Interesting.
Thank you.

2 weeks.

When will we get a monero GUI? - this year ?

We'll probably revisit it with ringct, which changes somewhat how fees work. Making these sorts of changes every time the market fluctuates up or down does not make sense.

Why hasn't the transaction fee been lowered? 0.01XMR is a lot.

I have successfully restored a wallet using only the .keys file as outlined here:
https://forum.getmonero.org/5/support/2492/restore-from-wallet-bin-keys

Just the .keys file

What files are needed to restore the wallet?

I was recently prodded again about a new github feature, which allows people to upload their public key to github, which allows github to check a commit's signature and display a "verified" label near a commit. I didn't really want to upload my key, because this totally defeats the purpose of GPG keys, since you're relying on a third party to check keys for you and tell you that, honest, they checked it for you, and it's fine. This is vulnerable to github being pwned, the contributor's github account being compromised, your connection being MITM'd, etc.

I created a script that checks signatures before building, which if vulnerable to only a subset of the above vulnerabilities. This script is not in the monero tree (since an attacker compromising the tree or github can just replace it for you to run next), and is meant for you to drop in your existing monero tree, and run it from there instead of make. It runs make after checking signatures (and exits without running make if anything fails).

To use it, replace "make" with "./checkmake.sh" (or checkmake.sh if you copy the script to somewhere in your PATH). The first time you use it, you need to add --update-keys, which will copy the public keys from the monero tree to a specialplace. If and when a new key is added to the monero tree, you can run ./checkmake.sh --update-kes again if and when you're satisfied this key is legit. This is not done automatically since an attacker compromising github or a contributor's account could just add a new public key to the tree with a signature matching that one.

To start using this script, save it (and not copy/paste it, to be sure you get the exact data) from https://paste.fedoraproject.org/382787/46654137/raw/, and check its signature from https://paste.fedoraproject.org/383014/58223714/raw/, which should be a good signature from my key which is in the monero tree: gpg --verify checkmake.sh.asc. If you don't have my key already in gpg: gpg --import utils/gpg_keys/moneromooo.asc. Once the signature is checked to be good from that key (4D6CEFC3), you can run it as above. If my key checks out but warns about the key not being trusted, this is fine, it is because you did not tell gpg to trust the key.

For old wallets yes. Newer wallets use that by default.

Correct

That is correct. A GUI just builds upon the functionality that is already available in the command line wallet and makes it nice and shiny and fun and easy to use for everyone.

Dear Troll Dev,

     There were 4 more pull requests merged today.  There were also several GUI commits.

         
Question please.  I believe that the GUI doesn't need a hard fork.  Is that correct?

Just make stuff up!

Its going to be released in 2 weeks. I'm a troll dev. You can trust me.

I suppose you're asking if any Monero holders have >= $1M in Monero? If anyone wants to respond, they can, but I think it's great that we can't tell by looking at the Monero blockchain like someone can with BTC or other coins. There is no "rich list" (http://moneroblocks.info/richlist) since Monero is private...and that's awesome.

There is a millionaire in the topic?

need to set store-tx-key 1 first

or something like that

type "set" in simplewallet to find the right syntax

It has been said over and over again that there is no specific ETA, so why do bother asking? You can follow the work here:

I'd suggest determining yourself.
