@username, rather than some superlong string of alphanumeric characters.

Landrush anyone? Cybersquatting, now playing in an alias near you.

It's not really a landrush if you have to solo a block, unless you're cbuchner1 you're probably not gonna be soloing a shitload of blocks. And if you want to call it a shit feature, that's up to you, I'm sure you've innovated many new features yourself that are far superior.

one neat feature is the aliasing. I'm not 100% sure, but I think you have to solo a block to create an alias, but once you do, you can have people send their coins to @username, rather than some superlong string of alphanumeric characters.

This is reference example of as I say 'shit-feature'. Just look at vericoin, how many shit features it has, especially their version of
'anonimity'.

We also have other stuff that needs testing

What is the best place to report on testing, specifically and especially problems observed?

To incentivize testing, there should be a bounty pool for bug reports, based on severity of the problem, closed to developers and their associates. but the reporting channel should be closed, private, to avoid the possibility of exploits coming from that channel.

For now, raise an issue in the github where you find them (or query those branch authors and tell them to allow issue reporting if it's not enabled).

Part of the current money received to the donation address should be allowed to rewarding bugfinding and bugfixing, I agree.

In general, I agree with your comment, but on this point I must differ. There are some interesting and useful features in bbr, and crypto_zoidberg is a top-notch developer. I don't see a need to own any bbr, but I think it's a cool project, and can see why someone might want to participate in it more than I do, on that basis. Anyhow, there are better threads for discussing other coins.

Can you describe shortly that interesting features of boolberry? I looked at their thread, and found nothing interesting.

But Tacotime said interesting thing - there are lot of bugs inherited from so-called "reference" cryptonote coin source - bytecoin.
And to fix that bugs - that is fundamental goal on this stage of cryptonote, not other insteresting features. To verify cryptonote white paper, and proof it - that is the goal on this stage.

Do you agree?

1000 blocks downloaded, 103k to go Lips sealed

If this does not get the thing to work, I DON'T care if it would be even a golden coin.
Dev team should think about it BEFORE they even started publishing anything.
And if dev team fails - success is equal to zero.

as was already explained, the software is in alpha

your posts sound like you feel you're entitled to something...

Failure to cross-platform serialize was an internal failure from the ByteCoin code, hence we updated our codebase to include mnemonic seeds to generate keys that function easily across platforms.

Unfortunately, we inherited a lot of bad code, but we're doing our best to fix it now.

Consider rewrite Monero from scratch on Haskell

Other teams like boolberry try to implement shit-features over unchecked copy-paste source code of bytecoin (being first cryptonote try-implemenation).

Decentrolized anonimity is very dufficult fundamental feature. Before saying that, just try to understand cryptonote protocol in context of various types of attacks.

Give developers TIME to do what you wish - they DO KNOW about the problem.

But again, with official 64-bit blockchain.bin being downloaded, and 64-bit binaries being running - I confirm on 3 different computers - all works fine!
Slow, yes, but quite perfectly, believe.

So, looks like I'll have to download entire blockchain, as I do not want to change my system.
If that does not works, will have to move to other coin that is not that buggy.

Sure, I did it immediately, if there were fundamental candidates. But Monero is most fundamental coin to the day. Not only it is strictly anonymous, it has double-spend proof even in case 51% attack.

Among other cryptonote coins, Monero devs focused on make the coin conservatively robust and durable. Other teams like boolberry try to implement shit-features over unchecked copy-paste source code of bytecoin (being first cryptonote try-implemenation).

On the psychological level, imagine, may coin with name "boolberry" or "phantomcoin" be the #2 in the world after bitcoin? NO.

Monero CAN if devs will be sequentially active and accurate. It CAN be #1 due to fundamental Bitcoin problems.

Are you having any issues the way you have it now? If not, then you don't necessarily need to switch.

Tacotime & Fluffyponyza!

By make 32-bit-to-64-bit migration instructions sticky on 1st page of this thread and in other std. places (reddit, official site, etc.),
you save most of the newbies here!

Look how fast exe-file memory footprint moves close to 2-3Gb virtual address space boundary for 32-bit operating systems!

Other guys, migrate to 64-bit binaries if you can!

There is a setting you can change on windows to get 3gb and buy some time.

Quote from: ?? on ??

you can't really lose anything if you backup your .bin.keys

32 and 64bit are different keys... not same - just tested on 64-bit Windows - can't load wallet.

That's correct. Serialization is not the same. You need to save your mnemonic phrase that's generated when you first create the wallet.

I had 32-bit wallet.bin, then I simply deleted it, but keep other wallet.* files, then I downloaded 64-bit monero binaries, and 64-bit blockchain.bin.
Then I started bitmonerod, and after full sync, started "simplewallet --wallet-file wallet.bin" (the name of file I've just deleted),

and voila! 64-bit simplewallet.exe re-creted new 64-bin wallet.bin for me (after I typed "exit").

Now I feel good with all my XMR coins with 64-bit monero binaries under 64-bit Windows!
