I really feel for this community in the same ways I do for the human beans that help build Ubuntu, etc.

Thank you (again)

After reading this post, I stumbled upon a French text (English version) which blew my mind regarding how great ubuntu (the philosophical notion) is.

Even more interesting is that this intuitively positive impulse has lead Africa to no where. Where as the spirit of competition that we see in the west, which is intuatively less desirable than ubuntu, has lead to the creation of astounding wealth and prosperity. Sometimes life is so much more complex and unexpected than our intuitions would lead us to suspect.

I think the rioters in Baltimore were really just reveling in all that "astounding wealth and prosperity" the other day, eh?

EDITED TO ADD: I didn't test any of the converters, because they require you to have a in-memory blockchain, which I don't have. I've been running the LMDB branch for months now, so I couldn't test the converters.

Export and import should still work I would think, but they're not really worth testing because the current implementation is being reworked/replaced.

Until I see wild animals and insects hug-it-out, I'll stick with believing that nature programs us much differently than our intentions do and that is why many times the path to hell is paved with good intentions and good men discover themselves along the path to greed. Off-topic, but maybe we get stronger through surviving aggression and that's why Otoh's dump looks more and more like a bullish sign for our future.

Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger or drives us to a catatonic state after hugging it out with a horse.

WARNING - these are not "official", as in, someone from the core dev team didn't compile them and gave them the a-ok. I'm putting them here for testing purposes. I compiled following the instructions on the github. Perhaps they are static? Perhaps you can run the LMDB version of bitmonerod on your win 64 box and only use 50 megs of ram?

https://mega.co.nz/#!5YNACDTJ!N0pIow27_Tfsx4dMfMq4HA11ZSlEt7L135HvYEOuBU8

perhaps you can swap in the relevant .exe files from the above into the /resources/software/ folder of MoneroX you can have a monero GUI on windows 64 that sips RAM like a fine wine?

AGAIN - don't trust these. Test them until you trust them. Make sure they do everything they should do. I tested them on the box I compiled on and another windows 7 box.

Hopefully someone will post the data.mdb download link.

Dunno if the converter thing is true. Perhaps you give try? Yah?

Desperate plea

I doubt anyone takes you seriously since it sounds like you're actually proud to support the DASH scam.

"I openly support fraudulently instamined coins." -Otoh

He has no choice. He's all in on that scam. Unless he can pass his bags onto someone he is out a tonne of BTC.

Here is a link to an excellent article on BTC in Argentina, a place where govt corruption and banking bullshit make Bitcoin attractive.

http://www.nytimes.com/2015/05/03/magazine/how-bitcoin-is-disrupting-argentinas-economy.html?smid=tw-share

I went to Argentina a few years ago with little cash, blissfully unaware that their country's government thinks it can dictate exchange rates by decree (without buying/selling on the market using forex reserves).

Every time I withdrew from the ATM or used a credit card, I lost ~40% of my value. Tongue

It was one of the reasons I got interested in crypto.

Yeah purse is cool, except when wannabe scammers buy your Spends and don't deliver the goods. I have had 1 good transaction there, 1 bad one (BTC was returned to me, but I never got the stuff I wanted), and now 1 order in progress from a newbie that has me skeptical...

Imagine if people there could get hip to the advantages of Monero over Bitcoin.

Purse.io does look cool - lately I have been doing XMR.to -> Gyft for online purchases but it is annoying to have leftover amounts on gift cards. This seems like it could solve that issue.

@newb4now great stuff, thanks for posting that!

Does anyone have a list of public nodes?

the ones I know of:
xmr.space:8880
node.moneroclub.com:8880
moneroblocks.eu:8888

and I think one of the pools also had one.

Can you force the daemon to use different ports? I'm getting tired of changing my port forwarding everytime I want to test the daemon on a different computer in my home network. Hrm, perhaps I can have the external port forward to a different internal port.... yeah that might work.

You can set the daemon ports with --rpc-bind-port and --p2p-bind-port
