I put it in a sandbox. VMs can work in some cases. The key here is to never trust it.

If it runs propriety software one should not trust it and assume that it will spy. If it supports DRM then it is almost guaranteed to spy.

If you had watched the video correctly, your assertion is wrong, a LED light can not spy on you.
What is shown in this video is that a LED can transmit by light signal, the sound recorded with a microphone!

So LED is not recording any sound by itself, just a media to transmit (leak) the sound signal recorded by other way.

And it will be worse once IoT will be transparent-blockchain powered. Hence the need to port Monero for IoT.

Oh, one more thing: in our blockchain-powered internet of things future (IBM, Szabo], opaque blockchain would help avoiding the pervasive monitoring Snowden revealed to us. You would certainly not want every burglar to know when you are home just by scannng the blockchain, right? Just give the viewkey to selected devices and youre fine.

Hi,

does anybody know where to get the 0.8.8.6 source?
The actual git version (0.8.8.7) does not work with the latest blockchain.bin.

Thanks.

It's in git. Be aware that the current blockchain format is platform specific, so you might have a version for another platform that the one you're running on.

You'd add "git checkout v0.8.8.6" after cloning/pulling.

Most likely when:

-XMR payment implementation is available for merchants
-DB issue is resolved
-GUI Wallet is released
-When those that want true privacy in their financial transactions find and discover Monero and realize what it can do.
-Dark market adoption

these are just a few guesses on my part and are in no particular order, I'm sure there are many other factors that will contribute to the rise of Monero. Most of all the true privacy of the coin is its biggest asset IMO.

as far as I know there was a private message group or something for folks that put in XMR. For real news, gotta wait for them to chirp up.
