If I have the resources to make XMR price go up, and the intention to (commit actions that will lead to) do so, I can officially make any announcement I feel right. Until now I haven't even taken advantage of low price myself, due to a self-imposed 24 hour delay from the announcement to action.

To the moon!

You could have waited a couple more days to get the payment for the sig campaign and double my XMR "stash". *sigh*
However, if this will indeed go to the moon, then ... let's do it!

Invest in some gambling site.
Diversify - get some promising altcoins, maybe in 2-5 years you'll be richer than with only BTC.

Interesting article but still don't understand why they couldn't just call it BTC like everyone else.

GOLD shouldn't that be GLD and not XAU
SILVER shouldn't that be SLV and not XAG

What drugs are these people in the office in Zuirch smoking?

Cheesy  

Lol!
Not everybody speaks English. AU and AG are the symbols used in chemistry for gold and silver.
Some altcoins follow the standards and their ticker is already 3chr starting with X. Bitcoin should do that too.

2. (where 1 is not possible) Use wallets like xapo. Some faucets even offer bonus for xapo wallets. However, transfers from xapo seem to be with no fee. Then you can transfer bigger chunks to your main wallet.

Okay but not a good thing to move the coins to an address which you don't have the private key of.

   -MZ

Agreed. But on small amounts, until they reach the "not dust" state, it's OK.
At that point, obviously, they have to go to your main wallet on your computer.

I am asking forum moderators to change the maximum lenght for the Hero and Legendary Members signature.

With the new forum software (hopefully) almost ready, I think that this will .... be put on "hold".

What do you mean by "put on hold"? So far as I know signatures are going to stay.

If this is a change .. a little deeper than just a config value, I guess that nobody will search and change.
Instead, you may have to make another such request for the new interface, when that will be ready.

Shame that I'll miss the start, but I may mine this if it's indeed CPU only.

I like the current pools in the OP  Grin

< 0.14$ is reasonable in my mind for the forced mixing of 3 at POL. which increases every ones anonymity.  And for the people who will say that they shouldn't be forced to make anonymous transactions if they don't want to all I can say is that Monero is a anonymous and private currency, it was always mean to be.  There are hundreds of other coins which don't offer this feature set and transactions are free or the fee is smaller such as DOGE, etc. use those.

You look at the problem from the wrong side, imho.
While other exchanges use 0.1-like fees, this fee doesn't actually help Poloniex either.
15951  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do if you wanted to stop Bitcoin? on: February 20, 2015, 11:49:20 AM
I would argue thats simply not possible however many times we are all told the Price of Bitcoin has tanked I won't believe it. Look at a logarithmic chart of Bitcoin, after such a massive rise all it has done has paused slightly. Once bitten by Bitcoin do you personally think you can leave it alone completely?

How many of us are actually "bitten by Bitcoin"? 100000? 500000? That's too small number to actually count for the banks.

Damn! TX Fee: 0.5 XMR  on poloniex.

Can some dev talk to them to lower the fee?

WTF? A < $0.14 fee for a transaction? Are you only buying one? They have to make a profit from their service dude. They are being more than fair.

Actually I see 0.2 XMR fee and I find it quite big too. It was 0.1 for long time and I see no reason for increase.
When I do mine, I get less than 0.1 XMR / day.

They also get 0.2% per transaction, so I don't think that they are that poor. I start having a feeling that they actually have some reasons to want us (the small holders) keep the XMR in their exchange instead of our wallets...

Got something against Estonia?

Omg no! Just .. imagine you have a castle and a guy comes to your door and tells "hey! i'm user38913 from the forums, can we go inside for a beer? ah, and a party?".

Monero's 1 year birthday is approaching on April 18, 2015. How do you guys want to celebrate?

Party at the castle.

I'll be bringing a box of Cohiba torpedo's, been waiting for a special occasion to open it...  So, where's the castle at ? Smiley

A google search for "bitcoin castle" will show you quite well where's that, just.. you may need an invitation to actually get in there  Grin
15955  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: What would you do if you wanted to stop Bitcoin? on: February 20, 2015, 11:26:44 AM
I would buy slowly huge amounts of BTC then dump them to make the price fall.
Then do that again.
And again..

..until 90% of the people here will give up.


Yeah, it would cost some money. But banks' smallest problem.



problem is it hits the symptoms not the cause. I would say government dumping of conficated Bitcoin is already trying to do this, but its life pushing a beachball under water it will only pop back up. I guess those in power could simply buy most Bitcoin and buy holding they become the new power rich. But I think banks want to be able to create inflation, simply being the richest isn't enough. But it could become a default and last resort that they simply  decide if you cant beat them join them. But I think they would want to be creating some kind of Bitcoin deriverative that they control.

As long as bitcoin value price is on decreasing trend, people are in fear. And fear makes adoption .. not really happen.
If people will not trust bitcoin, but they like the technology, the banks may make their own regulated, centralized, safe, "backed up with their money" currencies.
This would be the second step.

15957  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: How can I get rid of dust in my wallet? on: February 20, 2015, 10:36:19 AM
I use a lot of faucets and accumulate a lot of dust. This supposedly increase my transaction fees. Can someone explain in detail, how I can get rid of all this, with the least amount of increased transaction fees?

I use blockchain for the faucet stuff.

Options for the future:
1. (Not easy) Use faucets that let you withdraw when you want to. Then withdraw only when you reach .. bigger amounts there.
2. (where 1 is not possible) Use wallets like xapo. Some faucets even offer bonus for xapo wallets. However, transfers from xapo seem to be with no fee. Then you can transfer bigger chunks to your main wallet.
15958  Other / Meta / Re: Warning: Trade with extreme caution!Why? on: February 20, 2015, 09:37:18 AM
Because the trust system is far from perfect and can be abused.
And because there's freedom of speech: you can talk with him, but you better be very-very careful if you try to do business with him.
15959  Economy / Speculation / Re: For people still in denial about willy on: February 20, 2015, 09:31:19 AM
Correlation is not causation. It could just as easily be argued that it was the rise in price that caused willybot to activate.

But correlation and a red flag could usually prevent such problems to rise.
And yeah, I may be wrong. If I would be smart enough for this, I could try to do myself what I proposed Smiley
15960  Economy / Speculation / Re: For people still in denial about willy on: February 20, 2015, 08:55:25 AM
A chart says more than thousand words:
from: http://blog.wizsec.jp/2015/02/mtgox-investigation-release.html



And what stops some smart guys to make the charts in a way that counts?
If some "areas" of the chart can be suspected - for any exchange - to inflate/deflate the price only playing with no money or rotating the same money, then the chart will show an alarm too.
Of course, we need some smart guys for that.

(And then their site will surely get enough traffic to cover the expenses for the time and effort on this.)
