For those of you new to all this, just a reminder... #Bitcoin #Ethereum #Dogecoin etc. Be safe out there. youtube.com/watch?v=rytbTT…

@zooko @BenDiFrancesco If you need a guy to lead up some new Alliances, @fluffypony is your man!

I really mean this: every software engineer worth their salt should drop everything else and come work in crypto. The upside is enormous. There is almost no downside. If crypto disappears you're still a developer, i.e. HIGHLY employable by almost every company on the planet.

@Frances_Coppola OTOH, you don't need the PIN to use the seed... So if the seed is stolen, goodbye coins.

@Frances_Coppola If your hardware wallet is stolen, hopefully you've used a PIN to encrypt it and that buys you some time to transfer your coins out of the wallet using your recovery seed. But you don't need the seed to use the hardware wallet... Just the PIN.

A few people have pointed out that this isn't strictly true. You can also lose all your money from a hardware wallet if your mnemonics are stolen. But it is more complicated for thieves than accessing an online wallet.

@owocki Real, imaginary(, and complex)

oh so you’re a numbers guy huh? name all the numbers

@binaryFate @brucewagner @fluffypony At least we know what we should name the next piece of Monero software infrastructure.

@brucewagner @fluffypony I'd like a bit of your acceleration thing thank you

Fine @brucewagner, I’ll bite. Show me how much I sent, to whom, which output was actually spent, and the IP address the tx was sent from. I’ll wait. txid: aae87c5bae9a7cbd615c47e91280a6171a5b19d5e46e720d9995954a7aef7996

damn @fluffypony really murdered someone in broad daylight just like that... i heard he got homicide looking all over for him now

@zooko I tracked this down further to its source and found that a "payment" is any non-zero tx output.

cybercoins which have 1. market cap ≥ $1 bn 2. real volume ≥ $100m / day 3. transaction volume ≥ $100m / day 4. payments ≥ 10,000 / day along with the six metrics that I think are most important

@the__misfit Ahh sorry, just realized you asked for *good* vocals lol

@MoneroMonitor “SEC is tryna fine me for my IPO scam and the IRS tax law man I don’t give a damn…”🎶🤣💀

if anyone has good vocal covers please send. my ears want to hear human singing voices today thank you!!

@CameronRuggles @bitinfocharts Yeah, I tagged them so maybe they'd steal the idea ;)

@MoneroMonitor @bitinfocharts Doesn't seem to be but they should

CoinMarketCap but for number of nodes reachable within 24 hours. Does such a thing exist? Would look radically different, maybe even with XMR at the top, followed by bitcoin. XMR: 11547 BTC: 10491 Any crypto with more? What's in 3rd place?

@john_r365 @cankerwort_ The shorter the block interval (2 mins for XMR) the bigger advantage even a few seconds gives. 6 seconds is a ~5% advantage (simplified example)

@john_r365 @cankerwort_ All other miners will need to verify the block before mining on top of it. So if the miner packs their block, that adds extra txs for the competition to verify before they can mine. Which means the miner has a few extra seconds head start.

@john_r365 @cankerwort_ Arguably, there is a very small fee that a miner should require, such that the added time/cost/risk to them for including that tx in the block is covered. This is super miniscule though, and the anti-spam "minimum fee to relay" setting more than covers that

@cankerwort_ @john_r365 Tend to agree fees should be a bit higher, maybe ~5¢? However, fees aren't really a consensus thing right now. The core implementation won't relay txs with fees below a certain level, but miners can mine any tx they want. If blocks aren't at the min adj cap level, it's kinda moot

@john_r365 @MoneroMonitor Personally, I think fees need to be increased by at least an order of magnitude to reduce the risk of chain bloat by a bad actor and to encourage development of something like this. Is it controversial to say fees are TOO cheap?
