David is actually probably a rather qualified individual to talk with BFX. Aside from great character and proficiency of this space's nuances, it probably helps that Raphael and David are fellow Frenchmen.
Lol. I wish I had saved the logfile of the conversation I had with him. I strung him along for like 30 minutes.
I shall have them. PM me if interested.
It might offend the solipsists.
Little do solipsists know, Socrates was the OG of solipsism
Edit: “The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.”
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.

The only info on the viewkey I can find is on the MEW site--is there more info available yet? Or did I miss something on the main site? A good ELI2.5 would be good to counter attack xdrkdashians.

The "glitch" in the obfuscated miner was fixed extremely fast (by NoodleDoodle, one of the core team members), a lot faster than most people remember. At the time it was a pretty big deal.[...]
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
.
so the question is at what point does any cryptocurrency become a stable store of value to begin attracting those that are trying to avoid the negative interest rates that are besetting contemporary finance? I'm assuming its merely a measure of time - but how much time? and how much stability?
And it will be interesting if bitcoin can maintain its value as this fungibility thing plays out.
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).
don't quote.
Exactly. I ignored blockafett and primer- but still have to suffer the replies.
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.
in a week price down of 40% - why?
Not as much growth in the "posable gmaxwell doll" sector as we expected. Someone should fire the VP of Marketing and replace him with someone with a man like Primer- who really knows what this industry needs.
Speaking of... haven´t seen David in a while, is he off on vacation?
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!
