  • Main topic of new posts: Launch of the BitMonero main network (Mainnet) and discussion of technical aspects of mining and software building after launch.
  • Key news/updates:
  • Mainnet launch took place (January 16, 21:00 UTC) with a verified “fair launch” (genesis nonce linked to Bitcoin’s hash).
  • The network shows hash‑rate growth (reached ~7.98 MH/s).
  • A separate repository for a GUI wallet (BitMonero GUI) was released to combat centralization.
  • Unofficial pools have appeared (e.g., idpool.id) and third‑party tools (explorer).
  • Issues/complaints:
  • Difficulties compiling (building) the source code for Linux users.
  • Lack of a ready‑made solution (wallet and user‑friendly software) for Windows users (they have to build the project themselves).
  • Challenges locating blocks during solo mining due to rapid overall hash‑rate growth.
  • Overall tone: Positive, enthusiastic (community celebrating the launch), but technically challenging for newcomers.
