So whats up with the hard fork, how did it went, and how much time did it took to activate?

The planned protocol update went fine, it took two minutes.

Wow isn't that hasty?

Isn't this supposed to be a decentralized community. I mean sure people might have high agreement rate in a small community but still 2 minutes?

There are always disagreements, in a decentralized community, it would normally take a lot of time until consensus is reached. Is the Monero community not decentralized enough? How many nodes are there?

I see what you did there, LOL

For those that want to see node distribution here is a nice linky.

https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html

I see, we have 1000+ nodes that is nice for an altcoin other than BTC.

I just don't get how fast it can happen? Did the nodes pre-signal the update? Is that a possibility?

Or did they need to download a new software and restart their node client. I am not exactly sure how the upgrading procedure works. I know for BTC you have to download a new software and replace the old one.

I am just not sure how can that be done in 2 minutes for 1000 nodes.

Love seeing these main projects have one huge, ongoing thread on BTCtalk, it's like a conversation ledger. Too bad it's not decentralized...

Normally Monero updates go about without any drama thats why it's on a regular schedule so there is time for the updates to be tested on testnet like any project worth it's salt will do before rolling an update out that will HF. Any project that has continuous issues on updates is in the hands of inept Developers and should not be trusted. This is not some game that your character may get lost this is actual currency and alot of these fly by night gimmick coins don't seem to get that and have to roll out multiple patches to fix their initial incompetence. It's amusing to watch them run around and try to find a competent Dev to save them. Or worse yet have to break immutability and destroy any credibility they initially had.

Could ETH or BTC implement features which will make Monero obsolete?

I've heard the Ring?? algorithm is the best there is for privacy.

No, But the opposite is quite true.

Does monero have plans to facilitate turing complete on chain scripting? If not than I don't see how it could make eth obsolete.

I said possible not probable. It's impossible for that touring complete shitshow to ever become backwardly fungible nor immutable.

Well a FFS was just funded for a person that has been giving presentations all throughout Europe. BTW this was the 3rd FFS that was funded all for relatively small amounts.

There is quite a bit going on in Monero but you won't know about it if you are only on bct

So where can we get a list of these places? AFA reddit goes I just cannot follow the conversations there with the posts all jumbled up. XMR started here and the main thread should be updated with all these developments you speak of. dEBRUYNE does a great job of dropping things like software updates and crowdfunding requests but the "quite a bit going on" should at least be linked in the main thread.

Obviously this should be the place but it isn't.

So Long Bitcointalk, and Thanks for All the Phish

"Bitcointalk is not a good environment if we want serious discussion about Monero. That much should be obvious. At some point we have to start cutting the apron strings and disconnecting from Bitcoin, especially since we share few common goals and no common code. It would be unfair of us to force newcomers interested in Monero to dig through thousands of scamcoin, shill, and troll posts on bitcointalk to find the occasional gem of information."

"Additionally, you cannot possibly convince me that people needing help in running and using Monero should all gather in a single thread on a Bitcoin forum?? Nah, we've done our time here, there's no value in maintaining all the Monero threads on Bitcointalk. Anyone here who needs to know about Monero already does know about Monero;)"

Wallet Offline on bittrex, why? Anyone know ?

Probably haven't updated to 0.11 and got booted off the network

They did properly update, but forgot to bump the minimum ring size to 5 for their transactions. As a result, their transactions got rejected by the network.
