So if one can't see the distribution of this coin how do we know there wasn't a giant premine or some way for the devs to just "counterfeit" coins en masse? Huh

Easy, write the block chain explorer that hasn't yet bubbled up to the top of the development list for the devs that are working hard (and with no bounties) on implementing and extending a new to the most of us coin technology. This crypto is not like btc so tools like a block explorer have to be created without the aide of copy and paste. 80 + pages of comments seem to make this fairly clear.

Too blunt?

To answer that question, we must first establish what you mean by "premine". Mining has been available to the community from inception. That is the opposite of what is usually meant by "premine". The community was small at inception, but grew very rapidly. These facts are easily learned by reviewing the forum history, the block chain. I would be much more concerned that the bulk of the coins are likely being mined by botnets.

These are two different things. By distribution, we mean how are coins distributed across addresses. That's relatively meaningless with stealth addressing implemented.

But there is still a blockchain so you can check the blocks yourself to see when the chain started and how many coins the blocks produced. This is no different from Bitcoin or any Bitcoin clone.

I am baffled by the complete lack of instructions for the software associated with this coin. Can someone put some instructions on how to get started with the wallet and mining? I am sure there is something within one of these 80+ pages but do we all have to reinvent the wheel?

OK, I ate my own words after looking at monero.cc.

It was linked under "Getting Started" in the OP.

so this is the command i used

wget -o blockchain.bin https://drive.google.com/uc?id=0B7RQILpPGrQbUGthNmVJM3RCNDQ&export=download

and this is the error im getting

wget: blockchain.bin: Permission denied

thats what it looks like?? any ideas

Possibly b/c the name of the file at that link is "blockchain (1).bin" or "blockchain-unix-2014-05-08.bin"?

i still cannot install it i get the same error as above when i type: make -j command at the end

im trying to update the g++ but for some reason its not letting me

This might work

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y gcc-4.8 g++-4.8
sudo update-alternatives --remove gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.6
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.8 120 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-4.8

Replace gcc-4.6 with your current gcc version.

wow it looks like it is actually working now!! i cannot wait and is the command to mine?

./bitmonerod --start-mining MRO_address --mining-threads number_of_threads

i cannot thank you enough this was bugging me all day and im not that savvy with linux

You probably want to download the linux blockchain and put it into ~/.bitmonero to save a huge amount of sync time. That is the right command. If it doesn't start mining after you are synced type into bitmonerod

Code:

start_mining MRO_address number_of_threads

And then you can view your hashrate by typing

Code:

show_hr

thank you so much i appreciate it alot, but for some reason the link for the blockchain is broken is there another link?

With a block height of 38799 there should be about 17.2*38799 = 667k coins in existence right now.

Can someone explain to me why on earth you would have a platform-dependent blockchain/wallet file format?

It's not that hard to make a change which provides both backward-compatibility and platform-independence, but those who can do it mostly have other priorities.

I know in CryptoNote technology, blockchain formats between Windows and Linux systems differ.
But is this the case with the wallet file formats? I couldn't open a wallet file created with Ubuntu in a Windows environment.
Also I want to know if this applies to Bitcoin-Qt software (blockchain, wallet file). Thanks.

any help 12.04 ubuntu

Outdated compiler (it doesn't seem to support -std=c++11). Update to a newer g++.

Is there any way to see what the distribution of this coin is?

No, it's anonymous (which is the point Tongue

). A separate public key is generated for each input and they're difficult to link by blockchain analysis.
