That being said I have a question about this. "but monero was also valued about a quarter higher in fiat terms" I thought the price was steady v/s fiat. It's BTC that has been bubbled.
https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/2412/xmr-pool-infrastructure-overhaul

Price was pretty stable at 0.002 BTC/XMR for months, when BTC ranged between $220-$300. So, $0.45-$0.6 roughly. Now we are at the bottom of that range, which is roughly one quarter. I know if I were to exchange all the XMR I bought this summer for BTC now, the fiat value would be much less.

That was not the question. There are direct fiat/xmr markets.

I did some digging on coincap.io (they display the fiat price of XMR over time). Around the time MoneroMooo made his first proposal (somewhere in the 2nd week of July if I recall correctly), XMR was on average worth ~0.52$-0.55$. Currently it's ~0.39$-0.42$. Thus, the increase in XMR is perfectly justifiable in my opinion. Next to that, he is doing an awesome job, so even if the fiat price didn't decline his increase was justifiable.

THIS was edited out of my post "Not that that matters as 40 XMR for a competent developer is a good deal. " Am I being played? Don't edit my quotes  Saddam if you are going to leave qualifier statements out.

I'm impressed with MMoo's work and really like to see him continue. That being said I have a question about this. "but monero was also valued about a quarter higher in fiat terms" I thought the price was steady v/s fiat. It's BTC that has been bubbled. Not that that matters as 40 XMR for a competent developer is a good deal. But I thought I'd ask about this.

BTW I would like to see Mmooo to help community members like Smoothie that are working without compensation.




How imminent is this?

From IRC:

If we were to continue using minor for hard fork voting, we'd get down to 64 years. But that'd require us to actively want to break it, which sounds unlikely. <= This is about W0lf`s remark right?
regarding the pool structure, mining code etc.
dEBRUYNE__: about the block size growth, yeah
Wolf`: I see, so the code would break after 64 years?
Or am I missing something :-P
64 years is coming sooner than you think. may as well fix it now
dEBRUYNE__: yeah, I didn't know when the timestamp would grow, I said
just that it'd get bigger
guess it's not THAT much of an issue
but the rest of the problems remain

Thx man. Smiley  Wolf should put that info into his post.

In addition:

dEBRUYNE__: timestamp bump is in 1044 years. 64 years is the minor version, if we bump it once every 6 months (but we don't have to, and in fact, there was a proposal to change the vote to be per feature, and we'd base on the major version for that, so that 64 years limit would be moot way before hitting).
Though that moves tha to the major version, assuming that format stays constant for that much time.

For those folks building from source on Mac OS X, it looks like you now need to install berkeley-db to make it work (seemed to start happening a week or two ago). Here is what I install from Brew now, and it compiled after pulling today:

Code:
brew install git boost cmake libevent miniupnpc pkg-config berkeley-db

This should now be fixed. If it still breaks, please include the errors (not just the last generic make error).

Edit: actually, it's not merged to master yet, will be soon hopefully.


It's now merged.

Some shit I hope you read, cause it took me a while to type: https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/2412/xmr-pool-infrastructure-overhaul
 
  
This sounds like a very serious issue, and definitely something we need to address.

hmm sounds idd serious.

I wonder if this has to do with the large dump that occurred this week.
If so, could mean that other large holders could follow his example, escpecially when BTC decides rise again.

Might want to hold some BTC aside just incase, we could see a nice entry price here, afterall isn't that what we are all looking for, cheap coins? Smiley

Hey guys, so I think I've asked this once before but still kind of confused on what to do... if I have an old windows that might be a 32-bit computer (still having trouble figuring that out; newb problem, I know) and wanting to run a full node to support the network... would it be beneficial just to wait for the .9 windows release coming up soon? Also, would it be easier to instal Linux to do this stuff?  Or, if I do have a 32-bit computer, is it just basically pointless to run these things at all? 

I believe it won't work on 32-bit.

0.9 does work on 32 bit (or at least it should).


Just for shits and giggles... let's find out if it builds on ARM!

It does, and even has some optimized ARM asm code. People run nodes on RPi2

Not stock from git - someone put -maes in the flags without checking CPU arch. Modifying...

There is a make target for it.

make release-arm7

or

make release-arm6



Happily compiled and crashed with illegal instruction.

Must be a different arm variant. I think those targets are for rpi/rpi2. The -marm option might need adjusting.

What is an ARM code? Is this something I can copy and paste on a terminal on windows and run?

ARM is a different type of CPU than Intel or AMD, often used in low power devices, cell phones, tablets, etc.
