And everybody who's been in the space long enough should've prolly realized that XMR is really what BTC should be by now.  Seriously...

If you don't mind red-flagging yourself as the-guy-who-encrypts-everything, of course...

All non-public communications should be encrypted.  Period.

If you only encrypt selected things, then you are red-flagging those things as “something to hide”, leaking what is in practical effect contextual metadata, and inviting targeted attackers to seek specifically the things that you wanted to encrypt.  Oops.

The fight between Nada & Frank was hilarious. Just wear the fucking glasses man! Damn!

Nada: "I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all out of bubblegum." Epic!

You are making an argument based upon facts that are NOT within evidence.

Let's sing kumbaya...

I guess Mr. Carpenter was way ahead of the times. Unreal.  

edit: to avoid any possible misinterpretation I will leave the original movie image only.

If you say so, ... boss.

Why is Monero moving away from Boost? If I remember correctly it's been heavily used ever since the code was rewritten in C++.

There will indeed be more days in the sun.  2016 and 2017 were spectacular for Monero, with huge appreciation against BTC.

I have no reason to think this cycle will not see more fun and games.  Monero is seen positively as a 'real' coin and also one with as incredibly important case as has been mentioned above.  The fear of authorities intervening to ban it has been real, but the counter argument that in some cases even banks need privacy is starting to mitigate against this.  Besides, any attempt to curtail use will only certify that Monero works and they cannot trace it.  The Lindy effect means the likelihood of this kind of issue is decreasing and the price is reflecting this.

The cycle of the market baked into Bitcoin will likely repeat and coupled with scarcity that means Monero will shine again, it's been woefully underpriced for too long.

Daily looks damn good too.  Volume also looks decent.

That's a Monero ASIC, right?

Just a few fun observations...

• Currently we are ~2x the number of monero transactions being made than when it was at it's USD ATH in Jan 2018
• That number has steadily grown for four years and shows no signs of dropping yet. https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-transactions.html
• Hashrate has remained steady near the ATH since the RandomX fork.
• Hashrate has shown no clear signs of hidden ASIC development since that time as well.  https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-hashrate.html I believe the recent obscene spike can only be explained by a lot of cloud power (AWS, Azure?) temporarily pointed at mining XMR briefly as new ASICS have no incentive to shut off whereas cloud computing has a LARGE incentive to shut off.  It is very curious as to who/why.  This could even be a test run at a server provider using idle CPU to see what could be achieved as a proof of concept, IMO
• Transaction fees remain near historical lows, even as blocksize rises
• Monero continues to have more real world use (Dark Markets) than the vast majority of blockchains

Just some food for thought.

Sorry buddy.  I already got that one in Dec 17.  It pays to be early.

Yes, there will be dips.
Yes, there will be peaks.
Yes, there will be pumps.
Yes, there will be dumps.

Just Zoom Out^TM, chill, and have a beer!

If you're scared about a dip, you need some HoDL training...

Don't give them your coins.

A rusty nut won't budge, and that's about the only good quality of a rusty nut.

HoDL.

Dear participants of the Monero ecosystem,

CLI v0.17.0.0 has been tagged and release binaries have been made
available on our website. The full release post can be found on our
blog:https://www.getmonero.org/2020/09/17/monero-0.17-released.html
The GUI v0.17.0.0 release will follow shortly.

Please be reminded that on the 17th of October a scheduled network
upgrade will take place on the Monero network. To be sufficiently
prepared, a user, service, merchant, pool operator, or exchange should
run CLI v0.17 or GUI v0.17. The scheduled network upgrade introduces
three consensus changes. First and foremost, a new ring signature
construction, namely CLSAG, will be introduced. CLSAG enables smaller
and faster transactions with rigorous security. A report of the
successful audit of CLSAG can be found on our
blog:https://www.getmonero.org/2020/07/31/clsag-audit.html

Secondly, unlock times are now deterministic. Thirdly, coinbase
rewards now have to be claimed in full.

Additionally, in accordance with our previous announcement, there will
be no change to the mining algorithm (RandomX). Thus, miners will not
have to update their mining software. See
https://www.getmonero.org/2020/09/01/note-scheduled-upgrades.html for
more info.

Note that an informational post regarding the scheduled network
upgrade has been posted on our blog containing more in-depth
information for users and miners:
https://www.getmonero.org/2020/08/18/network-upgrade-october-2020.html

If any assistance is required, feel free to contact the Monero dev
community at #monero-dev (freenode - IRC).

Kind regards,

The Monero dev community

    Add ZMQ/Pub support for txpool_add and chain_main events
    Various bug fixes and performance improvements

Seems too low IMO, with a line of +4 ATM. I woke up too late to place a bet but I think it will be easy for the Saints to beat the Raiders by more than 4. What do the Raiders have going on that I don't know about, or else, what are the Saints missing? Seems like a no brainer.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. I get crickets whenever I bring this up.

Anti money laundering laws are just "you have to tell the government about every transaction you make" laws.

And if you oppose them you're obviously some mob boss trying to move your money from the latest movie style heist.

I have no idea what the Falcons players were thinking/doing with that onside kick. They just waited for the ball to go 10 yards and then gazillions of Cowboys players were already around the ball. They could have picked it up inside 10 yards and game over - seems like they didn't know the rules, pathetic, lol

Little Monero bucking a pretty strong trend.

I gotta say it has been acting fairly lit up recently.
