The Last Man on Earth, check it out.
I like this show, the show is unique and creative. But the director needs to give Phil (tandy)  some good time too sometimes not 100% bad luck. But it's not bad luck. Every single time without exception when he gets himself into a bad situation its because of his own bad choices. He deserves every single thing that happens to him. Sure its bad luck that the ladder fell but he was up on that sign doing something terrable. Sure its bad luck that he happened to run into the others on the way to the hot springs, but he was in the middle of doing something terrible. Its the only reason i can watch the show. If it weren't the case my empathy reflex would kick in and i would have to turn it off. If they give him a break than they will also have to make him a better person, and if they do that than they ruin the show. |

I hate to say this but sub 0.001 is now a possibility.
0.000 is a possibility. so what. no risk no reward. |

A gallon of gasoline weighs 6 lbs but emits 21 lbs worth of co2 when burned? Is that real? Man I should study chemistry again if it is.
Well, for example: 2 C 10H 22 + 31 O 2 = 20 CO 2 + 22 H 2O The CO 2 is about 3 times as heavy as the fuel That's god damn amazing. How can you take a molecule and break it into its constituent parts and get something heavier than the input? I wasnt joking. If i ever get the chance i really am going to go back to chemistry. |

A genuine skeptic. A pleasure to meet you. likewise  |

Silly guy is just bumping our thread over and over.  |

...
These specific commits: - new daemonize mode - background forking on Unix-like operating systems - backgrounding on Windows via services - QoS (bandwidth control) on both up and down links - fallback blockchain storage in LMDB's vl32 experimental branch - alternate blockchain storage in Berkeley DB - DNSSEC root keys - DNSSEC verification for MoneroPulse (distributed checkpointing) - DNSSEC verification for OpenAlias resolution - base support for Dr. Monero (performance analysis tool) - new logging system, based on the same core subsystem as OpenTransactions - gtest updated - libunbound updated - 32-bit fixes - ARM fixes Hi, sorry I don't get the actual use of all these features.. I am trying to ascertain, what are the *real world* benefits to users of this? For example Dash recently implemented instant transactions, example of real world use is: "Let users buy stuff at same speed as credit card without waiting 15 minutes" - sorry to mention Dash, but I am trying to understand Monero innovation in these terms. And quantify that against other Cryptonote coins in the market? Is this possible? Thats just the thing. You really hit on an important point without realizing it. You hinted at the way in which dash and monero are fundamentally different. Our project is not about attracting investors. It's about building something for posterity, something that will change the world and its a long term vision. Since its not about quick profits, our devs focus on a solid foundation first and foremost. Dash on the other hand is all about putting the hawtest makeup on a pig so that it can be flipped for quick profits. I can guarantee you that dash will come and go, likewise there is a pretty good chance that monero will come and go. But monero's code base will live on. Its ideas will live on. Nothing of dash will remain beyond its current iteration except maybe an obscure footnote in history. |

Ill grant you something dreamspark. The capacity to absorb a given level of inflation is a really great way to think about valuation. Its something of a much needed anchor point in a world where nothing is really real. I love crypto, it is many things, but real isn't one of them.

this is not ethical behavior.
It is absolutely ethical to attempt to save people from being scammed. I don't know how you could honestly conclude otherwise. |

The thing with XMR is as I said previously for a speculator there isn't that much upside. The chances of the price x5 and staying there while inflation is at the level it is is very small. In the long distance future there is the potential for large gains but its not like its going to happen overnight and you miss the train. Face it, hardly any alts are actually used there is a very high probability that by the time XMR reaches the level where serious gains are likely there very may well be a better crypto that suits the same niche with quicker development etc etc. People speak like this coin can't die but that depends on what you mean by dead. Will its trading volume go to 0? Unlikely. Will the price slide and the general interest around the coin die out. Much much more likely. Its very hard to find a reason to load the boat up now, much better to watch from the sidelines, the risk reward just isn't there.
It's one of a tiny minority of projects that actually has merit and utility. As such it deserves the capitalization that is currently held by all the scams and clones. Maybe that wont happen, but since it ought to, there is a reasonable chance that it will. If it were to absorb the capitalization of the scams and clones, than this would significantly outpace the inflation. Heck just the self destructive tendencies of dark alone could lead to a 5x gain tomorrow. I'm not saying its going to happen, but it definitely could. |

Will you need to get put in prison for the testing phase? Hopefully we could find some volunteers who are already in prison |

what do you guys think of the idea of using monero + mesh nets + open source smart phones to empower prisoners and prison economies. it could be an awesome test case. i2p is a decent stop gap measure but it will never be sufficient for our needs in the long run. trying to emulate a decentralized node based infrastructure on top of existing infrastructure will always have exploitable weaknesses. The only way to get truly dos resistant and reliably anonymous network interactions will be on parallel physical infrastructure. If we could figure out how to beat the fascists on a micro scale in the prison environment than maybe we could think about scaling up to the whole world. just some thoughts. im open to the possibility that im crazy. |

An interesting use for a private cryptocurrency (Monero) is election fundraising.
essentially, anyone in the world can influence the upcoming US 2016 election.

that's true. i often notice it the other way as well. on days where coinmarketcap is a sea of red monero will be the only green.

A bit pissed off cause although i anticipated the drop for days i anyway bought a few XMR around 0.003. Oh well. As fluffy says 1 XMR is 1 XMR Do you guys really think that it can go under 0.0024? im not making the same mistake i made last time. the more the price dips the more i buy this time. if there are very many other people like me out there, than no. |

Thanks for stopping by to check out my thread fp. I had a feeling that my idea was either broken or already on someones radar.
Can this be done with monero do you think? We have time locks already right? We just need multisig. Is the dev team hopeful about being able to work out a method of doing multisig in monero in future?
It can, and we have time locks already. Multisig is harder, and we've been trying to work through the problem with the gracious assistance of gmaxwell and andytoshi (who have done a truckload of work on it already). That said, we need to tread carefully with it, and anything like Lightning's scheme is probably a couple of years away:) Yea lightning is proposing a soft fork in order to make it totally trust-less. Even the way bitcoin is now, with no fork of any kind, it could be made so that you only need to extend enough trust for a single small transaction. In fact the trust could be very tiny since you could just pay someone large amounts in the form of dozens or hundreds of very small micro payments. This is perfectly sufficient i think and a more realistic/better goal than something like lightning. All we need for that is multisig, a standard, and some entrepreneur service providers. |

where the heck is this xmr coming from that these whales keep dumping in massive bulk over and over and over again? changes in the price never seem to come from changes in sentiment from the general community, but the unilateral actions of whales. what is the cause of this? when does it end?
Malicious miner dumps their stash at a loss to damage the market? But why would anyone do that? |

I think so. People like icebreaker have given us a bad name with their fud and trolling in your thread but its actually really cool tech and a mostly really cool community. LOL, you're talking to one of those people lol |
