If you updated monero master within the last 24 hours, please revert. There's currently a bad commit, and a patch waiting to be merged as soon as someone with write access is around to do so. Do not use the current master on mainnet until this is merged.
Do you know when the patch will be ready?

Can somebody explain to me if what this guy claims is true or not, or how exactly does Monero work:


Did you even READ what Toknormal said?  There is no "Hopium" as you can SEE everything done on the blockchain, you simply can't TRACE it.  The Inputs and outputs are clear, Dash mixes by creating exactly the same denominations and entering them in the block chain at the same time, input = output and thus with one round, an output has 3 possible inputs.  Do this once, you have the same amount of "mixing" as Monero has.  But there is a possibility that the Masternode, who only gets chosen 1:4500 times, is spying, so we allow for as many rounds of mixing as you care to do.  After 8 rounds of mixing, even if someone can spy with 80% of the masternodes, the likelihood of seeing where funds are is minuscule.  And that's basically for the paranoid, because Masternodes are well distributed and all over the world.

In Monero, you can not see the blockchain.  Inputs and outputs are obfuscated in a mess.  Which by the way, how do you know there is no key to unravel?  Dash does this with logic, not mathematical trickery.  Who can know if there is a key to unravel a "one way encryption"?  This part I may be ignorant on, but as I can't understand it, I don't trust it.  They already had their system cracked a couple of years ago, with all previous transactions exposed, how do we know that won't happen again?  Dash uses pure logic and statistics.  With that, you can keep a transparent blockchain that can be audited to make sure it is functioning properly, that no extra coins were somehow inserted that weren't part of the rewards produced, etc...  It also allows for functions where a transparent blockchain is desirable, such as charities that want to show how their funds are spent, or the Core team, who do not mix their funds, and clearly show how they are spending funds so we can see if they are trustworthy or not. 

And without the transparent blockchain, without this system of Masternodes, without the budget system, there could be no Evolution.  Evolution will be a completely decentralized yet easy to use system, like logging into your bank account, moving funds to different "accounts" and making payments as easily as Paypal.  ALL DECENTRALIZED!!!  No "3rd party service" which is what web wallets are, BTW, so know your funds are as at risk there as they are in an exchange.

Anyway, I hope this helps, if you still don't see the value, please stop shilling Monero here, you won't get anywhere with it with this audience.


Specifically interested about the part where he claims that an additional "master key" can be inserted into the protocol as a backdoor to reveal all public keys with it.

It seems like a lot of people are confusing Monero with Zcash's closed trusted setup.

Please explain.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.
Wait until the press discovers in-browser XMR mining is the hot new alternative to old & busted google ads.

Coinhive set off a chain reaction; the ecosystem is in full ferment, bubbling with creativity.

Harvest - Distributed Browser Blockchain (Monero) | Open Source Specification

https://github.com/KamesCG/harvest


"Monero is perfect for mass-adoption. The underlying CryptoNote algorithm is specifically designed for CPUs (compared to GPU or ASIC). Therefore, it's suitable for devices that a vast majority of people already own. In my opinion, it provides a very interesting, and large, niche for the Monero Blockchain."

I'm running into another type of trouble with the GUI as well... Is there someone who is familiar with the GUI help me out with a problem I'm having verifying a transaction? I created a new wallet for someone and there was a transaction going to that wallet and the wallet doesn't show the transaction arrived... but after looking at xmrchain.net and using the private view key it shows the transaction is there.

I tried rescanning the wallet balance, but it just tells me "Successfully rescanned spent outputs" without the transaction showing up.  I've also closed out of the wallet and reopened the wallet using the mnemonic seed and checking that the daemon is all the way synced up, plus try to verify the transaction using the address, tx id, and tx key to no avail... Am I doing something wrong here?

What did you use as restore height?

I didn't set it to restore at a specific height, I think it restored from the beginning... but maybe I didn't. How do I rescan/restore the wallet in the GUI if I already created the wallet?

EDIT: well this is interesting... I just downloaded the CLI and started up my node and it says that it is 5 days behind even though my "GUI node" was running this whole time.  I wonder how that happened?

EDIT #2: Also, whoever is in control of the OP might want to edit in the current v0.11.0.0 downloads/download hashes

Is there any ready fuctioning decentralized Internet available?

Zeronet! I love zeronet! https://zeronet.io/ If you decide to check it out hit me up. Just say its you in the thunderwave.bit chat. Maybe we can make some monero related stuff. Maybe a subredit on zerovoat or our own thunderwave clone for monero chat.

Seriously guys. Zeronet is so cool.

I have not tried these yet and have not been chatting there. Looks great anyway I will check these. Thanks.

What is this Zeronet? Something like TOR? And how can it be used to increase the privacy of XMR?

I can't get the gui to connect to a remote node.  This is the first time I'm trying to use the gui.  I've been using the CLI for a long time.
I have a VPS in Europe that I'm trying to connect to.  I know that it's running and synced because I just tried it with the cli.
So I open the gui and go to settings, type the daemon address and port.  Hit connect. 
I don't see anything happening, so I click on Show Status.
A box pops up with the error message
error: couldn't connect to daemon: 127.0.0.1:18081
which as you can probably tell is not the address of my vps.
How do I get this to work?

I just started mining monero, is this site legit or should I stop using it?  http://www.monero-miner.com/ I want to know if others are using it and if they are earning from it real Monerao. I am trying it out for the first time today..
It's legit but they have a brutal 30% fee, it uses subpar javascript wasm miner that gets you 50% of the hashes a native miner can get. Check http://moneropools.com/ for real stratum pools where you can use native cpu miners as well as gpu.

Thanks for the reply, currently I am at 131k shares and now put it on 3 computers lol, so let's see in 61 hours when they say it spits a payment what I will get. Even if I mine a couple of bucks of MONERO a day I will be happy and just save it for long term holding. Who knows I might get a few referrals also who might wanna try it out so I can get more hashing power that way.  Grin

What is the minimum payout?   I doubt you will get anything in less than a few weeks.

Guys watch out, the moneropools link has a Js injector script.

What the fuck are you talking about knob?

Tell me dickbrain, which one of these scripts "injects" anything?
That's my site. I heard of a few people that it causes some AVs to go nuts about some random JS injection thing... I figured it was the $.get() I used, since it would allow XSS attacks if one of the pools apis would send malitious data. I replaced it with getJSON() weeks ago, but some AVs still complain. I wonder why...
