Not sure what this is or even if XMR qualifies.

Methinks an XMR BDC would qualify.  I would go for it, but I'm not Euro.  Also, busy.

I'm working on a cross-platform Monero GUI, codenamed Mono (esperanto for "Money"). It's essentially a Node.js app built with the Electron platform: http://electron.atom.io/

Nice Cheesy

You should look at the Sia wallet, which also uses Electron. You could build on that if you didn't already make significant progress:
https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-UI

Also, will you be making your code open source? If you do, I'll be happy to contribute or sponsor.

Let us know how it goes!!

Very helpful. Thanks

Why did you choose Electron? Any idea why more mature NW.JS is not an option?

This is my first time using either on a project. After doing some research and trying both out, I couldn't really decide which one was "better". Ultimately I went with Electron because I liked their documentation a bit more. I think either of them would be suitable for the job.

Aiwe, I like that!

Here's the monero branding pack if anyone wants .ai files: https://downloads.getmonero.org/resources/branding.zip

I had an idea of a logo that incorporates the well-known Monero "M" design with the "Electron" atoms imposed on top, if anyone has the skills to make that look good I would love to incorporate it as an icon.

Sounds like a great project. . . thanks for doing this!

I love the cross platform aspect. Thank you

Development is still in the very early stages, so there is plenty of time if you are interested. Thanks!

After this attack (14 months ago) the Monero core devs refocused their efforts to strengthening the Monero protocol. Now we are close to reaping the full benefits of this in the 0.9 release, and anyone can compile the source now and see how much better it is.

Bitcoin also endured many attacks in its infancy, far worse than this one, it serves to make the network stronger. If you don't like it, that's fine. This is not something to invest in, it's an experiment. I find it to be a fun open source project with a great community that I like participating in and contributing my skills.


You all may turn me to the dark side (monero side?) after all  Smiley  Really, we need more than one secure, private coin, right?  We need a pepsi for the coke.  Think of me like that mean ol school marm, I just want you to succeed and grow like a purty flower Wink

In addition, nearly all of the codebase has been rewritten, cleaned-up and documented. Monero is really moving away from the original Bytecoin code which it forked from.

many people lost coins due to a security vulnerability already.  

Read about it here: https://forum.cryptonote.org/viewtopic.php?p=909

edit to add: i remember when this attack happened, nobody lost any coins. so while there was an attack, this statement is untrue.

one more thing: are you familiar with these research papers? https://lab.getmonero.org/

Actually his link even though not supporting his trollish lies does show how well the community and Devs responded. Smiley

It appears the articles states

"Fortunately, the large majority of the Monero network had remained on the chain A, which helped to avoid larger negative consequences for the currency."


That proves that at least there were some negative consequences, and they could have been larger.

The scope of this attack clearly makes it an organized effort. While it is possible that some lone guy is figuring out the flaw and how to take advantage of it, the fact we are needing more than one skillset and resources more indicates a team is involved.

Theoretically if you guys didnt notice the strange stuff on the blockchain and polo went on a fork, could they have just made many small withdraws over a week and drained the polo acct? The timeframe and resources required for this doesnt seem like some statment attack to cause a fork and go "ha ha", but where financial gain is involved.

If so, the list if suspects as being involved in this would be polo accts that were involved in accumulating recently (which I remember seeing talked about) and probably these were also trying to do the double spend while on the fork.

So, maybe the attack was against polo?

Nope - bear in mind that basically without any action from us the "bad" fork died after 35 minutes. It still exists, it's just stuck at block 202647 and won't proceed. This would have happened even if we hadn't noticed it, so there's little they could have done to have any long-lived attack.

So no coins were mined in this 35 minutes on the "bad" fork?  Really?
