it appears that the bitcoin.com forum has now a monero board too: https://forum.bitcoin.com/monero-f66/

just in case someone feels like moving some duplicate content over there Wink

What? Is this post bait?

Don't think that site is worth the time it takes to register. Adding Monero is just a ploy to get traffic IMO.

of course it is

but if the forum should pick up traffic, the info provided on monero should be good.

I'm not endorsing anyone to move over there. personally I like the getmonero forum the best. just took a while to get used to the gui.

This is an automatic update. Do not reply/quote this message. I am tired of the trolldom spreading FUD about this great project. My trollbuster algorithms have detected the forbidden use of the word GUI in your post. Welcome to my ignore list.

Tongue

To be honest, I think he meant the GUI of the new website/forum :-P

Thank you very much for the cogent answer. Monero is really my first venture into anything tech related and I'm trying my best to get caught up and familiar with all the terminology.

aye. I got into it as my first cryptocurrency venture as well, and this was all new to me. People are generally friendly, so don't hesitate to ask anything. Though a good googling of any topic is always in good order

also, for more speedy inxns, you can checkout #monero on freenode (IRC), which you can access via HexChat (software) or Kiwi (web app: https://kiwiirc.com/client)

Would you mind telling me the basics of this Source/GIT/ project?

By source/GIT/project he means everything encompassing Monero.

Monero is open source software. Thus, it is developed in an open source manner - this means that anyone can contribute. Because the organization of anyone contributing to software can become a nightmare, the developer of Linux created Git.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software)

You can imagine git as the place where software developers can collaborate on software in an organized fashion, so they can go "yo bob, you broke the monkey infuriator function" and bob can go "ok, I'll fix it". Primarily, git functions as version control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_control

So. The monero source code is in a git repository. This git repository has to be maintained by someone. That someone is the Monero Core team. The core team ultimately decides what goes into the repository and what doesn't.

Thats a very short and crude answer, but that should cover it.

Monero is clearly wonderful and has HUGE potential to become one of the main cryptocurrencies in use- this we all know. I think the greatest hurdle Monero will face is to definitively punch through the ceiling that it has been under for the past year and consistently remain above 1 dollar. To reach that goal and increasingly loftier heights, more and more of the general (less tech savy) public will need to buy into Monero as they largely did with Bitcoin. My question for all of you is what are some of the things that we could recommend to the developers to make Monero more user friendly to the masses?

Price of Monero in fiat ultimately is irrelevant. If fiat is a broken system then it is how much STUFF you can purchase with monero that matters.

The developers appear to be good stewards of the source/git/project and I like their approach to things.

What do you think about https://forum.bitcoin.com?

I think Roger Ver is the most (albeit only?) unfortunate casualty of the Grand Schism.

He opened that forum in a fit of pique, having chosen Gavinblocks and XT governance coup as the preferred cross on which to martyr himself.

Having vastly overestimated public support for Gavinista 'People's Front of Judea' separatism, he's now reduced to bribing people to post on his pathetic Island of Misfit Gavincoiners.

The $1k plea for attention takes the cake, as an epic self-clowning demonstration of his forum's negative (absent lavish subsidy) value proposition for potential participants. I couldn't possibly clown him any harder than he's beclowned himself.

Quick, somebody win teh prize and promptly donate it to Bitcoin Core! That'll show 'em. Tongue

Does this also deal with the second hard fork in MRL-0004 to require a minimum mixin of 4 after 2 years?

It doesn't right now. The plan is to feature freeze the forks six months in advance (I think there is a thread on this at the getmonero forum). There are certainly other important features that will need to be forked in like multisig and others, so there will be more forks (unless development stops of course, but let's face it, if that happens the coin is in pretty big trouble).

Yes I am aware of the thread. https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/303/a-formal-approach-towards-better-hard-fork-management; however this does not mean that the code for the mandatory mixin of 4 after the appropiate delay could not also be included in this fork.

True, but from a practical perspective the way the code works each time there is a fork the block version number gets incremented. Currently there is code "if version > 1, enable the minimum mixin 2 rules". We don't even know how many forks there will be in two years, so we wouldn't know what version to use nor when that fork will happen. We could pick some arbitrary numbers like jump to version 10 as of some future block height (and possibly change them in a future update), but that is somewhat messy.

I'm not saying it couldn't be included, nor do I really have a position on it, just explaining how things are being done currently.

Yes, after reading the code. I see what you mean. The code is checking for hardfork version rather than block height a second time, so it is simpler and less prone to error to do it this way.
