discuss!

daydreaming i say.

..or maybe once btc managed to leave this blocked state behind it they will manage to..?

More details would be helpful. It probably just seems obvious to me because I know what commands in that section are relevant.

Ok, it failed.. the documentation of how to use MSYS2 and build Monero under Windows needs an update and makeover :-(

Just recompiled the latest version of bitmonerod; it's running very smoothly on OS X, without the libunbound errors on startup from a week ago. Great work, devs!

Thanks :-)

I will try myself first.

Btw, MSYS2 could not be installed into some subdir. It had to be c:\msys2 ... also, mintty likes to crash here and there.

Neither competition to XMR och BTC, but may turn out to be useful for both. It's a different ballgame.

Yup, just hop on IRC, and we can help you compile yourself or point you to some semi-official binaries if you want.

hi,
i'm searching for a trusted andoid monero wallet, any tips?
Thanks

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero if you follow the readme at the bottom you should be able to compile it for yourself... atleast i did it for Win 7. And if any errors occur just join #monero-dev and i think they will be willing to help you out.

Help please:

I would like to run a full Monero node under Windows 7. Unfortunately, I only have 8gb of memory available. Is there any build for Windows 7 that actually uses the new and memory friendly database? I really would love to run that node.

I thought money was a ledger.

Does ethereum provide a means for private, untraceable, unlinkable transactions?
Does ethereum have a hardcoded mechanism for blocksize scalability?
Is ethereum even meant to be a currency?

I admit, I haven't researched ethereum that much, mainly because I believe I've already found the next generation cryptocurrency. From what I recall (I read about it late 2014), however, ethereum is really geared towards functioning as a smart contracts platform, and not necessarily as a currency / money system. Granted, cryptocurrencies can be built within ethereum, but they will be (presumably) limited by the architecture of the ethereum platform. Indeed, the ether "currency" is meant to function as fuel for the ethereum smart contracts, so there is some cost associated with using the platform, both to incentivize supporting the network and protecting against flood attacks. And I have yet to confirm, but I read somewhere that ethereum emission is infinite, so value storage may not be the goal of the platform.

Thus, my conclusion is that ethereum is more a "competitor" to bitcoin regarding bitcoin's non-money functionality. Which, frankly, I'm happy to see. Complex systems generally function better (and are more robust) when each of their components is autonomous and communicate with each other over common space, as opposed to complex systems where everything is... (gasp)... centralized. For instance, if the entirety of the new era's digital economy was to exist on the bitcoin blockchain, it would bloat the system and be generally unnecessary and potentially increase fragility. People would find it frustrating that their transactions take X longer because some entity is processing a bunch of contracts through the platform, for instance... and who wants to store a 100 gig blockchain, under the guise of securing their finances, when half of the blockchain are these contracts that have nothing to do with money?

I kind of view the emerging infrastructure as virtual entities. While they are decentralized, they are still "things". There exists the bitcoin network, and it is powerful and it functions as a very effective and secure money system / payments platform / public ledger. There exists the Monero network and it functions as a private payments platform / monetary system. And now there will be the ethereum network, and it will do its thing.

This "one platform over everything!" mentality is weird to me, considering the interoperability (is that a word?) of the extant internet infrastructure. All the bits and pieces of what we know as the internet work with each other and use each other. Granted, it might not be ideal, but, for one, its pragmatic. And secondly, its the way things have always been, with the internet and with nature. I'm pretty certain that some web service of the future will access decentralized platform A for this, decentralized platform B for that, and decentralized platform C for the other, and the end user will have no idea this is going on, much like the end user has no idea what the hell the http thing in the front of their URL means.


( Of course, the grain of salt is I'm just talking out my ass, and indeed one could venture down the philosophical nature of money... is money just a contract? )

XMR withdrawals not working...

Thank you guys for proof that Monero development process is fairly hot, but just not enlighted in pop manner


Indeed, how do you think guys, is Ethereum somewhat a competitor to Monero? Or is Ethereum much more a competitor to Bitcoin?

Still can't believe it! but re-activated my Cryptsy account after >1y ;-)

If you believe in decentralization, please move some trading volume to @cryptsy this week. It will help liquidity and attract new users #xmr

Please retweet.

Decentralization matters. So does demonstrating to exchanges like bitfinex and btc38 that new exchanges that add us are able to attract volume.

I agree with this.  But to each their own.

Removed

Any word on the sexy GUI that devs teased pictures of a couple months ago? I know they said it was a ways out but I just wanted to see if any updates had taken place in terms of an Official GUI.

Added to Cryptsy!

I think we should also be nice to BBR and AEON and ask Cryptsy list them too

1. They both have community overlap with XMR
2. BBR has been nice to us (Reddit altcoin AMA, sharing Cryptsy news
3. AEON is run by one of our great XMR devs Smooth
4. Of all the other CryptoNote besides XMR coins BBR and AEON have been the most transparent and fair in terms of launch, emission schedule etc.
5. Neither BBR and AEON are pure clones. They both have and/or are developing unique features some of which could be of interest to Monero
6. Poloniex (compared to Bittrex) has taught us that people like to trade CryptoNote coins where most of them are listed. If Cryptsy is going to add more they may as well start with BBR and AEON instead of certain premined/fastmined alternatives.

If you agree retweet this:

I think this post is important. From Twitter we know that BCN is already asking for a listing. Lets push for BBR and AEON now to be added in addition to our favorite coins Monero!
