Monero codebase in pull request #1744. It is kept secret to prevent it being used to attack other CryptoNote coins.'
a111: Logged on 2014-10-02 21:28 mircea_popescu: davidlatapie i have nfi idea what
monero is because in spite of being invited fluffypony doesn't want to give the group a presentation. the comment is just as to the improbable nature of the name. why mew and what's someone not in on the jokes to make of it.

monero idea here once it reaches some sort of maturity or do you just plan to wait indefinitely for b-a to figure it out ?
ben_vulpes: holy crap
monero still undebunked in mainstream usg press

☟︎ weevlos: it pays me a couple thousand dollars worth of
monero per month
mats: countless mentions to that and
monero in every hn thread about bitcoin - more privacy! anon by default! diversify your holdings! *waves hands*
BingoBoingo: asciilifeform: It was the fluffypony
monero guy, he's introduced in a Trilema. 2013-ish if I remember
ppsk: what do you think about
monero?
p0nziph0ne: i read "when you care about privacy have a look at
monero" in linux reddit

monero blockchain integrity scan' reproducible?" in favor of "we had to keep it secret because other cryptonotes were vulnerable"

☟︎ shinohai: "Does Eulora accept
Monero?" lmfao
mircea_popescu: shinohai so basically this is the
monero unraveling / going away party or what.

Framedragger: so to construct a counterargument, i'd have to dig into what particular 'novel' stuff monerolink is claiming, and what particular vulns were discussed by
monero project prior to this stuff. i can't be bothered, though - just don't care about
monero that much - does that mean that i now have to default to "all shit is stolen from #t!"
Framedragger: (it's possibly they did not acknowledge prior research on
monero, done by
monero itself. that's true. also, ipfs project plagiarised the above just ~now. that's also true.)
mircea_popescu: why, there's other venues discussing the problems with
monero ?
Framedragger: re.
http://btcbase.org/log/2017-04-15#1644022 -- i don't really see where the plagiarism is. honest. the title ("collider")? the content (research had been done by
monero project itself some time ago; *plenty* of discussion of RingCT outside #t (unless you define "discussion outside #t is not discussion", in which case you are right..tautologically))?
☝︎ BingoBoingo: * asciilifeform idly wonders if prb is infested, yet, with automakeism <<
Monero is!
Framedragger: heh, i've considered contributing to
monero as per fluffypony's suggestion, they have some kind of open sores bounty program, too. but yes the whole ring signature thing etc - too 'mysterious'
mircea_popescu: placing self on (
monero, solidcoin) continuum takes being ustardian.
shinohai: Sign needs qr and "
Monero accepted" at the bottom
shinohai: fluffypony was guest speaker and got
monero to sponsor the hot pockets for lunch
mircea_popescu: anyway, the allegation is that the "privacy" offered is very heavily time bound ; that it naturally dissipates over time ; and that after a sufficient interval - say a year - one can rely on any and all transaction being no longer at all private. this means that the
monero ring signature is in fact an anti-feature : it makes the superficial user (who either foolishly doesn't invest the time ; or otherwise lacks the capacity a
Bugpowder: In turn,
Monero has potential to fix a weak point in DNM function, which potentially provides significant value. Now, whether the tech geniuses that order on DNMs or vendors have the savvy to implement properly and with enough volume to make economic sense is another matter.
shinohai: As asciilifeform says, I see nothing in
monero even worth stealing
Bugpowder: Is trilema consensus that
monero has some potential value in its feature set?
Bugpowder: its been a good week. why not qntra article on how
monero is not the one true bitcoin yet?
davout: the problem i have with
monero is the bloat and uncapped block size, not really the crypto itself
davout: i remember already reading this
monero thread actually
BingoBoingo: <phf> i think crystal whatever is particularly nasty take on autoconf, probably one of the best examples in support of asciilifeform's rants. << Nah, "
Monero" is far worse because of what it supposes to be.
mircea_popescu: asciilifeform the best part of that article is random derp frothing about how "
monero'd have made it impossible for egypt to be a shithole"
mircea_popescu: fluffypony is this some sort of dig at
monero or something ?
assbot: Logged on 22-05-2014 17:00:58; asciilifeform: re: '
monero': 'Egalitarian proof of work' << do we need to read past this line ?
punkman: does
monero solve the miner-can-block-my-tx with its ring signatures? (ping fluffypony)
copypaste: I have a friend who is now working for fluffypony and
Monero on adding I2P to that coin (perhaps the work is already finished)
BingoBoingo: jurov: Luke seems to be mocking that ClassicCoin wants to take the
Monero approach and add reddit voting or some shit
jurov: lol do i see right? luke wants to adopt
monero approach?
fluffypony: copypaste: b) applies to
Monero, and has applied to
Monero for the past 20 months, so there's that
fluffypony: let's be fair, though, the chances of
Monero ever becoming the largest cryptocurrency is about the same as the chances of mircea_popescu secretly being a woman all along
mircea_popescu: and so if somehow
monero became the one, it would simply be the one.
mircea_popescu: more properly put : what happens if someone actually takes
monero seriously, and decides to disallow your future forks.
adlai: fluffypony: let's say btc fails and
monero by some accident becomes The Blockchain. do you think the biannual hardfork policy would remain?
adlai: at least
monero doesn't have the implementation plurality braindamage
mircea_popescu reviewed them in 2012. the answer was, come to think of it, very much like
monero's. (oh hurr durr we're visionarily important and lalaal). so i decided to give them all the time they could possibly need to figure shit out and well...
davout: he's also with fluffypony in
monero HeySteve: busy touring exotic destinations from what I saw in r/
monero!
HeySteve: fluffypony, how are things going your side, and with
Monero?

BingoBoingo: mircea_popescu: Now that
monero is off the table, may have time for that. Just trying to shave a few unecessary bytes here and there out of the Qntra
mircea_popescu: Every 6 months, either on March 15 + September 15 or on April 15 + October 15, the
Monero network will have a hard fork. 30 days before the fork we will have a code freeze + tag + release, and if there are no major changes we'll have an increase in the protocol version (ie. that's at a minimum). A similar fork system to Bitcoin will apply, whereby a rollover to the new code after the trigger block will only occur if a
