Yes, the logo is actually supposed to be round Smiley

Puts me to mind of a Hofstadter joke:

What w⬡uld this sentence l⬡⬡k like if π were 3?

Ah Godel, Escher, Bach.

Gladimor's "circle" was 2x a hexagram though...

Lets calm down- this is starting to sound like the DASH thread a week ago.

I am not sure if this is a specualtion thread. I am sorry if I wrote on the wrong thread...

Speculate away- just with reason Wink

If Monero does what it is designed for - becomes a better gold - it will have to rise 1,000,000 times higher in value.

It is hard to sound reasonable when this is the background.*

*(gold's marketcap/XMR's marketcap)



I have felt for a year that the use case for Monero as a private store of value was relatively ignored.  The one property it lacks currently for that to be the case is price stability.  But we can't have that until it agrees with me as to what it is actually worth. Wink

That's a fairly bullish event.

I wonder if they made an "Im Sorry" video to go with it. Wink

Hi

where this posible buy? in exchanger? or btc-e or some trading site?

The exchange with the best liquidity is poloniex.com  Also bittrex.com and bter.com (although bter has had recent problems... beware)

this to linux 32x ?

Not yet officially. 32bit clients will require the new build with a database which is coming soon.®

1 Bitcoin is  = 32.42  Monero (XMR) ??

more details where buy?

You decimal point is off a little.  It is closer to 324.

You guys might wanna reign in kazuki49. Just sayin'

SDC is a useless piece of scamcoin.

Baseless FUD. I thought you XMR guys were supposed to be classier than that?
Turns out this XMR supporter is a common variety garden troll…

*drops mic*

Nobody here controls what he does... I'd imagine few of us know who the hell he is.  Who told you to post here?  Should I have him reign YOU in?  See how that's kinda silly?

Don't you know how open source works fluffypony? There's a core team of developers that sit around coding all day waiting for people to tell them what to do. Jeesh

/sarcasm

Well actually, we're on a yacht. But the rest is 100% accurate.

Word...

Oh well, on to something truly interesting....

There's a new iteration of !

Excellent work!

there's always the pay 10 xmr and import your wallet into mymonero option. Just goto mymonero.org and login with your coldwallet mneumonic seed.

This joke made my day. I would not touch any online wallet with a barge pole..

Makes me want to point out a contradiction:
1) You can ballance out your risk of loosing funds by spreading across multiple online places, secure storage by high redundance.
2) The more secure you ballance out your risk of loosing funds by spreading across multiple places, the higher the likelyhood of stomping onto a Mintpal desaster, Ka-BOOM!

more secure ... higher redundance ... higher probability of loosing your funds, period. But smaller losses, too.


Last be assured you can use mymonero.org as a storage for intended dev team tips. Figure out this one on your own.

To be honest...  I would like you to go ahead and say what you mean since what you say looks like a veiled accusation... or am I feeding the troll?
5089  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 27, 2015, 08:11:54 PM


Most people that are currently mining XMR are doing so at a loss (electricity costs exceed revenue). The only logical explanation on what they do with the XMR they mine is that they hold the XMR, in expectations that it will increase in value.

I can say this because I'm a miner also.

Bolded an important word.  There are definitely miners who either do not pay for electricity or are using other's.

Ive been on this forum since 2010 and i have a total of 14 people on my ignore list, since 2010! I cant even imagine how many people are on the ignore list of people THIS sensitive. (interestingly icebreaker is one of the lucky 14)

Perhaps you should have made yourself a model of resilience and set a better example for the noobs, instead of being so delicate and sensitive?

Sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.   Wink

I am assuming that you wrote this for consumption and digestion by everyone except Anon136, as he can't read it, seeing as how you are on his ignore list.

(Maybe he can read it now that I quoted you(?)

Ah, the dramas of an online forum of nerds.

When money is involved, Now if there was only 1 Girl. :rofl:

A darkcoin dev left over the name change. What was her name?  What if *she* became a Monero dev? Wink
5093  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: rpietila Altcoin Observer on: March 26, 2015, 02:00:39 PM
The way they release the coins is also important

This is pretty much the only thing that matters.

Oh yes, if there is functioning privacy, it's nice to have. Or perhaps a wallet. But the former is impossible to ascertain for sure, and the latter is just a bonus (did both BTC and Monero for months without).

Extending TrueCryptonaires point a little... The most important part about the coin release is the transparency and honesty part.  The style of release might be favored differently by miners, investors, developers, etc. But if you are releasing the coin in any way that is shadowy and especially if you DEFEND that release or justify it then you turn over your hand.

I think of a coin that is currently in the spotlight as one which will never be able to live down it's semi nefarious roots release wise.  The coin formerly known as...

And also Monero, which arguably had a few bumps early in its release (de-optimized hashing) is interesting.  But the different between the two is the Monero release was transparent and the dev team that took over the project shone light on everything they found very quickly.

Honesty makes a huge difference.

If crypto is "being your own bank", then at first we need to be able to trust the people building the bank.

How long is it going to take, a week, month, longer ?  You should have left simplewallet x86t binary, cant sync my cold storage !@#

You can't read, don't understand or are not following for some other elemental reason.

Aha.  It's that you are dumb.  The crypto at mymonero.com is all client side.

Why am I trying to teach you?

Ah well. Wink

Oh I believed that you wouldn't have to download the blockchain on a monero app/webaccount, like blockchain.info?

I think this is a good idea.  It is the way crypto as a whole will go.  Not only Monero.

It's the one reason I use Electrum over Armory.
5096  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - 0.8.8.6 on: March 20, 2015, 01:37:05 PM
The purpose of "e cash"/Monero is to give you anonymity/privacy on online transactions. Like cash, but without the centralization. If a account app was there for Monero on the appstore, you could use it to buy w/e and retain financial privacy. Blockchain size is irrelevant concerning such things.

Well..  It's technically relevant.

Lets say we scale to 100x our current transaction traffic (And we better hope we do).  How long will it take to fill up a 32G SD card with the blockchain.

This reality will dictate the solutions to these problems...  it's relevant,  But not insurmountable IMHO.

All true, but 32 GB sd cards are pretty low end at this point. There are 512 GB sd cards already (expensive, for now).

Obviously there are other solutions too, besides just storing the whole blockchain, as you say.

And I think it's important that we cater to the lowest common denominator.  And that may be indeed much higher than a 32G SD card, but even though we are technophiles (mostly) here now, we want to shoot for the broadest acceptance possible.  Bitcoin is still a mystery to too many.  And just disseminating why Monero is worthy is a challenge of it's own.

I have been more interested in DRK since the recent drama...  and I did a renewed level of DD over it.

The fact there are SO MANY people who are willing to buy into a platform with SEVERE problems worries me.  Because if people can't understand why DRK is bad, then how will they understand why Monero is good?

Just musing a little...

5099  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: March 18, 2015, 09:26:47 PM
Everyone is too busy trading the new Gold Coins in CryptoKingdom to care much about the XMR price. In fact we want it to go down so we can get more XMR.

Those wishing for lower XMR prices in order to accumulate more XMR could very easily and without notice get sideswiped by the circus surrounding the Darkcoin to Dash re-branding.

I thought the DRK community was more or less normalizing to this change... is there new info?  i got sick of reading the drk thread.

To your second point, there has been considerable discussion about whether anything built on the bitcoin blockchain and ever be truly private. I can't think of a link right now.

Do you mean this link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=789978.msg9128190#msg9128190

ZING.

CAPSLOCK, he asked about darkNOTE, not darkCOIN

Oops.  Haha.

Well then that's easy.

Monero has first mover advantage in cryptonote.
