Monero can't replace Bitcoin (for now) but Litecoin is easy target.

100% Litecoin the one you want to knock off, at this point in time it really serves no useful purpose.

I would also like to see Ripples lose their market share, it's worrying that they are worth so much.

I predict that within 4 months XMR will exceed and hold steady above LTC's marketcap.

Over 511 nodes up and running at the moment.   Smiley

Acceptance and growth.  Good signs IMO

 

Seen it earlier at 524. Much higher than 6 months ago when it was at 100 or so.

Yeah and everyone was calling me an asshole for digging into the RPC. I warned you all it was a point of vulnerability and no-one would listen.

And we will do it again unless it's more than HYPOTHETICAL! RANDOM THOUGHT! WHAT IF!

Some dude wants to develop another GUI for a mere 200 XMR.

https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/86924/nice-gui-wallet

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/53lsqv/anyone_interested_in_an_alternative_gui_wallet/

He says he can do it in 1.5 weeks.

If you think the proposal is worth funding, please post on the forum.

Worst case scenario, he misses the 1.5 week deadline and the Core Devs get 200 XMR....

He should build the UI, and provide a donation address. If the UI is successful, he will get enough donations for his work.

Btw, what would be the minimum requirements for a UI? Create wallet, view wallet address and balance, view last transactions, send transaction. Would this already cover 90% of the main use cases?

I haven't installed  Wolfram Warptangent yet but it looks like I will do so on a brand new computer.  My 2+ year old <$300 comp's HDD  just died.  Of course nothing is backed up except on the computer itself. I have seeds.

I'll need to get one off the shelf tomorrow probably at Micro Center.  Any advice for the resident company idiot?

Try to get one with a ssd hd, and make sure you don't get some really old/refurbished cheap one that has a cpu without aes-ni.

Now that I feel rich I can get a nice one. I'll just use that new credit card I got.  What's one more maxed out credit card?

I love my Asus. Looks like they are taking styling classes from alienware now.

God damn it Carl.  You had one job!   Cheesy

I'll just use that new credit card I got.  What's one more maxed out credit card?

You are joking right?

No.  Do I pay off CC or buy more Monero?  Obviously buy more Monero.  One of the best things I ever did.  Less than 2 years ago I was eying the last can of beans on the shelf. Now I have beans and Monero.

Buying on margin?  What could possibly go wrong?



Just kidding you guys...  Cheesy

Nioc, you need a Dell workstation.  Precision or GTFO.

I'm glad it worked out for you but remember you haven't truly won until you cash in your chips. Maybe it's a good time to take some profit off the table and pay off those high interest loans?

This is coming from someone who has never carried a balance of even 1 penny ever in his life so your story terrifies me. Cheesy

Sometimes its the right move.  Worked for me, as described, except I played some margin to pay it all off on this rise without actually selling any of my moneroj.  Finally.  And CC doesn't always mean 'high' interest.  Most of mine were 3-6% until about a year ago when the banks started dicking me around.  Now I just give them the finger they most deserve  Grin

They try to lure me with card signup bonuses, so I take them, pay off my balance, and move on to the next card when I fulfill the requirements. My little way of sticking it to the credit card companies Smiley Locally, I tend to spend cash though to help out business owners on tx fees

A few comparisons between 0.9.4.0 and 0.10.0.0
My computer has a quad-core Intel Ivy Bridge cpu with 16GB of RAM and two rotating hard drives in (mainboard controlled) RAID1.

Amount of synchronized blocks (approx) before every mapsize increase
Code:
NewMapsize   0.9.4.0  0.10.0.0
   2048MiB     73821     78841
   3072MiB     88821    103841
   4096MiB    130833    174948
   5120MiB    185839    271848
   6144MiB    261838    430908
   7168MiB    378911    620000
   8192MiB    511505    848980
   9216MiB    675953   1025977
  10240MiB    851832   1127976
  11264MiB   1008979     n/a
  12288MiB   1095977     n/a

Database size (obviously 0.10.0.0 has a few more blocks in it)
Code:
0.10.0.0  7.56GB
 0.9.4.0  9.62GB

Time to sync every 50k blocks in min:sec (approx)
--db-sync-mode fast:async:1000
               fast:async:10000
               fastest:async:1000
               fastest:async:10000
  block   0.9.4.0  0.10.0.0
  50000    11:13    05:11
 100000    40:55    68:43
 150000    50:32    23:29
 200000    57:22    55:10
 250000    51:28    47:36
 300000    56:17    36:39
 350000    64:02    40:06

 500000    86:26    41:24
 550000    77:22    40:01
 600000             34:07
 650000    30:12    31:36
 700000    37:10    34:01
 750000    32:37    10:49
 800000    32:28    11:29
 850000    33:17    12:52
 900000    33:59    11:25
 950000    35:59    12:25
1000000    42:03    12:09
1050000   109:23    18:27
1100000    83:18    13:27


One curiosity about 0.9.4.0, when increasing mapsize from 7GB to 8GB, it showed the message "[batch] DB resize needed" instead of the usual "LMDB memory map needs resized, doing that now."
