Monero is up for voting on this site: https://www.swaphole.com/#!voting

It's a new exchange, so the level of reliability is unknown. But take a second and vote here or anywhere else you find MRO listed for more visibility.

Agree. Cooperation with TFT can lead to a better upgrading
IMO that TFT knows what community need. He was one of the first guys to make bytecoin fork. I mean BitMonero.

+136457.057383956

Progress Update: The code is C#(Network code) + C++/CLI (Crypto etc.)

Some of the native functions are done as of now

UPDATE 2: All done as far as required right now

When the GUI come?

If you want to defeat bytecoin you need to get ahead them

I agree. BTC and MRO would not directly compete: there is market for traceable transaction (public funding, donations...)

Ah thanks, fully synced now

That would be fine with me.  In general, I will hold my wealth in BTC, and use MRO when I want assurance of transactional privacy.  I will hold MRO reserves only in a small degree, until its competitive situation is clarified.  This is similar to the way Bitpay uses BTC as a transmission vehicle for USD.  Bearish speculators complain that this means sales of BTC, but in fact it increases the value of BTC by adding liquidity (as well as churning demand).  If MRO had the liquidity of BTC, it would have a similar level of utility, and people would use it in preference to BTC when they required transactional privacy which BTC does not offer.  The combination of liquidity and moderate downside risk, when it is present, will create a reserve demand, but until then the only sources of MRO demand will be speculation and payment transmission. 

I don't think it is reasonable to think that you can kick-start an alt economy with merchants and consumers.  Why would anyone choose to denominate their transactions in a minor alt unless it has proven itself to be a long-term value appreciation vehicle?  One tends to denominate transactions in the destination currency.  Plenty of people prefer BTC to USD for reserves, but does anyone yet prefer MRO to BTC for reserves?  Certainly not enough to create an independent economy.  MRO is good for what its good for.  In my opinion that is enough to insure that it is competing for a viable niche in the ecosystem.  It's relative fitness in competing for that niche has yet to be seen, and will be largely determined by (1) software engineering, and (2) the culture manifested in this thread, at this point.  When an exchange takes up MRO, that will simultaneously improve its fitness and provide an market-based measure of that fitness.

Awesome, thanks

On each bitmonerod you type:

start_mining   xxxyouraddressxxx   xxxnumberofthreadsxxx

so this way you can mine with all your VMs on a single wallet address


It doesnt matter if it is windows or linux. And you dont need to have your wallet running.

Blockheight is now at 33649. You can download the blockchain as of May 8 in the OP to save time.

Hello. I like what I see here, so I'm going to get back into mining. Excited! I just wondered if any of you can help with a couple questions I have.

1. After setting up a machine with Ubuntu to mine, I was going to take an image of it and install the image on a couple more machines. Would I be able to start mining on all three machines to the same wallet address simultaneously?

2. If I install yet another instance on a Windows machine with a different wallet address, could I mine on the Ubuntu machines directly to the wallet address on the Windows machine? If so, does the Windows wallet need to be running at the same time?

Thanks folks

Guys, what is the blockheight now?

Trying to figure out how long it'll take until monero is fully synced.

Correct .

I did manage to get the JSON RPC calls working (although the JSON RPC of the daemon is not always actual JSON RPC, but just a HTTP POST to hostname:port/getinfo for example which returns simple JSON). I used the code from by bitcoind RPC wrapper (see link in my signature), it works in pretty much the same way.

^He didn't. He's just watching the logs of the simplewallet and bitmonerod and sending commands to them. The API is not used as I understand it.

How did you setup the JSON RPC API for daemon?

For anyone interested in trying out a Monero GUI wallet for Windows: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6654252.

I have made a graphical wrapper around the standard command line wallet and daemon. Check the link for details.

Exchange?
Maybe better idea is to start some services where you can usually use this coin?
Do we really want to be just another alt that people trade for BTC?

imo the best exchange to contact
