Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 876. (Read 4670673 times)

I'm absolutely sure the fed's version of crypto won't allow them to fudge the numbers..... Total confidence. Governments much rather would create a banking system-proprietary blockchain. This really the only part of crypto they want. Lets get real and practical. The governments would collect taxes through crypto because it can require by law that employers record all wage payments. What it completely destroys is the banking system.

Sounds like a good idea! Perhaps we could ask the person who translated the ANN to translate the website as well? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/xmr-monero-ring-signatures-604293 & https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/lisalee-253834

I will match your 100xmr.

I propose to make a bounty for translating getmonero.org into chinese and also make a bounty for forums to announce the translated getmonero.org website.
What do you think about that?
I would start with 100xmr

It would be very beneficial if some Chinese people would start writing about Monero on Chinese crypto currency websites/forums.  Getting some of the more relevant materials on getmonero.org translated into Chinese would be great as well.

Its a huge market not to be underestimated.

Do you want us to email them in English? I think we would stand more of a chance if, for instance, you emailed them in Chinese.

Agree on the bolded part and I think the devs would certainly help with integrating as long as one of their devs speaks proper english.

PS: Monero is already on there, just not as trading pair -> http://www.btc38.com/altcoin/xmr/

I need your help!

Please email [email protected] and ask them to add Monero

BTC38 is a very important altcoin exchange in China.

Chinese care about privacy but most are not aware of Monero yet.

BTC38 will like our volume. Someone from the dev team should also work with them to make sure they set things up correctly.  Perhaps they would be a good test case for the first exchange to use an integrated address and payment ID

That's Bitcoin FUD !!!

This petition will totally work:
"Government, please give us Bitcoin fungibility for our revolutionary cryptocurrency so we can make your fiat currency worthless."

The government will FOR SURE ^tm listen to us and happily ignore the public blockchain and promise to NEVER ^tm use any tool to analyse the data.
PROMISED ^tm

 

Fungibility cannot be voluntary.


This is an astonishingly simple tautology, and yet people keep ignoring it.

For the record I picked over 100,000 for jokes. In actuality I own a little less than 200(And intend to buy more). So yea if anyone else did anything similar(I'm sure most did), then the poll obviously isn't accurate/doesn't represent anything.

I'd argue that 32-bit wallets are important. Private digital currencies are just as much about politics as they are about technology. There is a whole subculture out there of political anarchists, nomadic cyber-what-nots, travelling vagrants, hippies, libertarian survivalists, hedonistic nihilists... a global bunch of misfits who have little interest in the practicalities of expensive new technological equipment, while simultaneously having significant interest in technological concepts that are able to work in harmony with current lifestyles.

32 bit is intended to be able to run nodes on cheap (<$50) embedded platforms like raspberry pi, which is valuable for decentralization and privacy. There are 64 bit embedded devices but they are less readily available and more expensive.

32 bit desktop support is totally unimportant and I don't think any core development team effort is being put into it at all. I'm not sure any of us even have a 32 bit desktop system for testing. Now it may just work, and if we get reasonable pull requests to address issues there we'll merge them, but that would have to be some development contributor wanting to work on it.

Instead of lowering 32 bit development priority why not just cancel it? It seems like a waste of time and the development team has many other important projects

Yes, Bitcoin has no true fungibility, if it can be attacked it is not anti-fragile and can be disrupted, no amount of pretty please will make governments or corporations refrain from doing it, in fact they are already unmasking Bitcoin transactions in real time. flufflypony explained the dangers very well here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/3ayf7f/fungibility_arguments_re_bitcoin/csh3inn

100k is roughly 0.5%, so that kind of makes my point.

I believe Risto has said (but I can't find the reference) that he doesn't think anyone holds much more than 400k, because there's no good reason to at this point. A million is unlikely.

what is a Troll again? oh yeah

right, i agree.

Yeah that´s good, it is an public poll, but you can ask Risto of how much he holds 
Your richlist still states nothing, i told you so last time dude 


Jope, it is, and will be 

From those (few?) that are stuck with 32-bit pc's and want to use Monero, how many of them would run a full node anyway if they could run an SPV wallet instead? I'm guessing not that many. A 32-bit bitmonerod ain't worth the hassle from my point of view.

The general feeling I get is that full 32 bit node > SPV wallet, because decentralization. To that end, I understand that core effort is focused on 32 bit database version work.... if you have a 32 bit machine, take it for a spin. Hrm, maybe I'll make a VM this evening and see if it works. Oh bugguh. Then I'll have to find a raw blockchain or convert one. Blargh.

Although this type of effort is a good candidate for parallel development - as is the case with bitcoin, I assume some % of monero users won't bother with running full nodes. Independent of full client type (LMDB vs. in-RAM), SPV network can still extract block headers from blockchain.... what would we need to make this happen? From what I understand of these clients, we would have to extract block headers from the blockchain... some individuals would have to run some type of additional server to feed up these block headers or something...

i wonder how hackable electrum is to monero's end

https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum

I'm guessing possibly not, due to fundamental architecture difference between two systems? (separation of wallet and daemon in monero). Hrm... possibly clash in development pipeline though due to transition from RPC to 0MQ? I know that has something to do with how wallet communicates with daemon. BAH! I don't know enough.

Who wants to try the new forum funding system for this?
