BlockaFett et. al., you should probably inform your employer that the style you are employing are over-all hurtful towards your cause. It's largely unbefitting and most outsiders can see through it.
You're a Monero investor ...I would say the opposite, Monero core team came here and accused Dash of a "premine" and petitioned CMC to show that which they did. I dispute that any Darkcoins where premined so I just asked the both Monero core devs for their evidence of premine, which I didn't get. So maybe it's Monero who is attacking here (and being hurtful to their cause). I haven't asked CMC to do anything negative with Monero. Just for Monero to justify why Dash, as of today, is a premine, as they claim. And I used to be interested in DRK, so there is that. |

I think the pool should redirect all funds from that address to either to a burn address or the dev fund. And the malware should be copied and setup on a system to monitor the botnet. That's drastic and premature. I concur with what smooth wrote. |

I don't think the GUI is the key. Monero appeals most to extremely intelligent people who also have lots of money (aminorex, ArticMine). This type of guys will be the deciders of the price in the short (1 year) term. The masses come later.
I should refocus to the MiG thing. That is directing to the above segment. Here, my laborious scenario analyses did not receive even one comment. That is indicative that you aren't even interested in Monero here! We need more leaders, and we are bound to get them on board in the coming months.
It's read in silence for most parts, but hugely appreciated. If nothing else, then a mailing-list? |

Its pretty simple - XMR is effectively a single-exchange coin, and on that exchange there is a constant floating buywall way-bigger than any small XMR investors can touch, being moved up and down, with the whales who own it talking about it in the trollbox - the proof is the whale's words themselves Kazuke!  I'm not convinced, you have to proof in one line, besides we all know the buy walls magically appear and no human being is behind them if so they are tampering with mother nature  It's a theory and a speculation of his. Just like any other writing in here. BlockaFett finally actually writes something that's not trolling per se, and a legitimate observation. If someone else where to have written what he just wrote, the sentiment towards the content would have been different. I suggest welcoming his new-found tone a bit more. There's nothing wrong about being concerned that polo is the only legit exchange for Monero. he is a troll, and you are too naive or dumb to see that, he is finding cracks to get in, like a rat. Lay it off, yo. I have stated several times that I assume his (and some other's) behaviour is paid for. I think fluffy/smooths approach to answering are much more productive. They respond with facts and usually level-headedness (sometimes just funny counter-lolz when the trolling gets too ridiculous). And especially, as I see it, for posterity's sake. |

So quite easy to predict the Monero price based on what a few whales are doing and all via Poloniex? That explains why on the price chart there are never any big movements, the whale's buy walls moving up and down are too big for lots of small users. And it suggests XMR distribution is a few mega-whales and lots of small holders, but I haven't seen any stats on what XMR distribution actually looks like?
I'm not necessarily agreeing or disagreeing, but if the part about being "quite easy to predict" where true then you should making a lot of money trading Monero, right? I don't really see a good case that Monero is more influenced by whales than any other coin. They all have their whales. Because I don't know what Warz or whoever is going to decide next. Maybe tomorrow they wake up and want a different coin.. Every time I traded I bought / sold at the worse possible time.. Even with Warz guarantee I would get it wrong...not a trader. I just accumulate what I think will be around in the long term based on what the devs say their long term goals are and whether I believe they will achieve it or not from researching it.My guess is this will turn out as well as your trading, dashboy. Honestly, I would never have guessed you felt like that about Dash Generalize. If I believed the Monero FUD that he's an 'instaminer' who will dump in week 3, but obviously he's still here in week 70 coding new stuff all day like instant transactions and he grew it to be the leading alt so i would have to be pretty new to think that that guy was an insta-dumper. Monero markets would worry me a lot more about people dumping and running off than the dash team...just sayin...poloniex situation isn't healthy...needs fixing Blocka when this sham comes falling around you, just remember you were warned. I'm not even going to laugh or pull a "I told you so." That thing has scam written all over it, and in hindsight, you'll get what some from Monero, and others, have been saying. You've been told--it's the people who haven't or don't realize how dash got its start that I'm going to make sure see it for what it is. 500k in an hour will never be a "instamine," it will always be an instamine not quotation marks required. Regardless of his affiliations, I concur with him that the Darkcoin team likely never is going to dump. Why'd they ever do that? Slowly seeping is another thing entirely. Other big holders might though, and some have already done so recently. |

Could the bears be so kind as to get it over with? be hairy and manly, this creeping downwards is bloody boring!
They want to dump the coins without crashing the price. Exactly. There is a pressure to sell the coins right now. Note: I am not a buyer since the situation looks pretty ugly and still the general sentiment is pretty positive. I sold above 0.003 so if I buy back in even now I would make nice profit. What got me to sell was the fact that I was asking the community to support 0.004 (you can see this from my post history) and I got answears from the people who like to troll me that "no we are not going to support that price" so I simply drew my conclusion "fine - why should I hold a coin that is not supported at that price since most likely it comes down" and I was right this time. It is coming down like a rock but apparently there are still people holding the coins and they are just looking for exit... However, the longer they waite, the lower their exit will be. The fact that most likely Monero fails means that most likely it fails... I think people do not get this well. If Monero fails, it means the investors lose pretty much their investment. You're funny with your word salad. All your strong hodl coins that would never be sold for..what was it again?  |

Like I said, the claim here is Monero is going to change the world and a profound new technology etc.
No, the claim is that cryptonote was and is first truly and usefully cryptocurrency innovation after Bitcoin. Monero is the name for the credible open and public project that is developing cryptonote technology. You are also investing time in Dashcoin Smooth, are you saying that isn't a credible and open project? And if it is, then how can Monero be the only credible cryptonote coin? Also then tomorrow I can clone Bytecoin and do a fair launch and I have the same innovation as Monero and Dashcoin or what's the difference? .....How does this change the world??? I keep wondering how one gets a job like this. In any case, just know that the replies you are getting are for posterity's sake. Nothing else. |

Hey risto. At what price are we having the party at your house? Also, am I invited?
Grand Malla Bitcoin Ball (intercontinental bitcoin event) is there in June. There are no commitments to have a XMR event yet - what would you like?  What about an invitation where we don't know who sent it and to whom it was delivered, and the actual message of the invite?  |

I never want to see this happen. Living in NSA America is bad enough. Liberty and Privacy first. If one is using propriety DRM infected, locked down, systems it will happen. if one is not then it will not happen. The biggest threat to freedom coming out of the USA is not the NSA, it is the MPAA and any organization that uses DRM to "protect" its "premium" content. Understanding the real threat is the first step to dealing with it. A very good of thumb. If your device supports DRM at the operating system level in any way then any and all information on said device is accessible to the NSA. Edit: Android is a perfect example. If one roots the device, a must to protect one's Liberty and Privacy, then the DRM on the device no longer "protects" the content providers. One simply cannot expect a computer or device to have two masters. The choice is DRM or Liberty and Privacy but not both. DRM can never protect content. The content needs to be viewed, therefore all methods required to remove DRM exist on the device. There is nothing anyone can do to fix this - the idea of DRM is a dream. How will the US deal with "privacy" companies based in other countries if they go through with this? Ban all encryption software from other countries? And how will this be enforced? Doesn't really seem possible to me. Their goal isn't to seal all possible methods of copying; their goal is to make it enough of a pain in the ass so that most people won't do it. And it works quite the contrary. They are making it more of a pain to actually use a genuinely bought/rented product. I bought a CD years ago which was DRM protected. It wouldn't play on several of my devices..In particular my stereo. Geeh.. Thanks! Then you want to watch a rented movie from the video-store (making sure it's the right country code of course) and the first 15 minutes are filled with "don't copy this" warnings which you can't fast forward.  At one point it becomes much more inconvenient to use media the old way (already has for many years). And it will become more inconvenient to use the regular fiat-system than crypto-currency in the near future. And it will at some point become more inconvenient to use government proprietary means of communicating (as to obey their anti-human snoopy tendencies). |

yeah but with list blacklist we're forgetting the point ENTIRELY of cryptocurrencies - a trustless financial network. You introduce a blacklist and once again you're beholden to the whims and "wisdom" of some higher authority, and you must trust this authority to make these blacklists. The first blacklist is the death knell of bitcoin. "Oh, my money could all of a sudden become unusable? No thanks"
Black lists could also be market driven. |

is fungibility of ALL bitcoins really important though?
Consider that you own 50,000 bitcoins. If 1,000,000 bitcoins were found to be in the hands of ISIS, and blacklisted, what would that do to your bitcoins? Well, how would that be different, from 1,000,000 bitcoins that are simply lost forever? That some bitcoins are no longer fungible/available doesn't harm your coins in any way. In fact, it would benefit you, since the less coins in existence, the more valuable your coins are.
The only thing would be if blacklisting of coins is backtracked (dunno the term so I invented one). What I mean is, say you did business with a company, and your coins are connected to their addresses. That company then proceeds to scam people and engage in terrorist activity say a year later.
In such cases, I think that there would be laws that would prevent your coins from being blacklisted. It shouldn't be difficult to see that your coins were obtained before the time they engaged in illegal activities, or at least before the public was aware that they were engaged in illegal activities. In such cases, I would think that there would be laws preventing those coins from being blacklisted.
So unless you are planning to do something illegal yourself, other people's coins being not fungible doesn't harm your coins. It makes yours more valuable.
Because it will be YOUR bitcoins one day that will be blacklisted. If you don't protect the fungibility of all coins - YOURS will eventually come under scrutiny. Why? Because of "association", because who ever paid you had 'bad' coins, because you donated to some political cause, or because police required them to be under civil forfeiture, because someone challenged you (unrightfully) in court, because you are *insert whichever race randomly unpopular at the time*. Political persecution IS A REAL thing, even (and very much so) in the Land of the Free. (here's a contemporary example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRS_targeting_controversy) Laws and societies change. Sometimes for worse, and it seems we are head-first into one of those worse periods these days and years. |

It very much looks like that the 40k XMR support is real.
Though we have tried 280 price so many times that it is about time for it to fall, I am still uncertain if it will happen now or not. At least that 40k someone needs to sell first.
If we turn up now, it is a tremendous show of force and a buy signal (provided that you can buy at a reasonable price, let's say <330). If we turn down, I have the intuition that the immediate collapse to 180 that everyone hopes might not be happening. There are support levels in between. It's just that in the very big picture, the price has clearly liked <200 and >300 more than the area in between.
The reason why I write so little here is that the important things don't change that quickly. Monero is still very undervalued even at 0.01. Tbh even 1000x the current price is not near the potential of the currency and does not allow its full utility. The adoption of a cryptocurrency has strong positive feedback loops that can surprise everyone.
The bolded part is important, and what people miss. In regards to btc and in regards to all other coins. I question the people claiming price stability around these levels (btc or xmr) and still claiming "utility". Not many serious in size financial transactions can be made today. |

it happened to Hal Finney, so this is certainly real

I just wanted to know if the effort is/was worth it?
I think any effort in this space is worth it - but the ones that really determine the value are the individuals you're setting it up for >> We could provide a venue for people where they could either "donate" a node, just by signing up and transferring the funds. At the same time we could put a minimum donation amount required. gotcha. You could even just setup a server with a single instance of bitmonerod, and people could either ssh into the server and run their own instance of simplewallet, or they could remote into that node using MoneroX. in general though I'm not a fan of doing cryptocurrency stuff on servers. Doesn't jive with the whole decentralization piece of the puzzle for me... but thats just me. I'm not particular interested in running a server like that, because those people capable of using that would likely also be capable (both in knowledge and resources/spirit to do so) would set up their own thing anyway. This was more aiming for those of lesser tech savvy and/or those who don't have the time/don't get stuff done because of whatever hurdles. This would remove those quite few of those hurdles. It could be set up with several choices. Node or full node with GPU miner, length of subscription, number of nodes/GPU miners, etc. |

opennux, I believe that your service is worth trying. I am wiling to help you in any way that I can.
Thanks. I will send you a PM soon, and others are welcome to PM too. I will expand on the idea in the PM. |

What's the best way to help out the network? Full node? On Raspberry? VPS? Other system? What's cheapest?
I was thinking about doing a community service of setting up nodes for people. People would pay the full cost of the affiliate link of InterServer.net for a specified time. (It's <6$ monthly).
On top I would charge a yet unspecified amount (something like 5-10 xmr) which would in full be donated to the core team development fund.
Thoughts?
Probably the best way to strengthen the network would be to provide content on: http://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/user-guides/and here: http://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/developer-guides/the logic being that this information, nicely compiled on getmonero.org, will attract and instruct any interested person. This adoption leads to the network being helped out. My crusade is still network hash strength. So, in that sense, a full node would be great. But even greater would be an easy way to set up a full node using a GPU miner. I know its doable, but I haven't had the full weekend of time to devote to tinkering with it. "setting up nodes for people" - who is your target audience? If they are people in cryptoworld, thats good, because they can probably update their node at some point. If its just general people, you'll have to maintain their node for them (specifically for the hardfork eventually coming up at some point). About the latter part, setting up for people. Several people have been holding back with "investing" in xmr because "no GUI". Some hold on exchanges (and now there's mymonero etc.). So even though we are first movers, and tech savvy compared to the rest of the population, many people in the space are still not tech savvy enough. I suspect it's a hurdle for many people. We could provide a venue for people where they could either "donate" a node, just by signing up and transferring the funds. At the same time we could put a minimum donation amount required.
