and what's this fixation with the jews... a phantasm? readmore !

you dream all night long about jews?

A large swath of very powerful Jews consider themselves to be at war with both whites and nationalism. Not to be confused with white nationalists. I mean the white race generally and the idea of a world comprised of nation based political units. So yea, considering many of their most powerful members are at war with us, it's not that unreasonable to be fixated on them. If you don't believe it go watch their media for a few minutes or attend one of their universities and see what they are teaching these days.

What do you guys think.  Way less hashpower hitting the network, yet so much more decentralized.  Web miners suddenly more profitable.

I think ASIC resistance is a positive thing for the project... but what does this do to the price?

Yea I mean hash power is not a goal it's a means to an end. The end is decentralization. We now have more of that than we did before, ergo Monero is now more secure with less hash power. That ought to be price positive I think. I don't see why it wouldn't be.

A thing of beauty!

don't believe the hype

One of these days it'll be real. Could be this one but probably not this one. One of these days one of the ones that it probably isn't will be the one that it is.

Here an ETH miner helping Monero network. My 470/480 rigs mining XMR till 720 blocks.

Regards.

Thank's buddy! That is much appreciated.

This seems to be par for the course in the altcoin community. Does anyone know of any other altcoins that are being developed by serious professionals besides Monero? Random jr members need not reply. Interested in what the regulars think.

Grin is top of the list... actually the entire list. It checks most boxes. Their approach is novel. It's a ground up project. Anonymous creator. Active open source development. Fair launch. Egalitarian mining using Cuckoo cycle. They expect impressive privacy and scaling properties that are not disputed by reputable developers. In my opinion, their economic policy is a huge mistake, but Grin is a self described minimal implementation. A mimble wimble fork with a sound monetary policy and the right developers could be very interesting.

Apologies for my random Jr. member status.

Jr. Member gives correct answer. Was not expecting that. Well played.

What is the best resource for watching changes in hashrate? I found this https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/monero-hashrate.html#3m but it doesn't have enough resolution for this situation.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean that you won't have consequences of whatever you want to express or say.
You are so right. In a muslim country where you will be killed for blaspheming you still have freedom of speech just not freedom from the consequence of being murdered for exercising your freedom of speech. Freedom of speech and freedom from consequences for exercising freedom of speech are so totally different. How did I not see it before. /sarc

If you are trying to argue something like social ostracism is a legitimate consequence than I would agree with that. Realistically, it depends what sorts of consequences you are talking about.

Wait werent you just making fun of us for being rednecks a minute ago? I have nothing against saying y'all or rednecks. It's just a bit ironic. Cheesy

Whereas to me, it means having the gonads to stand up and confront anything that's not right and having the "skin" for whatever comes right back as a consequence.
So what exactly is "not right" about making fun of retards? Please show me the victim.  No victim no crime. I wouldn't intentionally hurt one's feelings to his face just to be mean. That wouldn't be wrong on the grounds of some principle about not making fun of retards, it would be wrong on the grounds of being a dick. Wrong in a similar way to burping loudly in public.

sicker in the head than those born with ID
Bro... Wtf... That's not cool. You shouldn't talk about disabled people like that. If you think it's ok to say things like "sicker in the head than those born with ID", then I surmise that you are sicker in the head than those born with ID.



But hey this is getting pretty wildly off topic. I would just like to wrap it up by pointing out that the only way to fight for free speech is by saying things that offend people, things that are uncomfortable. You don't defend free speech by talking about the weather. You defend it in places were people would contest whether you should be able to say it. You are more or less arguing that we shouldn't have said what we said. Which is some evidence that it was a good thing that we said it, atleast in so far as furthering the fight for free speech is concerned. Maybe it had other negative effects, but I can live with that, almost any price is worth paying to defend free speech.

There is nothing cool or funny about deridingly using people born with intellectual developmental disorder to mock yet another unfortunate group of people.

Well there definitely is something funny about seeing people get offended by people "deridingly using people born with intellectual developmental disorder". Everything can be funny anything can be the butt of a joke. If I had cancer I would still laugh at cancer jokes. You shouldn't be that surprised that someone like me would be involved in a project like this. Normies are the last people who would have their freedom of speech threatened. Edgy mc edgelord me will be the first of the chopping block. And what is a project like this even about if not freedom of speech?

Goodmourning everyone. Just logged in on the exchange and noticed that my buy order @  €5252,-  got triggered  Grin And it already bounced back up. Nice way to start the day. Happy easter everyone! Grin



That will be very cool if you pegged the bottom like that.

I guess people who are unfortunate and poor enough to not own 64-bit machines are also incapable of installing 64-bit OS. Is that pretty much a reflection of the image you included in your post which is of a TV series character (or someone resembling him) who has some form of intellectual disability? Yet, you claim that it has nothing to do with elitism; perhaps it's worse...prejudice maybe. Does everybody like Linux? I, for one, am not too keen on Linux's intuitiveness or user-friendliness (or lack thereof) compared to mainstream OSes. Sure, I tinker with it because I have to...to a certain extent. Surely, you can't expect everybody who only owns 32-bit machines to be as tech savvy as you are.
My point was that it is not unreasonable to ask those rare few people (people who want to run monero on 32 bit machines) to just use the CLI.


Edit: The image you posted is offensive, unnecessary and uncalled for.
Haha awesome! That picture was funny before someone got offended. Now it's HILARIOUS. Oman I love it when people get offended. So funny.

I wonder what "getting offended" feels like. I don't think it has ever happened to me before.

StealthPay gives you the possibility buy Monero with cash if you are registered on Bittrex.

Here are the steps to go:

1) Get a XST address on Bittrex.
2) Buy StealthCoin with cash transfer here: http://www.stealthpay.com/buyxst (Western Union, MoneyGram, Contact, Unistream, Ria Money Transfer, Leader, Sigue Money Transfer, Intel Express)
3) Exchange XST (StealthCoin) to BTC on Bittrex.
4) Buy Monero with BTC.

No limits. Enjoy.

Wow. If someone can confirm that this works please do! I'll totally forgive this guy plugging his coin here if this actually works.

I'm curious how everyone views BTC, XMR, etc. correlating with the global economy... For some reason it seems to be following the DOW at least.  To me it seems to make sense... the more people are feeling confident in the economy, people tend to be willing to throw their money around and into investments, and therefore cryptos.

Right now bitcoin is thought of as just another tech stock. It probably would be more closely correlated with the NASDAQ than the DOW.

Hooray!!! Coins for sale!

(in USD that is...)

Damn blood in the streets tonight. Shit, sorry I even looked. Smiley

I know. It's damn painful.  I wish I was good at trading. Fortunes to be made here.  But I can only sit and watch my little pile shrink away.

I mean, idk if it's that people are "good at trading". I think the big secret is that trading isn't hard. Like as far as in an intelligence test sort of way. Someone with an IQ of 90 can probably identify a trend and see when people are getting overly greedy at the top and when people are being overly dramatic at the bottom. And that's all you really have to be able to do from a technical standpoint.

You don't need to be able to nail the bottom or the top. Say you bought your bitcoin at 1000 and sold at 10,000. It doesn't matter that it later went to 20,000. The fact that you didn't hold out for 20,000 is no condemnation. You made 10 times your money. That's really damn good! Then say you buy back in at 5000 and it goes to 2,000. It doesn't matter that it later went to 2,000. You just doubled your bitcoins! That's really damn good. And how hard would have been to hit those targets in that scenario? Would that fellow have been a genius? I think not. A genius would have threaded the needed on the top and bottom or something. Look at how much room our guy had to find success with out being the sort of genius necessary to hit the tops and bottoms perfectly.

I think it's just our emotions that screw us over. How ridiculous is it to judge ourselves based on the fact that if we were omniscient beings we could have made more money than we did. But that's what almost everyone does! At some level our strategies tend to be informed by that mindset. I'm not the first one to point this out, but perfect is the enemy of good. I think all anyone with an IQ above 90 has to to do to be successful is learn how to "turn off" their emotions. Like all of them. Go full psychopath when you log onto an exchange. If you feel like you are feeling any feelings at all, stop, logoff, and figure out how to get them under control before you log back on. And when you make money, any amount of money, feel good about yourself, you deserve it. Don't hold yourself to some sort of self destructive standard and expectation. I think that when you let go of that mindset you may find the sort of success that you were actually looking for when you had that mindset, or at least much closer to it than you would have had with it.

Well anyway. ./rantoff

Yeah.  This is exactly what I mean.  For example:
I know now is a pretty damn good time to buy.  
I am pretty sure now is not the very BEST time either...  I think we have yet to see that in this particular cycle.  

But if I were to add to my position now I would benefit.

My problem are the emotions.  I will second guess myself and wring my hands over a trade and ultimately make a bad decision because of it.

For me the best route is to analyze  the longer trend, take a position and stick to it.  Less trading.  More holding.

Yea there is some sort of quote out there about how if you are trading often than you are doing it wrong. Humans can not compete with machines on the micro scale. You will just get your ass handed to you by AI. But AI can't see the bigger picture in the way that humans can. So we still have a niche. For now...

There is a very good chance, probably better than not, that being forced to wait will end up being a blessing.
618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: March 30, 2018, 01:24:34 PM
Why does Monero not have a 32-bit visual client for Windows? Developers apparently forgot that in the yard of the 21st century and fuck with the command line no one will.

Who has a 32 bit machine in 2018?
obviously that guy. but CLI is too retro!

Right! The most retro dude ever turns his nose up at the CLI. That is funny.

Anyway... I feel like it is reasonable to expect the one guy left in the world with a 32 bit machine to just use the CLI.

Yea I really wanted to see the bounce off of 6000. This bouncing early makes the whole thing suspect. Wish someone could have held their load for a few hundred more dollars.
620  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 30, 2018, 05:38:22 AM
Will you look at that. That's a nice bounce. I wonder if the bitcoin rocket only needed to come on such a low orbit path for slingshot gravity assist. That's how rockets work right?
