"commit to disk" he means never save the seed in a text file, for example.

there are also ways to only save files in ram in linux, so they get erased upon shutdown.

I think you could improve safety here by booting from a Linux (Ubuntu) USB stick with the generator on it. @phishead, I could walk you through it if you want on IRC.

Maybe post is here afterwards?  I'm sure others would benefit greatly from such a tutorial if it does not exist!

Yeah I'll try to make a guide for it, it's long overdue as well.

Thanks

I guess the video I made... is too long?

Ginger,

I'm curious why for this video (which by the way you did an excellent job on  Smiley) you opted to use the javascript version (or at least it appears to be) instead of the core code for full nodes?

Was it a space issue? Or some other reason?

So I decided to email Kraken with the same request.  Please add Monero to your exchange.  I'll probably get the same form mail back in my inbox.  But let the pressure on them build.


This is what they sent me:

We're following Monero. I doubt it gets added any time soon, but I know we're watching for new ones to add all the time. Thanks for the message.

Best,

Maybe they're not adding it because they're too dumb/lazy to deal with Payment IDs.  If that's the case, maybe it's good for XMR that Kraken isn't part of the ecosystem.

I didn't get a response to my request, but last night got a long form letter pleading patience due to their exceedingly high workload, and reassurance that a response will be forthcoming...

Hueristic, I was merely suggesting an edit to the last sentence in your letter. Hope that is clear enough.
Cheers , Q

If not clear, to should be changed to too Smiley

Wow, not a form letter this time!

Well, we're approaching a sustained high level of 24 hour volume. Any coin that approaches the 1 million USD 24 hour volume mark will probably get the attention of a lot of exchanges.

Maybe they could replace one of the their coins that have 30K USD or less in volume

Monero (XMR) - secure, private, untraceable
If someone decide to port Monero to DOS 16/32/64 bit, and also like to translate it to Bulgarian ASCII Cyrillic, this code would work from win1251 to Cyrillic BDS and vice verse:
Code:
	FOR i=1 TO filelen
    currentChar=ASC(SUBSTR(fileStr,i,1))
        IF currentChar>127 .AND. currentChar<192
fileStr=SUBSTR(fileStr,1,i-1)+CHR(currentChar+64)+SUBSTR(fileStr,i+1,filelen-i)
ENDIF
IF currentChar>191 .AND. currentChar<256
fileStr=SUBSTR(fileStr,1,i-1)+CHR(currentChar-64)+SUBSTR(fileStr,i+1,filelen-i)
ENDIF
ENDFOR
*You could easily find standard ASCII Cyrillic tables, but not this one. This is what is used in all Bulgarian old DOS programs. I could port it to C if needed Smiley

The bots make it impossible to play both sides.

Very much not true.  I am more than happy to take XMR from the bots.  The more market makers, the fewer big swings.  You start by placing your ladder in anticipation of the swings.  When that ceases to be useful, because of competition, you adapt your order placement.  It does not take long until the strategy has paid for itself, and your risk of a net loss has gone to zero.  Meanwhile, by making the currency more attractive for transactional use, you have increased the value of your principal holdings.

What if Fincen shuts it down tomorrow?

A valid concern.  If you haven't done compliance and continue to refrain from compliance, you could loose on that.  For that reason, an off-shore exchange (with fiat) can't come soon enough.

Not really a speculation topic: I would like to encourage anyone with coins on an exchange to place smallish bid ladders on both sides of the book.  Liquidity is important for growth of the transactional market.  If you use small orders and only a small part of your supply, and update your orders frequently, the risks are small and gains are reasonably consistent.  Discussion of the speculative aspects should be referred to the speculation thread.  I'm just throwing this up as an encouragement to those who want to help the economy mature.

The bots make it impossible to play both sides. So you either lose XMR if the trend is peaked or get it when when it's in freefall. these are big swings that are going on and doing that is not advantageous as far as I can tell. And I'm not going to keep anything on any exchanges just to make some pocket change, the risk outweighs the potential profit. What if Fincen shuts it down tomorrow?



like i said i cant read code that well so im just shootin from the hip and my estimate wasnt intended as slight.

mobo/cpu - its embedded - really was just using it as a gpu operator. i have a low end amd board. the cpu does 11 h/s.  and the celeron uses less power i think

I doubt anyone took it that way, just n00bs reading this may think your statement meant the project is stalled, I.E. Freebazar so I just wanted that to be clarified. OK now I see why you chose that board, cost effective and low power. I would recommend on your next on to use the AMD or research a low power option for AES-NI. I'm sure you will get a better power/hash ratio.

Did exactly this yesterday.  I still have some outstanding orders.   Some of the higher bids were sold but most orders still outstanding.  Ranging from 2400 - 2675  Although I'm not a rich man I did my part to help out were I can.

Good effort. One thing: 'far too long;'
Cheers, Q

What would you suggest I cut out? And it's Hueristic, remember in grade school it's I before E except after C and U before E when referring to me. I ain't no algorithm. Tongue


What's the current GUI eta nowadays

well I can't read code that well, but based on the activity of the developer on the github , im guessing months.

To be fair, the commits he makes are usually pretty big (i.e. many lines of code added). See this last one for instance:

https://github.com/mbg033/bitmonero/compare/b486fb482d...ad96cd3f24

Or this one:

https://github.com/mbg033/monero-core/compare/921d16a458...7d9306ca1a

Furthermore, once his other project finishes he is able to spend twice as much time per week on it.



@r0ach:

There is someone actively working on the GUI, see:

https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2476/the-official-qt-gui-project

His work and the activity can be followed on:

https://github.com/mbg033?tab=activity

https://github.com/mbg033/monero-core

https://github.com/mbg033/bitmonero

As it should be, All this bullshit "look we had 5 million pull requests" as if that equates progress is retarded.
Quantity does not equal Quality.
Period.

Wow, looks like fluffy already claimed it.   Grin  
  
I know me and g discussed this previously, but he said it would take months of work to build!  Not a few weeks.... guess he got inspired.  Anyway, I may 'commission' one of these myself soon - I'm a little jealous that Ric got the first.  If you know someone semi-tech savvy, who is interested in Monero, this is the best way for them to acquire some (assuming you don't feel comfortable recommending they buy off an exchange)- its a win-win-win for everyone.

This *did* take months to build Smiley what you and I discussed was a much more powerful mining box. The monerodo is very low hash power (this base model maxes out at 280 h/s). What we were talking about was mining rigs!!!, on the order of kh/s.

I don't quite understand why you chose that CPU? Very nice build by the way. Smiley
