A friend of mine wants to test Monero. He already created a account on MyMonero.com. Is there a site / faucet to get a little amount of Monero to play around?
not as far as i would know. if he is your friend, you should send him some  Is Saddam Bitcoin still giving away Monero for signing up with open alias? Introduction to two great techs with one free stone. |

Polo trollbox MOD said it's FUD. Good luck with your short positions.  |

Is this in reference to the newb account on reddit who made claims about Monero, but won't provide evidence because "they are protecting their source themselves?" Or in plain speak: a shorter probably went rogue and decided rumor might destroy what facts can't.  *www.reddit.com/r/CryptoMarkets/comments/39hdqh/xmr_trading_is_suspended_on_bter_and_trademark_cd/ I was off and on both the forums he mentioned most of yesterday and didn't see a thing posted on this. Unless others can corroborate, the guy or girl is most likely lying. |

What's a masternote? Is that what Evan puts in between the lines of code to remind himself what to change after he launches? |

better than losing money. Seriously, vgo isn't even saying anything negative about monero. What's wrong with you people?
Most of his interaction in this thread has been trollish imo... And I am not one to be overly quick to call someone a troll (and I am not calling him one) nor do I think speaking negatively about monero is trolling, but for some weeks most of his posts have seemed to be meant to taunt. All the - Master Of Trading-, - The Big Guy-, - The Strong Hand-, - I´m Moby-Dick- of this thread, they are becoming XMR in: - Monero: The coin of Pump and Dump -.... NO thanks!!! XMR outside Polotrap, now!!! What does this even mean?+Eddu(field?) bla, bla, bla... This isn't bad English, this is either lazy or trying to be evasive.+Instamine, bla, bla, bla... WTF?? ExactlyMonero!!! ( Sorry for my bad english, again.) "WTF?" Exactly my thought while reading this word salad. I don't know if you are talking about this thread, criticisms of dash, or some sort of insider game of fake walls? Complete sentences explaining your thoughts coherently would go a long way--a lot longer than saying you have bad English. If it is that bad, why are you here? This isn't a Rosetta Stone forum and your posts read like trolling. |

You mean this isn't meant to instill warm wishes to the observer?  He can keep piling up taintcoin while selling me his digital cash. |

This list is so old not even Evan Duffield is on it yet, he gets his fair share of the vote  Added to poll When can we change our votes? Too many perfect choices were added late. |

Now there is an argument that network systems are breaking the shackles of hierarchy systems, but lets be very honest with this argument in that the best example we have of a network system, the internet, is a hodgepodge of actual freedom, freedom for appearance sake, sneaky-westernized totalitarianism, and in-your-face-what-are-gonna-do-about-it totalitarianism.
We must fix the internet so as to maintain the fundamental End-to-end principle. The designers forgot to build Tor into it when they designed it. And Tor has serious flaws; most importantly it can be Sybil attacked. Now replace internet with decentralized currency, and TOR with Monero and you have the current state of affairs in cryptocurrency land--you could exchange p2p for zerocash and you'd have the future option in there as well. As Twain said, "History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme." You've got the general theme correct, but you apparently may not be aware of the technical limitations of Monero, Tor, and Zerocash that make them unsuitable. For one, none of them scale. ATM you need to add Bitcoin to that list. AFAIK the db has greatly reduced the scaling problem for monero as far as wallets go, and the dynamic block limit allows adaptable scaling, and later, sidechains and daughterchains should move excess data from the mainchain. Zerocash has a vapor-ware problem to deal with before it reaches a scaleability problem--that's why i put into the future as the p2p equivalent. But maybe quantum money gets here first.... Who knows what TOR could have done if, as you suggested, the designers had built it into the internet. |

I don't get the overreaction. If you're a mold spore you just join the pathway to the better food source, you don't get all butthurt and guard the outmoded resource supply. |

Bravo. Well said.
Unless ...
You create a Committee for Public Safety, with responsibility and the power to protect
the public from fraud.
The choice is yours.
Wouldn't a Committee of Public Safety become another power center rife for abuse and cronyism? I'm not sold on humans breaking with their long history of corruption anytime soon. Now, if you're talking about an unadulterated cryptosystem that works on consensus parameters that are agreed upon and maintained by one-voice = one-vote systems that are mathematically verified for authenticity, I'm listening. Though my concern then comes to how is such a system built that it takes minority populations into accord. I also, in a very broad sense, wonder how such a system could be built without ending up like a nightmare out of Delueze's systems of control--sometimes I feel like the very technologies meant to expand our liberties are forcing us further and further down the maze toward more totalitarian states.

Does somebody likes to play agar.io from time to time? I had a nice advertisement up for about 20 minutes  heh, i had monero for name a few times. chasing doge and bitcoin  Is it wrong that I'm now visualizing Bitcoin sidechains as blobs that take days to separate, change color permanently, and get stranded off screen? |

--spending/using the coin
--donating to the Devs (if open source and no premine)
--answering questions posted by new comers
--educating yourself on the coin and cryptosystems in general
--participating in debate and discussion
--giving a shit about the direction of cryptocurrency, not just the coin you support.

Monero Technical Analysis: Whale ate, whale shat--bad whale

I've been working with my new offline project during the weekend so I have not been able to follow the markets that well. Now as I came back online I noticed a big part of my bitcoins have been returned me, still some people are in long positions. Short position lending I used to have a few thousand coins at the peak (which was lame since my rates were usually the best ones as I wanted to employ my coins), now only less than 50 XMR are in short positions (I have cancelled the auto-renew function in all my lending activities). Just an observation.... ----- BTW, what happened on weekend? I saw a huge peak on volumes.... What's the story behind that? 1. Big Wall Man says "DUMP!" 2. People dump! 3. Wall no more.  4. Big Wall Man puts up even bigger wall! 5. Big Wall Man says "ahahahaha!" 6. End. Quick distraction: This is one of the best crypto-trading analyses and info-posts in my 2+ years trading (short, sweet, and cuts through the crap to the bottom line); it is THE BEST such post pound-for-pound considering its only 6 lines. Seriously, for the noobs, lots and lots of traders are just lemmings (not be confused w/ the bots). Such an environment makes looking at trends difficult. 2A. Big Wall Man says, "Big surprise when Wall no more." |

Claiming that because both don't hold 100% certainty, they're equivalent, is really crappy sophism.
Who made that claim? Not me. Still you're implying I did. Because if I did, then I would claim Bitcoin and DuckNote are equivalent, which I don't. You implied they are both anonymous enough even if one is superior to the other in regards to anonymity. Who knows what you think about Ducknote and Bitcoin.
Doesn't matter what I think, what matters is whether they are equivalent in the context of this conversation i.e. anonymity. I implied that by this whole thread. Given that Monero doesn't have the masternode attack vector, they are not equivalent privacy technologies. |

Wall to 23, MJ's number. I wonder if it will make it to his number when he came back to the NBA.   |
