This guy needs to be stopped...
First you need to find out who he/she is--only wish I had bounty money.

I wish it could get on more exchanges. It is very exposed with everything mainly through Poloniex.
A critical failure there or the kind of mad "haxxors destroyyed our coins store!!1!one!" events we have seen occasionaly and we could be badly sunk.
A reverse XMR.TO(s)?

I think the speculation thread should ideally be focused on discussion of topics related to price speculation.
What exactly are you saying isn't in this vein? I find that most everything posted relates in some way to the future price of Monero--at the very least as to what will influence it. It's rare that Smooth has to get his red marker out.

i think part of todays activity might be influenced by bitcoin crash, no?
As the monkey told me last week, first 250 this week, then 380 in April. 250 part is now. 380 is coming. Bear is getting long in the tooth and can't rowr much anymore. You had best stock up on BTC now. I want a magical monkey. Is this supposing a push down before the first wall street foray to maximize price increase? Or based on charts and such?

I just re-bought everything i lost to Bobbax, so the price can take off again

Are there plans to contact the French tax authorities? They may (probably) have more influence and resources at their disposal than the local police. That's making the assumption that they work the like my local tax agency.

I'm gonna stay away from any judgement calls about dark markets or the average person's desire for privacy, and bring everyone back to the original fireside chat where fluffy was showing off how they were using Iframes to build the GUI. He kept saying "power users" and that is the use-case that brought me into Monero. A power user wants control, and a currency that offers privacy (as well as a GUI that represents how they manage their day-to-day lives) gives it to them. Monero is an accurate reflection of a certain segment of the population who want control of as much as their lives as possible. These people are leaders, self-sustained individualists, contrarians, the young and exuberant, or maybe (hopefully) just about anyone who takes more than a passive interest in their life and how much control they have over it--this is why Monero succeeds: not a particular market, but a particular person. IMO

Not even one poker site to play with xmr?
Is/was/don't know Cryptocoindice was that site a couple days back, but it's been offline for over a day.

do you guys expect another rise in price soon?
Some time (~1-2 days) ago, I put the probabilities such: 30% we are below 165k 30% we are between 165-250k 30% we are between 250-500k 10% we are above 500k ...in 3 weeks. So, no. I think it is more probable that we fall. However, the rise has so much more upside than the fall has downside, that I am continuing to buy. As the markets are looking now bearish, I wonder what is the minimal point it can go (assuming nothing major technical and fundamental black swans are not coming - basically eliminating the scenario to go to 0)? The number of bitcoins in sell orders has declined drastically in 1 week showing to us there is not that much eagerness to buy Moneros these days anymore. Perhaps the guy who sold his Moneros on the vid was right....? Obviously he could have got better price for his coins but he might have made a right move...? I am wondering if I should readjust my buy order to even lower. I'm assuming whoever is doing the majority of buying doesn't want a pump inflating the price too much and limiting their accumulation. So based on that assumption, I would guess that this is a retracement and the price will bump and grind its way up to a price the accumulators are happy with, unless another large investor, or investors, gets involved or un-involved. I just like that it appears that more investors than traders are buying based on the action not getting too pump and dumpy. Vid guy just wanted to hurt XMR or Risto--sad.

Played 3 games with my wife, first time with the actual Fog-of-War rules (pieces did not show their full status except to their owner).
Furthermore, for the purposes of making it an interesting experiment with variable operative goals, the following rules were used:
- Before the battle, each player got 8+1d6 points for purchasing the soldiers. They were appraised as such: * MAJ 7 points * MSG 6 points * SGT, CAPT 5 points * CPL, LT 3 points * PTE 2 points * REC 1 point
- The die roll, purchase and initial placement needed to be done in secret, writing in paper to be checked later
- The scoring formula was as follows: " -2 * Initial_purchase_points + 7 * Victory - Losses " so that the difference of the players was credited to the winner.
Despite my wife being an avid player of several types of games, raw military strategy is not her strong point. Regardless of the initial purchase points, I beat her quite easily 3 times in a row resulting in 49 points in my favor.
These rules lead to interesting 4-6 pieces per side mini-games, which can be played on a 6*6 field
Have you tried giving each soldier variable settings? Let's say you have a major at 7 points total, but when he's created you can adjust his HP, Attack strength (AS), and moves per turn (MP). You'd have to have a 1 point base setting, but the additional points could be put wherever the player wants when creating the soldier. Example: Major 1. HP: 1 + 1 AS: 1 + 0 MP: 1 + 3 Major 2: HP: 1 + 2 AS: 1 + 2 MP: 1 + 0 Major 3: HP: 1 + 0 AS: 1 + 4 MP: 1 + 0

Cool being able to put current devs with past events-- nice write-up. What happened to rethink-your-strategy? I love a good criticism infused with fuck-blasts.

Come down bb, I got some BTC for you Friday's my buy day and I'm hoping to show the little(r) lady some love too. I miss .001

Any reason for the price increase?
rats fleeing a slinking ship? Is it a mad dash?

God loves us. "HM_The_King" is already a bit much... "God"? Now that's going too far. ;0 Everyone knows God loves privacy--that's why you never see him.

https://www.circle.com/enChecking it out. Does it keep records for the US PoliceState? Not that I wash money (I have so little anyway) But I abhor being spied on and feel the freedoms my ancestors died for are gone and I will fight that until the day I die any way I can. KYC laws still apply. But once you've cashed into xmr, you're the boss of your privacy.

Can someone explain Tether USD to me? I see it on POLO now so I'm wondering if it's easier/safer/faster for buying xmr with fiat?
Waiting 4 days for coinbase and then transferring to polo then buying is just a real pita.
Any other alternatives without buying private with escrow?
Looking for the easiest fastest and of course safe way to buy. What are you guys using now?
Coinbase is in big brothers pocket now.
Circle is instant for me. KYC dollars --> Polo BTC --> Cash XMR

could XMR.TO be upgraded to act as a bitcoin mixer? receiving BTC converting through XMR back to BTC? Or how could that work? it would be a pretty nice service that is directly marketable to the bitcoin crowd and let them find out about ring signatures before some BTC sidechain tries to steals its glory
Not really for the moment... The only way to avoid taint between the incoming and the outgoing bitcoins would be to have two completely, perfectly, absolutely separated wallets: one for the incoming bitcoins and one for the outgoing ones. The tricky part would be to transfer from the incoming wallet to the outgoing wallet without taint between them, and to do that converting to XMR isn't of any significant help unless you trade with two completely separated entities that cannot talk to each other to do (i) first BTC > XMR, then (ii) XMR > BTC. Currently it is not possible as we would need to rely on a very small numbers of entities (poloniex + few individuals), so at least them would know the taint trivially. If at least few entities can get the taint trivially, you have accomplished nothing and aren't doing much better than current bitcoin mixers. Open to any suggestion of course, because I agree this would be very powerful. What if you sold the incoming (possibly tainted) coins to people using a tipbot? If you're tipping, you're just buying the coins to give away, so taint isn't an issue for you. And if you're getting the coins through tips, you're probably getting them in scant amounts, and if pressed by an exchange, have a legitimate explanation as to why they are tainted, "they were a reddit tip...." Just thinking aloud, so don't pound on me too hard if it isn't feasible.

there is cryptocoin-dice. i think its good, i had some fun there nice - it even allows investing! i am not really interested in gambling itself... i'd prefer being part of the bankroll but i never heard of "Bobbax" before... so i'll skip it for the moment David Latapie vouches for Bobbax, and i think there was a face-to-face scheduled between Bobbax, David, and some investors. You'll have to check with David on the details. Here's his write-up of ccd: https://moneroeconomy.com/blogs/en/david-latapie/bet-monero
