saddam went off to a camp somewhere, maybe. I can neither confirm nor deny.

tacotime is dead, I'm pretty sure.

Where's saddam? and long time since tacotime posted here

I'm presenting Dash at the Barcelona Bitcoin Meetup in Barcelona next Tuesday. To any dasher around the area... please come and help spread the word!

http://www.meetup.com/bitcoin-barcelona/events/222636340/

The Barcelona BTC meetup is the biggest in Spain and one of the most attended ones in Europe. Besides the usual attendance (30-40 people), all people at the Bitcoin panel in the Symposium on Electronic Crime Research (eCrime 2015), that takes place in Barcelona that same day, are invited:

https://apwg.org/apwg-events/ecrime2015/

The organization expects many of them to go to the meetup and this could be a good opportunity to present Dash in a more friendly way to this audience.

I will do a 20-30 min overview of Dash, covering masternodes, darksend, instantX and blockchain governance. We will try to connect with Evan via Skype for the Q&A, but we don't know for sure yet because we need to test the audio at the venue first.

aleix made this possible and he will record the presentation. We'll make the video and the deck available so anyone can use.

I will be travelling to Barcelona specifically for this. Depending onf the final arrangements, I expect the cost of the train and the hotel to be around 200-250 EUR (80-100 DASH). I'll be doing this anyway, but donations to help cover the costs are more than welcomed My address is XcuTUeqH3zQmrfWQB3APRWLWkvM2fshpQc

If there is any excess over the cost, I'll tip attendees who download the wallet after the event so they can try Dash.

it seems our ghost non-community member run site monero.org has a full list

http://monero.org/services/exchange/

this is a list as well:

https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/monero/trading_exchanges

I have no idea which one of those work. But from those lists, and from my own googling,

https://bter.com/trade/xmr_btc
https://hitbtc.com/terminal/XMRBTC
bittrex
shapeshift
poloniex

I wonder if /r/monero-markets guy has a good list going.

Thanks

For now we only support BTC, BTS and NXT based coins. I will add CryptoNote and NEM later, but I absolutely can't tell when. Will be a while, my to-do-list is getting bigger instead of smaller all the time
The code's on github though, anyone could add it...

Yeah... you should microwave those for a little while to fix them.

His failed drive is an SSD.

You have to be careful about drive feezing, because if you go too cold, or run the drive for too long at cold then the spindle bearings will be destroyed. The bearings may damage the platter surfaces if they emit any particles or gelled lubricant while running cold, which would dramatically decrease the chances of data recovery by any paid service.

Is there a current list of Monero exchanges somewhere?

https://getmonero.org/getting-started/merchants lists only poloniex, bittrex and melotic. (Never heard about the last one, and it seems to be broken as well...)

All this drive feezing and so is good advice for a hard drive with spinning platters, but didn't we find out a few pages back that the drive in question is a SSD...?

His most +EV play here is simple.  Do not do ANYTHING to the drive.

1.  Buy ~$200+ in XMR (this step is optional).
2.  Put drive on shelf.


If XMR goes to the MOON then he can easily afford to recover the other drive, and he will not have done any extra damage by spinning up a damaged drive.   If XMR fails then he's out what?  A couple hundred bucks?  All the while you get to enjoy being part of the speculative family again.

geeez! Backup folks.

I also read that getting it really cold (freezer) and then copying files quickly works for some people.  Sounds crazy but might be worth a try.  If monero ever gains a lot of value paying 2-3k for recovery will be a non issue.

I said some days before SHTF that we should look back at Bter as alternative, I was already using Bittrex so I guess I'll be fine.

If cryptsy or other exchange could implement XMR right now it would be optimal for them (and us).

So I have been out of the crypto world for a week or so and now all of a sudden Poloniex has sold out to the goverment.
I still would like to trade but don't wanna bother with the KYC bullshit.

Is there any alternatives you guys recommend? I have tried Bittrex but the volume is very low compared to Poloniex.

right, i get it, and it seems we are definitely moving towards that in some fashion (serialized addresses / payment IDs), if we're on the same page.

in the meantime, though, i would argue that a stop gap solution is warranted. I don't know if you're lurking on IRC, but almost all of the folks that drop in (i.e., are there for one purpose and then leave) ask about the payment ID. i mean, i'm generalizing, but its a lot.
