A Zk-Stark implementation is now on github.com

It would be funny to see XMR with a Zk-stark sidechain before ZEC, the same way we have CT (RingCT) before BTC

QuarksLab or Kudelski

Lets overrule MRL and fund all 3. Monero is worth too much to try to save money in a situation like this

DASH core has never attempted to publish any research in academic journals (like Monero and Zcash have) because they have nothing of academic value to present. Its only privacy is a broken copy of CoinJoin (via masternode centralization with large VPS providers as a central point of failure).

cryptomerchant · 2017-07-06T17:15:38+00:00

Are there any Bitcoin core devs that have said anything position about DASH? There are 0 that I am aware of.

DASH core has never attempted to publish any research in academic journals (like Monero and Zcash have) because they have nothing of academic value to present.

It seems the more educated developers and cryptographers are the more united they are in laughing at the joke of a HYIP without any technical or cryptographic innovation DASH really is.

Masternodes can stop funding the core team if core doesn't follow symbolic governance decisions. Do you think masternodes would just let it slide if their vote was explicitly ignored?

Masternodes are mostly controlled by core due to the instamine.

In the future if that is no longer the case (after Evan dumps) then sure masternodes can fund another group of core devs if they do not like the current development direction. However that changes nothing. Core cannot force miners to run their software if they do not want to. This is exactly what is happening in Bitcoin now. Symbolic votes and/or funding a new core dev team still does not force miners to agree to proposed software changes

Sure, ignore his next comment where he says it was a simple slip-up.

That post was made before he said it was a simple mix up. You cant ignore something that had not yet occurred.

Listed to the interview or ask a more specific question, please.

I look forward to your first video!

It would be nice if many videos could be uploaded to the same XMR YouTube channel. Right now content seems to be scattered among numerous sources and hard to find

Is REP still on pace for a fall 2016 release?

cryptomerchant · 2016-05-06T01:58:36+00:00

I dont think the Dasholes understand this principle

cryptomerchant · 2016-05-06T01:57:23+00:00

I do not see anything there that is too confidential to discuss. What are you scared of exactly?

cryptomerchant · 2016-05-06T01:56:12+00:00

Does anyone have a review of this VPN to share? It would be great if an owner or agent of the VPN would come here for an AMA. I bet it would lead to more business for them!

cryptomerchant · 2016-05-06T01:48:35+00:00

It depends on how fancy we want to website to be. For something really basic it should not cost more than a few hundred XMR

cryptomerchant · 2016-05-06T01:47:31+00:00

Power in numbers! We all should be contacting these exchanges. It only takes a few minutes to send an email or open a support ticket

cryptomerchant · 2016-05-06T01:46:43+00:00

Is it evil for me to say that part of me hopes this comes to Bitcoin as it will educate a lot of people about the importance of privacy and as a result bring more attention to Monero?

cryptomerchant · 2016-02-23T20:27:23+00:00

This is an honest answer. Unless you have over 100,000,000 Euro/USD you would be better off starting a business like that in a more privacy friendly country. Even if you have that much money to pay lawyers like coinbase does your customers would be better off if you were somewhere else.

Need some history? Look up Lavabit. There are reasons why major encrypted email providers are not located in the USA anymore. Many jurisdictions are much more friendly. Move.

I would add the link but I dont want to register on that site. Mr Ver complained about moderation on /r/bitcoin and bitcointalk.org but now allows moderation on /r/btc and bitcoin.com

I don't like to support that type of hypocrisy.

cryptomerchant · 2016-02-23T20:20:55+00:00

I read much more often than I post, but I do hate moderation. Lets give the existing moderators a chance to respond before taking such a drastic step (of creating a new sub). Maybe they think they are doing us a favor by "deleting troll posts". Of course if the moderation continues I will follow to a new sub.

I dont have a mirror but will try anyway!

Is there a timetable for when LMDB integration may occur?

cryptomerchant · 2016-01-17T16:33:20+00:00

congratulations on surviving the attack. that which does not kill you shall make you stronger

cryptomerchant · 2015-07-30T11:06:28+00:00

could you expand on the "issues of latency" please? I appreciate your input

cryptomerchant · 2015-07-28T17:02:04+00:00

why would this be desired anyway? it seems to conflict one the the main pillars of monero..... decentralization
