No response, but that's ok.  Things that are supposed to happen tend to happen.

Yes Icey-pooh I know you said this long ago. I just wanted to say it again.

 

Edit: I was around in June 2014. So i'm not as late as you might think.

 

Ok, well I'll be sure to try and contact them... Is there a video that is currently out about monero that would need to be translated though?  I'm sure they would need help in how to do voice overs too.

I think the time has come already. We need marketing to grow our user base. More users can help fund more donations towards development.

Hey AP, saw you posted on the thread and am curious if he ever did respond to you... is there anything we can do to get him on board? Funding? Anything?

I am in favor of this post, but if the traffic were to get heavy (a good thing) we should have a separate XMR Marketplace thread, or sth.  Maybe it already exists?

(PM'd Zoran).

Well, when the time comes... Two of my buddies could possibly go about translating stuff.  One of them speaks Mandarin and the other Japanese.  I still have yet to have seen them for some time now... but I'm sure if I were to meet up with them for a couple of beers and talk to them a bit, they would be interested.  Though, they are currently living in the countries where those languages apply.

it could. I'm guessing that kind of material cost thousands of dollars to make. But first step to making such a thing would be a script.

Can Monero do something like this?

Many people still cannot be reached by our current materials because of language barriers.

Bitcoin is simply BitGold + HashCash + Reusable Proof of Work.  It's "mining" function was designed to be analogous to gold mining.

Stonehenge's purpose is to maintain a time rift, where the same actions are played out (with minor variations), over and over again, with the end result being that the power of the circle will eventually be released to the outside world. Whenever this is faulted, however, the time circle resets and the same events attempt again to unfold. However, since time is passing in the outside world in a normal way, that within the time circle must also progress matching the time period of the real world while still attempting to play out the events within.

The original stone circle was built during megalithic Great Britain and inhabited by a pagan folk led by a Druid priest. The village priest then witnessed the formation of a supernova and somehow deduced that a black hole had formed shortly thereafter. Using a variety of psychic powers, mixed with folk magic, the priest was able to harness the power of the stones (which were natural magnets) and focus negative energy, via a beam of light, through the centre of the circle towards the black hole.

Monero plays the role of platinum to Bitcoin's gold because while (immutable/serene) BTC/Au mostly just sits in vaults, XMR/Pt have far more industrial uses (thanks to higher reactivity, they are superior catalysts).

XMR is also significantly more rare than BTC, with 18 vs 21 million total coin emission.

I disagree.  
  
Bitcoin was never gold.  Bitcoin's closest analogue was Stonehenge.  It was a decentralized public resource, constructed at great cost, and used to transact debts.  Once a "cycle" everyone of import met and came to a consensus on who owned what, but as a consequence of this there could be no private transactions.  All transactions of who owned what "sacred stone" had to be declared and acknowledged by all other members of those who were transacting.  BTW, the concept that Stonehenge's purpose was to serve as a financial ledger is attributed to Reddit user /u/DonaldMcIntyre.  
  
In actuality, Monero is the first digital gold, not Bitcoin.  
  
I have posted this picture before, but it bears repeating that Bitcoin fulfilled all the requirements of being the first digital collectible (which was monumental - not to take anything away from it), but it was not the next true evolution of money.  That may be a bold statement, but it's true.  Cryptonote, and Monero by extension, is the next big evolution of money - and as a result will (imho) overtake bitcoin by value in time.  
  

Duh.  Welcome to one year ago!

Way to arrive at the party fashionably late.   

I've already listened to the whole thing, and he does hint at some new alt coins having the potential to posses better qualities which make it value... but if I heard everything correctly (went to the bathroom for a minute and came back) he didn't mention monero specifically... but he does talk about things like dash, ethereum, ripple, and other things of that nature.

 
 
Shit. 
 
I'm listening to his podcast now.  He's obviously extraordinarily intelligent and well-spoken.  As someone who has worked on Bitshares and Ethereum, recruiting him into the Monero fold would be a massive win (both for him and the technology).  One issue would be convincing him to fold his individual efforts into our own, and I wouldn't be surprised if he has some hesitance to that idea; he may have a well-earned ego as a pioneer of some truly visionary crypto-projects.  To join Monero might not seem as glamorous as launching his own new currency, but it is the correct path forward.  After all, we don't all get to own our own internets - we need to agree on one protocol and build on top of it (see AOL vs. CompuServe vs. "just the internet").  The other challenge might be to correct any existing misconceptions he may have about Monero as "just another altcoin like Dash". 
 
Let me finish the podcast and formulate my thoughts.  I'm certain that he's heard of Monero already; I'm wondering what his current thoughts are on it.
 

What about this guy AP?  Seems like Charles is looking for a new home after Etherum kicked his ass, why not invite him in our comfy home?

True for any particular point on the chain. That is generally growing though.

And is limited to the amount of outputs that already exist to mix with?

So is Monero the Platinum to Bitcoin's gold? 

There is no maximum (unless there is a bug, so as you say it is useful to test). It is limited only by physical size of the data.

I think the point is that a stress test (or blockchain parse to check for available mixins) is useful technical information. People should know what the maximum possible mixin is so they don't accidentally exceed it.
