There are a lot of old time XMR bagholders who are going to be selling in this range. Some of us will stay around too.  Ha. I bought some at .007 in the initial pump. I've been holding on to those coins the whole time. Sell now? Don't think so. |

I'm trying to run a monero node on an Android tablet. The tablet's ssd doesn't have enough space, so I downloaded and extracted version 9.3 on a 64 gb usb flash drive, attached it to the tablet through an OTG cable, and tried to run bitmonerod (I am using Ubuntu Touch). Went into the monero.linux.armv6.v0-9-3-0 folder and typed ./bitmonerod, says permission denied. Tried chmod u+x bitmonerod, still says permission denied. So it's not the permission on bitmonerod that's the problem, it's the security controls on the entire volume. Is there some way to gain permission to run an executable that's in a folder on the flash drive?

If you have access to a stable currency, equities, bonds, etc - then sure, using Monero as a savings account seems less than ideal due to the volatility. However, compared with unstable currencies in places like Somalia, Iraq, Zimbabwe, North Korea, Venezuela, etc - it's not a crazy idea to think that Monero or other cryptocoins could be a better store of value. The biggest issue is getting in and out of Monero since most of that is conducted through BTC and if you already have that, one could argue that you have a more stable saving account right there.
Does "stable" mean stable price? I haven't done the numbers, but Monero's exchange rate (in dollars) might be no more volatile than bitcoin's, from the look of things. There's no fiat market to speak of for Monero, which is a problem. |

You need a cushion of less volatile liquid assets to get you through the doldrums.

smooth -- have you tried?
It's not so simple or so easy as you say.
I've done thousands of trades using bots on finex, etc. This is going back a couple of years.
I hired a professional accountant, who billed himself as conversant in bitcoin, and couldn't do my taxes even with his help.
It's not a matter of what you started out with and how much you ended up with.

Yours works.
It's syncing about 80 blocks per minute now. Crummy computer, considering it has an SSD. But I'm only a few thousand blocks behind.

Primer's not a professional troll, just a kvetch.
Look past his bitching and moaning, and judge him only by his actions' net effect.
Maybe he's not such a bad person.
I should know the difference between drama and misdemeanor; I am occasionally guilty of the former myself.

I wish I knew enough about this stuff to understand whether there's any danger to the chain.
Not if exchanges/merchants are on the right version, which they are. Drop in hashrate of course is detrimental to security. Okay, but are the "orphans" going to die, or live on like zombies? That would mean a split chain, if I'm not mistaken. |

Wow, what a failed fork. Difficulty FUCK-UP, no blocks in the last 20+ min... universal-pool not compatible ....
FUCKING AMATEUR DEVS!!!
Right on schedule, primer-! what does that mean? |

On my last xmr withdrawal from polo, I saw that the mixin was 0. What's up with that, I thought the protocol was enforcing mixin 3 by now.

I mean what if the NSA makes an all-out attempt to bring monero down. Political hysteria about dark markets, "terrorism, drugs and child pornography" could lead to that, in the worst case.
I do not have 100% evidence that the U.S. TLAs are the world monopoly provider of child porn (as they are in terrorism and drugs). Please lead me to the sources of information.. I wasn't saying that law enforcement/spying agencies provide child porn. I was saying that there might be an outcry over monero similar to the hissy fit Chuck Schumer had over bitcoin. A spark can turn into a wildfire of public outrage, fanned by the powers that be, and for example the NSA might apply its computing power to attacking monero. I think that scenario is unlikely, but it's possible. You're willing to consider all kinds of far-fetched scenarios that another person might call conspiracy theories, Risto. Don't you think the the scenario I've outlined lies within the realm of possibility? Looking into the future, events almost never play out the way they think we will. Sometimes things turn out better, sometimes worse, but often they play out in unexpected ways. |

a top 3 volume DNM offers XMR support
I fear we don't have the hashing power or the node count to withstand the not-so-tender attentions of a state actor that might follow upon such a scenario. What's your opinion? |

Firefox simply is not strong enough to run a demanding API. I can use neither Poloniex nor the Coinbase exchange in the Firefox browser, because it freezes.
Chrome browser does the job, but Google stopped supporting Chrome browser for 32bit Linux about two weeks ago.
I can't use Opera browser. Installation went well, but it's a crapshoot trying to use the web. It returns SSL errors as often as not. Unfortunately, polo and Coinbase are among the url's opera refuses to connect.
