev team is childish

Going on 16 hours withdrawal from Poloniex to BTER...anyone else having similar issues?

I have now sent support tickets to both exchanges   Huh

ahhh great, so Poloniex API has been sending out transactions without Payment ID, even if you input everything correctly. So now my account wont be credited on BTER and Poloniex can't man up to the mistake and send me a duplicate tx. 100 XMR is effectively lost in the ether.

Stay away from Poloniex, what a bunch of amateurs  Undecided

Actually, the exchanges have experience dealing with this situation. Until recently, users were explicitly told to never transfer directly from exchange to exchange because the functionality didn't exist. But many didn't follow instructions and transferred anyway. You can resolve this by submitting a ticket with the receiving exchange and having your txid at hand. Unless you publicly stated the txid somewhere, it does reasonably identify you as the person who should be credited.
Indeed, you should be able to resolve this with BTER support.

The coins will have arrived in BTER's wallet. Make sure you provide their support with the transaction ID (TXID) and hopefully, given the circumstances, they'll credit your account. Since they will actually have your coins, they just won't know who's they are.

Don't give up just yet: all is not lost

I have no idea how to answer #2, How much of your networth is in cryptocurrencies? because I have no idea how it should be calculated.

If you have non liquid assets they could not be converted to crypto, at least not easily or likely.  In the case of people who own their home it's often their biggest asset by far.




Where can we keep tabs on ONLY answers?

Try to use the QT GUI wallet.
After importing the wallet I get the following error

Code:
Unable to find 'rpcwallet' or 'simplewallet' exectuables

the  'simplewallet' exectuable is in the same directory as the bitmonero-qt binary

Nothing has been revealed about any parties involves.

Not true, you have revealed to Alice where your coins came from. If Alice gets coins from multiple customers that share some common history she can link the sources of those coins. In fact a third party can also start to make those links, though individual identities won't be known. However, if some identities are discovered later, that information can then be used to make links with other transactions.

If you are assuming that Alice can't tell where the coins come from without mixing because they are pre-anonymized (mixed), then you haven't really accomplished anything. You still need a mix in between each change of ownership.

Also, once you send the coins to Alice, you can trace what Alice does with them, unless there is mixing. Again, you need a mixing on every change of ownership.


thanks for the insightful reply!

Monero Missives

July 23rd, 2014

Hello, and welcome to our eighth Monero Missive!

Major Updates

3. Along with this change is a new README, that should be a little better at giving the correct build instructions, as well as explaining the development rationale and a more formal staging -> tagged release methodology we will be using moving forward.

4. Since git (and, by extension, github) can be confusing to developers that are working on Monero code (or on any git repositories, really), one of the Monero key contributors, tewinget, will be hosting a Git Crash Course next week Wednesday, July 30th. He will be joined by fluffypony, and all interested are invited to attend. It will be broadcast through Twitch, and questions and discussions will happen in #monero-dev on Freenode during the course. It's going to be relaxed and informal, so if you want to know how to use git properly it's well worth tuning in. It will start at 2pm EST (6pm UCT). Feel free to invite anyone that you think will benefit from it!


Very pleased to see this addressed.

Also big thanks to tewingnet and fluffypony for doing a crash course I'm sure many users will find this useful. Even if you are not a direct monero dev and just a general programmer I'm sure this will be useful as a refresher or introduction whether you know how to use git or not.

Also props to mikezackles for implementing the get_bulk_payments I'm sure busoni is very pleased with that.

Keep up the good work!

- Is the presale (2000ETH per BTC right now) a reasonable investment chance? (I couldn't find an upper bound on the coin supply for the presale.)


With no upper limit on coins issued during presale, I have no idea whether 2000ETH equates to 2000XMR (in terms of coin supply) or 2000XDN!

For that reason alone, I'm out... for now.
