https://www.coindesk.com/cmes-bitcoin-futures-likely-start-trading-december-11/On the right hand side of this article on Coindesk, there is a survey asking for your vote on: 'Which cryptocurrency would you use to send a transaction you did not want anyone to know anything about?' Monero is an option and it's second. Not to Zcash, or (heaven forbid) Dash, but to Bitcoin - this is probably just noob ignorance, a lot of new people around... I actually think it's good to see that without huge marketing we are getting the message out better than the false claimants to the privacy throne, even if a lot of less aware people still think Bitcoin is 'secret'. I think the people who need to know, know--the wave has yet to reach those in the shallow end. |

Hi ! Why the price of monero grow fast these days ? do you know people ? i dont see a big news ..
The only thing preventing monero from being the dominant darknet currency was a lack of multisig. Multisig is particularly important for darknet transactions and particularly tricky for monero to implement. Fortunately despite the difficulty our amazing devs are preparing to push multisig support out onto the main net very soon. As stated a few posts above. Not just soon(tm) actually soon. This is very very big news. It's starting to be priced in but I do not think the implications of it are anywhere near all the way priced in. Monero is soon going to be the first cryptocurrency to see significant real world use since bitcoin. Thank you for these explanations very clear, it makes me clearly want to ask what I can on before it goes up too high .. Do you know if users of darknet sites today use more monero or bitcoin? This is good fodder for speculation. I'm going to move the conversation over there and lets see if anyone has any idea over there. Does anyone have a feel for the darknets? How common is monero over there? Is bitcoin still dominant? If so how close is monero behind it? Not sure where you'd get stats, but this shows an uptick in markets accepting moneroj: https://www.deepdotweb.com/2013/10/28/updated-llist-of-hidden-marketplaces-tor-i2p/ |

I would rather rely on a proven system that takes <1% annually than use "fingers crossed guys!" Bitcoin folks have always been chimerical about the cap, but I always assumed Satoshi knew it was just a way to get the greedy into the door.

I love IOTA since it is something new. I have yet to invest so I am hoping for a dorp so I can get in. It seems IOTA is still early in the making. Is it really worth > 1B in market cap? Or is muhc potential already baked into the price?
Cautious estimates for IOT are in the 10 Trillion range, so hundreds of Billions means IOTA only captured a small percentage of the market. |

A dollar looks imminent.
Yes when IOTA breaks the ATH at 1.10 USD everything is possible. IOTA enables one to send transactions without fees. BTC looks archaic compared to this. As IOTA hodler I can only laugh about the fight between BTC and BCH. In 2 years from now both will be obsolete. 2 years seems generous. AFAIK Bitcoin is already obsolete and has lowered itself to the "store of wealth," argument. The darkmarkets were its one use case and that is gone. The whole idea that everyone is going keep using an expensive and slow network because it has brand recognition (or the good of all cryptodom) is absurd--my guess is it hits 10k to validate prognosticators and then continues the bleed into 40%, 30%, 20%... of total market cap. |

Is it true that IOTA is quantum computer resistant? How they achieve it? I read that IBM are ready to put on cloud 20 qbit quantum computer for public and are having 50 qbit prototype.
Iota uses Winternitz signatures, which are quantum resistant. Basically the same thing that makes them efficient makes them one way, so quantum resistant. You can dig around the internet for the math of why this is true if you want to go next level. |

Do you think IOTA could overcome Bitcoin in market cap during the next 1-2 years?
Bitcoin dominance is declining and might be below 40% in 1 year. But IOTA currently has 0.9% of overall crypto capital. It might reach 2% in 1-2 years, if it's really successful in practice (and not only in theory). To answer your question, this is just impossible. It took Bitcoin 2 years to shed 40% of the total coin market, and months for Eth to gain its current status, so it's possible. You should never confuse unlikely for impossible, unless you like being surprised. |

Where can I find a word salad generator? It looks like that is what most posters are using nowadays  Just repost risto from the "Voice" era. |

Not a cost move, back to the sideways trading, maybe? I really can't understand that a old coin would have so much quantity, a lot of "senior members" all of a sudden speaking for it, the price stays exactly the same for several days on end. Take a look at Doge (urgh) in comparison, the thing is movement, not stagnation.Keep in mind Feathercon? g
Since no one else is answering, I feel a little sorry for you. I will rise to the bait. I think you haven't been around long or you would realise some people are more interested in a long term increase in value. These people do tend to be 'senior' members, since they have learned much over time in crypto and have done well from picking coins early that have become considered the cream of crypto and made HUGE returns, such as Monero. Mentioning Doge etc. in relation to Monero is really a bit silly. I don't think you will find many people consider Doge to have been a good investment. Good luck with your strategy of trading Doge, though - maybe one day you will have made enough you will be able to afford a decent position in a better investment. I thought it was another walonek troll when I read "days on end." Do these guys even know where to sit when the music ends? |

Would love to be above dash again, but above 2Bil would be pleasant.
Still waiting for acknowledgement of dm's moving Monero's direction, but that may take some time to sink in.

Doesn't look very legit to me, I'm 80% sure it's bullshit or a scam or both. R/monero has a few sketchy characters, but given untraceability, this isn't a surprise. |

I said 0.02 busstop. Noone listens...
You throw numbers around like your words, badly. Where you see precision, I see contradiction. Like a near-sighted cyclops who can paint, he's a genius among his peers (and in his own eye), but a master of splat to anyone with depth perception. |

Loving the XMR market today, really good times! Where the hell is walonek?  He got stuck in a bear trap, "But I thought it said noMore!" |

This is new Bittrex API code: {"Currency":"TROLL","CurrencyLong":"Bittrex Test Currency","MinConfirmation":1,"TxFee":0.00100000,"IsActive":false, "CoinType":"IOTA",https://bittrex.com/api/v1.1/public/getcurrenciesSo much about Bittrex not adding IOTA.  Must mean it works, should thank joshki for implying so |

Do either of them do anything differently from monero in a meaningful way?
I 've followed aeon in the past, but have no experience with sumocoin. Aeon was initially branded as a lightweight version of monero when smooth took over, but not sure if that has continued or has differentiated aeon enough to make an interesting argument for its use.
Stopped following aeon a few months back, so it may have changed a lot in that timeframe.
