XMR will be the one coin profiting from the DASH bubble blasting. Have patience. XMR is still the cheapest coin with a real case use. Just watch the reddit user base growth in the last months. Wink It is pretty logical where the money from ETH and DASH will flow.

Hope its ok to quote myself.  Grin

You may be right eventually, but this increase isn't coming from a Dash-crash. Unfortunately.

Should I remind you the Jaxx integration?


You probably shouldn't. It would look strange in a thread about something else entirely and might make you seem unstable.


I hope you take my advice in the spirit it was meant.
23  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: December 07, 2016, 12:43:06 PM
...the best bet would be STEEM, XMR and BTC. STEEM has a lot of people criticizing it for been a ponzi scheme. Hence many people will not be comfortable to get into it.

How is this a good thing?

Well, I'm waiting for monero to hit rock bottom before buying and stockpiling it. I know the coin will rise back again Grin

Where do you think rock-bottom lies?

26  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Wallet for Android / Large increase in decrypting time since latest update on: September 21, 2016, 11:17:15 AM
The time to decrypt when sending a transaction has increased from ~3 seconds to more than 30 in this latest version (4.69).

Anyone else experienced this?

[There's no need to use a page cap. The left menu shows the number of sales. You can just search for monero vendors and work out the percentage.

Stimulants:

Total sales: 23347
Monero sales: 425
= 1.82%

That's just wrong.  [Firstly, these are not sales.  These are listings.  Secondly,] you're comparing the result of a search by one process with some unknown reported number.  There's no evidence that this number is comparable, or even accurate, since it can't be mapped to actual listing.  You're comparing apples and oranges.  The page cap is imposed by the site, not by me.  To make a valid sampling you have to sample both populations the same way.  You can slice it to get under the cap (as I did with the use of trust level limits).  I don't know of any other way to sample both populations comparably.

Stimulants, level 9-10, gives 8 XMR listings and 62 BTC listings, or 13% XMR support.
Stimulants, level 7-8, gives 47 XMR listings and 103 BTC listings, or 46% XMR support.

That is a valid comparison.  Your numbers are just a units error, statistically incoherent.

The more interesting numbers would be the sales volumes.  Because if sales volume is increasing, we're golden, and it doen't matter if 13% (the lowest number in evidence) or 46% (the highest number in evidence) of the vendors are supporting XMR.'


Firstly, you're correct. I should have used "listings" instead of sales.


You're also correct on my calculations. The number of listings in each category is being reported completely wrong on the left menu. For instance, pressed pills shows 269 listings when there are actually ~60.

My apologies for the mistake everyone.

I checked also out Stimulants -> 23171 offers. 560 accept Monero. Its only 2,41%

today there are only 435 offers accepting Monero by 23338 offers overall. So only 1,86%

So we lost 23% acceptance.

Never one to trust blindly what can easily be verified, I did my own sampling:  43 bitcoin to 8 monero, 18.6%  (Page count, psychedelics, trust levels 4 to 5, to stay under page cap).  Maybe you slipped a decimal.  

When I searched stimulants I got 29 pages of monero vendors, 50 pages of bitcoin vendors (page cap).  

  Last low of 0.001612 was like that.  Just kind of ran out of dump, and a couple weeks later, Pow!

Think about  it from the point of view of a large accumulator.  Do you want to scoop before the queue is full?  Do you want to scoop higher or lower?  You wait until there are no lower asks before you take what you can get while you can still get it.  You probe and tickle it down where you can, slap it down where you must, and when it just isn't going to go lower, and there is a good supply, you nab it.

Given 1/5 uptake before there is a GUI or usable multisig, I predict 50% adoption by end of 2017.  el rippo was right, and I was too pessimistic:  1 bn mcap in 15 months time.  BTC parity by 2021.  200x by 2024.

Only black markets matter for innovation, and only large accumulators matter for the long-term price.

... it kept updating at 31%, 63% 95% and then starting over at 0%. According to the log file this must of happened when the blockchainScanner scanned from intermediate heights. (Eg. #397557 to #398370, #398371 to #399115, etc, etc)

I also had this problem with the transaction history progress bar. I thought it might be stuck in a loop (was probably just taking ages due to my old pc) so I closed and restarted Armory. On restarting, it failed to continue the transaction scan and showed my balance from (I believe) the point at which I'd closed Armory.

This is the relevant part of the log:

Restarting Armory didn't change this but forcing a rescan (and more patience!) did.



Thanks for all your work devs.
34  Bitcoin / Armory / Re: Armory issues on: November 04, 2015, 11:11:21 PM
I had this same issue earlier. It was because the Armory database hadn't caught up yet.

If this doesn't solve your problem, there's an Armory sub-forum:

You seem to be avoiding the question: What materials is this made from?

It's very relevant to a valuation (obviously) so I'm not sure why you haven't addressed this.



My personal opinion of this is that it's a decent first attempt, but far from being ready to put on sale.

Zooming in shows that you need to work on getting your lines, curves and the positioning of the gems more regular. It would also be nice if you sunk the gems rather than placing them straight on top.

I wouldn't buy one of these, but then I dislike jewellery in general and flashy stuff like this particularly. Others have differing tastes though obviously.



With regard to "My pain is over", I suggest you stop being so melodramatic; If you really desire to make your living creating jewellery, you'll need to suffer a lot more than "5 hours" in learning your trade.

It seems though that instead of putting in the required effort, you prefer to offer low quality items marketed on sympathy. Your choice I suppose.

They should include a miner chip in devices that are constantly switched-on:
1) Fridge/refrigerators
3) Office air-conditioners

Did everyone fail basic science class?  WTF?  

The job of Fridge / Air conditioners is to make shit cold.  To do that, they move a shit load of heat away from the place that is getting cold.  This is hard to do.  It makes even more heat when moving heat, and that heat has to also be moved away from the cold area - causing even more heat!  Now, some fucking genius like biggbox wants to put a heat generator right in there?  What the fuck is wrong with this community that we got so many fucking retarded idiots?  How did that happen?  

I am pretty sure bitcoin is going to fail miserably because we got guys like biggbox engineering the dumbest fucking machines imaginable.

Actually it is possible to use heat to power a fridge. They do it in RV's, caravans etc. This link describes the process using gas/propane to supply the heat, but most of them can use electric elements instead:

http://home.howstuffworks.com/refrigerator5.htm
Your reading comprehension is a little off. It describes how refrigerators need some heat to regulate the temperature, not that they are powered using heat. The heating is only to prevent things from becoming too cold.

Read further:

"If you own an RV, chances are you have a gas- or propane-powered refrigerator. These refrigerators are interesting because they have no moving parts and use gas or propane as their primary energy source. Also, they use heat to produce the cold inside the refrigerator."
I would say that article is incorrect, at least that statement. They aren't using heat has the energy source, they are using it to separate the ammonia from the water and then using the ammonia gas for the actual cooling.

But this is starting to get OT.

The question was whether the heat from a mining chip could be used to power a fridge. The answer is yes.

(Whether you call that the energy source or not is another question; one that I'm not interested in)
