Furthermore there is silent miners for botnets which you can buy only for 10$ on the forum for hackers.

That's very interesting.

What is also very interesting is how we have two separate accounts showing up to comment on it within a few minutes. The accounts were
created with a day of each other four months ago, and both have the same history of one line posts written with the same style.

What a coincidence!

Glad you sorted that out for us, I was about to dump all my holdings!

Hello, fellows. I've recently found that monero devs seize power over gitHub so they are able to do with the coin whatever they want (pump and dump is coming soon, IMHO)

Here is a conversation btw some davidlatapie and andytoshi - http://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/wizards/2014-05-06.html

andytoshi: davidlatapie: also if you have not already, please don't mention this channel by name in the altcoin communitcy
davidlatapie: andytoshi: I just did on #monero (I have the habit of quoting my source). I take good note on it and won't mention it again. I hope I am still welcome.

I don't think I've mentioned it here yet, but I've setup a small website devoted to Monero news, reviews, etc.

https://monerobase.com

And more recently, I'm mirroring the posts to Twitter at https://twitter.com/monerobase

Thanks!

Current price and volume of BCN would be the best explanation for the behavior of some BCN butthurt in this very thread Grin

Alright so I tried my first Monero transfer from one adress of mine to another on my laptop. I used mixin count 3. I sent it about 10 min ago and it still hasn't showed up yet. How long does it usually take to get confirmed?

A minute, maybe 2. Variance on 60 second blocks isn't terrible, so I haven't seen a notably high block time yet.

First thing to check would be monerochain.info to see if it's been mined, just search for the transaction ID. If it is, then make sure you "refresh" the other wallet, and make sure you're caught up and in-sync with the network.

So my transfer still hasn't showed on the receiving computer but on the sender I have 2 balances. First a "balance" and then an "unlocked balance" which corresponds to the original balance minus the sum I sent. What's going on here? Appreciate the help.

Usually this suggests sending with an obsolete version of the client that uses too low a fee.

The solution in that case is to get the new software, restore your wallet using the keys file, and then resend.

Being a troll is fun sometimes. But I am quite serious right now. Doesn't that make you suspicious about their purposes?

Unlikely that these are all Bytecoin chills. Note that there are plenty of other shitcoins attempting to deliver privacy features (and failing badly). It's all good that they keep bumping this thread, but I for one, would be happier if they would just move on. Getting hard to keep up with this thread as it is...

Someone had questioned earlier on about a Portuguese crypto community: There's at least two of us, haha! Wink

What a wonderfully ridiculous post, what power are the devs seizing that they don't already have over the Github repository?

AndyToshi does mention a known potential issue with the PoW algo, but that's still being discussed and there are options to fix it if required.

Really appreciate all the help here but this is proving harder than I thought..

I re-downloaded Monero and installed a new version, synched the database and tried sending the transaction again. This time it worked but something strange happened. The 0.01 Monero I sent went through but there is also a pink transaction with the same transaction ID which is for 7 Moneros which has been deducted from the "unlocked balance". So to summarize my test send of 0.01 Moneros worked but an additional 7 Moneros (which I didn't send) seems to be stuck?

Those will coins back to you at a later time. You have to wait until they are unlocked to spend them again.

Alright but what are they for? How long will they be locked?

Edit: They were released now. But I'm still curious about why they were locked? Is there anywhere I can read up on how the system works so I don't have to ask all these newbie questions here? Also does anyone know how long before a simple to use wallet will be out? This text input system really isn't easy for people like me..

This is easy to explain. There are not "coins" in your wallet, there are "outputs" corresponding to transactions you have received. These outputs can only be spent in their entirety. So if you have an output of 10 that you received and you use it to send 1, then a transaction of 9 is sent back to you as change. As with any transaction, this one coming back to you takes time to confirm. Until that time the wallet reports that 9 of your balance as locked.
