Quick overview of recent changes to master since last time:
Payment IDs can now be encrypted. Those are now 64 bit on the blockchain. Integrated addresses are changed to use these (so integrated addresses generated before that change are now invalid, in case someone tried those from git). Full size plaintext payment IDs are still possible.
Input selection now uses the triangular distribution (prefering newer outpts). Previously this was only used for the old blockchain format.
A couple fixes to possible behavioral differences between old blockchain and new blockchain, which could have caused an inadvertent fork on corner cases.
A new rescan_spent simplewallet command, which queries the daemon for the wallet's outputs spent status. This is intended to fix the need to rescan the blockchain when a tx does not go through after being accepted by the daemon. Note that this command leaks info about which outputs you own to the daemon, so it is not to be used if you connect to a third party daemon.
And the usual set of random smaller fixes and tweaks.

@BBRcurrency We will be listing at least one CryptoNote coin this week. 2.0 integrations in general have been slow for us. But not anymore
I asked about how they could add ETH so quickly but take so long to add CryptoNote coins. Looks like 2.0 coins will be coming to Cryptsy faster going forward
"We will be listing at least one CryptoNote coin this week" surely must mean Monero
You can thank me for sharing this good news by following my Twitter account. I am not the enemy. I like XMR and AEON in addition to BBR. Maybe BBR and AEON can be next to come to Cryptsy?

Honestly, knowing cryptsy, it wouldn't suprise me if it was Bytecoin. Bought and paid for
Mh, well... no such coin added:
Cryptsy news from 5h ago:

Can this ("illicit actors can steal bitcoins from brainwallets") be a potential threat to Monero?

http://www.coindesk.com/new-cracking-tool-exposes-major-flaw-in-bitcoin-brainwallets/
Not, unless you use a brain wallet. I'm not aware of any brain wallet implementations for Monero. There was someone on IRC trying to create one a few weeks before that story came out and I told him it was a bad idea for this exact reason. Brain wallets are just a bad idea someone came up with once and didn't die soon enough.
Now computationally in practice I do think it would be harder to crack a Monero brain wallet, should such a thing exist, than it is to crack Bitcoin brain wallets, but they're still a bad idea.

.I find mymonero a useful hotwallet but in the event Monero is worth several hundred a piece I would not use it anymore.
Why not? It is no less useful as a hot wallet. You just don't keep your whole stash there.
August 13, 2015, 01:27:52 PM
i use mymonero.com
its trustless and run by a core dev member.
but you loose a little privacy as he knows your viewkey (which means he can see your balance and transactions like with bitcoin)
otherwise i'd just go go with the current console wallet and wait for an official gui one.

You lose privacy to the people operating mymonero or in control of mymonero, it still far more private than Bitcoin and it is like a bank account (only the bank can know how much you have and to where you send money). I find mymonero a useful hotwallet but in the event Monero is worth several hundred a piece I would not use it anymore.

I'm just getting into XMR and need a simple wallet.
Found link below and wondering if it's a good way to go?
https://minergate.com/faq/how-to-create-monero-wallet
Or, are there better/newer options out there that don't require downloading the blockchain?

There are some options over here -> https://getmonero.org/getting-started/choose
In case you don't want to download the blockchain, use a wallet with a remote node. You can take the node from moneroclub.com (temporary down currently) for example or use MyMonero.

Has anyone had any luck with Ipredia?
http://www.ipredia.org/
if you use ipredia and run a node on it.... do you essentially achieve the same goal as when i2p is integrated into Monero?

It looks promising. Similar to tails right?
Has anyone gotten Monero to work in Tails? I keep seeing conflicting reports.
I haven't given it a shot due to the lack of persistence by design... don't know how I'd get a *useful* blockchain there. I guess theoretically you'd just use mymonero?
Couldn't you just starting syncing? Or are these systems designed to be completely non-persistent, meaning you would have to sync every time. That would not work.
NM, ima dumbass. tails does have an encrypted persistence option. https://tails.boum.org/doc/first_steps/persistence/configure/index.en.html
i goto sleep now.

this ipredia thing looks like you can actually install it to HD and use as a standard OS.
