Nice bump.  Yes I think it reflects well on the original poster that the one exception to his claims, Monero, has done so well while the others are in various states of failure.

What sort of day will it be when monero blows past dash in market cap?  A good day I'd say, and possibly sooner than I'd thought.  

Two things. 

1.  You tell iCEBREAKER and arielwhoever whatever you like.  I don't see why anyone here needs to do that for you.  They don't belong to monero. They don't officially represent monero.

2. 

I did just the same yesterday, but your stampede may have caused half my orders not to get filled. 

Can't believe I was buying to tell the truth.  Goes against my usual strategy.  I just think this time may be special.

Perhaps implementing 2 factor would mitigate some of this.  Is the code on github?

In Engrish:

I think they are using the name of a Euro/Chinese market Ford, the "Mondeo" in that article.





But I don't know much about Chinese.

I too had a pile of Dark coin.  It was just thinking through all the "features" of Dark coin that ended up leading me away from it.  My main beef was a lot of the features look like either compromises or attack vectors to me.  When I saw Monero what I saw was a clean simple cryptological platform which only tried to do one thing differently than Bitcoin.  Since that time I have seen it improve in all the areas that are different than a typical scam coin or even something that is just hyped.  Solidified codebase and cleanup (needed), block frequency (1m to 2m) changes, research into the possible weaknesses of CN (MRL), increased privacy (Shen), new database structure (LMDB).  Zero hype.  Zero flash.

Currently I see the two biggest detractors of monero being:

1.  Single(ish) point of BTC/XMR exchange failure
This one is mitigated somewhat by the options that exist, but currently Poloniex is too much % or Monero trading.

2.  Cryptography that is less tested that Bitcoins


Like everyone else I want to see a nice functional GUI.  But that is still pretty far down my list.  That said, this would be a pretty good time to welcome the masses with a shiny, easy to use GUI.

What's funny is you've picked exactly the one time a large price rise in Monero is certainly NOT a "marketmaker pump".

This rise was based on news.  But you can do you your own DD.

25 word seed on (archival? How crazy you want to get?) paper.  Simple.

Congrats!

Was it Ex-Lax that finally got you there?

Payment IDs can be used for what you are describing.  There are less arguments for lots of addresses with monero.

I personally do not think what you are calling the ATH is really relevant.  I mean.. it will have a psychological impact, partly becvause it was ~0.01 right?  But I doubt there are more than a handful of people who bought coins at that level, and the few who did are most likely not going to unload giant tons of coins.  There was about 3kBTC in volume at that time.  We will have easily quadrupled that volume just on today...  one day...  easily 15x the average daily volume during that peak.

The real technical ATH is was really 0.0043  and if we can go a day or so up around this level I'd say we've crushed that to bits.

The fundamentals here are going to warp the technicals all to hell.  "ATH" is trivial.

The fact of the matter is:

1.  Monero is finally venturing out into actual use.
2.  Many many people who have never heard of it are hearing of it right now.

What we have to worry about is not ~.01. It is the reception of the technology as it stands in the wild.  If all the work done over the last couple years makes cryptonote a usable and stable platform which can begin to scale then we are in for a wild ride, and there's a little chance that even some of us small guppies stand to find wealth.  (If only I still held any Monero!!! glub glub)

On the other hand if the platform is too hard for the merchants and users to use, or if it breaks - Then we probably will not get another chance like this.

Vectors to consider:

1.  Blockchain scalability. 
Will the size of the blockchain become an issue?  Do we have sufficient strategies to deal with exponential growth?

2.  A single web wallet.
Most users will use mymonero.com if they do not use an exchange.  Is it robust and stable enough to handle this much more action?

3.  The usual suspects.
Thefts, NSA, Hacks, shady exchanges, etc.  These won't kill us if they happen down the road, but I believe we are vulnerable right now.

As a community member the best we can do now is to perform grassroots PR.  Hold hands with new users.  Help people set up mymonero accounts.  Let people know how to navigate the exchanges. Help them understand how to use simplewallet.  Do not expect them to have the values and skills present in most of the early adopters.  Many may not care about what OS or even the details of privacy.  Welcome them and give them what they need.  Be honest above all.  Warn people that leaving monero on an exchange is as risky as it ever has been.  Don't pretend there are not risks associated with a fledgling cryptocurrency in a post BTC worls.

Do worry so much about your bag Truecryptonaire.  Price is just one part of what were are seeing.  The really fun part, for sure... but on it's own?  Just a play.  A pump and dump.

Monero is the real thing IMHO. 

Entirely, yes.

It would most likely be treated as money laundering.  I disagree with that potential line... But that's where my money'd be.

I haven't said anything like the following in a long time...

With so many new folks about to pour into monero... getting the GUI out very SOON would be a BOON.

Nor is that a monero subreddit.

Very interesting times.  If using xmr catches on in online marketplaces the vendors who adopt earliest stand to make the most gains from the probable rise this will synergistically cause.

In the case of that sort of feedback loop, we should be aware a bubble is likely.

that's much better...

Lol. You won't make many friends 'insisting'on what people should do with their money.  How about you put something up instead.  1k xmr perhaps?

I just logged in.
