Monero 0.9.3 binaries got released, upgrading my nodes.

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases/tag/v0.9.3

Information from Github:

This has urgent and important bug fixes to 0.9.2 Hydrogen Helix

Urgent bug fix for database corruption issues in 0.9.2
Official Windows 32-bit releases are back
Updates to miniupnpc
Sets v3 fork date for September, 2016
Fixes core tests and re-enables them
Fixes a problem with --password-file not working in RPC mode

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General hardfork information:

Background:

https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/303/a-formal-approach-towards-better-hard-fork-management

Quote

What are the change(s) with the upcoming hard fork on the 20th of March?

Blocktime is bumped from 1 to 2 minutes. See:

https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2401/increasing-the-block-time

Minimum blocksize is bumped to 60 KB. See:

https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2409/increasing-the-minimum-block-size

A big advantage of this is that current individual transactions that sometimes won't go through (because they are a bit above the median due to many outputs (e.g. dust), or the daemon / MyMonero rejects them for some reason) can easily be included in the block without incurring a penalty. Above is a bit of a blunt explanation, I am sure one of the core-team members / developers could give you a more detailed explanation.

Finally, the recommendations from the MRL team stated in MRL-0004, of which the minimum mixin >= 3 is probably the most salient. See:

https://lab.getmonero.org/pubs/MRL-0004.pdf

P.S. Due to variance the hard fork will likely be on the 21th or 22th of March. A specific block height was determined for the hardfork, not a specific date. The specific blockheight for the hardfork can be found here:

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/blob/master/src/cryptonote_core/blockchain.cpp#L83

Quote

// version 2 starts from block 1009827

P.P.S. As long as you are on any 0.9.x version in advance of the hardfork you are fine.

Sine secretum non libertas

Some browsers have dropped support for the deprecated RC4 algorithm. They do this in part to pressure you to change your cert, because of RC4 vulnerability exploits. I think letsencrypt.org provides free certs, but haven't used it myself.

You are funny Grin

I meant something like this

This site can’t provide a secure connection

The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite. This is likely to be caused when the server needs RC4, which is no longer considered secure.

The site has a decent comodo certificate as my site also does.
Maybe you should install the comodo root certificates and then it should not be any problem.

These certificates are issued by comodo and cost somewhat €10,- a year Grin

Monero does what no other anonymous coins can do and
I do mean ALL of them. Once we have the GUI wallet, I think we will
probably cross the .01 threshod within months. And I am not sure
dash will be able to maintain its price then.

I heard the backdoor slam as the Dasholes left the building yesterday, they couldn't take another day of gains for Monero. I can remember the days not so long ago the Dash/Dark people were over here trashing Monero. Their volume has gone low and the price has been dropping. Pre-Mine scam coins do that in the long run.

Prior speculation about Dash market cap leaking into Monero looks more legitimate every day.

Pity the poor DashHoles. They had such great hopes for Livecoin (the Russian scam exchange) and Exmo (their newest scam exchange).

And the Evan's Gate cargo cult truly believed CNY pairs on Bitfinex/BTC38 would lift their scam's outlook back to the heady days of Darkcoin hype.

Alas, 'twas not to be. Anyone who wanted Darkcoins bought them years ago, and nobody wants the post-hamfisted-rebrand Dash trash.

The funny thing is that now matter how bad the charts get and how low the volume slumps, DashHole cheerleaders always post rosy predictions about incoming pumps. Cheesy

And despite all the whining about Poloniex ('zomg it's not fair you can short Dash, zomg Polo favors Evil Monero, boo hoo hoo!'), almost no volume has moved away from there.

The interest rates in leding markets have dropped which indicates there are some shorts closed now but still there are open shorts so probably nothing drastic will happen to the downside but a slight dumps might take place before we have established the base probably somewhere close to 0.0034'ish.

Note that offered loans went to over 205K a few hours ago, before dropping back to current ~185K. Still much higher than previously. The dropping rates and increasing offers could be a result of new players undercutting for a piece of the pie, rather than closing shorts. I still have loans out at 0.5% - 1%.

Range trading as predicted, so far. A little higher than expected, though. No idea what comes next, but usually there is a wednesday bump.

I am a bit stunned that we haven't retraced back to .0032 ish

So you are basically predicting volatility.
I speculate also some volatility, now it probably rests a few days before creates a rock solid base for launching the next rocket to new orbit which is the high of 2015.

Looking into the future, events almost never play out the way they think we will. Sometimes things turn out better, sometimes worse, but often they play out in unexpected ways.

Totally subscribe that. Everytime somebody does a prediction, I know automatically is cancelled to happen. The more people predicting something, the more the reality blends into unexpected outputs.

Bubbles always happen when nobody expect them.

The overexpected halving x2 price won´t happen. You can mark my words. It would be or way more north than 800$/BTC or 400 stagnated and/or sunk. I would say the most improbable mix of both.

I predict the price will move up and down.

Monero Core Team

Development of the Monero GUI has been fully funded and is proceeding as we speak. There is of course no guarantee that one may be able to purchase Monero at the current prices after it is released.

A coin with no gui id a nooo go.
Sry but commando line i dont underst.
Who can i store my moneros safetly,?

I feel your pain. You still should run a local Monero node but can use the LightWallet2 GUI. If you are using Windows download Monero client at https://getmonero.org/downloads/ unzip to a folder on your desktop. Run bitmonerod until the blockchain is synched. You will also need to download LightWallet2 at https://getmonero.org/getting-started/choose. Download the LightWallet.exe and put in your Monero folder. While bitmonerod is running in a command console and synced messsage shows start up Lightwallet by clicking on the exe in your Monero folder and follow instructions. Now you have the privacy of a local Monero node with a GUI to send and receive Monero.

Any release date for the gui wallet?
Can i trust mymonero online wallet??

Thx

No official date afaik, but I'd guess maybe August. I wouldn't keep more than 100 or so XMR on web wallet. There was a Reddit thread where one guy supposedly lost 32k XMR on mymonero Shocked

Holy crap, I missed that! https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/491gbj/i_lost_some_monero_that_i_had_on_mymonerocom/

there might be an outcry over monero similar to the hissy fit Chuck Schumer had over bitcoin. A spark can turn into a wildfire of public outrage, fanned by the powers that be, and for example the NSA might apply its computing power to attacking monero. I think that scenario is unlikely, but it's possible.

Chuck Schumer is among the highest paid whores working the NY-DC circuit. The shameful, obscene things that filthy, corrupt SOB will do with his mouth for money would make Max Hardcore blush (or vomit in disgust).

But he did kick off Bitcoin's Great Rally to $1200, by grandstanding in a press conference, next to a laptop his interns got logged in to Silk Road ("ZOMG ITS EBAY FOR SCAARY EEVIL DRUUGS"). So Roger Ver has nothing on Schumer in terms of Bitcoin evangelism.

IMO we should contact Schumer as 'concerned citizens/banksters' and try to get him to perform a similar dramatic act with Monero as the subject.

Convince Schumer Monero is the biggest threat to his cushy phony-baloney mouth-whoring job, and we will reap PR dividends for years to come! Cool

From what I know, Monero isn't even accepted on (most) DN markets right now (even though I would have no idea); and if that's the case it would probably be pretty tough for him to prove the point of "Monero's scariness"

Umm, how do I scare people into selling their coins?

A hardfork will happen in less than 2 days. We all know hardforks are bad. Get out while you still can, before you get forked.

This has been a public service announcement.

Is there somewhere a map that can tell, which ammount of nodes is running on pre 0.9.x series to tell which nodes will collapse in a few days Roll Eyes

Not that I know of. The node count went from 125 to 150 with the release of 0.9 and as I type we have 185. These are ones with outgoing connections that can therefore be seen. https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html

So we should be OK.

No what I meant to say is that we are all going to die, sell while you still can Shocked
