It is certainly better to have such code public than have it first in private hands of an evil botnet operator I am sure many is better than a few on this one.
Monero needs much higher hashrate so there is not only few miners like there presently is. I think currently it feels like there are a few big ones that are milking so many coins each day that they don't care to dump a lot every day.

If anybody could come up with some estimates of the botnet hashpower we could expect from this move to 32bit, i would gladly read it, but it's probably a pure guess. Too many variables, so i would just stick with the fundamentals and welcome the increased hashrate from all the people that can now participate with older hardware and perhaps from some friendly botnet operators that could like the idea of an anonymous currency and hold on to their coins a bit.

Somehow perverse to quote Keynes in a bitcoin forum, but really he got it right, at least in this instance: 'The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.'  The good news is that if you believe in XMR and have some spare funds you can just buy and hold until the irrationality comes to an end - which it always does, eventually.  The worst that can happen is that you lose 100 percent of your presumably already disposable investment, since there is no need for leverage here (the sky is literally the limit for real potential profit). Finally, if you buy some XMR and then the price drops, keep in mind (a) that there really was no way of knowing what was going to happen before it happened, and (b) with the market still far from being liquid, there is a reasonably high chance that it was your own purchase that set the wheels in motion for the subsequent drop (in ways that even a clairvoyant with PhDs in psychology and economics would be unable to figure out).  Finally number 2: if you are a serious XMR investor, for Pete's sake don't obsess over getting the perfect entry price: (a) nobody buys at the bottom, which can only be known in retrospect, (b) if the coin really takes off then you will have plenty of opportunity to hang on that much longer before selling (or better still, spending with) it, and thus secure the same ROI overall.  Finally number 3: personally I would worry much more about not getting in the game right now and missing a huge and permanent spike in the near to medium future than about the price dropping after you make your purchase.

I've had 9.4XMR pending for hours. Received them 1 hour ago.

yes, but here s delay until you earn 0.5 XMR.

I know not everyone follows the conversations in #monero-dev on Freenode, so to keep everyone in the loop: work on this is already progressing. You can follow the progress by checking tewinget's databasing branch: https://github.com/tewinget/bitmonero/tree/blockchain

Actually we weren't pushing hitbtc voting at all, most of the core team weren't even aware of their posts in this thread, and next minute they just went ahead and added us. We haven't paid them anything, as I'm sure they will confirm.

Many modern smartphones are 64-bit:) Also, the solution for smartphones (and most desktops, I would imagine) will be SPV-style thin clients, and not full nodes.

Anyone getting moneropool.com payouts ??

Personally i don't like the idea of making mining possible on 32-bit machine. That would allow massive botnet to hop in since majority of botnet is made from these old 32-bit computers.

I have my own opinion on this.

Few months ago I was a DRK holder and believed in Evan Duffield. I still suppose he is honest person. But his developer skill is not sufficient for such a fundamental thing as anonymity.

Moreover, I made some profit trading DRK, and withdrew (with converting) it to cold BTC wallet during first DRK deploy fail (to the main net), when first hard fork issue damaged the DRK world-wide. I did quickly understood, at that 1st crush, DRK has no future.

But how much was my astonishment, that few days later DRK price returned to the almost previous top. So I could relax, wait few days, and STILL could withdraw/convert DRK to BTC with high profit!

That's all about human psychology. It works the way I can not predict, the fully irrational way.

The most beautiful demo of such an psycho effect was during SECOND DRK deploy fail. Price had repeated the come-back effect, and if I were crazy stupid I could make almost the same profit TWICE! But I had turned to XMR already to that moment.

Your question is much more deeper than it appears. May be not to be discussed for this thread, if you will resume on another - let me know.

All we being XMR holders & adopters should extract a lesson from DRK destiny. But currently I absolutely don't imagine what such a lesson consist of...

moneropool.com having issues with their wallet ? My pending balance has reached 6XMR, they should be initiating payments at 0.5XMR!

We need gpu miner for linux!
So unfair...
thanks

^ Usability & Hype?
There's plenty that needs to improve with the Monero infrastructure before it can be considered accessible to the masses. I'm not saying DRK offers a meaningful privacy platform, but just why "the crowds" have not migrated to Monero in large numbers yet. Let's really fix 'usability', and then start looking for opportunities for 'utility'. Everything else falls into place from there!

Why the fuck isn't XMR surpassed DRK yet, XMR is the only good anonymous coins, the rest are SHITTY GIMMICKS. This coin should be at 0.1. People aren't aware of the value of this coin. In a fair world with common sense this coin would eat Litecoin alive.

So in this post apocalyptic hell, you will just log on to your shiny high speed internet connection and check your crypto's

Gdocs for the moment, should be added to a future FAQ. For the moment, it is on the FAQ section of the OP.

But the XMR price is very good.

I trust the developers are working on this now.  It really just boils down to the database.  When we migrate to a proper scalable database the Monero deamon will no longer need to load the whole thing into memory, but will just access the database from the storage medium.  It will also most likely optimize the disc space requirement making the database smaller to store.

I wish I could help but I am a musician, and audio engineer not a programmer.  If writing a song was useful, I'd be the guy.
