Nice to see XMR price rising. Is it because of the BTC news?
Is there also an 1 click install wallet for mac? thanks!

I heard there a some issues with BTC development what causes price rices for coins like XMR, ETH, FCT.
Is there also a wallet you can install, and open it with 1 click?
I'm not a mac user, so I don't know what is involved for jwinterm's wallet. In general, Monero is the most user-unfriendly cryptocurrency, because a majority of the effort is spent on the fundamentals of the coin - making the code better. But honestly it doesn't take that long to learn to use the software. The thing that takes the longest is syncing up with the network, as any of the "light clients" that exist are really just connecting to someone elses node, so you are sacrificing some privacy for the convenience of .... well I don't really know what.
edited to add, the core GUI is coming, jwinterms works fine, and mymonero is a useful way to use monero as of now.
Well it would be nice if the team or somebody else can develop an user friendly 1 click wallet right? Would also gain more people and attention...
There is also a simple web wallet I see, is it safe option as well?
It isn't quite one click atm, you have to put it in a folder with your own simplewallet binary, so at least several clicks.

Thanks for keeping us up-to-date!
Indeed maybe not a dev-meeting decision, but I do as well hope we get rid of the term 'mixin' in version 1.0:
It sounds shady, is associated with 'mixing' but it isn't, and the term 'mixin' does not cover what is actually stands for: number of ring signatures. So thanks for bringing up the reminder and lets decide on an alternative word (at least 'ring size' is understandable for me as a not so technical user, but of course open for better suggestions).
Fully agree, there is a thread for discussion here:

Has there been discussion on adding "fungible" as a fourth pillar of Monero (secure, private, untraceable, fungible)? True fungibility is a valuable property of Monero that BTC lacks. For those of us who have been with Monero for a long time, this is not news to you, but Monero is attracting more attention and I think it would benefit from showcasing its fungibility property and why it's so important/valuable (no coins can be blacklisted, blocked, etc.).
I think it's a key property that many don't know about, and they don't know about it because it's not showcased like the other properties/pillars. I think it would only benefit XMR to showcase this property. Has this topic been discussed?

Since Monero is fungible (nice!) it can't have colored coins, correct? One XMR = one XMR.
Lets say as a business I would like to make a 10 million USD (Monero market cap), international, private and instant transaction with another company. Monero would be perfect for this. But since Monero is fungible, I can't just color a coin and say it represents our 10 million USD transaction.
How can such a thing currently be solved without moving the price too much?
Use Payment ID ? This will allow you to confirm that the money were sent.

Monero is one of the few old coins I still have in my crypto portfolio. Keep it up guys.

Not in the same way as Bitcoin. We are looking at how best to approach assets as a research goal.Thanks for your reply and lead. Coincidentally I just listened to fluffypony talking about Monero Assets (storing metadata in the 'TX_EXTRA' field, Bitcoin's OP_RETURN) during the 'Bitcoinference Monero Talk' (uploaded 2015.06.10). I can by the way recommend to watch the whole video, very informative.

My blockchain got corrupted when the electricity stopped. I resynced from scratch and it took about 24 hours. Previously I resynced from scratch a few times on the same machine on the same USB3 external hdd and on the same internet connection for 1-3 hours (it was on bitmonerod 0.9.0 tagged and before tagged, not 0.9.1). What could be the issue with the slow sync this time?
I'm not sure I'm understanding. Are you using the same version as before?
What CPU do you have?
Thank you for clarifying. We are looking into it.
Thank you for the follow up. We're going to take a look at whether there is a better default for the parameter, although higher numbers increase memory usage, so it may not be best for everyone to increase it.
And yes, there's a practical threshold above which there's no longer any performance difference, because when the cache flush hits, there's enough unwritten data in cache to keep the storage device 100% busy until the sync/flush finishes. (It's also possible that your system's default settings have automatically started flushing the cache before your specified interval hits.)

This use case does not really work. Let's say you could send a colored coin that was "worth" 10 million USD. What is the recipient supposed to do with with this colored coin? They can't spend it, at least not unless they can find someone who also trusts you to owe them 10 million USD. It represents an IOU, but in order for the recipient to actually get their money you would need to send a wire transfer or something, so why not just do that in the first place. Or if you really want an IOU, you can send a digitally signed email (and store a hash of it in a blockchain if you think that is useful).
This is what I have been saying for a while. Since Bitcoin cannot be fungible at a protocol level, they should go the other way and try to deliberately be the most non-fungible coin possible. Or, perhaps that could be handled by another blockchain entirely.... as in, colored coins by default. Perhaps you could even store a small piece of data with each coin, the access to which is controlled by owning that token.

Increase the market cap and liquidity so that 10 million USD can easily be accommodated.

Found this on 4chan. Might make a good signature!

Monero is only trying to be one thing: true digital cash, with all the privacy and fungibility that comes with that. It isn't just trying - it is wildly succeeding.
I can send $100,000 worth of Monero across the world instantly and nearly for free... but so could Bitcoin. But with Monero I can do it and no one can trace the transaction or see that I did it.
It is the holy grail of digital money.
