Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 1605. (Read 4671975 times)

What's the formula to calculate time in hours to find a block?  like in btc/ltc this seems to work:


But that doesn't work for XMR. 

Can I just say that Ethereum isn't really our enemy.

Ethereum cannot offer anonymity, and if they implement something like ring signatures, they will be far less efficient than a native currency such as Monero.

Ethereum is going against a bit of Bitcoin but mostly it's generating it's own market.

Correct me if you think I am wrong, I'm really interested in hearing other peoples thoughts on the matter.

Did it

Searching a place to mine XMR? 

Help us to brake some blocks & spread the hashes ! 

XMR MINING POOL >> http://xmr.poolto.be

use : stratum+tcp://xmr.poolto.be:3001

Happy Mining ! 

pool fee: 0.20% (pool) + 0.1% (node-crypto dev/xmr core dev) to support XMR ! >> JOIN US!

Just done that for you now.

The first 5 questions will be posted as graphs so we have a better understanding of what type of investors we have and creating an unofficial richlist.

The paragraph text boxes will be sent to the Core dev team for fixes and understanding us better.

What is the survey for and what is being done with the information provided ?

I am personally doing a small survey about XMR for all the people interested in completing it :

Thanks in advance

Ah, sorry, smooth - hadn't seen this before I posted my followup.  Will stop feeding the troll on my part.

Good, we're getting somewhere:  You admit that 2/3rds of your entire post doesn't apply prima facie to CryptoNote.  It might, but not with the very simple approach you claimed.  I believe you're wrong about AES as well, but I don't have time to tackle that until later today.  The 128 bit entries in CryptoNote are specifically part of what I called out earlier as a design advantage in achieving that balance.

Note carefully:  I never said CryptoNote was fast.  I never said it was a *good* choice if you are worried about DoS attacks.  I said it was a good design for balancing CPU, GPU, and ASIC computation speeds.

The reason you're wrong about GPU speeds is because the accesses saturate the memory controllers and are a poor match to the row buffer structure of DRAM, also in part due to that same 128 bit random access pattern.

So please:  Stop arguing your l3scrypt-whatever-the-fish-it-is strawman and talk about *CryptoNote as it actually exists*.

At least, if there long timeframe, it's easier to implement google snappy configurable compression level. But imo it does not matter, cos it still all in RAM.

Great, if all the dublicated data can be cut out thats good news. As said I dont see the current rate of growth as anything too troubling so with the database implemented and if anyone can optimize further it can only be positive.

There is no official "promise" from the development team on this, but personally I expect the on disk storage to eventually end up a lot closer to what is reported by monerochain.info, which means less than half of these numbers. Currently a lot of data is being stored multiple times on disk. Being smarter about how to do that should help a lot.

But first we need to get the database interface completed and a reference database integrated (see latest Missives for status). Then people can optimize.

Much better than in early days when pools didn't implement minimal payout threshold.

As it was mentioned again in another thread and I therefore said I would update the list I was keeping here is the blockchain growth on disk rather than the one displayed on monerochain.info which is significantly smaller than the on disk size.

This gives an average growth rate of ~16MB over the period 18/7 to 23/7 and an average of ~22.5MB for the ten day period 13/7 to 23/7.

Im sure you will all agree again that this rate of growth is perfectly acceptable for the privacy and anonymity provided by the protocol and is again a significantly slower rate of growth than the rate when the pools were sending out dust. 

I got the whole way through, tearing my hair out, before I realised what was happening:)

Genius 

Even considering all the blatant censorship here, I have decided to reveal the one single hope Monero, and in fact all cryptocurrency has against the NSA as well as The HK SAR, and Chinese MSS and a few other agencies I don't have the time to mention.  You do not have the mental capacity to know this many acronyms anyway.

At least Monero has not taken the route of using PoS which is really just a honeypot.  In fact it is a reverse Tupelo honeypot, designed to draw in the clueless masses to be caught in the great clawback of 2013, which is actually happening in 2016 since the NSA has not realized that honey without the comb can spoil at a rate which follows the accelerated curve represented by the non-comb reverse Tupelo honey equation:

Q′(x)=[(cosx)(tanx)(ex)+(sinx)(sec2x)(ex)+(sinx)(tanx)(ex)+52x32+72x−32][(cscx)2−19]−[(−cscxcotx)(cscx)+(cscx)(−cscxcotx)][(sinx)(tanx)(ex)+(x3+2x12−7)(1x√)][(cscx)2−19]2

But I digress.

As I said, at least the Cryptonight devs and subsequently the Monero (leaderless, consensus based, socialist, betamale) "devs" used second most stupid method to secure the blockchain: PoW.

After many hours of study I have found the only computational cipher worthy of my study and mastery is: PoH.

Obviously you are too dimwitted to have even considered using PoH to secure the Monero blockchain.  But allow me to elucidate you slightly.


Yes, the Proof of Haiku algorithm is even capable of withstanding the coming rigors of quantum computing, and cannot be broken by the NSA until, by my calculations, sometime in the fall of 2065.  I would like to pinpoint the date more accurately, but as the original cryptopoet Bashō wrote:


I have yet to work out exactly how to implement PoH, and how to make it ASIC proof, and of course you all expect AnnoyMint to do all the work for you.  I have so many other problems to solve, my time is simply too valuable to spend all day and night elucidating you.  Finally this:

Thanks for clarifying That fits perfectly!
