mfqrs3: tanks for confirming the image was fake. Now i feel good about my holdings again, really glad i own almost 500XMR now, will try to mine some more this month. Your emotions appear to be too intertwined with your decision making.
It is a good idea never to allow that to happen and to not invest any funds you cannot afford to lose.
For this reason i have rules i follow when i trade, the last time i broke my rule i lost money(small amount, learning isn't free). Do you pay for everything you learn? Early on google taught me many things simply by searching via keywords...FOR FREE |

lots of blabla  I think N-rG, moneylooser and maybe some other pretty newbie-accounts are all sockpuppets of one person... funny that both alpha-accounts joined on the same day... coincidence? dude... wtf... I'm just now seeing something weird in that posted picture... next to 'Vendor' it should be "oN" Oct, yours says or (part of the on disapperead)... any explanation for this? edit: WTF, and the admin account and yamaha sent at exactly the same time: "13:55" don't really got words for this, but I think you just got busted dude... edit: posted the admin-message, so it's easier to compare:  edit: just did some further research... N-rg and his sockpuppets (moneylooser I'm sure off) are full of shit and post fake-'evidence'... don't trust anything that comes out of their mouths... best regards Lol someone got busted Probably need to repost another image of TheKoziTwo's graph of N-rG |

having xmr worth 4K $ doesn't feel that good now, i could sell without profit now but that would suck, also i only have 50% of my xmr on exchanges, this could end really bad. I should have sold for 10% profit when i could, this sucks.
Hopefully it was just fud(alphabay dropping xmr), but i am not comfortable at all now. The xmr price is already low and might not decrease that much from this point.

overall forum ad prices have fallen. But that could be because people are hoarding their BTC in anticipation of the price going higher.

@TheKoziTwo etc.
...dark markets getting shut down? Thanks for confirming your sock puppet.
Maybe you do a lot programming things (thank for that even when you insulted me) but your manners and your attitue is still bad. When you followed N-rG 1:1 you could just made good profit. I still lost ~5000 Dollars  but since i followed him i could at least lower it from 8500! But do your business i just dont like people who are mobbing others. In my country this is a criminal act btw. People kill themself cause of mobbing and get insulted. So if you think you are the "good guy here"...no you are not. Pretty sure I'm not in your country... In my country we call it the 1st Amendment. We also call posts like your's as butthurt too.

@TheKoziTwo etc.
If I would follow you and some others here, I would see my money burning and still waiting for the 10.000 USD hit.
At least you could invest your time not in FUD some Users who gives valueable advices but more in making marketing for Monero if you like it so much to paint.
That would help the community and the coin much more. Consider it. Im glad I follow him and Bitcoinmagazin and also adolf. They and very few other users were realistic and always said be careful the coin can drop more.
Hi Are you a sock puppet of N-rG? |

@smoothie. It is very clear that XMR was pumped by some people who knew about the darknet market acceptance. Do you not think that is a form of manipulation?
From what I gather it is just the market doing what it is going to do when news hits on anything relevant to XMR usage. You may call it manipulation, others may call it a free market moving "freely" without the interference of governments and financial regulators. |

Am I wrong in thinking that XMR will go down back to .005? That is where all the craziness started so maybe it will also end there. The rise above that level was clear manipulation from the people involved in the darknet market.
How exactly did they manipulate the market? By an announcement and perhaps some bids on the price? I am pretty sure this "manipulation" you speak of is just another way of attempting to rationalize an irrational market. |

Here is a very interesting article by the Electronic Frontier Foundation on "How Big Pharma's Shadow Regulation Censors the Internet" https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/09/how-big-pharmas-shadow-regulation-censors-internet The article does not mention Monero at all but it does identify the role of shadow regulation in censoring payment processors. In this case to deny medicines at an affordable price to people in need for the furtherance of corporate greed and the "protection of intellectual property". When dealing with pharmaceuticals this can in many cases be a matter of life and death. A fungible, private and anonymous, crypto currency that is not constrained by artificial limits on the number transactions per second, can actually save people's lives. At the payment processor level, yes they would not be able to censor monero payments. But there still exists the issue of censoring actual domain names and confiscation at the border when importing these prescription drugs. Thanks for the article, I had not known of such ridiculous laws. But i'm not surprised either. Apparently confiscation is not the major issue, payments and domains/hosting/blocking of sites are: In practice however, discretionary guidelines developed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and enforced by the CBP allow American consumers to import a 90-day supply of some prescription medications for personal use, including by bringing them across border checkpoints in personal luggage, or by mailing them from overseas. I guess the "major issue" must be defined by each individual as the quote you posted claims that some prescription medications are allowed to be imported in 90-day supply amounts. Not sure how much is "some". Trade wars between countries has begun and will likely accelerate over the coming years. Such a barrier at the border/customs will likely only get worse as world trade unravels due to global recession. The word "some" there refers to restrictions on types of medications. Xanax will be more of a problem (still allowed, in theory, but with added requirements) There is a ample evidence of government pressure on the payments industry being used not only in this case but more generally to crack down on disfavored businesses that are legal. See Operation Chokepoint. We can't solve every problem in the world with one tool, but that that is absolutely something we can actually do something about. The word usage meant to entail that they did not clarify how much of the generalized prescription drug industry were allowed this 90-day supply. Perhaps the wording should have been "not sure which drugs are considered as 'some'". Operation Chokepoint has been on my radar for some time. That applies here for sure. And yes, monero wasn't created to solve every problem and indeed it is providing a solution to a specific subset of problems. What is baffling is that this 90-day supply allowance for some prescription drugs is the equivalent of saying: "Hey you can get the product you need to survive at a lower cost, but only in 90-day supply amounts, no more." Gee thanks Gubmint. Indeed governments are not for the people, but for the power/money/control. |

Yeah not sure. I should look up the population reports I guess.  Smoothie, are you going to do another auction, or can we buy buy numbered sets of these like your other new coin now? Edit - Thanks again for your fine work, they are amazing looking coins, definitely not selling them anytime soon! Probably do another auction. Will post here once I post it. Glad you like the coins! |

Are you new to monero too? Soon is nothing new here. I still need to buy more, so not soon is better. No, I'm not new to Monero, I've been around since pretty much the beginning in early 2014 and at one time was all in for about 16K Monero. Unfortunately, when things came to a crawl last year I "diversified" my portfolio which was a huge mistake. I've been watching, reading and learning a lot, I just rarely post. Right now, I just really need for this to hit a new ATH again and help me move a little closer to retirement. "Sometimes it's better to be quiet and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!" Hahaha... No worries my friend. If you trawl my post history, you will see me admit to dumping 15K+ xmrs a month before the halvening due to feeling overexposed. Regrets are a constant in life. Nobody can predict the future, but I'm definitely a lot more wary of selling off the remainder of what I had left. I too have been into XMR (MRO LOL) since 2014 as my history shows. You are definitely right, if only we can predict the future then we are already rich now. Anyway, I think we have to sell our Monero now, I am losing my trust already, the recent trends tells me one thing. "FAILURE", after the big pump, I think it will die soon... I hate to say this but that's how I feel. So "die" = "price goes down" Let's ignore the fact that the price is up several 100% this year still. |

Adding an option to be anonymous causes too many complications.
It has to be all or nothing in my opinion.
You might as well fork to another currency if you are going to give people an option like that.
I like the analogy that you can't be somewhat pregnant. You either are or you aren't. |

The big argument for "anon" coins will be fungibility
however its a big stretch to say anon improves fungibility  . could be easily argued anon decreases fungibility especially if anon is optional. Hence why privacy features need to be on by default for all users/addresses. |

We need the optional CT. There's no reason not to be for this. Those who are against it need to wake up.
Think about what you are proposing... Optional CT (even though it is only one layer of privacy) will still have the effects of a non-fungible currency. As blacklisters could just say "any LTC that uses (or has used CT in its entire history back to its coinable creation) CT we will blacklist and those LTC that don't, are fine". The issues isn't fixed with CT. |

Well there goes the "privacy" claims of Dash. Let's partner with a blockchain analysis company to support our privacy claims...wow just wow... |
