By this metric the price can easily hit 500$, this project is just pure awesomeness. Both in terms of development as in terms of the market.

It's a very succesful project, that is extremely undervalued in my opinion.

I am HODLING for more profits  Smiley
it can easily hit more, if people will hold it. the longer you hold, the higher the price

Absolutely I am not planning to sell for the next 2 years, and I could buy more in the meantime.

PPT is one of the most succesful ETH tokens, I just love it.

We will definitely see many millionaires & billionaires in the next couple of years.

Would help if you could provide a link. I've been searching on the internet and not found anything about that. There has been at least one bug so far in which infinite amounts of Monero could have been minted undetedcted, although they fixed it before anyone did it (you hope). But how do you detect how many Monero have been minted so far?

I think you are muddying the waters here.

Choose your argument, are you talking about an accidental hardfork or a bug?

Because for a hardfork you need all nodes to be compromised + the miners, so that is out of the question anyway.


If we are talking about a bug though, then the "infinute monero supply" only lasts as long as the bug. I mean the main protocol supercedes a technical bug.

The bug may be exploited but then, the market would crash if somebody starts to sell infinite amounts.

I don't think such bug is likely?

Is it a software bug? Well the code is open source, so on this basis, DASH could have it as well.

Is it an encryption bug? I don't know, I am not a cryptographer.


I would suspect the protocol is hardcoded and not solely based on the encryption, and having failsafe mechanisms, but I am not a developer so I am just speculating, and so do you.

Great, so yet another platform US residents can't use  Sad

Oh well. Hopefully the token prices with moon and we can make our money that way.

I think this coin is about to skyrocket in 2018. We could see a huge bullish year, what happened in Q3-Q4 2017 was just the beginning.

The real money might start flowing in the spring when these new exchanges open up. I feel the crypto market is about to get flooded with trillions.

Then it's only a question of time until smaller projects like this skyrocket.

If Reggie wants to have institutional users for Veritaseum platform, he should be humble and approach small-timer users first.
Small-timer users are easier to approach, easier to close a deal, and less demanding.
He should aim low first (to promote adoption and increase participation) and only to aim high later once he has an existing + proven user base to convince the big-timer users.

Nothing stops people from buying VERI tokens.

As for the software itself, wasn't that for all users, or was it just for institutional users, I am not sure?

When the price reaches $ 55 lots of users are selling so as to make the price down, but I'm sure this year's price will reach $ 250.

By this metric the price can easily hit 500$, this project is just pure awesomeness. Both in terms of development as in terms of the market.

I'm still holding my AMP, I think 2018 will be a very exciting year for this project. Things are heading in the right direction now.

The app userbase is growing, I think it only needs to hit a critical treshold before it has the potential to go viral.

The future remains to be seen.
487  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency on: January 15, 2018, 12:59:56 PM

Cryptotechnical you can say it is a rather cheap done solution and this I agree in and you have to know what you do it is not quite easy to handle correctly. But faulty it is not. It works. You can not deanonymize the mixed coins ever when done correctly. (Contrary to when it's "just" encrypted in the blockchain)

Whenever I show someone Dash I explain him or her the normal use case because for 99% this is enough. It is "lightening" fast and cheap as it should be and has to be for a cash coin contrary to what bitcoin has become now thanks to that so "clever" core devs.

And I explain the InstantSend feature because that is just a simple click on the checkbox. About private send I only say don't use it except you really need the feature because it will make things a lot more complicate for you.

I don't have time to argue now, to put it simply.

Dash leaks metadata, Monero doesn't, that is the core difference.

Dash relies on the assumption that Nodes are trustworthy, Monero doesn't, monero places all the trust in the encryption, which by any risk standard has a lower probability of failure than the nodes.

Nodes could be hijacked, hacked, coerced, monitored, etc... By this metric, Dash is inferior to Monero in terms of privacy.

Now this vulnerability I criticize, however I like other aspects of Dash, and hold some Dash as well, so I am not a hater.



Now you get it. Thanks.
If Bitcoin fails than we will likely see Litecoin, BCH and/or DASH as the next best for cashing used main coins or a total collaps of the cryptomarket. At least  those coins have a good way grown up community and so a "fight" won't end up in "my coin is better than your coin" spam in the other coins thread ... at least I hope that. We will see.



No, in my opinion this is what will happen:

LTC is bullshit, never went anywhere, no reason for it to go up now when there are so many BTC clones out there, I think even the developer left, it's a joke.

BTC has strangled itself with the 1 mb block, it's dead.

Monero is a newcomer, but it still has a small userbase and low economic activity behind it.

So the only 2 probable coins for now are Dash and BCH, which one will win? I don't know, I bought both.
488  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency on: January 15, 2018, 12:53:47 PM

Not something else. Dash wants to be a digital currency. A cash system. Monero wants to be a privacy coin. That's a big difference. Dash is not aiming to be a privacy coin. It just offers such a feature as an additon that you can use or not.
There is no monero dash fight. That impression comes from the number of people comparing the privacy aspect of both coins creating wrong impression that the two coins play on a same level somehow which they do not. And there are the constant monero trolls resitant we have which like to post monero in dash for eighter their personal relief or for monero advertising. Dash do not care a bit about monero. It is one sided. You should be clear about what you invest in.

Yes I am aware of that, but I am also aware that Dash has effectively a faulty privacy system, yet it's been promoted, at least in the past as a privacy coin. Literally it was named dark-coin in the past.

I was pointing out that that is a little bit dishonest, Dash has very weak privacy, and promoting it as a privacy coin is dishonest and misleading potential privacy demanding users.

Monero has a central point of failure, which is it's encryption scheme, which might turn out one day to be weak, being deanonymized by QC or a crypto bug.

Still, despite that, Monero still has a better privacy, and a lower risk probability. So if you want privacy go to Monero.

I just want to make money at this point so I bought both. I think Dash has a great potential to get into the top 5.

It will probably be a fight between BCH and DASH.


Dash privacy on itself is not weak, nor does it have a faulty system. It does have a somewhat time-consuming process, because it depends on finding people to mix their input amounts with but that does not mean its privacy tech is weak or faulty.
This means that Dash had every right to promote itself as a privacy coin in the past and nowadays can promote itself as a platform on which to run several services (including but not limited to : privacy).  

I suspect your beliefs and your information about Dash privacy tech and how it functions exactly, are somewhat influenced by your Monero invested background.
Hell, Monero did not even have a solid and safe privacy tech, untill after their large update somewhere early last year. If any coin should not have been promoting themself as safe and strong privacy coin, its Monero during the first two years.

Link : https://www.coindesk.com/monero-link-transactions-debate/

Dash relies on the assumption that Nodes aren't monitored, which is false. The TX metadata can be linked, even if you use a VPN.

Monero doesn't rely on this assumption, so the privacy is better, monero removes the metadata entirely.


Monero is so private you never can tell if someone is minting their own coins via an exploit or bug  Shocked  Wink

Dash has very effective privacy. Coin mixing is totally adequate for the job.

Dash has a treasury, governance, and instant send

Digital Cash

That's bullshit, bugs might happen, but that's a hard stretch, the code can be reviewed by anyone.

As for the encryption system, well it's no less secure than what Dash uses, so that this point they are on par.

The way I understand it, there is still a way to determine the exact amount of coins in circulation without breaking anyone's anonymity in the process.

+1 signature post well played


Dash.... nah I wont bother for a change.

We better fix these imaginary problems quickly!


WTF are they doing in the research group. Writing and testing white papers and concepts, when they should be imagining and presuming things.

Signature post? Do you realize that I haven't posted on this forum for months, if I would be after signature referrals, I would have not been inactive for so long.

No, I have just bought more Monero a couple weeks ago, and my Monero holdings are now big enough to be concerned about risks like that.

Yeah so I must be a troll for pointing out potential risks here ,which have already happened in the past by the way, so I am not pulling things out of my ass.

This criticism makes it sound like you are talking about ZCash not Monero.

Hahah, Zcash is not even worth discussing  Cheesy


That post is from last year. This issue has long since been addressed, and only applied to people running RPC wallets (generally exchanges, etc.) and even then only in an insecure setting (no isolated VM/container, same system as a browser, etc.)

Also this was not any sort of "encryption" or cryptography bug, and arguably not a bug at all. If you tell the wallet to open up a port to listen for commands (is not, and never was the default behavior), then you better secure access to the port.


Wasn't it like the latest Electrum bug where any wallet was exposed to theft if they ran a website together with the wallet.

In the Electrum bug the wallet was exposed just with an open Firefox window.

Wasn't that the case for Monero in that past year bug? I am confused about the RPC stuff.
492  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: January 11, 2018, 06:58:05 PM

0MG!!! this is horrible! Sell!!!

Hey I asked a serious question here. I want Monero to succeed, but if the potential bugs and potential future encryption weaknesses are not adressed, then it won't. All it takes is 1 vulnerability in the protocol, and every transaction becomes deanonymized. Kind of a massive risk, for a privacy coin.


I agree.  We should all panic dump and nobody should ever buy Monnero again!

The Monerro Enterprise Alliance is worse than if the Ethereum Foundation and Dash Core mated and produced a scam-baby.

I hold both Dash and Monero, so we shall see which one performs better.


The first link however is interesting. I wasn't aware of that. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

There was something else too, I can't find the link, where there was some bug in the previous hardforked editions that is why one of the hardforks happened to fix that bug.

It didn't deanonymized Monero, but it severely weakened the encryption scheme.

It has been fixed ,but we don't know whether something similar will happen in the future, that is why I am concerned.

Monero already had an encryption based vulnerability in the past.

And this is just the smaller bugs, who knows what kind of backdoors or vulnerabilities the encryption scheme might have. It's very new technology so it hasn't been researched a lot by many scientists.

I'd not be surprized if Monero would be totally broken in the next 5 years by a cyptographic research group.




495  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: January 09, 2018, 06:52:54 PM
When will a new Monero wallet be released, it seems like the HH release is pretty old.

No new bugfixes and patches since then?

I would like to see more security bugfixes, there is no way that Monero is perfect security wise. Are we going to see updates soon?

You can build from master whenever you want. Any critical security issues would get a point release. Next major release in a couple of months I think.

Master doesn't always compile does it. I avoid running in-development branches, since they always have some slight bugs in them. I wait for a normal release.



Well if there is no way there is not security flaws then find them and point them out and claim the bounty.


I don't know I am not a professional programmer. But I bet there are plenty of security flaws.

I would guess some of the encryption stuff should be more verified and looked into. Monero already had an encryption based vulnerability in the past, it could weaken anonymity, so that is a massive risk point. I would look into that if I would be a developer.
496  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DASH] Dash (dash.org) | First Self-Funding Self-Governing Crypto Currency on: January 09, 2018, 06:48:56 PM
Dash and Monero are at similar volumes now, I wonder which one will win, it's a head to head fight. (best to be diversified though)
What fight? Man, It's long road for M to be comparable here...
But you guys still come here to do your sad marketing.
Live it to Icey, he is best you had.
Hi Icey!

I personally dont care about the infighting, I am smart and bought both coins, so whichever wins, I win.

Both coins share a distinct ideology and roadmap, so yes it's faulty to compare them, although Monero is specifically a pivacy coin, while Dash is now marketing itself as something else.

I liked the charify projects that you guys setup for the flood victims in the US, so that is definitely a good karma.

What is happening is that I made 400% profit so far, and I am very happy about it, looking forward for more.

I have no doubt this coin might skyrocket in 2018. The roadmap is fantastic and I am very excited about it.

I wasnt active here, I just held and lean back and watch the progress.
