No.

The low is due to capital flows timing and mass psychology (confidence and loss of it).

MA is merely pointing out that this is fuel for driving to the predicted benchmark lows (which remain unchanged).

CN uses Daniel Berstein's EdDSA (specifically curve Ed25519). Berstein has fought the USG in court and has been outspoken about threats against our cryptography freedom.

The main problem with CN is that ring signatures require equal denominations, thus Monero has to maintain power-of-10 balances, which bloats the block chain and complicates the wallet programming.

Then when you need to recombine the change from multiple transactions, if don't mix these you break unlinkability.

Also because Monero does not force all ring mixes to be mandatory amongst preset groupings, it could be subject to combinatorial attack which could unmask the anonymity. Their researchers are studying my complaint on this issue and my suggested fix.

Confidental Transactions from Blockstream hides the values of a transaction so business privacy is retained. CN doesn't do this.

No CN coins and in fact no altcoins that I am aware of, have really solved the issue that centralization of mining can cause transactions to be censored. This is an open problem for cryptocurrency.

The other problem for all anonymous coins is that neither I2P nor Tor are reliable anonymity against a national security agency. And the nations are compiling these records to compile future tax and criminal cases against you.

(yes of course I have solutions to all of these weaknesses)

Why would you give up? Selling and repurchasing at lower prices is giving up?

Or do you mean that you bought at higher prices and feel not good about selling at a loss?

P.S. the only argument I could make for why altcoins would not go down while BTC and gold are, is that it might be more difficult to short them? I don't know.

I hope all of you have reviewed my posts in the kLee's PnF thread in the Economics -> Speculation forum.

You will find there people who will verify that I have predicted all of the major moves of the BTC price since the top last 2013. For example, I predicted the $315 top recently for the bounce exactly. And I made that prediction back in May when we were loitering in the low $200s.

You might also view my prescient public prediction for silver back in 2010 predicting the rise from $26 to $48 by March to May 2011 and then a fall to $26:

I am able to do this by understanding very well both group psychology and more importantly because I understand Martin Armstrong's $1 billion supercomputer model of the history of the world, which for example predicted the closing price of oil at $54 for Dec. 31, 2014, back when oil was $100. I distinctly remember reading his blog back in August 2012 when the DJIA was correcting back below 12,000 and he predicted a steady rise from there to a possible double or triple. He also said that if it topped @ 18,000 in 2015, then that would be the sign that the USA stock markets had phase shifted (from being a public asset such as sovereign bonds) and aligned with private assets (such as gold, collectibles, Bitcoin). The point being that private assets peaked in 2011 (Bitcoin 2013 because it was playing catch up) and they will make their lows as the liquidity crisis accelerates and the final move into the short-end of the yield curve for bonds in Europe this October.

So gold, Bitcoin, and altcoins will be making their lows this coming spring 2016. This is 100% certain.

Expect gold to drop to < $700 ($680), Bitcoin will drop to double-digits again, and altcoins will be demolished fall to perhaps 1/5 their current prices.

So do NOT buy altcoins now. You want to be selling everything and moving to $dollars and wait.

As the Europe crisis accelerates this September - January, cash will be king. Japan will follow for its final leg down on its 26 year crisis culmination.

All over the world, capital is going to be stampeding into the $dollar and then USA stocks as safe haven. By 2017.9, we will see the DJIA double in price.

Private assets such as Bitcoin and gold, will get sold off severely because the shorts will pile on once they smell blood. The bottom will be reached by short covering, not by bulls. The bulls will be exhausted and have lost most of their capital by selling at the lows (which is what always happens to delusional fools who believe in an investing GOD as if BITGOD is something that can disobey the normal laws of investing).

I am telling you this because I want you to reserve some $dollar cash, so that you will be able to buy BTC and any world changing altcoin in Spring 2016 and become incredibly wealthy.

Ignore my warning at your peril!

Individuals can't do that much bad against a society where citizens can carry guns.

Rather it is the collective organization of individuals that empowers the State to have the might to enact horrific megadeath.

Indeed per the linked video, the State is going to collapse into a NWO eugenics hell. I have written extensively about this.

So what is your plan to avoid being persecuted as the totalitarianism tries to retain control and attempt to drag everyone down with it using extreme violence?

Will you just allow them to kill you?

Non-defense is not always a solution to aggression.

Hitler rolled over pacifists like a hot knife through butter.


Your conceptualization of the issue is low IQ.

It is the power vacuum of organization that forces a power to fill it.

I suggest you read Eric Raymond, a man with a 150 - 160 IQ explain the issue of the Logic of Collective Action:

http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=984

Our hope now is for decentralization technologies to enable man to organize without the existance of a power vacuum. All my work in crypto is about his. This is why an anonymous internet and money is a movement and not just a fascination.

RealBitcoin, you attributed my statement about socialist pigs to username18333. I wrote that, not him.

I am bothered by second guessing myself about whether I am rational about the severity of the coming problems in the world.

For example the recent discussion between trollercoaster and myself, wherein it is about him pulling up roots from a very first-class lifestyle country (Australia) with contemplation of exchanging it for a lower lifestyle country and lower standard-of-living (although I will say I love the simple life, so a farm isn't necessarily lower standard-of-living from my perspective).

Will the world really get so totalitarian that it is necessary to make such radical changes to our lives?

One would tend to think that society will get pushed to a certain point and then society will change or demand adjustments because people all over the world don't want to live in some sort of totalitarian hell.

Yet we have examples from history where society went F.U.B.A.R.. For example WW1 and then later WW2 were essentially due to the European socialism that resulted trying to resist the technological unemployment of the Second Industrial Revolution (mass production and the end of cottage industry).

Sound familiar?

We are repeating the same. Europe is resisting the technological unemployment of the Second Computer Revolution (aka internet and Knowledge Age) by increasing socialism to sustain old engrained patterns (of the baby boomers).

Nature cleans out the old to make way for the new, and when the old refuses to adjust nature cleans it out with the necessary force.

Unfortunately boomers and socialists will not change. They'd rather die than give up their humanistic ideas. They firmly believe theirs was the righteous.

Ideological fanaticism is what drives horrific outcomes. We have that in spades at this juncture...

Don't worry, I have my entirely life excelled at understanding this point. Go look at the marketing for CoolPage.com. The surfer dude is to represent that you don't have time for mucking around with HTML coding and just want to drag+drop items on your web page, click one button to publish and be done with it.

I was servicing Yahoo GeoCities and other free hosting with one-click web site creation back in 1999.

For example, I already made decisions about the language chosen for crypto work to make sure that all clients can run both in the web browser and stand alone.

Newbies don't want to wade through any technobabble. They want to click one button and go. It must literally be that easy. No one should ever have to know a damn thing about a Linux command line or how to compile from sources, etc..


If I take breaks, the work won't get done in time.

My M.S. really went bezerk today. I eyes were so blood shot that there was no white just red. My feet were in severe cramps.

I had backed off the vitamin D3 over recent weeks. Also hadn't eaten any carrots for weeks. I took 100,000 IU today and ate two carrots, also made sure to eat the uncooked leafy greens. Am able to see slightly better now.

I think I am barely controlling the M.S. with the vitamin D3 et al.

I need to go for that fecal transplant. I can't emphasize enough that I would perhaps 3 - 5X more productive if I could get the M.S. into remission.

I will be talking with my investors about funding me to go to Australia, perhaps in September. I think I've reached the point where it doesn't make any sense to try to make it all the way to the finish line for crypto work before attempting a cure. I really need my full speed productivity. It is very difficult for me to will a project to completion with this illness. I making progress but the malaise so much retards the process as compared to before I was ill.

I do better (than others and) damn well for having M.S.. I probably outperform most healthy people even in terms of my athletics at this age 50. But this is no where near what I am capable of. I feel without the M.S. my level is still in my late 30s. I've seen glimpses on days where I wasn't suffering malaise where my performances were no less than where I was in my late 30s both in athletics and in coding/mental work.

Also I can see a big drop off in my writing and intellectualism just since I wrote the essays linked from the opening post of the Economics Devastation thread. My understanding may have become more firm, but my elucidation and ability to think in a very high IQ manner is getting more sporadic.

I pray I can get the support I need to be successful. And I pray that those who are capable of doing it, have read my upthread posts recently about computer security and have implemented proper computer security.

No excuses.

We are losing precious time! Gaming won't accomplish the goal.

P.S. thank you for your concern. My concern is being able to do the job I want and need to do. I really want to work. I am extremely motivated. Very frustrating to have M.S. at this juncture when the opportunity is so very well fit to my talent, knowledge, timing, and desire.

I hope all of you have reviewed my posts in the kLee's PnF thread in the Economics -> Speculation forum.
