Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 1885. (Read 4671953 times)

ISO 4217 was definitely not deviced with crypto currencies in mind. In only 3 letters with 1 already reserved (X), there is simply not enough name space to represent all relevant crypto currencies in a recognizable way. Furthermore submitting to those established standards means to submit to the establishment.

Your logo choice exemplifies this course of action further. It is arguably plain and doesnt have any special features that express anything Monero stands for (whatever that is). Id like to understand your reasoning behind your choice. If you indeed payed a professional company to design it for you, they will have certainly asked what you would like to express with it and what your vision is for this project. From what they delivered, I can only tell that you try to fit in with the established norms and customs. If you hope to fleece regulators and the scrutiny of law makers with this approach, I can assure you that you will only get so far before they uncover the anonymous and "potentially dangerous" nature of this technology. You can cloak this project as plainly as you like, you wont hide from their scrutiny for long. When it comes to open arguments among SEC, FinTrac, Monero community & Co. your cover will be blown and you have to come up with some good arguments to justify the degree of privacy Monero dares to provide. Rather then trying to doge the magic bullet, I would advise you to openly tackle the debate with arguments of rights to privacy, abuse of administrative power and civil liberties. Maybe not today but in the foreseeable future you have to step up to the challenge.

We are playing with a wrapper - but I don't think the RPC is the only bugbear here. A lot of the issue seems to stem from rigid design decisions - assuming that every user gets a unique deposit address (where Monero uses the same address but a different payment ID), assuming the unique deposit address will be generated by the daemon (so no infrastructure for creating random IDs and checking for collisions in a scalable fashion), assuming the address will always be X bytes/chars long, and so on. The amount of fundamental, underlying work required for an exchange that isn't well architected would be nightmarish.

Yup nobody selling anymore, wonder why Polo isn't the greatest exchange which doesn't help although it has improved in the last couple of days.

pool server is located in Germany

current volume is not high as first week.

high volume

Could you change the URL to:
https://www2.coinmine.pl/xmr/
xmr.coinmine.pl:5555

Also, can you tell us in which country your pool is located?

I was in mexico last year, and I saw dollar being marketed every where. I saw this in canada too. The dollar is markted everywhere. you are right, a currency to be dominant needs to be markted first. the country that backs it is of little to no significance.

It would be possible to provide a 99% compatible rpc interface however, making it relatively simpler to integrate with btc environments.

Just opened new pool (0% fee)

Same story here. I contacted Mintpal before we go to Poloniex. I suspect they pasted my answer when replying to Keyboard (or the other way around, when replying to me). . Then I contacted them again during our blitz introduction on Poloniex, at the top the game. Similar answer.

So I'd appreciate if people finally got it: We DID contacted Mintpal. Several times. Several of us. And we got explicit (and negative) answers.

I trust you to reply accordingly to the next newcomer who will ask the "M question" :-)

I like the logo personally, its something that can be tweaked and changed if really necessary. For now there are lots of other important things to do for the coin.

We've got someone working on sound-bite sized snippets to explain the facets and features of Monero, we'll probably find that cash-money-currency comes out a lot in those, so I don't fundamentally disagree with you:) It's more in terms of the logo not looking like an ancient Greek drachma than anything else. In other words: it shouldn't conjure up images of money from the logo, that's been done and basically every single altcoin logo I see nowadays has been "made" with this: http://graphicriver.net/item/coin-generator/2532303

I think time will tell how the logo goes. We had some really amazing submissions on our 99designs contest, and we settled on the one that was recommended to us by the experts. If anything gets redesigned or heavily tweaked it will be in the years to come; for the moment we're happy with our decision and we want to move on and focus on the real challenges (of which the logo wasn't one;))

We created two addresses for donations. Donations are not project-specific (we may create some project-specific addresses later) and are meant to help in development and raising awareness. The addresses also are on the OP.

Yay! cryptsy thread!

XMR topic on cryptsy : https://cryptsy.freshdesk.com/support/discussions/topics/4000277700

Thanks to the person who just made this topic on the cryptsy adding webpage. I tried to but I dont know why the format of my thread was terrible so I ended up editing/deleting it.

I think it's best to just tell people it's a form of money. If you try to get into all the nitty gritty details you'll lose their interest. If a talking head gets on TV and talks about Bitcoin to people in a retirement home the last thing they want to do is get into technical details and the potential for future uses. Just tell people it's money and they'll be satisfied and not that far from being wrong.

Anyway the whole reason the word money even came up was in my criticism of the new logo. I don't know, I just don't like the orange and black color, and it doesn't have that hip feel. Darkcoin's newest logo is actually one of the few logos in all of cryptocurrency that I really like and feel that it competes with the best corporate logos. It's sharp, simple, recognizable, unique... all of the attributes you want in a logo. This one is flat, circular, mismatching colors, boring, forgettable. Just my opinion! Not to hurt anyone's feelings who worked hard on it.

We're planning on changing it every month to keep everyone on their toes. If you don't know what the ticker is how can you know where to look for it? It's like security through obscurity but 150% better
