The other part of the point, is that regardless of FP, Monero does its thing. Yeah, he fucked the price for a while. Monero still works great though. While I did suspect him of trolling, I still bought some around ~0.021. They will be under water for a few hours/days/months, but after 3 years in Monero, I'm pretty used to it AND I am responsible for my own trading decisions.
If like me you're playing big money in cryptos I can only advise you to be careful. Monero is badly led. FluffyPony may be a smart guy. Intellectually speaking. Yet he's still a greasy and unpredictable imbecile. It's not only about what happened tonight. That guy never inspired me anything positive. The more I see him the more I feel like he's going to fuck me in the ass. I prefer to play it safe. Even if it jumps to 200$ next year fuck off. Good luck. You feel entitled, and that's why Fluffypony had to tie you to a stake and burn you to a crisp. A sacrifice, if you will, to the Goddess of Chaos and Irrational Exuberance (ie Hubris). Monero obviously isn't for you. Dash, which it's emphasis on marketing and paucity of technology, seems a better fit.  |

Like we need a lecture from him on the merits of FOSS. At what point did he decide we need to be patronized to this extent? He really needs to get over his troll thing.
If Monero is to become a global currency - one that's actually useful to people - FP needs to grow the fuck up.
Couldn't agree more. Whether he likes it or not, he's the public face of Monero, and a stunt like this really hurts Monero's reputation. This is glorious. Fluffy is now tied with Samson and Peter for the Best Troll award.  Just look at all you snowflakes melting into frothy puddles of liquid rage. Mission accomplished!!!  |

First of all, I apologize for the amount of time that has passed since my ability to update this thread and the donation list. In light of that, I am sad to have to say that the time really has come for me to stop having the official capacity of updating this list. I know that it is very important to many. And I know that many have given the equivalent how many thousands of dollars to the development of this excellent cryptocurrency. So, at this time I would like to take applicants for my replacement. How should we, the community, choose the person who should Shepard this task from here on out?
I have recently added up the hours I have spent updating this list. It surprised me. It is not a trivial job, but it isn't that much of a load for someone who has the time to do it.
Bump. Who will step up to help keep Monero Wild & Free?  |

XMR is making come back in market to bounce back or it is routine movement will be clear in couple of days. Some friend asked about Monero what is special in this except anonymous. I will say having features alone is nothing unless you are backed by community and investors to sustain the market and value. Monero has these both things.
Time to introduce your friend to the concept of fungibility. As part of Aristotle's criteria for Good Money, fungibility is much more important than its side effect of privacy/anonymity. |

dash going back to 0.1btc?
No. Absolutely not. At 0.099, I will short Dash until it cries Uncle. This instamined scam has no business being anywhere above zero dollars in market cap. Dash's Bus Factor = 1. This will be clear to all when Duffield is frogmarched into federal custody.  |

1. There are a few Dash whales who use their Instamine riches to short XMR rallies because they blame us for making the public aware of their scam's history+risks.
I am loathe to agree on this point. Surely they would recognize that in the long run, dampening volatility would only make xmr a more attractive long-term hold... I admit that it often appears as though this, or something like it, is true. But if so, I can happily take comfort in the longer term blowback effects. The market has a way of taking revenge. And it doesn't really matter to me whether we get to 100 next week or next year. The DASH FOUNDATION INC guys are poker sharks and Dash is the token for their whale games. By pumping the price of Dash they create the amplified leverage required to scare off any XMR longs. It seems crazy to us nerds, but the DashHoles are *NOT* here for the tech, only the scam and its short term fiat profits. This is their smooth/aminorex equivalent thought leader, in action with peak technical incompetence! ...The LN is a decentralized system for instant, high-volume micropayments that removes the risk of delegating custody of funds to trusted third parties. Hey, it's just like transacting on an exchange ! 3rd parties hold your coins off-chain, therefore instant a promise that you'll get your coins back if anything goes 'wonky' only works if the other guy's on it as well inconsistent interface with native client inconsistent performance with native client basically 2 ways of doing everything just to screw clueless 'noobs' who've no idea which is the 'real' one Should be good ! Literally everything he wrote is wrong, except for the sarcastic "should be good" bit. |

I have been waiting since May 16th for a GAME withdrawal on Mt. Polo
My withdrawal is time-sensitive. They say withdrawals are approved within 72 hours. That is a complete lie.
I've created a support ticket, I've emailed asking for an update. There has been ZERO communication from them. It's been 6 days and no response with withdrawal awaiting approval.
Again my withdrawal is time sensitive and I am experiencing financial harm because of this. If this causes me financial harm great enough, I will take you to court in Delaware or wherever you are.
Don't rely on 3rd parties if you have time-sensitive liquidity requirements. Polo is not your personal banker. Poloniex Cryptocurrency Exchange

Users currently online: 41053 See? They have 10s of 1000s of people online RIGHT NOW. Please get a grip and attempt to understand the situation beyond your POV. There are many many sites outside of the Cryptocurrency world that handle 40k users online and consider it a light or even a very light load. Poloniex needs to put a LOT more effort into getting scaled up into a platform that can handle the load they have - they have been FAILING FOR MONTHS at that. I hesitate to think how many users Amazon.com has online during Christmas Buying Season peaks - apparently some morons tried to DDoS Amazon once in November and Amazon had to check their logs to notice. You are seriously expecting a new exchange for cutting-edge crypto, experiencing ("ZOMG FOUR MOONTHS!!11!") unprecedented volume and load, to handle it like E*trade or Charles Schwab's OptionsXpress? Oh puh-leez.  Mange your unrealistic expectations. This is crypto, not retail. Poloniex is not Amazon or NASDAQ (yet  ). Polo's explosive volume/load may continue for many more months. Better get used to the growing pains. If you can't, perhaps Polo just isn't for you. Try https://bitsquare.io/ instead, it's decentralized! |

why has Monero missed out on these big pumps? I get that the pumps are irrational. I understand that there's a lot to be said for a currency that's stable and so on. I realize that sharp increases in prices are not healthy for the long term ecosystem.
All that said, the majority of traders on Polo et al, wouldn't know fungibility from a hole in the ground, much less care. So, given that they're willing to buy anything with a pulse, why not Monero? Why hasn't this madness pumped our currency? It seems more than odd. It seems...deliberate.
I'm beginning to think that there are entities who, either out of fear, spite, or revenge, are deliberately keeping our price down. And honestly, I'm usually not the sort of person given to conspiracy theories.
I won't name names, but dash it all, isn't this the most likely reason?
First of all, Monero didn't miss out on these big pumps. Monero started the current mega-bull market; it is not lagging in annual performance. 1. There are a few Dash whales who use their Instamine riches to short XMR rallies because they blame us for making the public aware of their scam's history+risks. 2. XMR has the best (ie widest) distribution of any coin thanks to its fair launch, egalitarian PoW, high early emission, and long term of low prices. This means there are more weak hands ready to take profit on every price advance. 3. Untracable XMR is the coin of choice for botnet/malware mining, creating a steady steam of coins sold soon after being mined. |

can dash do some marketing like Dash network vs LTC's lightning network or something along that
I'd love to hear Duffield try to explain how his EvoluSham vaporware is going to compete with Litening, an actually existing and production-ready protocol for instant on-chain transactions. He'll probably promise to get segwit on Dash Soonฎ and dump more Instamined coins, but then not actually code anything just like he did with the 2MB blocksize increase. Here's what EvoluSham (which doesn't have so much as a whitepaper for peers to review, much less code) is up against: What is the Lightning Network?
The LN is a decentralized system for instant, high-volume micropayments that removes the risk of delegating custody of funds to trusted third parties. The benefits of these instant and scalable blockchain transactions are summarised below from lightning.network website.
Instant Payments. Lightning-fast blockchain payments without worrying about block confirmation times. Security is enforced by blockchain smart-contracts without creating a on-blockchain transaction for individual payments. Payment speed measured in milliseconds to seconds.
Scalability. Capable of millions to billions of transactions per second across the network. Capacity blows away legacy payment rails by many orders of magnitude. Attaching payment per action/click is now possible without custodians.
Low Cost. By transacting and settling off-blockchain, the Lightning Network allows for exceptionally low fees, which allows for emerging use cases such as instant micropayments.
Cross Blockchains. Cross-chain atomic swaps can occur off-chain instantly with heterogeneous blockchain consensus rules. So long as the chains can support the same cryptographic hash function, it is possible to make transactions across blockchains without trust in 3rd party custodians.
Maybe Dash PonziNode owners should follow Decred's example and VOTE to get segwit+Lightning on their network? Nah, that would made Dear Leader look bad... Oh wait... 99% of Decred stake holders are voting Yes ( https://voting.decred.org/). It would be bizarre and crazy for Dash Masternode owners to decide differently, unless they want Dash to stay crippled and obsolete. I guess music videos are more important? |

Is it possible Counterparty may be modified for Lightning Network to speed up tx? |

Looking forward: A better Android experience would make it competitive as walking-around money. Intrinsic multisig - as opposed to a multisig wrapper - and a 1.0 gui would make it a robust competitor for the role of global digital currency in a post- central banking future. (My own pet speculation is that counterparty failure chains in the imminent deflationary/hyperinflationary cycle will spell the end of Nixon's experimental debt-based monetary system, in the principal developed economies.)
I must say, I greatly underestimated the practical and market value of RingCT. I had not fully appreciated how leaky the boat was before RingCT, but I certainly do appreciate how sea-worthy it is today.
Bitcoin replaces central banking ($21 trillion in assets). Litecoin replaces retail banking ($12 trillion in FDIC). Monero replaces private banking ($15 trillion in AUM). |

As I predicted, Dash's decline continues as Litecoin activates segwit & Lightning.  |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVzggP7k3foTotally disagree, this marketing gone bad, looking from all the down votes many people agree. This video should also not have been posted on Dash digital as well. The music is just terrible and it sticks in my mind to (yes music is quite personal, but is way to far of base) If I am missing something here please tell. Otherwise please take it down If this video gets taken down I will put it back up. It must be kept online as a testament to all that is wrong with Dash and those who shill for it. It's difficult for words to express the levels of cringe here, but some brave Youtube commenters have made attempts. It's one thing for Dash to prioritize marketing over technology. It's another thing for Dash to absolutely suck at technology *AND* have atrociously awful marketing. Dash has zero appeal to high-information types, especially Bitcoiners who have seen many scamcoins come and go. In the worst traditions of Scamanda's pumping, this video demonstrates Dash's only hope of selling itself is to bamboozle ignorant people who are stupid and greedy enough to buy in based on cheesy marketing. Holy fuck ice... Shout up with your bullshit already. Your far more cringe worthy then that video will ever be. Calm your tits BigR, I'm only reacting to what other people said about that gawd-awful music video. NMF it sucks, LOL. Maybe you're also mad about Dash losing the contest to be listed on BTCC?  Don't worry, Evan can just Instamine more SuperBlocks and bribe Bobby Lee to list Dash! |

The fucking mooks on poloniex have stolen my coins, I'm $250 out of pocket and the cunts banhammered me when I asked them to sort it.
48 hours of fucking grief from this shitty exchange, the site is fucked, get your coins out before we see another Gox...
Trollbox would suck if it was full of impatient children screaming about their unmet customer support demands regarding trivial 0.125 BTC accounts. That's why you got banhammered the fuck out. Try approaching the situation like an adult and consider perspectives other than your own. https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.05.16-Industry-growth-and-its-effect-on-Poloniex/As trading activity multiplies with an expanding userbase, exchange staff and support grow only as fast as human resources can hire.

I don't know what to think about polo. 800 xmr withdrawal stuck for four and a half days. I called the FTC and the SEC and got nowhere. Then I called the Fraud and Consumer Protection unit of the Delaware Attorney General's office. The number is (302) 577-8600. I left a message stating that a Delaware corporation may be committing fraud on its customers, and gave the name of the corporation (poloniex) and the name and address of the registered agent in Delaware that Poloniex uses,
VCORP Services LLC
1013 CENTRE ROAD SUITE 403-B
Wilmington DE 19805
Join me filing a complaint. Or if you have a better idea how to light a fire under polo, I'd like to know.
You waited all of 4.5 days before throwing a tantrum and bothering a bunch of clueless .guv bureaucrats about your precious magical internet money?  Talk about high time preferences; sounds like you gambled more than you could afford to lose. Keep calm and read this. https://poloniex.com/press-releases/2017.05.16-Industry-growth-and-its-effect-on-Poloniex/ |

Death cross for Dash, made and now confirmed under heavy volume:  The market is rejecting the instamined "snake oil" scamcoin. Good night DigitaltrASH. |
