Good Work!

Own a piece of history !!!!
The very first monerodo (and possible the only one of its design)

You can either respond here or on the forum.

i decided to get creative today and made a 'monero accepted here' image

i tried trello but have still no clue how that works

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

What's the current GUI eta nowadays

Experimental Trezor Firmware Testing - Firmware Updated (V0311)

Please, if possible, help with testing!

Any chance of fixing the getmonero.org forum to become more usable? I'm talking about adding pagination in the forum threads. The current "infinite scroll" mode, in addition with the scrolling speed override (why?) makes it really difficult to use it for me (and I'm guessing for others as well).

Edit: I'd swear that I encountered some weird scrolling issues on some pages, but now I don't after a couple of refreshes. Maybe I'm wrong about the scrolling override, perhaps something was wrong with my Firefox.

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.

I'd suggest linking them all of our whitepapers listed here:

https://lab.getmonero.org/

In addition, the cryptonote whitepaper + the review by MRL:

https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

https://downloads.getmonero.org/whitepaper_review.pdf

Finally, you could send them this list:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/46gfgv/list_of_prominent_bitcoin_people_that_spoke/

That shows that at least some of the people on the list have looked at the code and/or whitepaper.

PS. It seems like you got a different reply than the standard one reported by other community members here.

It has come to my attention that the reasoning behind not providing a Monero pairing (ticker - XMR) is that you feel the code would have to be vetted which will take resources you do not currently possess. I would suggest that this is indeed not needed in this case. I premise this view by presenting you with the formal actors whose credentials I think we can agree on are beyond reproach.

The Monero Research Lab

The Core Team forms an integral part of the Monero Research Lab, but the researchers, scientists, and academics that are primarily focused on Monero research are listed below. They have chosen to remain pseudonymous for the moment. They are:

    Surae Noether: Lead researcher for the Monero Research Lab, Surae holds a PhD in Mathematical Sciences and brings a rich understanding of cryptography and homological algebra to the mix.

    Shen Noether: A graduate student focused on algebraic geometry, it is Shen's command and knowledge of cryptography that lends itself so well to his involvement in the Monero Research Lab. Shen is also responsible for finding and showing proof of concept that SDC (Shadowcoin) is indeed not anonymous. He did this by pointing out what was wrong with their logic and when they were unable to understand his results and accused him of lies he revealed the SDC entire blockchain.

Sarang Noether: Having completed his Masters in Mathematical Sciences, Sarang is currently completing his doctoral degree in Physics, while devoting time on the side to the advancement of Monero research.

Supporting arguments can all be found in these links including Prominent members of BTC's Developers.

https://lab.getmonero.org/

In addition, the cryptonote whitepaper + the review by MRL:

https://cryptonote.org/whitepaper.pdf

https://downloads.getmonero.org/whitepaper_review.pdf

And this is not even touching on the programming team whom I am sure you will also find beyond competent. The list is far too long you can easily find it on github.

Hi,

Thank you for asking about Monero. Currently, we don't list this coin.

But we invite you to follow our developments, like listing new coins or adding payment partners, on Facebook and Twitter:

Have a great day!

I sent an email to Kraken asking them to add Monero.  This was the response:

Thanks for asking about Monero. We don't have any plans to add any other digital currencies at the present time. We're open to adding more currencies in the future, but every currency we add first has to go through a lengthy process of evaluation. For example, in the case of Namecoin, we found a serious bug in the protocol during our evaluation process:
http://www.coindesk.com/namecoin-flaw-patch-needed/

The bug was of course fixed before we allowed trading in Namecoin on our exchange. This evaluation process takes valuable time away from other important development projects, and at the present time we can't spare the resources needed to add a new currency.

From the tone of this response, it's going to take dozens or maybe hundreds of people contacting Kraken to make a difference.
