I havent been on IRC all day like I usually am, missed a few hours, but apart from moneropool.org being down I didnt hear anyone else complaining about pool connectivity troubles. Possible you had some bad packet loss on your Internet connection? You wouldnt notice it really when browsing the web but it can be enough to interrupt stratum connections.

May be... I am also trying 443 port as well as 9999 etc.

Now miner's log says:
"
Stratum authentication failed.
... retry after 30 seconds
"

then, just as if nothing had happened,
"
Stratum detected new block
... yay!!!
"

And so on, the whole day, from two independent city places, internet providers, & both GPU & CPU miners...

Yesterday all was fine Sad

Reacting to recent comments and in order to support the monero devs and community, we have decided to donate 20% from our pools fee to the core-dev team.

At http://pool.cryptoescrow.eu July 12th: We started donating 20% to Core-dev team. Now 40% of pool fee goes to donations:
20% to core-dev team;
20% to pool development;
60% to support the pool;
Total Fee - 1%

Join our pool and start supporting Monero development!

I have also decided to donate a bottle of wine from my cellars to all core developers who show up in my castle.

This announcement is not intended to attach an elitist image to XMR or its devs, but to ensure the community that the devs are well connected and marketing in working as planned...

...because some people have doubted it.

has there been any kind of "friends of Monero" build as I've been hearing about for donations/bounty fund?
I'd be interested on my more modest level.

Also I never realized that paid signatures can be quite generous. Adds up quite fast guys. Let's all consider taking one for the core team and monero's development

I'd also like to suggest a bounty for the first monero dice/wheel reaching 10,000 in monero wagered, first binary options site, etc.

And is it me or does the quality of discussion in this thread seem to improve between about 10:00 and 17:00 UTC each day? I've only bothered to check this "statistic" for the last few days' worth of posts but so far it holds up, at least on weekdays.

Want privacy? Use Monero!

Monero is doing quite well lately. Slow growth... that is what we need. I hope we stay above 3 mBTC now Wink

Hello guys,

I observe that connections to the XMR pools are unstable today world-wide, I tried them from two independent geographical places with both Wolf's & Nvidia miners. Does anybody know, are most XMR pools under DDOS today?

Today my pool wasn't working right for 9 hours because the logs had taken up the entire hard drive. But that won't happen again. We haven't been attacked by a DDOS for two weeks.

Thamk you. I can confirm, stratum connection was unstable to 3 pools AT LEAST today (I tried port 443):
extremehash.com
moneropool.com.br
hashinvest.net

Miner's error string:
"
stratum_recv_line failed
Stratum connection interrupted
"

Ok so im reading the mini blockchain whitepaper. It appears to be a marginal improvement in some ways but it doesnt address the fundemental difficulty in scaling blockchains. The scalability problem doesn’t have anything to do with the size of the blockchain. It comes from the fact that each actor's transactions must be verified by all other network participants. Its the same math as network effects, except its a negative network effect.

Suppose actors make 1 transaction per minute.

1 actors = 0 verifications because he doesnt need to verify his own transactions.
2 actors = 2 transactions per minute. 2 * 2 actors = 4 transactions verifications. They dont need to verify their own so 4 - 2 = 2.
3 actors = 3 transactions per minute. 3 * 3 = 9 verifications. they dont need to verify their own so 9 - 3 = 6.
4 actors = (4*4)-4=12
5 actors = (5*5)-5=20
ect...

0,2,6,12,20,30,42,56,72

This very quickly gets out of hand when you consider that there is a cost associated with verifying a transaction. even if that cost is infinitesimal.

Maybe the miniblockchain addresses this criticism and I just missed it though.

Perhaps but neither of those two things are "yammering in this thread all day long"

You probably have 10 times more posts in this thread than I do.

And i also dont claim to know how to solve the blockchain scalability problem. I shouldn't need to explain this.

I already told you the Mini-block chain thread is public on this forum.

I already told you it is incompatible with ring signatures.

So I've already told you.

You also already told me that you haven’t proven it. Sooooooo.... prove it smart guy.

Cryponite (not Cryptonote) already exists. It is proven in terms of there is an implementation in the real world.

I'll look into it.

Btw, there is no way to prevent ASICs. But the problem with ASICs is not their existence, but rather that they are not readily available on time to everyone in the same efficiencies. So if you want to defeat this problem, you've got to think about it a totally different way.

You think I haven't been working eh. Wink

Hint: does every user in the world need the most power efficient implementation of SHA-2 such that Intel would make it happen in every PC? No. This is why there is an ASICs problem for Bitcoin, wherein there isn't anymore equal access to efficiencies in mining.

For miner that will be widely accessible to the general public, this problem could already be solved for Bitcoin, as the $17 AntMiner U2+ is already as electrically efficient as the larger economy-of-scale ASICS:

http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-Bitcoin-Overclockable/dp/B00ITD5NV6

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison#ASIC

So Bitcoin's problem is no longer ASICs but rather that most users of Bitcoin don't mine. And 50+% of those who do, mine in one or two pools.

All of my posts have raised very serious issues. I look to learn from any peer review of my thoughts. I share, but it doesn't mean I have to get naked when you tell me too.

Please don't do a fixed percent. That's a terrifying proposition. The benefits for getting it right are so overshadowed by the costs of getting it wrong that its not worth it.

What is terrifying about it?

What could be the worst case scenario for 1% per year?

The death of the currency as inflation out-paces adoption leading to decline in purchasing power leading to people switching to a crypto that doesn’t cause a decline in their purchasing power.

If by the time you get there your currency is widely adopted with innumerable network effects, then nobody switches.

Maybe if you actually know how to make blockchains scalable. But if you dont than this argument doesnt hold. And if you do, than again, for the 10,000 time what are you doing here, please for christ sake go prove it.

If your block chain can't scale then the entire discussion is pointless.

Of course I know how to make block chain scale, but I am not going to tell you.

And there goes your last shred of credibility.

How so? If I knew how to solve such a problem, I'd make my own currency, not reveal it to a competitor.
