Good point.  We have the Monero research lab who does work in improving the code, but I would imagine the more eyes the better.

I created a thread for you on the getmonero forum.

*Edit: here's the link to the research lab and some of their work:  https://lab.getmonero.org/

that's much better...

Looks like Nick Zabo is watching XMR...saw him on stack exchange .....Also on Roger Ver's reddit he said he will look into XMR.

Is mining XMR still profitable with a regular computer? - nvidia gtx1080 GPU

GUI is coming in the next couple weeks.


Client wallet is not too hard at all anyway if you put some time into learning how to use it.

Cool thanks that has photos nice.

I wouldn't put a time frame on this... no one really knows for certain. Soon^tm


I felt this way too in the past when learning about xmr (and cryptocurrencies for that matter).  You really don't have to be a genius to do anything with the wallet or knowing how to run a node, the genius work has already been done by devs... all you have to do is follow the instructions for setup.

I can give you some pointers, though, which will make it easier for you to learn how to use xmr if you really want too. The main one is

If you don't have Ubuntu, or some sort of Linux distribution, it's probably better to go ahead and install it on a machine; or use a VM

• A lot tutorials that are out there on setting up, using, or doing whatever with Monero or any other crypto currencies is done on Linux
• It's way more secure than any other operating systems (OS) anyways
• It's free, and there are a lot of cool apps that come along with it!!

Other than that, there will be specific questions you will have that are specific to your situation with your machine, whether that is with Linux or Monero.  Good news is that questions could be both answered or searched for with Monero's stack exchange site or Ubuntu's (main Linux distro) stack exchange site.  

Once you get passed the learning curve of figuring out what everything is and what to do in terms of setting things up, it really becomes quite simple.

Nor is that a monero subreddit.

...how much this coin was when it first came out?

https://poloniex.com/exchange#btc_xmr

It looks like it started off really high, or just pumped initially to 0.01 btc and then went back down sharply at first and fluctuated over time.

I found this video on youtube.com    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Khz9VeFUJw is this video still good for info for xmr it is a old video?
