I have been asked to help distribute the survey linked below. Your thoughtful completion of the survey will provide useful information for the founder of https://onenear.com/ as we works to build an economy featuring Monero.  Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts.

Monero Marketplace Market Research
OneNear are planning to fork their site and create another brand and site, exclusively for buying and selling products and services with XMR / BTC.  We aim to launch early next year and will be driven by the Monero community.

The full proposal and discussion is here: https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/2422/proposal-to-build-marketplace-for-monero

Survey link:

PLEASE SHARE!!

The more people who complete the survey they better, so please encourage people to participate. I shared the link on Twitter and Reddit as well.

Thanks in advance.

I think there is an issue with the built in windows unzipper utility for files over 4 GB or so. I had an issue with downloading/unzipping a bootstrap for huntercoin, and it was due to trying to use windows unzipper. If the file is bigger than 4 GB, try using 7zip or something else to extract.
Are you using 0.9 beta build? There is no blockchain for it to download. You should sync from scratch (~3.5 hours for me).

Hmm...
I think its in RAM the problem. Its on 100% of usage when wants to read/loading blockchain(reaching in some time) and then when starts to update I get that error for "height", file is 4.2GB.
My RAM size is 3x2GB.
No, I've 886.

Thanks!


If you are on 0.8.8.6 you probably have insufficient RAM, the current binaries are quite old and slow. Basically everyone is waiting for the new binaries, which only use around 100 MB of RAM after syncing. Which OS are you on? And are you able to compile yourself?

The new binaries will allow many people to use Monero who did not have enough RAM for 0.8.8.6

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

yeah, and isn't there an open source freely available miner proxy, which for all in tents and porpoises (there yah go luigi), was probably specifically made for bonnets?

That sentence was full of english wonder / inside jokes.

And your monero dash equivalence re: distribution might be valid if all botnets were operated by monero core team developers, and you'd think if that were the case they would have developed a GUI to make monero moon ASAP (and subsequently die because, yah know, the original bytecoin code needed much love, according to me, who has a proof of developer certificate (thats a bold faced lie (these are nested parentheses))), unless of course they did that on purpose because they're in for the long con, and they just dump hours and real money into the con to create better code and a cryptocurrency infrastructure (DNS checkpoints, etc) so all in all, I still give botnets a 4 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being harmful and 10 being useful.

anyhoo. How's the test fork in testnet? Hope its going well!!!

The dude's blaming the pool for the malware. It's not mining for the pool, most likely, it's mining to someone's address...
Someone finally gets it. Why would anyone imagine it's the pool's fault (without other supporting evidence at least)?

You're both playing dumb. Pools can easely detect and block addresses being mined by botnets.
FYI, a huge botnet went live today, over 3MH/s, XMR distribution is  no better than premined DASH...




If you say so. Why, a guy like you posting cold hard facts with nothing else than that behemoth credibility to back it up, is commendable. Even your trading trust glimmers like gold.

What a hero.

That's a completely orthogonal issue.

It's probably relatively easy for the botnet owner to get around such countermeasures anyway.

Edit: the distribution is what you make of it. Do you really think those botnets keep all the coins? We're then back to the market being responsible for distribution (or lack thereof).

4 more pull requests merged today.  I can taste it Cool

In addition:


If I recall correctly, fluffypony stated a while ago that they were waiting for i2p to have a stable release before it would be integrated into Monero.

That, and 0.9 is well past a feature freeze state. It is being prepared for release.

hey Guys, PLEASE ATTENTION !!!!!


DON´T MINE IN MONEROCRYPT.COM !!!!!!!!!

THIS POOL USE MORE GAMING SOFTWARE IN TORRENT SERVER LIKE "DIRT RALLY" FOR INSTALL YOUR BACKDOOR SOFTWARE!!!!
HE IS A LAMER POOL!!!!!!!!

ATTENTION!!!!!!!!


 Angry Angry Angry

Do you have the binary they use to spread the miner ? I'd love to take a look at it...

no. but download from torrent dirt rally iso  almost 16 Gb...it's very lamerz this pool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 

Which address is associated with the hidden miner ?

http://monerocrypt.com
http://pool.monerocrypt.com


If this is true the warning should be better advertised on IRC, getmonero.org etc.

I dunno guys. the only things linked on that pool are zone117x's easyminer binary from github. From what I gather, zone117x worked on the pool software itself, so I'm going to go out on a limb and say that his easy miner package is relatively trustworthy. That and we haven't heard about it until now?

The new binaries will really help with adoption. Some merchants would prefer not to use releases still in beta testing.

I haven't really heard any more news about the release of the new binaries coming out... Mind you, I haven't had time to frequent this board very much due to work getting insanely rediculous.  It's still projected to be Summer 2016 correct?

No, I expect well before that. There are already some beta binaries and there are tests going on this week to try to finalize a release candidate.


Wow, that's extremely exciting! So, one could say that the release may end up hitting the shelves possibly by the end of 2015 in that case?

Yes basically. That is if nothing odd happens during the test hardfork though.

Who is invited to participate in the test hardfork?

I think everyone is able to participate. However, I am not entirely sure, so you should check with the devs at #monero or #monero-dev
