I like the github approach :-)

hey cool, I am curious about this!

The web site is being completely redone. Stay tuned for the new and improved web site.

Do have a look at the community XMR FAQ. A lot of great content was added within the first day or so but interest seems to have subsided. Eventually the FAQ content will likely find a home on a web site.

great update! is there also any thoughts about promo?

very sorry, just in my opinion the monero website does not really seem attractive to non-miners if you want to get into the real world

I mean like Bitcoin and Dogecoin's site are directed to "normal" people

thank for update

If you guys haven't checked out the program statdude made to view depth charts of coins in excel format you should check it out, it's pretty cool

Correct. The same amount of hash power will get you fewer coins now that it would 2 months ago, however this is not due to a rapidly decreasing block reward, (which would favor early adopters and could loosely be classified as instamine), it is due to a rapidly increasing interest in the coin which means rapidly increasing hash power, so block reward is split among more people. It should be noted that these 2 circumstances are not the same, and should not be confused with each other.

Careful how you word things, these trolls can be tricky =P

Well, I just gave you the opinion of an early miner who is still mining monero. The block reward has decreased very little since launch, that is the only reason why the price of xmr is not in the 5-10 dollar range

Refer to the distribution curve, and it you have any other questions, please pose them here, in such a fashion that you do not seem like you are trolling. Thanks.

Monero Missives

July 13th, 2014

Hello, and welcome to our sixth Monero Missive!

Major Updates

1. The GUI bounty is completed and all payouts have been made. You can view the confirmation of payouts in this post, and bounty recipients have confirmed receipt of their bounties. Just to reiterate the comments made by us in that thread: "As it stands right now, we won't be integrating any of these GUI clients into the main codebase just yet, as there is still a great deal of underlying work that must be done before we can ship a GUI wallet that just about anyone can run (unless we want to make the minimum memory requirement 8gb and the minimum Internet connection requirement 20mbps;) That having been said, we will continue to recommend the actively developed GUI wallets to anyone who prefers to use a GUI wallet, and that is the main purpose behind closing and awarding this bounty now: to have a short-list of recommended GUI wallets." The two GUI wallets we recommend using and that are being actively and continuously developed are:

neozaru's wallet: https://github.com/Neozaru/bitmonero-qt

Jojatekok's Monero Client .NET: https://github.com/Jojatekok/monero-client / https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xmr-monerox-a-cross-platform-graphical-account-manager-for-monero-683365

2. As you may be aware, there's been a great deal of discussion around dev donations. It wasn't something we thought to raise previously, as it is generally accepted that if you are making money from an open-source project (eg. mining, buying and holding for future profit, whatever) you will generally donate as that is the best way to secure an increase in your "investment". It is important to note that this is not a cryptocurrency that has a big, fat premine (or any sort of instamine / ninjamine / premine), and we are, therefore, completely reliant on the donations of our users. We really, truly appreciate all of the donations that we have received, from early pools such as the now-defunct monero.farm contributing a large portion of their earnings, to our largest donation from ceger, to the ramp-up in dev donations from a screed of pools. Thank you, you guys are the ones that are helping us cover costs and pay for contributors where necessary.

3. The initial work has been completed on analysing the CryptoNote whitepaper, and the review that has come out of it is now available to all. This is an academic approach to analysing it, and is the first step in figuring out whether the principles it espouses are reflected in the Monero code, and (further to that) how we can improve on its deficiencies. You can grab the whitepaper review here: http://monero.cc/downloads/whitepaper_review.pdf

4. Very early work has begun on reimplementing the mnemonic wordlists in other languages. We are currently doing a German one as a tester to see the amount of effort involved. If you are interested in producing a mnemonic wordlist (1626 words, following a small set of rules) in a language other than German or English please drop us a pm. There will be other translation work coming up (website, tooling etc.), and we will definitely be distributing donations to translators where possible (although they may be relatively small for the work involved).

Dev Diary

Core: major work has begun on moving to an embedded database. The ongoing progress on this can be followed here: https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero/tree/blockchain

Core / Wallet: both the new daemonized daemon and rpcwallet are nearing a stage where they can be merged into master. The final step is to finalise the daemonizing code in rpcwallet, in such a way that it acts the same as the daemon, and we can move from there.

I8N: mnemonic word list German version is in progress and about 90% complete.

I2P: subsequent to discussions with the I2P team, we are going to be making a bit of a diagonal movement from libi2pcpp to i2pd. This should end up with us slightly ahead on the I2P integration project than we would've been. The major focus at the moment is getting TCP streaming (for persistent connections) to work, and that is where the largest focus is at present.

Until next week!

For miners who use our feature to mine directly to an exhange, the transactions were still made manually, but now I automatized this in spite of a bug mentioned above. So you get your payment much faster now, thank you for your patience!

Dwarves Support

Ok no problem.

You see how it is smooth to simply warn us about.

I'm wondering abour an error with Simplewallet, payment_id and JSON_RPC.

I tried to use it with payment_id, but TX will be sent without it:


If I transfer direct in console, it works fine.


We can check in block explorer that the second transaction has payment_id, the first one - not

Is it a bug or just conceived so??

We made a decision a while back not to fiddle with mediawiki's ACLs and try and control who can edit things.

Instead, the knowledge base will be published to github, and anyone can edit it by submitting a PR (pull request). This will make editing the content super easy, and since PRs are public and easy to look at, if we reject any it will be easy to see why.

I hate committing to time frames because we're working on so many things and because we all have to do stuff-to-earn-money as well, but this should be ~2-3 weeks away from done.

like this: http://monero.wikia.com/wiki/Monero_Wiki ?

A mediawiki site for XMR would be awesome.  You would have to hand out credentials, to keep out the bcn/drk trolls, however.

It wont be a lot but if you have done something awesome for the monero community without being compensated, ask in this thread and ill send you a little something.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7845979

There has been no clearer example of trolling in this thread that that crap.  Racism.  Lol.  Please do not waste your time responding to that.

Yeah that's the rule. I'm sure it'd be fine...

There is no specific moderator listed for the Altcoin section so I guess just post in Meta and ask.
