Well mimblewimble protocol coins are, but not those little scammy "projects"
hope you know, about who exactly im talking about

An perhaps someone who is keeping up to date wouldn't mind a post here to alert people.

You are welcome 
Just drop by on the official homepage ones a week and check for updates, respective to the githubrepo, that's always a good idea 

Didn't know there was a new version!  Thanks for telling me, upgraded and running 15.0.5 now.
I guess it wasn't publicized because it's not a hard fork?

You can safely ignore the message as long as you are running one of the v0.15 release versions (which you are).

Why don't you upgrade to 15.0.5 

It does not a matter for technical guys who seriously care about privacy. They do know how to do this without GUI wallet. For them, it has never been a big problem. For amateurs, I bet that how many of them seriously care about privacy. In contrast, most of them use Monero or invest in Monero as they see chances to get profits or see Monero investment or usages as a hot trend. They are FOMO invested or used Monero while they don't care to learn and know about the technique behind Monero.

This probably isn't a problem, but thought I'd ask anyway.  I'm curious what makes monerod print this error.  I am using --prune-blockchain
and it continued printing that error over and over again.
I exited the daemon and started it again, no error this time.
I am running

6 Years old and it seems like only yesterday we didn't have a GUI wallet.

Bulletproofs: verification speedup #6451

There are none, bitcoins solutions are all second layer and therefore inherently flawed.

Bitcoin transacted via the Lightning Network, using onion-routed transactions and other privacy features.  (All done over Tor for network-layer privacy, of course—of course, all on your own node and not with a custodial wallet.)  Or other advanced Bitcoin privacy techniques; but I will leave it at Lightning.

Transacting off-chain is strictly superior to using cryptographic techniques to hide information recorded in an append-only public ledger.  What is never on the blockchain doesn’t need to be hidden there!  This also means that no metadata is recorded on the blockchain—not even the fact that a transaction occurred around a certain time.

There is one other privacy coin with which I have substantial experience; it is the one considered to be XMR’s main competitor.  Its privacy is theoretically superior to XMR, with a transaction unlinkability set much larger than any mixin; but it has other problems that have made me miserable with it in practice.  Although I still have a small amount (as I also have some XMR), I don’t even want to name it here on the XMR thread.  Anyway, I am moving toward a 100% all-Bitcoin privacy setup, for my own part.

I am aware of some recent developments with coins that use MimbleWimble, but have not investigated those due to, again, refocusing on Bitcoin privacy.  I don’t know if they are any good.

Many other so-called “privacy coins” are SCAMS:  DASH, DeepOnion, and Verge, for some examples that I have investigated.  SCAMS.  AVOID the shitcoins with slick marketing, that do not actually protect your privacy.  “Privacy” is a big buzzword; and you should only trust privacy claims that have been thoroughly peer-reviewed by experts.

Anyway, if you need to ask this question, then you should probably just stick with XMR (or get on Lightning with Bitcoin...).  Monero has good cryptography.  Insofar as I can see, its principal weakness is the size of the unlinkability set for each transaction.  As a different factor that is also important, I note that it is the only coin that I know of which has truly decentralized, censorship-resistant mining, on commodity hardware which anybody can buy without exposing an interest in cryptocurrency.  (The reason why I myself do not do Bitcoin mining:  I can’t buy an ASIC with strong anonymity, and I can’t just use ordinary CPUs.)  If there were one altcoin feature that I could steal for Bitcoin, it would probably be RandomX, or some further development thereof.  (Yes, Bitcoin mining people, I am aware of all the reasons why that will not happen.)

Who are the main competitors to Monero? I mean technology wise. Is there another crypto with a better privacy technology?

I have no idea what is wrong with their nginx/Apache setup

That official site seems to be down for any links to it

here, these guys are fun

You guys that are trying to expand the Monero eco system need to get it on this.

I'm quite surprised we are not on this list right now.

Check out the Monero movie - Monero Means Money:

Weird how the price has felt so suppressed.

I have seen this rising volume chart rising higher up.


I tried to overlay it on the price chart from January, but they didnt seem to correlate.


i dont like "extrapolate" lets see the actual number.

The ratio with BTC has been increasing significantly lately.

Just ask and we will tell what code Monero is based on. I think you have made the mistake of thinking this is some shitcoin that has a bunch of tards that don't do their due diligence.



Did you know that if you had extrapolated what I posted above from this then you would have never got a reply from me?
