I can't fathom dumping LTC for a coin with just a few months under its belt that is not even traded on Cryptsy.
My guess is that XMR trades about 80% of its volume on Poloniex. If true, this begs the question why a small(ish) exchange is the one with all the volume?

Why not dump a coin that brings no volume and just costs money for support...makes no sense.
First mover advantage, same reason BTC-E still has a lot of LTC volume.
Who cares about cryptsy, they take months to add non Bitcoin clones and don´t have much volume anymore.
The anonymity thing is rather suspect, too.
I don't use Monero, so I will give it the benefit of the doubt on the client capacities.
However, people with names send money to exchanges who require names and emails. They keep records of trades made. And as far as i know, you can't mine it in secret.
So it's not really anonymous, is it?

All altcoin exchange require are an email... no need to put your normal mail there and thats not an issue at all anyway, i also get cash from the ATM with my atm card registered on my name but can still spend the cash where i want.
I think you simply don´t understand the reason why an online currency should be like cash.
Not sure what u mean you can´t mine it in secret, the pool doesn´t see where the coins go to anyway and no one stops you to mine it through tor or whatever proxy...
Re: Mining
Your IP address is logged, and the authorities could grab that information.
Isn't Tor too slow to mine any coin?
Re: the cash analogy
The same argument applies to all the other cryptocurrencies.
Re: "All altcoin exchanges require are an email"
This is not true, many require documents, or make it so you are almost forced to leave a mobile number or whatever. Increasingly, the bigger exchanges are regulating.
What we mean by cash is that no one can look at the Monero blockchain and see who paid who. This transaction privacy is the main differentiator between Monero and Bitcoin.
This is not the case for bitcoin or any alts derived from the bitcoin codebase. All transactions are publicly viewable. In parallel to the cash analogy for Monero, you can think of using Bitcoin is like credit card transactions that have been recorded and can be reviewed by other people.

This is the guy behind the armstrongeconomics website. In 2006, he pled guilty for committing fraud. You sure you trust his website?

My BCN and MRO deposits are stuck. Could you take a look?
No worries. They showed up just now.
Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - Anonymous Currency Based on Ring Signatures
Okay, one feature we REALLY need in simplewallet is a command history buffer. It doesn't have to be persistent; it can start with an empty buffer every time. Having to retype things kinda sucks. And I automatically press the up arrow and get garbage that I have to erase.
This works fine in windows. It is broken in linux.

Guys, what is the blockheight now?
Trying to figure out how long it'll take until monero is fully synced.

Blockheight is now at 33649. You can download the blockchain as of May 8 in the OP to save time.

Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - Anonymous Currency Based on Ring Signatures
It appears from the simplicity of the fix that there may have been deliberate crippling of the hashing algorithm from introduction with ByteCoin.
Interesting. Could you extrapolate on this?oaes_key_import_data calls are placed inside loops unnecessarily, which slows down the hash quite a bit during the scratchpad portions.
will you be able to compile this for us. the non initiated in computer programming and please post it to OP. thank you taco.
I believe the windows version already has this fix.

Wow, I just saw that. I agree with tacotime, it looks intentional.
Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - Anonymous Currency Based on Ring Signatures
I firmly believe that noodle should not be part of development team.
Like I stated in IRC, I am not part of the "dev team", I never was. Just so happens I took a look at the code and changed some extremely easy to spot "errors". I then decided to release the binary because I thought MRO would benefit from it. I made this decision individually and nobody else should be culpable, especially the community of individuals who have come together to maintain and foster the software.
By the way, I'm not even a real coder, so whatever changes I made should be easy to spot; especially for experienced developers.
Cheers.
Thanks NoodleDoodle! Would it be possible to check in the changes to git? Or give tacotime the list of changes and have him check it in?
Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - Anonymous Currency Based on Ring Signatures
1) How exactly did you benefit the community and the coin?
2) When is the open source miner going to be released? Why it wasn't? Please, provide exact technical details on that "unstable code thing".
3) Why did you change your attitude towards closed-source miner?
4) Why did you take over the coin and create a second thread when there was one already there?
5) Why did you change the domain name and forked the rep, while keeping the blockchain that you never started?
6) Why do you keep avoiding this very clear questions.
1) Community is benefited by not associating (merged mining) with a 80% premined coin called bytecoin. Also coin and algo became more known due to this community which brings more people interested in it and trying to make it better.
2) I dont know about this. I personally dont have a better miner than others. They have already answered you about but i agree that NoodleDoodle could also answer you.
3) Noone changed anything as far as i understand. Someone made one and is using it as it has happened countless times in every single coin out there.
4) Because tft was never responding and chaning anything on the thread. And OP must be refreshing a lot especially at first days of a coin.
5) I suppose because community changed the name of the coin disagreeing with tft about the name. I guess tft could actually stopped this if he wanted if he was ever online responding in anything. As for the blockchain, last time i checked noone owns a blockchain except miners. Not dev.
6) Will you still spam your comments now that i answered?

Thank you! We've got a discussion at last.
1) Thank you for that, but maybe you should stop making closed-source optimized miners and get back to work together with the BMR-part of the community?
2) An exact date is preferrable for everybody.
3) I posted already: first they (smooth, eizh, etc) claim that Minergate is not worth using as it is closed source even though it was not optimized in any way. Now they are ok with the closed source optimized miner. Cards on the table I'd say. This is exactly what makes me believe that you've got something even more optimized hidden and creating this crazy high difficulty.
4) Not true, as I see it. Just check, he's responding almost every single day.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563821.0;all
Maybe little bit busy with the code that the "community" eventually took to enjoy the profit?
smooth, would you be willing to shed light on this story? How and when you decided to act? Why?
5) My point is not in TFT at all. My point is that these actions discredit the BitMonero/Monero. Changing name and taking over control, fine, I'm not against it. But doing it and then launching the closed-source optimized miner to only see the difficulty reach the stratosphere - that is what I find very suspicious.
6) I would like to hear tacotime, smooth, David, NoodleDoodle and who ever else hides behind monero profile. This is the question to them as they are the only who are aware of what is going on.

Ultimately if something is unfair we're free to choose not to participate.
You started this whole thing to make it fair. It's not, so I'm trying to get the "team" explain themselves.
They don't need to explain anything to you. You're making a mountain out of a molehill. The difficulty is crazy but who says you need to mine this coin? You can still buy it in the trading thread.

Nice work!
Cool! Looks great!
Can you update the OP to include the link to the monero.cc website? Looks like it's missing.
Also on the monero.cc website, in the gettting started instructions for Linux, it still says git clone git://github.com/bitmonero-project/bitmonero.git. That should be changed to git clone git://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero.git so that people will get the latest version of the code. Basically, change bitmonero-project to monero-project. That was a subtle gotcha that briefly confused me yesterday.
Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - Anonymous Currency Based on Ring Signatures - CPU only
Can we have the daemon auto-save the blockchain? Maybe every 30 minutes or so.
It does that. I don't know what triggers it though.
My windows computer automatically restarted itself last night for a windows update. The blockchain went back to when I manually saved it 10 hours ago so it doesn't seem to be saving. It only saves when you type "save" or "exit".
Well I see it claiming to do so in the daemon output, but I'm on linux. Maybe that makes a difference, or maybe its not really saving it.
Ok, I checked today and you are right. It does save automatically. I just saw the below message and I didn't type save this time.

Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - Anonymous Currency Based on Ring Signatures - CPU only
I have updated master to 0.8.6.
Are NoodleDoodle's windows enhancements included in this version? Or were the windows improvements due to his windows compiler settings?
Also I have one feature request. Can we have the daemon auto-save the blockchain? Maybe every 30 minutes or so.
Re: [ANN][MRO] Monero - Anonymous Currency Based on Ring Signatures - CPU only
The Windows being faster than Linux should be more publicised. If the contrary was a drawback, this should be beneficial to its image. 
I think the blockchain folder in the OP is incorrect. In Windows, shouldn't it be in appdata/ROAMING/bitmonero ?
Yes but you get there with %appdata% I think the blockchain folder in the OP is incorrect. In Windows, shouldn't it be in appdata/ROAMING/bitmonero ?
you also have to create the bitmonero folder yourself.
The windows path is: %appdata%\bitmonero
It is correct in the OP.
