seriously fuck mintpal, they should deal with their own issues and security.
VRC should have held them responsible, instead of the other way around and VRC held responsible to fix the issue.
im so done with that scam exchange, they are only out for profit by adding P&D coins. They know this is the end.
I am not sure which quote to use for a reply but with all the bad emotions around unsecure exchanges etc it is a very clear sign that people expect something better than to suffer the counterparty risk when dealing with such simple things as buying coins.
There are already some proposals how to solve the p2p distributed exchange problem. What is the take of the devs on the future of such possible extensions to Monero?
It is perhaps more of a 'math' question really, is it possible? Exchanging slowly increasing amount of coins between users is is one technique that should work. What about the addresses and some other issues. I believe it should be possible but i am no true cryptographer unfortunately because I don't have much time for study
The suggestion I wanted to make is to think about adding such analysis on these important topics so we, people using the coin can have some idea how far we can go with the functionality.
Such things should be discussed - or not - and put on a proper website. I mean proper not in any fancy way. I mean a complex well written website with all the information possible on the subject. For dummies really - or smart people who want to know all the details (no, it doesn't need to look complicated - think mac os). Draw the readers of this web to return and study about cryptonight, cryptonote or whatever so they would not need to google for it on other websites.
also - why is the content of the web page not open to public so we can contribute? some dev wiki perhaps? (the design, or at least ideas, could be kept separate ...you could at least create a thread about it here, see what people come up with)
