This is great, thanks for the share! Also, I'm glad to hear XMR is being added to Coinomi. I already use it so now I'll have the ability to store my XMR on my phone instead of my usual exchanges and mymonero.com

You can already use a mobile wallet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m2049r.xmrwallet#

Update on current and future achievements regarding XMR adoption.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6juluf/any_new_updates_on_xmr_adoption/
Summarized it seems that the devs are making Monero now quite easier to adopt. Also - the work on mobile wallets is very unique and great.
If the cryptoworld actually has some logic(which I from time to time doubt) and any financial/economic culture Monero should be at top 3 coins.

I have an extra laptop with plenty of space and doing nothing just sitting around my house. I was thinking of setting up a monero node but not sure what the benefits are. Is there any incentive for runnng a node? I have seen various things about it but all are pretty dated. Can anyone point me in the right direction to the pros and cons of running a node?

There is a road map here.
https://getmonero.org/resources/roadmap/

Multi-sig is assigned to be an ongoing task and this year. When it will be completed?

There has been discussion that coinbase will list Monero after the multisig is completed. After multisig implementation how long will it take when coinbase lists monero?

Isn't listing monero on coinbase like playing pornography in a monastery?

Yea.

The wallet's saying that alternate blocks have been added at 1410885, 1410886, and 1411461 (two blocks). What's up with that?

Those are just orphaned blocks. You can safely ignore that message.

Hackers Exploiting Microsoft Servers to Mine Monero - Makes $63,000 In 3 Months

Mining cryptocurrencies can be a costly investment as it takes a monstrous amount of computing power, and thus hackers have started using malware that steals computing resources of computers it hijacks to make lots of dollars in digital currency.
Security researchers at security firm ESET have spotted one such malware that infected hundreds of Windows web servers with a malicious cryptocurrency miner and helps cybercriminals made more than $63,000 worth of Monero (XMR) in just three months.
According to a report published by ESET today, cybercriminals only made modifications to legitimate open source Monero mining software and exploited a known vulnerability in Microsoft IIS 6.0 to secretly install the miner on unpatched Windows servers.

Source : https://thehackernews.com/2017/09/windows-monero-miners.html?m=1

Experts at the ESET security company discovered cybercriminals who exploited Microsoft servers to mine Monero (XMR) and raised a total of $ 63,000 in three months of attack. Mining cripto-coins is a profitable business, but at the same time it is expensive because it requires a significant investment in computing power. The group of hackers known as "Crooks" is using malicious code that steals computing resources from the victim's machine for crypto-coin mining, and the number of such attacks continues to increase. The "Crooks" modified the mining code of Monero to exploit a vulnerability known as CVE-2017-7269 in Microsoft IIS 6.0 to deploy the miner to Windows servers.

Funny that we still have webdav vulnerabilities in 2017. Windows servers are better off mining monero than serving websites anyway.

FYI... IIS 6.0 came out with Windows Server 2003 and is no longer supported, also in Windows XP Pro 64bit. On top of that, there are companies that I've worked for in the past that had legacy apps running on these old servers and would put them on a "do not patch" list because they were afraid of causing unexpected conflicts with older legacy apps and then not having resources available to find and fix the problems. They know they are taking a risk but can't move and change fast enough to actually solve the problem, that was one good reason to leave.

I find that hilarious, thanks for sharing.

I wonder why web admins use Linux servers 90% of the time.

I still wonder why general consumers use Windows 90% of the time, despite the wannacry stuff and other fiascos.

That would be because M$ uses tactics like forcing OS upgrades to use directx and has created proprietary formats that only their products can use therefore when a consumer tries to move to another OS they cannot use the programs they previously used and most are unable to find and use a new set of programs to replace the ones they rely on and end up giving up and reverting. By controlling the gaming market they get every generation when they are young hooked on Winblows.
