Speaking of dice sites, who's gonna be the next Voorhees? Who will make the goto dice/gambling site for Monero?

I was actually seeing a push from some of the more creative alt coiners to create slot machines and virtual scratch off tickets with cryptocurrency. If they were probably fair, this could be lucrative.

I know maybe I'm opening up the floodgates for spam here, but can someone summarize all major Monero gambling sites in a single post?

I think SafeDice is the only other site accepting Monero.

In general dice left a bad taste in our mouths after Bobbax ran with the XMR. Were you around for that? Cryptocoins-Dice exit scam.

What Voorhees did is not run an exit scam, and he made a lot more than Bobbax did. Something to consider.

Is anybody working on a faucet?

Yeah, shitaifan2013 stated that he is working on that in cooperation with SafeDice if I recall correctly.

MM time?

It's been a very busy week for Monero.

I demand a new MoneroWorld Weekly Digest!

Here I'll start:

Quote

- part time core dev crowdfunding nearly done Shocked

-Chinese translation funded Cool

-Arabic and many other translations Soon(tm)

-Peter Todd says nice thing about Monero, trolls Dash, absolutely epic butthurt ensues Grin

-NoodleDoodle issues massive commit bringing DB to RAM performance levels or better Shocked

-RPIE announces his company will start the process of buying One Million Moneroj Shocked

-8/8 is declared Lucky Monero Day in China Undecided

-Jay-Z films new rap video sitting in hot tub filled with cryptonic coins, champagne, and groupies Wink

-Putin announces he will only sell gas/oil/vodka for XMR Huh

-Monero Bears still understandably terrified of shorting, even given 0% loans Roll Eyes

3 little additions

- a finnish company is planning to get more exposure to monero (edit: just saw that you already mentiioned this)

- a faucet is going to launch within the next few weeks

- 2 newly corwdfunded xmr nodes via bitnodes.net(https://bitnodes.net/status/) are up

have a good start in this new week gang!

Nice recap. I think I missed the faucet news. Where was that?

so far I've only dropped the hint on the faucet launch one or two times. Wink

maybe that wasnt on here but on getmonero.org.

There may be licensing/attribution issues with borrowed and stripped code. But IDK if github will do anything about it.

I wouldn't really want github to get in the business of deciding what gets censored or not. How would they determine if a claim is valid ? What if both projects took code from a third one which they don't know about, for instance ? Besides, only the attribution/copyright thing is wrong. Removing comments is perfectly fine, as long as the copyright notice is retained.

The original code apparently had nearly all the comments programmatically stripped out. (I have no idea how well commented it was before they were stripped, of course.)

What is the evidence that nearly all the comments were programmatically stripped out?

There are very few comments, and little to nothing the way of design documents or notes, so either nearly all of these were removed from the tree (though "programmatically" is just a theory -- they could also have been removed by hand) or the code was never properly documented in the first place (ugh).

As further evidence for the latter, there are some modules that have been identified as being from other open source libraries with the attributions and comments removed, but again it is still possible those comments were removed but the rest of the code was never commented.

Have those modules comments been reinstated?

Well thats a HUGE red flag! Is there a way to permanently point this out on github for others to note?

Getting more of the common code to directly use existing (and actively maintained) open source libraries is definitely an ongoing goal. It isn't exactly the highest priority because, well, it works the way it is and there are other priorities (and limited resources).

I think fluffypony pointed out the exact incident with github commits on one of the old trolling threads.

how big is the network really?
i can see numbers from 8 mh/s to 14 mh/s.

can't we estimate it better? (or you, becasue i cant Kiss

)

like saying difficulty 900'000'000 means there are like 20'000 gtx 960 equivalents or whatever

The difficulty or some interpolated version of the difficulty is really the best estimate. The hash rate estimate is the difficulty estimate divided by 60.

So at a difficulty of 900M the hash rate estimate would be 15M. Let's say a midrange GPU is 500 H/s so that would be 30 000 GPUs.

Better organization of information and less trolling

Except that I can't reply in any threads on https://forum.getmonero.org

I used to be able to. I can start threads, which I have to let it be known I am having issues. Now waiting, it's all I can do.

I see your thread there; since you can't respond there, I'll ask here:

Have you tried a new user account or different PC? Those seem the most obvious isolation ideas.

Thanks for the suggestions. Neither worked.

I had already tried 3 different browsers.
