Bytecoin still not shown as premine, it's a shame because it's the most scammy of all.

All you had to do is line up the facts and ask, apparently. Glad they did the right thing.

yup    

Go to coinmarketcap, filter non-mineable and premined, something different?  

I shall have them. PM me if interested.

Descartes is usually credited for popularizing solipsism with his famous "cogito ergo sum" ("I think therefore I am").

Regarding the "kill-switch" for mining hardware, the answer is 3D printing with open-source blueprints, such as physible. I can even imagine using maelstrom to download an open-source blueprints. Using a decentralised technology (bitorrent) to create decentralised devices (3D printed miners) for obtaining decentralised cryptocurrency (Monero). Neat.

I updated History of Monero accordingly (still a lot of work to do on this one).

I remember that NoodleDoodle was hesitant to release what had become "his" miner (just a couple of parenthesis to be removed) because he was not sure this tweak did not have unintended consequences - we eventually decided to release what maybe was a broken miner (turns out it was the opposite, a better miner). This shows how naive we still were about the possibility of a crippled miner .

I recently read on IRC that chances are good that Bitcoin will stay in the 200 dollars range for one more year. This would be exactly what we need (and for Monero too, by the way - volatility is for parasitic traders, stability is for those who actually do something with money). Fluffypony recently said that he believes that since it is fairly distributed and dev do not have a large stash, the way to make money with Monero is by developing services around it. And this is exactly what I am doing (and why I am not that present recently - setting up a company takes times, money and energy).

Exactly. I ignored blockafett and primer- but still have to suffer the replies.

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

I suppose "Speaking of" relates to "VP of Marketing"

I'm setting up a company focusing on increasing usefulness of cryptocurrency (and particularly Monero) for legal persons (companies, NGO...) worldwide. It takes a lot of time, as you can imagine. This is also one of the few things I know that evolves faster than a cryptocurrency. And for Monero birthday, I was presenting cryptocurrencies at a French event. Expect more to happen later. If you own a company or hold an position of influence in one and are curious about what we offer, you can PM me.

Also, I'm preparing a Monero meetup in Paris, in partership with... Mozilla! https://forum.getmonero.org/14/events/277/monero-meetup-paris-france-may-21th-2015

Malware analysis would be the determining factor not someones post, I thought that would be obvious. I post rather lazily most of the time.

I also see no reason why the DEV team could not work closely with security companies to forward addresses to pools after verification. That might be a nice step toward removing bot nets. But of course that would lower hashrate and thus security of the chain. So...

And they will end just creating a pool for themselves, there is nothing we can do about it, in the same way vile and despicable characters are part of the "real world" economy, but with cryptocurrency we can at least solve some of the big problems. Smart mining will help.

That's drastic and premature. I concur with what smooth wrote.

Nice way to steal coins from a big miner. Post something claiming that address infected your computer.

Is it true? I don't know, it could be, but still you can't act on this information or many future reports will certainly not be true.

People need to secure their own computers. It could also be someone using one of the cloud computing exploits. Again, the cloud computing providers need to secure their system better. (Often they don't as an explicit business decision.)

I think the pool should redirect all funds from that address to either to a burn address or the dev fund. And the malware should be copied and setup on a system to monitor the botnet.

I have studied Economics Major. Stability can be:
- exchange rate stability
- price stability
- neither.

In the latter part of 1800s, exchange rates were fixed (each country's currency was just a differing weight of gold). Prices fluctuated a lot based on natural events, but had an overall declining trend based on productivity increases and expansion of trade.

Now, exchange rates change widely, even big countiers' currencies (USA; EU; Russia; Japan; China) are allowed to fluctuate by up to 100% per year against each other. This does not make prices stable, however. Some contractual prices are more sticky than the others (wages denominated in own currency), giving the impression of stability where nothing exist.

The prices have never been stable. We should not think that it could be possible in cryptoeconomy either. The whole goal is absurd and should be rejected.

typed in the address pointed out here: http://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/33waz3/ive_never_used_cryptocurrenciesknow_much_about/

so why not share

it pulls 260 KH/s right now and is close to 50% of the pool http://cryptmonero.com

what do you think how many pc's running? 5000? infected i estimate about 10-15k. what do you think, more?

What, you expect to be allowed to sleep ONCE a day! !@#$@@$

On a side note:

You think so though?

I always had thought that it would take a significant increase in liquidity to become even close to stable, on the route that the ability to remain stabilized would require both an incredible price as well as the ability to encompass the collective wealth of all involved.

So, for the currency to be stable within, say, 1%, then no less than 1% of the total marketcap needs to be within +/- 1% of the price, while factoring something relating to the userbase that would be looking to trade in that 1%.

So for a currency worth 5 billion, and a price of 100$ for a unit, between the price of 99$ to 101$, i'd be looking for $50 million to be ready to go in that range for either sale or purchase. This isn't factoring a scale relating to having less available at market prices and having more available at trading prices.

I'm probably off base a bit, never really studied much economics, but have wondered what stability would look like on the charts.

oh!

MyMonero unavailability isn't pleasant but it can wait for a few hours.


For the critical cases, MyMonero can be used in parallel with simplewallet. So no risk of losing control of your xmr.

When I win the lottery and start buying in.

Seriously, though, it'll probably be once the monetary inflation of bitcoin drops significantly lower than most fiat currencies'.

All back up:)

The Galera cluster had a bit of a cascading failure due to disk space issues (logging got out of control and log-rotate setup was faulty), so the API couldn't satisfy queries. Of course, this happens in the dead of night whilst I'm asleep

If, at some point, we can afford support staff in different time zones we can alleviate the risk of this happening. If it is ever super urgent, and I am asleep, all of the core team have my mobile phone number and can call me till I wake up.

I think this is a small hick up too but we need to be realistic, first thing I did after creating my wallet there was read the terms of service and it says it can go down and never up again at any time for whatever reason, I dont say this to create suspicions, I think fufflypony has a perfect record in this regard. But its how these things works, we can only trust in the p2p network. Besides the code to recover the funds from mymonero with the simplewallet is already in the github so there is really nothing to fear.

Not sure this is the acceptation way to handle this. The web wallet is operated by a Core member. If we cannot trust that site, we might as well not be able to trust the operator. Im sure its just a hick up and will be good shortly, but should be taken pretty serious non the less.

Thats why you should never trust a webwallet, its your own fault, sorry for your loss
