In the strange, strange world we live in, the fork has 2.2 million H/s while the non-fork has 180k H/s.

Maybe there's more to it.

Either way, enjoy your profit.

Russian thread updated. Long live, Monero!

Noob question:

After all the coins are mined, probalbly no one will be mining. How will transactions occur without blocks being generated? This applies also to bitcoin and a lot of other coins

You're right, this coin is fair, this is why I'm on. And you're wrong when you think I want to FUD or troll. Crypto-currencies need truth and trust. Too many scammers, liars, thieves... These are not things of no consequence, people put their money in. So they must know exactly what they bet on.

I maintain that this coin is just a fork with almost technically nothing more than bytecoin. This is just the reality.

As things stand at the present this coin has no more future than most of altcoins just because most of these coins (in fact all of them) add no improvements to what Bitcoin needs.

Who really cares traceability (Bitcoin is already an anonymous coin) ? If you do illegal things you should change your mind or ask real maffioso to help you.

We can talk about others so-called improvements of other altcoins :
- better confirmation time : even with 30s block time the real confirmation take several minutes, so can't compete with Visa Card;
- PoS : better than PoW for energy saving but worse for volume increasing transactions (as it is implemented today);
- difficulty regulation algorithms : useless when total hashrate is huge.

You don't have to "maintain" it, since it has always been advertised as such, from the very first post on the original thread. No one has attempted to mislead as to the purpose of the fork or the content of the fork. Over time I'm sure the coins will diverge in technical ways to some extent (as they have already, a bit), but that was not the purpose of the fork. The actual purpose was explained in my previous reply.


Here's where you make no sense. Cryptonote coins, and therefore Monero, make enormous improvements in the area of privacy. I don't want people snooping around my personal financial affairs, and it is very difficult (if even possible) to prevent that with Bitcoin. I think I have never posted a bitcoin address (although at times it would be convenient to do so), because I don't want anonymous people on the Internet tracing that address to snoop around in my finances. It is bad enough that people who pay me get an address of mine, and can therefore snoop around, although I do take some precautions. It is quite easy to prevent all of this with Cryptonote coins, requiring no special care or effort on the part of the user.


I happen to care and it has nothing to do with illegality. I simply value my personal privacy, especially when it comes to finances. I don't post my bank statements and other financial records on the Internet. Do you?

But you are certainly within your rights to not care, in which case I essentially agree, Monero has little to offer you.


Most of these are off topic unless you have specific suggestions to implement in MRO (or better yet code changes to submit).

Over the next 8 or so years (the period when most of the coins will be mined numerically)? I have no idea, and neither do you.  8 years ago Bitcoin didn't even exist.

This coin does not need to be innovative, it has the best chance of any to replace Darkcoin. The other difficulties you mention apply to any current coin. We are not interested in making a system that can be used by criminals. Nor is Darkcoin, the government/NSA have all the transactions as an open book for any of these public currencies. What we are interested in is a legitimate amount of personal privacy. There is no reason my purchases should be traceable to my ex-wife or bank manager without my permission, as they are with Bitcoin.

Darkcoin is doomed as it relies on trusted servers that can be exposed either by break ins to master nodes, or by government action. This coin is the best so far to use a reliable technology for privacy. It has some birth pains, as have all coins that make it. It does not need to be technologically innovative compared to the source it forked from, it just needs to be fairer. The original devs messed up their chance. This is like a community grab of Bytecoin.

At this stage, neither BCN BCN-clones or DRK can claim to be NSA-proof by themselves, without following best practices regarding anonymity etc etc. They are private for all intents and purposes for everything except NSA action.

We are talking about 99% anonymity and we are waiting, as users, for the extra 1% that will lock governments (actually the US government which has the big resources - not any government) out. That 1% is the big evolution that must be done.
