If you are running a private or a public pool (node-cryptonote-pool or cryptonote-universal-pool) make sure you bind redis to 127.0.0.1 or if you have to bind to an external interface -
set an un-brutable password (by default no password is set and the listening port is binded to all interfaces).
A redis exploit is out that overwrites your authorization_keys file, script kiddie friendly!

Like the minimum hardware required to run a full node and the target performance of such configuration.
This is the example he gives for a Bitcoin node:

For example, a min spec might look something like this:
Target hardware resource cost: $200
Target worst case time to validate a block: 10 seconds
Minimum network I/O: 2 Mb/s
Minimum disk I/O: 2 Mb/s
Minimum CPU: 5,000 MIPS
Minimum RAM: 1 GB
Target hardware resource cost: $200
Target worst case time to validate a block: 10 seconds
Minimum network I/O: 2 Mb/s
Minimum disk I/O: 2 Mb/s
Minimum CPU: 5,000 MIPS
Minimum RAM: 1 GB
The definition of a "node" is different though. You can indeed run a non-mining Monero node on a Raspberry Pi 1B if you really want to. Total hardware cost: ~$30.00. There are even cheaper options available that are faster too, like the PINE A64 for $15.00. What exactly are you trying to specify?

What like? no more than 2 versions behind or something?

In this article Jameson Lopp makes the case that defining and adhering to a minimum spec for running a Bitcoin node would help decentralization and could help in the decision process when making changes to the protocol.
What do you guys think of defining such specs for a Monero node?

Nice! I will look forward to getting that up and running later this year. LMDB, Ring-CT, and plugin flexibility in a GUI. Maturing...

That didn't take long, what was it like 12 hours? Not bad for 14k XMR.

Do we know who owns changer.com? After Cryptsy (and maybe BTER based on this Reddit thread https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/43nivn/bter_holds_my_1800_xmr_since_20012016/), we need to be cautious when dealing with new exchanges.

This will ultimately have to come to the end user trusting the service and the plugin provider.
I trust (and verify) them about 100 XMR at a time.
This seems like the best approach in most cases. Risk only small amounts that you can afford to lose.

Can the plugin do https://www.changer.com/ also?
A wallet that handles seamlessly handles spending/converting/hodling BTC and XMR is a great idea, because they are complementary.
Ideally, it needs the i2p thingy too! And integrated MoneroDice gambling, of course! Perhaps even OpenBazaar?
We're headed in that direction. We'll get there.
At the rate good ideas get are getting funded, we'll have a Monero blimp over next year's SuperBowl.

^^ Option to allow plugins for XMR.to and ShapeShift.io, wow!!
So because it would allow shapeshift, does that mean the GUI would be able to hold Bitcoin too?
No it means you could enter a BTC address and pay using the XMR in your wallet via xmr.to or shapeshift. Potentially, I suppose a plug in to hold BTC is not out of the question but that is not the originally envisioned use case.
Oh ok, I just assumed shapeshift would be used as a way of buying monero through the GUI, since XMR.to does the conversion of XMR->BTC already.
I guess a simple "Buy Monero" plug in could provide instructions for buying Monero or maybe actually set up the trade with the shapeshift API (or another such service), having already filled in your XMR address for you. But actually sending the BTC or other form of payment would have to be done using a BTC, etc. wallet.

aiwe, great job on the graphics! Do you have links to where we can download high-quality versions of each (300-dpi jpg, or .psd)?
I will attach vector images on Trello
Just a suggestion - I think it will look better with the red and blue swapped.

The plugin concept is that one can add a plugin for a service such as shapeshift.io or changer.com that would allow one to spend XMR into any of the currencies offered by the service. That would mean not just XBT but other currencies including dare I say for example DASH. Supporting all the different currencies as full node in one wallet is an entirely different issue.
Edit: This functionality is potentially very powerful. It reminds me of what Microsoft did in the early 1990's with Windows 3.1.

Has anyone got a rough estimation how much H/s a PowerColor Radeon R9 390X2 Devil 13 dual GPU with 16 GB ram could possibly make stock / overclocked?
