I'm against changing the minimum block size, this is a perfect case for Monero adaptability and if theres demand it should go up by the algorithm. No need to change IMO.

While I would agree with you in principle, there are other things to consider.
Will follow up with discussion on the linked thread.

To the contrary Brother Smoothie! This is a very serious matter. At the recent Thursday service I was the only one to show up, and I've noticed that many of the other elder's Saturday door-to-door hours have been dropping. The governing body has gifted us with these high quality tracts; the least we can do is make the effort to go spread the truth to our neighbors!

Monero needs organic growth. That doesn't mean that we all have to go out and start evangelizing to hype Monero.

People will learn about it as time goes on. Nothing to worry about here.

Ask yourself how many potential users or businesses you have introduced to Monero today.

If the answer is 0 please log off bitcointalk and come back once your answer changes. YOU control the future of this currency. Do what needs to be done to advance adoption.

Okay and how are you contributing to adoption by lecturing others on this topic?

If I tried to talk up Monero, interested listeners would go where for an "easy" XMR wallet?

MyMonero is an easy wallet.

I know, web wallet, blah blah, but I've met a fair number of Bitcoin users in person and a huge portion, something more than half, used either blockchain.info or coinbase as their wallet.

I used to talk up bitcoin some - interested listeners could find exchanges, buy bitcoin, find stuff to buy, etc - all while being only about as smart as I am (wallet from blockchain, BTC from localbitcoins, fun at Poloniex, etc).

If I tried to talk up Monero, interested listeners would go where for an "easy" XMR wallet? (All my XMR are on Poloniex) Would acquire XMR how? (I get all my XMR at Poloniex). Would use XMR how? (I would have to transmit from my Poloniex account).

Does XMR take a bigger, nerdier, more intense, time consuming hardware/software commitment than BTC does for everyday use?

than keeping forum.getmonero.org alive

The forum is plenty alive. It isn't the highest traffic forum around but it does what it needs to do. Many people prefer to interact here or on IRC or reddit. Nothing wrong with any of those.

Yeah, get more active users on the IRC - it's WAY better, but needs more active chat.

I'm aware of a few good IRC channels relating to crypto. Any others? Feel free to pm me if you don't want them to get spammed from trolls.

Everyone is free to make their own decisions. Ignore me if you disagree.

I think there are plenty of warnings regarding the DASH instamine and other red flags in the alt coin section already. Some people make assumptions about coin popularity based on the length of their announcement thread (although this is often a bad assumption). Why not keep our criticisms about DASH in the alt coin section devoted to those topics and ignore their announcement thread? I estimate that their announcement thread is at least 1 or 2 thousand pages longer than it should be because of people posting about their instamine and other problems.

I actually have doubts that the DASH community is larger than Monero but the length of their announcement thread gives that impression. Our Reddit page for example is more active than theirs. Some of you may have noticed that r/dashpay recently decreased from 5000 readers to about 1100 (I suspect many of their fake readers were deleted). As much as the DASH community complains I think they actually like Monero supporters posting in the DASH announcement thread to make it longer. I propose we stop posting their and post in the topics already started to discuss specific topics (instamine, lack of masternode mode blinding, mining rewards, sporks etc.) instead.

Quote from: ?? on ??

Although unprofessional behaviour by other Crypto-Currency devs, thanks for funding the promotion of DASH... We would like to thank you for keeping us top of mind on this forum. As the saying goes... There is no bad publicity! Thanks...

Please share your thoughts.

My thoughts? It's shameful that so many Monero supporters spend more energy trying to discredit other coins (mostly dash) than keeping forum.getmonero.org alive or doing something useful for the coin.

In any case, you decide how you want to define your coin, cheers.

Breaking News:

Lead Moronero developer proves he has shit for brains

In a leaked IRC log lead developer of Monero Riccardo "fluffypony" Spagni exposed himself as completely ignorant to the principle of opensource.

The laughable exchange has been acquired by our undercover citizen journalist going by the name of ceti. Enjoy:

Quote

I still don´t get the spork thing :p
Do you perhaps know what it exactly is?
It atleast isn´t decentralized
basically he wraps new code into a little block
and then he can use Bitcoin's alerting system to enable / disable it
So if he turns malicious one day they are basically fucked?
yes
Or under a gag order or whatever
That´s kinda scary
he can leave some dormant code in there and then remotely enable it
and they're too retarded to even notice

"Too retarded", unfortunately however, are the ideas of "dormant code" and "malicious turning" developer in an opensource project, as anyone can view the code and verify its semantic integrity or -if needed- fork the codebase and continue development.

The amount of ignorance revealed here comes to no surprise among many keen market observers, as Monero technology itself is based on highly inefficient blockchain opaqueness unlike the blockchains of Bitcoin and DASH with their transparency similar to the principle of opensource software.

In our next issue we will shed light on the rumours and investigate the alleged connection of Riccardo "fluffypony" Spagni and a secret underground sect of homosexual "My Little Pony" fetishists.

Come back and troll harder when you learn how to spell, Cyrpto.

Another update:

What's gone in since then ?

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

Any update from core software development is good news. Thanks

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.
