Also, the official forum is forum.getmonero.org. Announcements and discussions are often posted there instead of here, though may also get cross posted here.

I've tried to use the official forums before and just found them unpleasant... it's hard to put my finger on it; maybe it has to do with the alignment or style of the text, or perhaps the old-school nested comment trees... not 100% sure. I'm sure someone at one point worked very hard to put them together, so I hope no one takes it personally, but I would almost rather Monero move over to a Simple Machines Forum standard itself.

This place catches a lot of shit, but with a few exceptions its actually very functional and pleasant to use.

I agree, not a big fan of that forum design.

You guys know that you can change that, just click on the little gear button at the top to go to settings (https://forum.getmonero.org/user/settings) and under "Forum View" just change "Sort posts by" to Latest or Oldest, per your preference. Then you'll never see a nested thread again:)

I happen to find this forum difficult to follow as well. It might be the lack of sane defaults, or at least intuitive defaults for those that are used to the classic-style forums such as this (i.e. everyone).

I believe sort by Oldest and expand all by default would be a nice start to welcome new users.

Agree with the bolded, with that as default setting it would be less difficult for newcomers to follow threads and the forum in general.

Meanwhile, according to statistics from coinmarketcap.com the Monero shows the decline in investor interest in the coin, although it applies to all altcoins....

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.

A continuation for all purpose programming of what needs to get done in Monero (by MoneroMooo)

https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/2410/a-continuation-for-all-purpose-programming-of-what-needs-to-get-done-in-monero?sort=date_desc

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?

https://forum.getmonero.org/7/open-tasks/2412/xmr-pool-infrastructure-overhaul

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.

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?
