Hi, this is my first time trying to buy monero for an investment.  I just wonder if this is right because I'm only in kraken.
I tried generating and XMR wallet and it looks like this:

is this right?

Sometimes you can be such a Troll...  so, it's obvious you are long Darsh and shorting Monero... I know you can't actually believe that some sort of Masternode scheme would be a good thing for Monero, so you have to be talking your book.  I know this is your standard way of operating but, please be advised that people see through you!

Who is the victim of the scam? And what about the monero crippled miner launch? Scam aswell ?

This chart stops on January 10.

Isn't there any up to date chart of number of transactions/day?

!#@#$@ bots, took forever to get a buy dumped into. Someones setting up to make a move.

Well, i have to confess i do like the current numbers better :




* this is with xBTCe volume excluded, which means the actual total Dash volume is even higher but impossible to tell how high exactly.

Thank you for bringing this up DaveyJones, i appreciate it.

Due to coinmarketcap excluding the volume of xBTCe recentely (coinmarketcap seem to exclude any exchange that uses no trading fees/other, even volume from important chinese exchanges
like Huobi, BTCC and OKCoin gets excluded), the overal volume of Dash on coinmarketcap has been adjusted downwards to :



Personally i think this will give an inaccurate overview of the volume both of Bitcoin and altcoins in general on coinmarketcap.
  
  

Don't feed.....and so on (;-)

Your coin must not be very good if you have to pay exchanges to list it.

A great 'killer' Monero app would be a centralized web wallet/mobile app that allows you to send XMR to any email address or phone number, whether they have a wallet setup or not. The recipient would get a notification that they received a payment, and can simply login from that device or email to claim it. Easy peasy.

It's basically a cryptocurrency version of Paypal/Venmo. Centralized, yes, but a dead easy way for people to get their feet wet and send some XMR to friends who wouldn't otherwise be inclined to learn about it. I don't know a lot of people who would turn down money, even if it's the magical internet type.

Better look at coins with a small market cap, Nav will do great next 2 months. If monero drop a lot might buy some now i rather wanna sit out.

Es ist halt schon eigenartig, wie der Preis nach einer fundamental negativen Nachricht, die meines Erachtens früher immer zu einem größeren Rücksetzer (20-30%) geführt hätte, so schnell wieder zurückkommt. Ich beziehe mich jetzt vor allem auf die letzten 3 Tage.

Außer dem ETF sieht es nämlich fundamental ohne Einigung in der Blocksizedebatte gar nicht gut aus. Da kam mir der Gedanke mit dieser "Doppelspekulation" (kaufen pro ETF, shorten bei Bitmex gegen den ETF).

Aber wie du schon sagtest - persönliche Meinung

Thought provoking and in parts it rings uncomfortably true. I have family members who are of the smart phone generation who I hold Monero for - as they understand they should be getting in, but are just confused by the tech so much.

I also am ashamed to admit I cannot even make the GUI work on my mac.  It only runs if I use a remote node, I can't make the daemon work and I feel an idiot when I go onto git hub and people just suggest fixes and lines on code to run in the CLI, which I struggle to understand. If it's that hard for me (and I have been in crypto since 2012 and on here regularly since 2013) then we have a long way to go for 'general' adoption.

I love Monero and I do 'get' it, but crypto generally is complicated and it is utterly pointless me trying to explain to even my smarter relatives about seed words, private keys, cold wallets, view keys and blockchain tech.  For most, it's hard enough to get to work and get by without having to take in all this other stuff and get involved in this whole new world, when it does have risks if you are the sort of person who struggles to remember all your pin numbers and have often forgotten an online password.

I have constant issues working across borders at work with money transfers.  It's too expensive and takes too long.  But suggesting to recipients I pay, or receive in crypto if they are not already involved is still very hard. They get Paypal, but I can't suggest Monero or even Bitcoin.

We do needs apps and technical solutions that look simple and just work and do useful things simply without the need for jumping through so many complicated and scary hoops. I still find I rarely can pay in BTC, and I have yet to buy anything directly in Monero.

It will come, but we are not there yet.  

If the community will not get there, third parties will and the bad actor risk will always be there and spoil it - which is not what we want.  

OK, I am done with this pussyfooting crap ...

Nope, I am saying that this is not the whole story, lacks context and is basically a 'hit piece' on Jaxx that avoids mentioning the fact that Fluffy, who everyone expected to get it right (so he didn't have to announce anything, it was simply assumed it would be done right), royally fucked it up too and happened to be advising them. And is still advertising the site as 'The Simplest way to use Monero' with a warning banner that may or may not appear in your browser (just clicked there now and it did not), and arguably caused more short term damage to Monero's credibility than Jaxx did, and is still accepting new deposits from people, some of whom end up over on reddit asking for help to access their Monero from the site that is still borked. He has subsequently admitted his mistake, as have Jaxx, and I am saying 'Drop it, move on, the people that needed to learn have learnt and nobody needs to be crucified here'. Get it ??

And this crap about Jaxx bringing it on themselves - sure, they fked up with that reddit converstaion when they struggled at the start, but it is clear that people more involved than you or I were able to move past this and continue assisting, yet most people here still cant see past that initial interaction and use it as a blinkered excuse to vent. Thank god you do not play a more senior role in this project or your grudges would bring it to its knees.

So you poked me enough to speak out for you. Well done, how courageous ... I hope you are happy now. Do you feel like you won something?

@ DaveyJones ... they paused the integration AFTER RingCT, when the issues unforeseen by them and fluffy, came to light ... MyMonero is still acting like it's the go-to place to use monero ... where is the balance in peoples sight here?

Apologies to fluffy here, but I think it is wrong for certain members of the community to be shouting at someone outside whilst not looking inside too, and the accusation that I am the one with blinkers on here is ridiculous. People are simply too weak to speak about the other side of the story and risk offending you after all you have done, and continue to do. Personally, i think you have enough self-awareness and a thick enough skin to deal with it, and value truth, and Monero's future, over unspoken ass-kissing.

If we are not able to cast critical eyes inwards aswell as outwards there is no hope. Monero deserves better than that.

Why are people lending XMR on Poloniex so cheaply? There is definitely demand for a lot of coins. 0.5 seems reasonable to me :-)

Thanks for letting me know you have the copyright on 'reality', I will try not to infringe  upon it

Ciao bella

EDIT: Look Smoothie, I've no beef with you or anyone else in this community (yet!), hence this edit, but I do see selective vision on this Jaxx thing from many, and a refusal to talk about other aspects due to loyalty. That's understandable, but it is not representative of the whole picture, and I really dont want to go to that place either as it's not necessary. Mistakes have been made, and will be made again. We should simply regroup and move on - the future for Monero has not changed throughout any of this - it is very very bright and we should be looking forwards not backwards  

Hi

Sorry to ask again, but is there a technical limitation relative to the possibility to generate on-demand a new random receiving address for a same wallet, please ?

Like Bitcoin Armory wallet does it automatically when clicking on button Receive Bitcoins of a specific wallet, for example.

For a privacy/anonymous centric cryptocurrency, I think it's a very important and useful feature.

Don't want to copy-paste always the same unique Monero address everywhere on the web, chat, emails... linked to my identity or multiple identities.

You understand what I mean ? Or am I wrong somewhere ?

I once read that the GUI wallet has a plugin system allowing third party possible plugins, is it still correct ?

Thank you :-)
