Well that's kind of sad if you take in consideration the naming of MONERO. Maybe we should host a VPS there....

Well the strategy should be presence in south america, so we would need a native translation to esperanto and we also would need at least a full node there, better would be a mining pool.
For the translation i would chip in 

Portuguese and spanish if you want to cover the southern continent of america 

Well i am not quite up to date regarding our translations in identitiy and quantity....

There is a node in Brazil now. I'm surprised there's not at least a few between Mexico and South America. It seems like the most frequent visitors to #monero-pools on IRC are spanish speaking people looking for help. Maybe they all just mine straight to exchange though...or they're all actually the same person...or something.

Just checking in to want to let you guys know I managed to set up an Monero node. I'm testing out the mixing transactions. Still need to learn a lot though.

Some questions:
1) Is it possible to have instant confirmations ever added to monero?
2) How many darksend "mixing rounds" are comparable to the "mixing number" of monero

thanks in advance!

Congrats! As for instant confirmations, Monero uses 60-second blocks, so any transaction should confirm in 60 seconds or less. That's pretty fast. Someone else may be working on making faster confirmations. If so, someone else will pipe in with that info.

As for Monero mixin compared to darksend mixing rounds, all Monero "mixing" is completely decentralized and there are no master nodes on which to rely. I like Dash and have a good deal of respect for their devs but I'd rather not be dependent on master nodes since they are semi-centralized. What if a govt or entity sets up tons of masternodes and all of your transactions are routed through them? It's kind of like how Tor's privacy can be undermined if one entity controls all of the nodes in your route. Plus, all of Monero is open source so you know exactly what is going on in the system.  All of that to me means I can trust it more.

The Monero mixin count refers to the number of other signatures (aside from yours) in the ring-signature that authorizes the transaction. So a mixin of 4 means that there are a total of 5 signatures. This means that someone looking at the Monero blockchain has no way of knowing which of the five signers is the true sender. (from https://monerobase.com/Mixin)

1) lol, do tell

2) "6 "liquidity providers" are doing most of the darksend mixing"
lol, you just made that up. proof or stfu!

You have been confused by cargo cult brainwashing and stressful bag-holding.

Here, read this: http://www.truthcoin.info/blog/measuring-decentralization/.

The measure of decentralization is the cost of running a full contributing (access+verify+amplify) node.

A full Dash node costs 1000 Dash plus the other costs.  That's ~$2500, and terrible for decentralization as you approach Pareto convergence.

A full Monero node costs about $100 for an old laptop.  Excellent for decentralization out on the fat, heavy tail!
