Monero Status Android Widget

A friend of mine made an android widget and app.




Hey cool app.  I can change currencies in the app but the widget is stuck on Australian dollars.  What am I missing?

I had the same issue. Just found it out: you must select the currency to display *when you add the widget* (there is a moment where you can choose, then click "Done"). So just trash the current widget, add a new one and you should see what I'm talking about.

Wow I clearly got over excited and flashed right past that Cheesy
Thanks

On the GUI, many in the broader user community may find the the third party GUI developed by Jojatekok to be sufficient. He's continued to put a lot of work in and definitely has a following. I can't try it myself because I'm a Windows free zone, but I would encourage others to test and give him constructive feedback.



Excuse my laziness, but do you have a link for this handy?

Thanks

Edited into post above


A response with even more speed than I had come to expect from you guys! Grin Cool

Funny how Bitshares just fly's past $100 million yet Monero seems to be stuck at being a small timer...

I am curious to see where bitshares ends up in a week or two.
BitShards.  might take more than a week or two, but you never know.

How is AM100 relevant?
I'd stick to AM1, AM100 is for spare change if you really want to.
(or to trick newbs)


Probally to trick newbs
Just pointing out how thin that sell order wall was compared to the buy side
Seemed like some obvious pushing ^^.

Since I don't like to mess with my AM1 shares I play with AM 100 speculation on a small scale.  Occasionally it allows me to arb them into AM1 at a profit, and I start over again.  Keeps me sane (well, more so).

Question: what if the Federal Reserve starting to gradually increase the interest, say .5% per 6 months, what kind of impact on coins' price?

Since that would likely be enough to tip the US and the western world over the edge, I would say bullish for bitcoin  Cool  Unlikely to happen though, IMO.

Everyone and their hairdresser is now aware of bitcoin...

I ask at least one cab driver every week whether they have ever heard of bitcoin, and have done for the past year.  Keep in mind that these people are overwhelmingly recent immigrants who make regular remittances to family overseas, a first-order use case for bitcoin, which would save them as much as 10% on transfers of thousands of dollars each year.

Exactly one has ever heard of bitcoin.


I have met exactly zero people that have heard of bitcoin.  Granted, I don't get out much.  But it still brings home just how early this is in the adoption phase.  Crazy.  I will be financially set free before the overwhelming majority of people catch on, and yet I thought I was somewhat late to the party.  Amazing times ahead!

wall of 200 shares at 0.3 btc on 796.com ... looks like they are more liquid than havelock ...

One way or another, that will be gone in seconds on dividends announcement.
What is the total share count on 796?  I think Havelock is still in the 28k range.

I bought some at $587.

I was wondering about that?   I was wondering whether I should buy now, or wait until $583 or wait until $593?

Are you such a whale that a fraction of a percent makes a difference?  At all?  Just buy already.  If it goes down enough to make a difference, you can always sell a kidney, or a kid or something to buy more.

Your seemingly hostile non-answer answer seems to miss the point... but maybe I am getting caught up in style, rather than substance?   hm?   Cheesy

In the last about 2.5 months, I have been buying quite a few coins at around this price......  so buying a bit cheaper would be better and preferable, if possible, even though in the long run, it may NOT make too much difference whether I bought a few more at $593 or $583 or even $603.  

I do like to keep down my average buy price though, if there is some way to foresee price movement, then I prefer to buy at the lower end of thee price range rather than the higher end.

Strange that I would need to explain some seemingly obvious points, regarding what was meant as a light-hearted inquiry/comment.   Huh   Roll Eyes   Tongue


583 instead of 587  will get you <0.7% more coins.  If you are buying 10 coins, that's about .0686 btc .  Will that make a notable bump in your portfolio?  If you are buying 1000 coins, that's still less than 7btc.  A more notable sum on its own, but still NOT (see what I did there?) worth any sort of sweat when you have thousands of coins.  Anyway, back to ignore  Cheesy

Pointing to the smartphone, Kurzweil says, devices like the iPhone are 100,000 times smaller than the computer that he used as an MIT student. "It is also several thousand times more powerful," he says. "It is a million times cheaper. That is a several billion-fold increase in price performance." Technology is being reduced at a rate of "100,000 in 3-D volume per decade," says Kurzweil. "That is another predictable exponential trajectory, so computers of this capability will be blood-cell size in 2030.

Phone size is increasing again.

30 Years Of Cell Phones


There is one phone  missing in that photo. I purchased a "mobile" phone in 1991 or so and it was roughly 8x10x3 and had a handset that looked like a traditional phone with a 8in antennae, i believe that was the first mobile phone built as I was totally into cell phones when they first were introduced in the late 80s and paying 1-3 dollars per minute. Ill have to find a picture of that phone.. too bad I didn't keep it, im sure it would be worth something today..

I recall a Motorola of that description... 6w power!  what are current phones at? 1w or so?  Glad it had a remote handset  Tongue

regarding unemployment:

the only thing I'd say causes more unemployment than minimum wage laws is the progress of technology. And that should be a good thing. Technology is freeing humans from stressful, monotone and harmful work. A cause for celebration. Productivity is going through the roof. The one reason why this is a cause for lament instead of celebration is that we have a system where you need to earn money in order to sustain yourself and the most accepted form of getting money is to work for it/have a job. Sooner or later something has to break, because the trend of accelerating progress in technology and the correlated trend of decreasing availability of jobs won't be stopping any time soon.

Yes, there will always be creation of new jobs, which didn't exist before but is the rate at which these are created really equivalent to the rate of job destruction caused by technology? I don't think so. 250 years ago technology displaced human labor from agriculture...into industry. Later the same happened to industry jobs and now most developed economies have a 70 - 80% share of service industry in their economies. Technology has already begun to displace human labor from there as well. But human labor has nowhere left to migrate.

We are headed towards totall collapse unless for starters some sort of universal welfare is paid to everyone.

Or...Elysium, which seems most likely if we follow the current trend.

People don't like to hear it, but depopulation and/or fenced ghettos/ghetto continents are strong possibilities in the future. It all depends whether or not we destroy everything or just our social/financial systems first. In which case we will ALL (99.9%) live there.

   Market cap is calculated from market price, is it not?  I don't see the benefit.  Wouldn't it just provide a trend that is marginally lower over time than price alone (while there is a block reward), and then we'd have to calculate back to find the price trend?  Mind you, beyond buy low, sell high, I know nothing of trading.  Maybe you could explain it to me  Smiley

Price between bubbles oscillates within this channel. Channel slope is about 10x/yr. So even without bubble, price should reach 6K$ by next July.



Or 100k.  Somewhere in that range  Cheesy

So what we've learned today is that the Reagan / AT&T divestiture comment was trollbait to just copy/paste the wikipedia page, and twist something that everyone with any common sense knows (that the thing didn't arise out of thin air in one second) into some kind of red herring support for a statement that didn't even make sense in the first place. I.e. turning something very nuanced and sophisticated and open to all kinds of analysis and interpretation into a Jeopardy question in order to produce irrelevant support for a pretty shit generalization in the first place.

This guy is either the biggest asshole ever, or a pretty skilled and subtle troll.

I've never seen Jorge slander or belittle anyone here.  He leaves personal attacks to those of you that keep rising to the bait.

Why do some stocks have huge yield (over 500%) while others have the conservative ~4%? Does it factor down to risk vs. payoff?

The formula is:

Annual Yield = (Annual Dividends/Share Price)x100

Annual dividends assumes last dividend.

So for a share that pays weekly:

Annual Yield = ((last dividendx52)/Share Price)x100
and most with the high high yield are falling in price.  the lower the price goes, the higher the yield.  Hot Potato  Grin

Just had to buy my girlfriend a 128gb card to boost her macbook air storage. Used ebay and paypal ( newegg doesn't let Australians use bitcoins yet Sad )

Paypal fees are one thing, their exchange rates are another. Currently it is 0.944. Paypal gave me 0.91. So another 4 bucks on top of the fees. Bitcoin may not yet be better for lots of US customers, as you don't save anything and it can be a bit of a hassle, but for the rest of us poor shmucks around the world, getting rid of exchange rate ripoffs is a big fucking deal. I'm planning on buying a new Thinkpad this year, at those kind of rates it would be $75 dollars worth of exchange rate rip off!!
Same issue buying in US from Canada.  CC's tack on 3% to the least favorable exchange ratio.  They appear to hodl off registering transactions for the sole purpose of attaching a worse exchange rate should one come along within a few days to a week.  THEN they post the transaction.  With the further 3%.  Love me them banks  Cheesy

My opinion, bring on the negativity, is they should have donated ALL the SilkRoad
coins to a fund to be spread out proportionally to pay back all the MTGOX
victims.

Yes, we should reward people for making poor choices!

This isn't really a moral hazard case.  Society benefits from a general presumption that rule of law will hold.  When someone defects, and breaks that assumption, society benefits from fixing the breakage, because it supports adherence to and confidence in the rule of law. 

 Without rule of law, there is little reason to motivate productivity or competition, because what you make can willbe taken from you.


Nicely put, however I couldn't resist playing devil's advocate... Tongue

Actually the real solution would be to charge a low fee for every order placed, whether it is fulfilled or not or canceled.
Or just for cancellations.  Or after a limit.  Abuser pay, as it were.



Trying to recall think there was an option like that on BTCT or maybe not if so then it would be a nice feature to add to havelock

IIRC they had higher trade fees for non-2FA accounts?  I don't recall any order or cancellation fees.  Of course, that was before breakfast this morning, and therefore somewhat fuzzy  Grin

Ah right that was it to promote more secure authentication only the 2FA sometimes timed out on you more often than not Smiley
So your right guess it hasn't occurred yet fees for using the bots rapidly since some trades should be allowed at no fee just a lot of them at one time etc.

Or an API fee. If you are using it to good effect, perhaps you'd like to pay for it's upgrading before it brings the house down  Cheesy
