So what is considered Monero's birthday?  April 9th or April 25th?  Do we celebrate the fork or the launch of the initial bitmonero?

    This has important bug fixes to 0.9.3 Hydrogen Helix

    Fix remaining issues with coinbase transactions
    Removed connectivity_tool
    Switched to new Clang move diagnostics
    Added a new --generate-from-json flag to simplewallet to allow wallet creation from a JSON file
    Add a new and improved version of sweep_dust
    Various bug fixes to handle failures such as map resize failures and bad simplewallet exit[/li][/list]

    Same. 

    Correct, the blockchain is compatible. Therefore, you won't have to sync from scratch again.

        Yeah, that's what I meant about the block time and reward doubling. Emission remains the same. Thanks for the responses.

        Someone posed a question I can't answer, but seems important:

        I remember something about the block time and reward doubling. Did that happen already, and in short, what was the main reason?

        Reward merely doubled to take the longer blocktime (i.e. 1 to 2 minutes) into account. The reward per minute remained the same.

        Yes, did already happen with the recently successfully executed hard fork (average total amount of XMR found per hour remains the same though).
        You can read about the why here: https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2401/increasing-the-block-time

        Wait, did he had 89XMR of dust? Huh I saw he had only including unlocked dust: 1.442914014341
        I had the more or less the same amount of dust and around 280 xmr  all collected in small and even tiny inputs  and managed to send out all of them, but wallet had to split to 11 transactions, the fees were about 5XMR though. I used transfer_new, btw. I guess he was in the same boat. The remaining dust I successfully swiped out in the newest 0.9.4 wallet so we may consider this problem solved, hurray! Smiley

        5 XMR to retrieve 1.44, you are 3.56 in the hole, did you mean .5? 

        Can you explain how you transferred this with transfer_new?

        I had a little dust and tried to sweep_dust, didn't work, now with 0.9.4 I tried the new sweep_unmixable and it errors and didn't do anything I can't see my dust amount anymore.  Is there something you have to do to split it, or does simplewallet do it when you run the command? Is there anything I can do?  It was only .05 XMR, so no big loss but I guess it would be good to sweep it, even if I only get a small bit after fees, It only makes sense.

        A post from today from  The MEW Thread

        What is the current situation, on this pretty important topic?

        Are there people actively working (structured and systematic?) on
        • solving known issues,
        • developing knowledge & insight - to be able to give qualified suggestions and recommendation on the important decisions
        • or helping by coordinating & organizing our efforts and activities
        on all the upcoming questions, that are related to the huge challenge of developing a self-sustaining, healthy and active ecosystem and economy.

        This will be a very, very hard work and involve very complex decision problems. (A task all altcoins failed and Bitcoin still struggles with.) And given the environment, our deviation from the crypto-currency mainstream, the great once in a lifetime opportunity during the next months of becoming a/the leading privacy-related cryptocurrency (by winning and binding users, partners and support) and naturally growing the project with (the classic) network effect, the huge history of failed P2P- or crypto (currency)-projects and other basic (project) management-related finding/observations: it is safe to say: we only have one chance at growing the community. It is something, that will have a huge impact on Moneros future and existence.

        We really need good preparation, stamina, a mindset, culture & true conviction inside the community, that Monero can only succeed, if everybody helps, contributes and truly supports the idea of developing of the eco-system and economy, that is needed for the payment-system as (decentralized) P2P-network to exist & operate efficient and reaching a big enough user-base and acceptance-level, so the vision and ideas behind the project become reality. And the intended benefits & purposed improvements (based on the coins features and characteristics) will for the first time ever available to use and benefit from.
        (Which will push demand, trust, image of the project and prove it's concept, use cases, significance and justifys it's necessity.)


        - help with legal, long-term Monero e-business
        - write a list of companies/business contacts over the next weeks, that you could ask for acceptance (write maybe 10 names and think about their potential use cases, then contact 2 or 3 of them, around the 1.0 release)
        - we need legal, business cases that cant be realized without Monero
        - help newbies, be friendly and open
        - don't invest in stupid scams (that pop up, when a coin gains momentum, if u really, really cant help yourself ask someone knowledgeable inside the community about the person)
        - tell traders, haters or misinformed persons to GTFO with their complaints/comments about price development, market cap, the next mega great ICO in 2 days
        - clearly state in discussions that Monero is not about getting rich-quick or making early adopters happy
        - tell people asking about price estimations and potential pumps, that they are looking at the wrong coin and the chance is low
        - tell people not to buy Monero to have capital gains on investments (this just creates an unhealthy environment/estimations/feelings), better tell them, if they like the project they should support in any possible way by contributing and if they really want to buy they should research themselves for 1 or 2 months, look at other things, if they still have to much money they can buy like x00$)
        - talk and represent Monero as free, open alternative solution, it's a friendly offering complement to Bitcoin (not competitor and different feature-set, different use cases),
        emphasize the different code base)
        - try to build business cases, infrastructure and services, that doesn't depend on external third-parties like payment providers (Bitpay etc.), its worth the effort und much better long-term, don't wait with bigger projects/ideas, because there is no payment-provider and its to risky/inconvenient this way, do other smaller projects/services instead, we cant relay on payment providers like Bitcoin does (they are create dependencies and centralization, KML/KYC bullshit, they charge expensive fees, they dont share our vision or care about our motivation project, another big problem: they will make the supported coins exchangeable and equal, by offering the same standard featureset like Bitcoin, so Monero would be just another arbitrary coin without most of its real benefits and features, making its usage useless for customers and merchants)
        - i think we should friendly apply for addition in privacy-related linux distros like: Tails, Qubes, Kali, Backbox, BlackArch, etc.
        - as a P2P-network, I think it is a very good idea to have partnerships with other P2P-networks to support each other and run the other service on ones own host (we could ask people/projects running nodes in TOR like Torservers.net, globaleaks.org, JohnDoe-network, Freenet, owner of Tor2Web-nodes, bitmessage, OpenBazaar etc.
        - have understanding and (some) acceptance for normal people outside cryptocurrency scene, who are today doubting all cryptocurrencys and their benefits fully (they may be Monero users in 5 years later)
        - from my POV it's a waste of time to discuss with stubborn & self-opinionated people about Cryptocurrency, Bitcoin or Monero, let them talk and smile IHMO
        - stay open-minded and informed there are a lot of other new P2P-, Encryption-, OpSec-, Crypto-, Privacy-related projects (on the internet), that are worth checking out (there is trully a real world outside the cryptocurrency scene, heh)




        Sorry for bad english and structure and redundancy, because I  sadly have no time to readup everything that happens with Monero.

        Hi people! Prompt where it is possible to mining Monero in the cloud. Thanks! Smiley

        sorry, nowhere. Well, you can mine on amazon, google, microsoft, etc. but it will cost you an arm and a leg. Best way to obtain monero is to buy it. Best way to support monero is to mine on any hardware you can.

        Should people be accumulating 100 xmr worth of dust?  Probably not. 
         
        Should the software/network be able to accomodate it?  Absolutely.   
         
        We should be thankful to whoever pointed out this glitch.

        Hey, here's an idea Dumbass. TRY the FUCKING IRC DEV Channel!

        Please, don't give that guy that idea (with anyone else, sure though).


        LOL just -v if (i mean when) he trolls. It'll be Fun! Cheesy

        The 89 XMR is simply asshole tax you are being charged by the network.

        ROTFLMFAO!

        Seriously someone help him unload the rest so he's nowhere to be seen anymore.

        Primer, why don't you just donate that wallet for a bug fix. Tongue

        I understand, I only suppose when those today's 'tiny' amounts tomorrow when monero hit 400$ will be usable  Cool I got rid of dust and learned my lesson - collect monero in bigger chunks if possible, and round ones. The problem is that I also often collect small amounts. Not 89 xmr but still. Ah, and now simplewallet doesn't show unlocked dust at all, so it won't irritate people Smiley Most of users won't even know they got some dust anymore.

        For example Shapeshift is also sending dust. But I understand that. Next time will try to calculate deposit to receive rounded sum of monero in exchange.

        Sorry, I don't mean eliminate dust entirely, because that's impossible. My sentiment was directed towards people that have huge amounts of dust (like 89 XMR worth), from tons of tiny outputs. That didn't come from just withdrawing from an exchange. It's normal to have small amounts of dust and that can easily be resolved.
