Anyone here know, or can guess when 0.9 will be released?

I recently guessed but I was wrong. Tongue  If we have enough guesses I imagine that one will be correct Grin

Actually there is an answer that is correct and that is "soon" Wink

Hope that helps

Sustained volume over time means a lot more to be that a few buy walls which can be moved or removed at any time.

As more people here about Monero and find useful ways to spend it liquidity will improve on both the buy and sell side.

I have little doubt that Monero is here to stay and will continue to get better.  I don't know how you define sustained volume but it does seem it is something it has had and continues to have.  I look forward to Monero's improvement while realizing it's adoption will take time.

Monero goes down = I buy.  Monero goes up = I hodl.  I have traded very little as I find it difficult to sell any, especially now. Cool

Thank you one and all.  Wishing you a Happy New Year Smiley

Monkey vision:  Drop towards 390 support intraday, rising trend to continue thereafter on a daily basis, and over the weekend.
You know this is wrong
Monkey now sees at least one week downtrend, 362 support.

That makes me feel better about my buy @ 427

Best wishes to you and Monkey Smiley

I posted this in another thread but it seems relevant to what you guys are talking about.

Do we really have security and decentralization today when a few phone calls from the PRC could shut the whole thing down?

The only security against nation states with hundreds of billions of $ at their disposal is either through obscurity (monero) or through ubiquity (too big and important to attack).

Practically, it seems a compromise to 2MB would buy time to develop and roll out other solutions (segwit, LN, SC, etc) and could allow us to have more productive dialog in the interim. 

Have we considered the fact that a lot of those small-blockers seem to also have a vested interest in the success of a certain altcoin?

I am not a small blocker.  I am however clueless so kick the can sounds good to me.

I don't drink coffee.  I don't drink coke, pepsi or cola.

Is it still okay to hold? I noticed btc price is falling today will it continue or will this bounce again? Please no rude response in my post, I don't understand the images I'm seein in this thread when I tries back reading..Grin

you better move you better dance

ITs Going Down ~!

I'm yelling timber

I was wondering if I should "buy the dip"

You make it very tempting Adam. Grin

Yeah just a small amount to round up my total Smiley

Edit: $427 it is
908  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 20, 2015, 11:46:51 PM
we'll be at >500 soon, but <400 sooner.

Considering it is you posting Adam, logic would take this to mean we are stuck between 400 and 500 Tongue

https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions?timespan=all&showDataPoints=false&daysAverageString=1&show_header=true&scale=0&address=

We're going to see a noticeable slowdown in confirmation times or a noticeable increase in fees by the time we hit 300,000 Transactions/day. By the time we hit 400,000 TPD,  This slowdown or fee increase will be dramatic and with current code, 500,000 may not even be possible.

With high fees and/or slow confirmations, MOST of the current business models of the major bitcoin companies (Coinbase, Circle, 21, Bitpay etc) will be unworkable.  

There isn't anything close to a consensus on anyway to fix this. There isn't even a consensus that it needs to be fixed.  

Expecting Bitcoin to rally into four or even five digits before the scaling problem is corrected is like expecting a Boeing 777 to take off in your driveway. We're gonna run out of road before we get above stalling speed.

You are using a chart that has a hidden story behind it and pretend like that story doesn't even exist.

The hidden story is that most of the transactions there are bogus, spam, dust, very low to no-fee, etc.

So to get the true representation you must know the ratio of normal transactions vs the spam/dust transactions within the capacity limit.

What will actually happen is that the ratio of the quality of txs will shift internally, within the prescribed limit. So if you have something like half a million of txs per day as a limit, and you currently have just 100k normal transactions per day (with the other 100-150k being bogus/spam/dust), then you have a 5x margin to hit the actual limit, when dust/spam/attacks are priced out and become uneconomical to execute.

If you are always considering dust/spam/bogus/attack txs to be the same in quality, then you could have an increase to 2MB tomorrow morning and by tomorrow evening someone could be filling the extra mb with "stress test" junk txs. That would prove what? That "Bitcoin is at its limit"? Just because someone has filled the new TPD limit with another 500k bogus transactions? No. It would only prove that if your block size supply is much larger than block size demand, then you can have plenty of free riders in that space. And those free riders will be using that space irresponsibly. Why not, anyway, since they aren't paying much for doing so...

Is there any info on the type of tx being made now?  How do you describe spam and dust and how do you detect it?  What parameters are important +/or knowable?

You commented recently that you watched the transactions as they went by on the screen and determined that many were dust/spam.  I also watched transactions go by on blockchain,info before your post while waiting 3-4 blocks for my "recommended fee" transactions to be included in their first block.  Virtually all I saw, obviously a small and therefore irrelevant sample, looked "normal" in size.

Pay no attention to my unpaid signature.  I am invested in Btc and want it to succeed.  The only reason I spend time, energy and money is for success.

On the subject of logos, here is my latest offering.



A better shade of blue coupled with a modern better graphic. Simple, universal and powerful.

This is the direction we should be headed.

Nice--the design elements are still there, but it doesn't hit you over the head with them.

912  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: -> Monero Community Hall of Fame <- on: December 19, 2015, 10:03:37 AM
Should there be two new Dans added to the Hall of Fame? Sticking with what the current setup is it would look like 9th Dan would be 10,000 XMR, and 10th Dan would be 25,000 XMR. I think Articmine is the only member of 9th Dan.

I'm not sure if diamonds would be adequate for these Dans, can anyone think of something more luxurious?  Cheesy

I would love to see more people donate. Donations feed the progress of our beloved XMR, and that will make it worth that much more. Cheesy

It seems to go up in the pattern of 1-2-5 which would be 10K-20K-50K resulting in ArticMine being 10th Dan and you close to 9th Dan.

No idea about anything more luxurious because to me the only things listed that are luxurious are the Bale of High Quality Hygiene Paper and Gold Grin  As far as what would be more valuable than diamonds, I am still clueless.

Another day waiting for the definition of "soon"  Tongue

It seems this is the top. Is it slow bleeding from here or flash crashes? Sooner or later the 300-370 range should be tasted again to confirm a healthy organic grow. To me it seems highly doubtful a new bubble starts now, but who knows.

It sounds like you went full fiat at $230 and are mad the price went up.  Somebody blew up the exchange with an abnormally big sell right at the start of a price rise.  It was either on purpose to try and stop it from rising or they did it on accident.
I didn't sold a single satoshi, but I also didn't bought any after the 310 mark. I would buy some in a flash crash to the same range.
I don't trust that smug face of yours

I kinda like his face.  I don't think there is any hope of it going down to the 300-370 range unless ofc there are problems due to the BJA scaling problem.  I base this on everything I read ITT.  I last bought @445 a few days ago when I got my Christmas bonus.  After all what else can you do with fiat?  I am highly suggestive, good going guys Grin

Recently Coinbase has been engaging in various promotionals to lower fees and increase their volume, so it should be no secret NOR conspiracy that their volume would likely increase, in part, because of their promotional efforts.

Kids say the darnedest things.



^ https://cryptowat.ch/coinbase/btcusd/4h

Thx, didn't know cryptowat.ch showed volume for coinbase. Bitcoinwisdom don't.

I preffer this one https://tradeblock.com/markets/krkn/xbt-eur/1w/

Thx,

I use it to check blocks, but it seems to fire up the fan on my laptop.

There is also bitcoinity..... https://bitcoinity.org/markets/coinbase/USD

No idea why volume for CB has always been disabled on BW

Looks like their "promotion" is over Cool

Or possibly, the big green candles...  Roll Eyes

There may be a high degree of correlation between the two.

Good morning Smiley  Sorry if it wasn't clear but for a while now the answer to, when will 0.9 be released?, has been "soon".

Looks like we had some buying last night, at least in my time zone.


What do we want?----------- 0.9!
When do we want it?--------"soon"!
