i have this idea for long time with monero. its not so important now, but no one can really predict how monero will perform under load. so better we find out.
does anybody know how they do it in bitcoin? do they even have this kind of setup?

would love to help build this up synthetically, maybe so that it can be repeatet without burning too much money all the time. sure we would need help from devs for this, a special fork with premine that we flush again would maybe be best? or are there other ways to do it?

how many nodes? how strong would they need to be with what kind of connection?

all bullshit? good idea? please tell

totally doable. Monero has a testnet. It would just require getting a bunch of testnet coins, which are really easy to get. I have 10s of thousands! Fluffy's a testnet millionaire.

So you'd just get a bunch of vps all over the world, load up testnet daemons, make scripts to mimic real world activity, and then watch the adaptive blocksize grow.

in essense, we already watched monero perform under load with the block 2610212098473097403232 whatever the hell it is attack. And good for it, because that attack broke monero, and then it was fixed, so yeah. This kind of stuff is useful!

Hah, at 31:60 they talk about privacy.

MONERO!!!! I JUST WANT TO SHOUT MONERO!

We are raising donations for this campaign. There are already 351$ and 0.0403 BTC in donations for Bojia:
"The 80 years old mother Bojia Bikova was accused of growing hemp by the Bulgarian police, who found a few uprooted sprigs of hemp in her field in the countryside. She was sentenced to pay about $1100 including court taxes. The monthly pension of old mother Bojia is $100. The amount she has to pay is close to the full amount of her pension for the whole year."
You could watch a short video about her case here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqmGkti9uUQ.
I created an XMR address for this campaign. Please support it. If in doubt about the validity of the address, I could ask our admin to add an OpenAlias XMR address to promena.org:

This may be the first non-governmental organization accepting Monero donations for its campaigns. We added OpenAlias xmr address to promena.org. It seems that the domain registrar is not adding TXT DNS records correctly with their GUI. They are adding "invisible spaces" like the space in the Monero address in bitcointalk (you could see the spaces here - type promena.org and select TXT record: http://manytools.org/network/query-dns-records-online). The result is that you can't add a valid OpenAlias address (or any valid long words TXT record). How many domain registrars are out there which are doing the same?

The domain registrar fixed their bug and the OpenAlias address promena.org is now working for the "Bojia" campaign. My contribution is 20 XMR. I'll make sure the total sum of Monero donations is cited at the end of the campaign and I'm pretty sure a successful campaign will catch some media attention (Bulgarian media are already following the "Bojia" case).

New git updates since last time:

- blockchain_export can now create files compatible with NoodleDoodle's fast sync code
- speedup for the one-time database rescan to initialize hard fork into
- database dump utility, intended to detect differences between the several blockchain formats
- a new status command in the daemon, giving more user oriented information
- and random other fixes for DB potential issues, some RPC commands not working properly

Git updates since last time:

- simplewallet can be set to use a different default mixin than 4 (eg, set default-mixin Cool

- more hardfork voting changes: first hard fork will not be voted on, due to complicated issues with alt chains
- block time change from 1 minute to 2 minutes (to take effect at the next fork)
- new show_transfers simplewallet command, to show in/out transactions in a more user friendly way
- more daemon commands now work again on the development branch, using 0MQ

I would love to get a quote from him about his views on Monero and CryptoNote.

The only catch is that his name carries a lot of weight (and possibly a lot of unwanted attention at this stage) and so it might be best that he admires "from afar" for now.

This is similar to the fact that you can bet your sweet ass that people like the head of JP Morgan and Bank of America own a personal store of Bitcoins though they would never be caught dead admitting it.

It is clear that many people are observing Monero development with interest. In addition to the creator(s) of CryptoNote, much credit is owed to the Monero development team for overhauling the codebase to make it more efficient and easier to understand. Monero Research Labs deserves a lot of credit for vetting our ideas for future improvements in both privacy and usability.

As Monero evolves I expect more and more brilliant minds will take notice and become visibly involved. We are still at a very early stage.

Seriously?

Am I the only one who just assumed he was already active in the community under a pseudonym? Of course someone like Szabo either a.) helped create Cryptonote/Monero or b.) learned about it pretty quickly after launch and got interested in it. Again, this isn't Nyancoin here - this is the most legitimate project since the original Bitcoin.

Good news for people like me is that though quiet brilliance like Szabo and Turing moves and alters entire civilizations, it doesn't necessarily sell on stage. Wink

So as long as there are flesh monkeys to persuade, loud and motivational arrogance like me still has a role to play in this game.

Cherry on top: that tweet was Liked by @NickSzabo4. Cool

I did not notice that he liked my Tweet (Peter Todd quote regarding bitcoin, shapeshift and monero) until just now. It somewhat surprised me since he does not yet follow me on Twitter. I would love to get a quote from him about his views on Monero and CryptoNote. I messaged Peter Todd in advance of the Tweet to ask for permission to use it. Similarly I wont do much to publicize the "like" from Szabo unless he says something more.

I'm not sure what you mean by 100% core devs payout fee. Donations maybe?

As far as I know no core team member has been directly involved with any pool.

I don't know what happened to monero.net.

I confirm this. Look at their site - monero.net is NOT appear like a monero pool even! But it WAS.

Not sure if this was ever linked in this thread but here is a full paper on Daniel J Burnstein's Curve25519 in depth http://cr.yp.to/ecdh/curve25519-20060209.pdf

I really love this stuff. BUT, am not there yet. I pretty much need to keep my mind busy all the time or else damage ensues. Have some understanding of cryptography, or more like cryptographic algorithms, but does anyone have any resources that might slow down the math behind cryptographic algorithms at a pace I can step through. I dont mind looking up and learning some math along the way, or perhaps a lot of math. But understanding the effects of a cryptographic algorithm, and undestanding how it does what it does are two very different levels of understanding, and I would very much appreciate if someone could point me in a direction that would bridge that gap a bit.

Go right ahead then. Most of the hash rate is not on identified pools, at least according to the minexmr chart. Maybe there is a better chart, I don't really know.

https://monerohash.com/#network

minexmr currently shows only 2 pools + small + unknown at 61%
while monerohash shows 8 pools + small + unknown at 34%

Thanks for the pointer, I wasn't aware of the monerohash chart. It indeed shows more pools, but still right now (the numbers vary over time) shows 48.4% unknown.

Not exactly - I would route botnet hash through a proxy... otherwise I would DDoS the pool off the net by accident. Regardless, a pool isn't going to shut down income.

Route through a proxy ? Easy, once AVs detect it, its trivial to shut down.
There are ways other than IP addresses to detect a botnet, maybe thousands of miners all hashing at a different speed ?

*sigh*

If I run it through a proxy, it looks like one machine with varying hashrate, first of all. I meant similar to a Stratum proxy.
Secondly, not that trivial, as I would crypt the binary - AVs detect it, a new crypt often solves the issue. If they try to do it by connection, I can use a randomly selected proxy from multiple ones.

You sound like you are on drugs AGAIN. We can continue discussion when it wears off...

You sound like you just ran out of intelligent arguments! Wink

If you tunnel a botnet through a proxy it's still easy to tell a botnet is behind it - thousands of miners mining at different speeds.
Crypting the miner and updating the binary on XX,XXX servers is harder than you think. You'd also need to crypt the downloader that is used for updating.
Randomly selecting proxies is not going to work, you'd need 100% stable proxies, private, not public. One costs around $3. You'd need thousands to hide the botnet...

My point is, pool owners can stop the botnets easy, make them use their private pools which we can then shut down with the help of AV and law enforcement...
