This bothers me a lot because I was vocal about being happy they added #xmr

The more exchanges we have the better but based on their history of problems with other coins (that work fine on other exchanges) I do wonder about their technical expertise.

DO NOT DEPOSIT XMR TO CRYPTSY !!

It's NOT POSSIBLE to withdraw coins once you deposit!!! Their system is broken or so they say. Very suspicious!
I opened a ticket almost 4 days ago, still waiting !!

DAY 7 , STILL UNABLE TO WITHDRAW!

FUCKING CRYPTSY SCAMMERS!!!!

Day 9, gave up waiting.. Sold XMR below market price, btc withdrawn, cryptsy account closed.
*DO NOT TRADE AT CRYPTSY - YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO WITHDRAW XMR*

Do you have a ticket # or your username so I can look it up? I was only aware of 1 failed withdrawal which we processed last night

EDIT:

We did find one withdrawal that failed to process. We apologize it took so long to get it resent. We repaired the bug that caused it a few days ago but yours was not resent for some reason.

I am glad you were able to fix the XMR issue. Please provide ANC an update to our issue as well.

I am posting here because it seems like you are ignoring us. Hopefully the Monero community wont object since I have been very vocal about my support for Monero (check my Twitter account) and am just trying to help community members who have stuck transactions.

In other news, I have asked BTC38 to add support for Monero:

Maybe this will incentivize more developers to come out of the woodwork. I mean clearly there are opportunities for work here, and they by no means have to keep their monero in monero. Maybe we need some sort of small initiative to advertise the fact that our community is hiring.

Hey people. I'm a github-noob. What's the latest release number for linux? I'm running: 0.8.8.7-b210b30

Also, is there a way to tell from the repo/files in it what the latest version number is? Thanks! Wink

e5405@e5405-G31M-ES2L:~/mondev/build/debug/version$

in that folder. yours should be build/release though

Thanks. I meant how do I determine the latest build/version number from the online github, prior to trying to recompile/upgrade, sorry! I just cloned the latest repo and am now on the latest build, though. Wink

It is funded in a little over a day. This is actually very good.

+1, I am intrigued. In addition:

I have other projects in mind that will be far more interesting, but this had to come first imo.

Great news guys! Another developer/contributer pitched a proposal for a part-time contract, see details below:

https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2373/documentation-and-cleanup-of-source-code

PS: It's open for funding already!

After a shitty day at work I come to see some good news. Just donated! I suggest anyone who can contribute do so. This is a project Monero supporters need to get behind. I really like how this project will help future developers. This is the stuff I love about this community. I have watched it grow so much and it keeps getting better. Grin

Quick overview of recent changes to master since last time:

And another update:

Development has now moved from master to the development branch: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commits/development

Here's a list of the noteworthy changes since last time:

- An overhaul of the whole RPC code to use 0MQ. The existing RPC is still available (and will be for the foreseeable future) using a proxy layer.

- a fix for the lingering crash due to not having file descriptors left. More of a bodge than a fix maybe, but the libevent code uses a lot of fds, and so we switched to using libunbound's internal alternative, which is a lot less demanding about this. There was no apparent leak, just high peak usage. If you're still getting this issue with the latest code, let us know.

- More fixes and changes to being the new blockchain code closer to the original CN code, to lessen the risk of accidental hard fork.

And of course more minor stuff like locking fix in simplewallet, the opimized slow hash enabled again with MSVC, misc improvements in the DNS utils code, etc. See https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commits/development for a list.

Snip of great post!

TLDR; These under the hood gear ups are truly making xmr pull far into the lead regarding technical prowess, should definitely be implemented before gui... and are well worth the wait. But it would be silly to expect an enormous influx of average-joe users without the gui, which means less usage and thus less incentive for merchants to spend the time to implement it as payment option.

About the bolded part. I know there is a Monero roadmap. But is there any insight in how many monthly hours are actually jointly spend on Monero development, beside the paid developer hours?

The obvious concern is that the vision and skills are there, but people are lacking time to achieve the set goals within a certain reasonable time frame.

Where can I find status of Monero development? Things like:

1) How many "core" devs are working on it, and who they are (handles, plus real-names/social-media where public)?
2) Roughly how much time per week/month these devs are spending on it.
3) What the dev roadmap is.
4) What the dev roadmap *was*, and were the milestones hit on-target.

^ You know, basic project management stuff. Looking at git commits only gives hints as to most of this.

pa's answer was pretty helpful on 1, 3, and 4. 4 may be a bit unsatisfying (I find it so) but given that we have to work with very unpredictable resources it is difficult to ever have timed milestones. So we never have and can't measure against them. That's just how it is.

As far as 2, it isn't formally tracked, but it's a reasonably significant amount of time for a mostly-unfunded open source project when you combine across the core team, the major development contributors, and the research group. I would estimate very roughly 2-3 full time equivalents (varies somewhat unpredictably over time though), and by that I mean just software development and testing, and work on research reports, not the work we put into communications, third party support, etc.

Smooth - would you estimate that the bolded part is still roughly accurate?

Yes I would say that is roughly accurate. There may be slightly less now, but I'm not positive of that because the effort is a bit more diffuse and some major in-progress work may not be so visible. For example, I really had no idea the amazing scope of Noodle Doodle's benchmarking, debugging, and optimizing effort until his recent commit (though I did know he was working on it).

There has been a bunch of work from the MRL on various crypto things including: strengthening anonymization both against combinatorial attacks and better hiding of amounts along the lines of Blockstream's CT, continued analysis of the problem of difficulty retargeting, and upgraded python implementations of more of the crypto.

On the C++ coding side we have NoodleDoodle's massive effort of course. MoneroMooo has been contributing more as well, mostly on a various wallet things (and his work will be now be funded for several months via the forum crowdfunding system), and let's not forget luigi1111's great work to define and implement integrated addresses. I know oranjuice is continuing to work on the API upgrade. I don't see commits (possibly I'm looking the wrong place) for it but he is regularly on #monero-dev discussing it.

So it is interesting that some people who previously put in a lot more work have been busy with other things and putting in less time recently, but others are now contributing to the development effort, and the overall effort fairly stable (that is also visible in the commit rate over the past 6-9 months, although that is an imperfect measure and doesn't include some things at all, such as most of the MRL work).

Sweet, donated a few.

I think this effort will help attract new developers as it will make the source code easier to understand much faster than without documentation

I did not know that jl777 was involved. is it true? did he support a solution because of bbr or is he involved in monero too?
thanks for the clarification.

He has not have any direct involvement with Monero but was supportive of Monero, and has even made some constructive suggestions privately occasionally. At the time his primary involvement was with BBR, and were it not for that he probably wouldn't have been part of that conversation at all. I also can't recall a time when he has done anything to stir up conflict between BBR and Monero.

In the process of that, I did discover the more remote potential to unmask anonymity of Cryptonote using combinatorial unmasking which I relayed to smooth. And for which if I am not mistaken I was reward 10 BTC by the trio smooth, jl777, and rpietila because I we had that agreement before I revealed the weakness I had identified.

btw. github looks freezed and healthy. if there is a freeze there do not seem to be any bugfixes, which is nice

should i compile this version and test? i have some time now on the weekend.

Crypto Kingdom News

Heard of Crypto Kingdom? Never heard of it? Perhaps you've even forgotten it exists! A lot of people are still waiting for the GUI version to come out (release is now imminent!). If you are still thinking of playing, one thing that you may want to look at is a carriage for your character. I am part of an in-game company that is the sole provider of carriages for players. You can get one for as little as 7 moneros, so if you haven't looked at CK in a while, it may be worth your time to revisit the thread and check out what we have to offer.

One of few policymakers I've heard talk of Btc's transparent Blockchain as a potential problem. It will be interesting to see if his view gains any traction.
