Okay, merge mining is now a clusterfuck because people are voting for it if they grab the source from github without even know it.

Sigh.

TFT already said he's going to change that. Hopefully he does that in such a way that the people who have already grabbed it don't count as votes without knowing about it.

Where?  Config looked like this:
Code:
#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MAJOR_VERSION                     1
#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MINOR_VERSION                     0

Now it looks like this:
Code:
#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MAJOR_VERSION                     1
#define CURRENT_BLOCK_MINOR_VERSION                     1

Boost can be a pain to install and include properly in Ubuntu builds earlier than 13.10.

If you run Ubuntu 13.10, the setup steps work perfectly with no need to check dependencies. I'm saying because I spent a couple pointless hours trying to install in 12.04 until I decided to follow to the letter, updated 12.04 > 12.10 > 13.10 and then everything installed smooth and easy following the steps in that post.

Make sure you have correct dependencies:



On *nix:

Dependencies: GCC 4.7.3 or later, CMake 2.8.6 or later, and Boost 1.53 or later (except 1.54


Sounds like Boost issue.  Maybe you Boost 1.54?

Looks like it didn't finish compiling, so the daemon executable is not there yet. Did you follow these steps?

TFT has started a proposal thread for anyone wanting to be on a merge mined fork:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bmr-merged-mining-in-bitmonero-proposal-584893

Warning. He has rigged the voting so that anyone who simply downloads the source from github and builds it will be voting in favor of merged mining invisibly and by default.


He has agreed to change this.

Do we have a giveaway fund for new users? Good idea? Bad idea?

Seems like its really hard for them to get their first coins on their own with mining now given there is no pool yet.


I am giving away a few to new users if they PM me.  However, giveaway threads are technically banned.

"That other coin" is doing a giveaway. I think the threads are only banned if people get paid for posting. If they sign up on a web site or PM, etc. then it is apparently allowed.

Has anyone successfully gotten the daemon and wallet to compile under Windows? I am trying to compile a more optimized version for higher hash rate (AVX 64 bit) and am stuck in CMake trying to get Boost libraries linked properly:

Are you using compiled boost libraries for msvc11? (aka v2012).

Yeah my laptop hasn't found anything for a couple of days now. It's starting to get pretty high diff.

Many other latin languages. Esperanto has a tendancy to confuse "universal" and "latin-based".

There is broader commonality among languages than that. For example, Russian is not normally described as Latin-based, yet its terms for money and coin are also similar.

Universal is certainly not true though, you are right about that.

I updated the info on The CPU Coin List to show the new name.

Why was Monero chosen as the new name?
It is "coin" in Esperanto.
This, plus people did not like bitmonero. And finally, this would be 4-syllables words, to cumbersome (ideal is 2-3 syllables). Oh! And it was not chosen, it was voted (well, that's a sort of choice, but I want to emphasize that it was democratic, although there was not a lot of person on IRC).

Also it is said to be close to the word for money/coin/currency in many other languages.
Many other latin languages. Esperanto has a tendancy to confuse "universal" and "latin-based".

That being said, I confirm it:
French: monnaie
Spanish: dinero

and 4 more threads to follow, so I got a bit upset of the mess I found.
This also show how young and dynamic this it. Consider any scrypt/shacoins out there. In a way, this is very mature/boring/ordinated: everything in one single thread.

So, although I can understand how it can be confusing, I see there an energy I don't see in other bitcoin-based coins (although some are very dynamic but more money-oriented than discovery-oriented).
