I'm not trying to nag or berate you guys who refuse to try the simplewallet command line interface, but it is really pretty straightforward, and in light of some guy losing 32k XMR from mymonero, it's something that might be worth ten minutes of your time. Let's assume you use Windows, and that you understand what files and folders are on your computer. Download simplewallet and unzip it into a folder called Monero, or whatever. Double click simplewallet, type in a name for your new wallet, let's say mywallet, and press enter. Type in a password for your new wallet, and then be absolutely sure to write down your 25 word seed. Close simplewallet. You should now have a file called mywallet.address.txt in the folder with simplewallet. Open mywallet.address.txt; this is your address - you can send coins here and not have to worry about exchanges goxxing or cryptsying or unknown vulnerabilities in web wallets. Damnit, now you've done it. I happen to have a few hours free, so here we go. Currently downloading on an ultra-slow connection. |

What will be so revolutionary in this wallet?
I see Monero have strongest community, and for a long time have many supporters.
What is different here than other anon coins?
Is this really best anon coin?
Monero has a very technical community, ie they know their way around a computer. What this GUI wallet does for me is exponentially increase the usability of the coin and make it so I don't have to store my XMR online. I don't know shit about command terminals and this is the main reason why I want this wallet as soon as possible. I feel like I'm frozen with my XMR because I don't have the time to understand terminal commands, and honestly it probably safer for me to use mymonero than to try and figure it out.Pretty sure there is a large, silent pool of people that feel the same. I reached the comfort threshold for what I want to store on polo and mymonero some time ago, and won't significantly add to it unless/until: the price drops substantially official GUI or the time and inclination to become more computer literate shake hands. Of these, the most likely first mover is now the GUI. If I never accumulate more than the modest amount I currently hold (by proxy, yes) I will be quite content. Greed, however, indicates that I would happily multiply that amount if it could be done with minimal stress and effort. I have been accumulating little bits for some time, and watching the project and community even longer. I've yet to see anything I like better in the anon space. True, I don't have the tech background to fully understand the workings myself, but I DO have the intelligence to recognize ability and integrity in others. One cannot be a leader in every field, so the ability to recognize whom to follow is perhaps more important. Monero FTW. |

I love speculation, therefore, here is my speculation: in 2036 Shit has hit on people's fan badly enough ...snip... therefore the value of 1 XMR is 69 billion usd. If 90 % of XMR remains in cold storages and only 10 % of XMR are in circulation, the value of each XMR in this case is 690 billion (10^9).
I love your fantastic speculation, but regarding the first bit, I speculate that you are off by an order of magnitude. 2 years should suffice to soil the fan, in my view. |

Every time I think it's done, we bump a little higher. Will we see 400k this trip? Top 430k? or can moon be a real destination? I just love being well out of the red ink for a change  The problem is, I have no clue how high it ends but definetely a lot higher. Arguments: Summer 2014 the price stabilized to 0.004 (btc was around 400-600, correct me if I am wrong) into form of a triangle. Summer 2014 the emission was a lot higher and there were pretty much nothing done to develope the product. Now we are living in 2016, XMR approaching her second anniversary of the coin, had near death experience (case Bitcoinexpress), an epic dump last spring. I guess someone has posted the video link also, code has been fixed and a lot of yet undone development have been funded (so the money will not be the issue here to get XMR rock'n'nrolling - especially as the price increases, the bounties are getting more and more delicious). I guess the real destination of XMR is to get the marketcap in trillions of USD. I think it will take decade to achieve it without the help of investors. It will be less if we get some VC-money flowing into XMR (like 100+ millions of usd type of funding). I don't recall exactly what btc was at, but I think somewhere around current levels when I opened my polo account in May of 2014 to get me some of that MRO I was lucky to be able to buy my average down, thanks to the 2 dumps into the .0010 range. Emission is rapidly closing on 50% of where I started, which seems to have snuck up rather quickly. Every thing seems to be coming together (through the majestic efforts of many talented people) and it is just a very exciting time. |

I also think we need a USD/XMR pair and have emailed Krakon and would request you all do as well. I'm pretty fed up with coinbase.
In communication with them currently on another matter, I will definitely add the request on my next response  |

Wow.... I just did some math at 280k satoshi and came up with a surprising arithmetic. A friend was asking what she would get right now for her seven bitcoins if she converted them to Monero.
So I took 1 bitcoin and divided it by 0.0028. That comes out to 357.14285714285714285714285714286... Monero per Bitcoin. Ok, so let's directly multiply that number by 7 bitcoins....
2500 Monero. Exactly.. Weird.... I have a bit of dyscalcula - why does this happen?
I've always found 7/28 to be 0.25 ... manipulating the decimal to account for the ten thousandths is child's play. It's the 7 bitcoins that I can't come up with |

Disclaimer: This post is not investment advice
So much good news and positive price action lately. Oh My indeed! Is the basement finished in your monero house? I failed to increase my position before the rise, and may require somewhere to stay... |

David Morgan, a dyed in the wool precious metals guy, praises bitcoin and alternative financial networks (youtube, x22 report spotlight from this morning - last mention in the interview). I've been noticing an uptick again in btc awareness lately, which eventually gives us the trickle down exposure. That and the gobbling of the 200ksat wall last hour - Bullish!

I am becoming increasingly bullish.
When do you think it will start a new leg upwards? Maybe 10 February will be the start of the next leg up |

It appears that one could market buy 90k XMR for about $90k right now on Poloniex. What an opportunity for a low slippage buy!

All very valid questions. I'm sure no one here finds them annoying, quite the contrary I'm pretty sure many people also benefit from the answers.
Ditto. It seems there is often enough time to lurk and absorb what others have the time to ask/explain, but never enough free time to dig in on my own. Repetition and sometimes remediation are required to get it right and make it stick. Lurk, learn, accumulate. Keep it up |

Damn.. so thats how DASH masternodes work.
Where's the monkey? I don't see the monkey... |

...The result is that everyone coming along now can get Monero almost as cheaply as someone that found Monero in 2014.
Most likely cheaper, but hopefully not for too much longer |

CaVirtex is the only CDN exchange that can link to a CDN bank account. I think.
So that makes it easier for people to get CAD into CaVirtex? If so, wouldn't that mean their price would tend to be higher than the one that it's harder to get CAD into? CaVirtex' coins are 10% cheaper than anywhere else. So why isn't someone buying them? I tend to have difficulties depositing with Level 2 Verification there myself from a linked bank account and tend to still use lightbox and canadianbitcoins even at a premium to cavirtex. The ownership changed a while ago and the owners of the havelock exchange changed hands and left those shareholders in the dust but the exchange works fine for Canadian users who already have bitcoins and want to trade there. (Problem is getting the fiat equivalent in instead of doing a BTC LTC conversion there to have a fiat balance.) Both Cavirtex and QuadrigaCX have completely dropped the ball on deposits. When Bitstamp started linking Cdn accts I tried it out, and numerous times since. Longest wait was 4 business days. Cdn exchanges always over 2 weeks, if i can do it at all, with poor to nonexistent communication. Add to that the lack of liquidity and high rates, and it results in my business going overseas. |
