Hopefully not to the tee. If the timeline was the same we'd be quite far off from mainstream adoption. Wouldn't mind seeing it a bit earlier than that. Wasn't the internet fairly unpopular until 2012ish and on? Don't really remember when it exploded anymore since I kept doing my thing unphased.

Not sure of the year but I think it exploded when the 56k modem finally arrived and you didn't have to wait 30 minutes for a playboy pic to load anymore.

Monero is dead as we know it. Game theory suggests that when free money is available to users as a result of airdrops, it would be illogical for them not to claim it. Due to the losses in ring signature privacy as a result of this, who in their right might would be willing to conduct sensitive transactions with such an inherently flawed cryptocurrency?

Yeah, and there must a lot of people not in their right mind right now conducting all these sensitive transactions right now. Just going through this thread alone provides a lot of help, and at least you have helpful Monero people suggesting things for you. Try see if you get the same support with any of the fork coins of any coins. Game theory? You are not the first, and not the last. I do not claim all my fork coins, and maybe I am illogical, but hey. Surely more like me around.

Yep.  I'm not eroding my privacy.  If a reasonable solution is found, forks will make for good XMR dev donation money.

I think we are just before the days where Monero price is below 0.03 btc. Monero will go over that price range and make it support instead of a resistance area. If you look at previous charts of monero you can see that 0.007 btc area was the resistance, once Monero increased over that area it did not return back. I hope the similar thing happening soon, upcoming MoneroV fork may help happening this.

Maybe you mean 0.004?  0.007 was a flash in the night...

everything gold :')))
that's been a while since last time I notice XMR, price rise so quickly.
remember that time, when I chose XDN over XMR. and time pass out, XND still rise, but nowhere near XMR. . . make me fell sad so much
but now, ONION rise as very potential anonymous coin. . .
a little bit pointless comment but...any one see through ONION? please tell me your opinion.

EVERYONE can see through ONION.  It's blockchain is transparent.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg28075509#msg28075509
sorry that's my bad English Grin
I mean if anyone take a look at ONION

by the way. if it's blockchain is transparent so why they call it anonymity.
and thanks for information ^^


Because they are unconscionable liars.  Scammers, if you will.

Long time since I've posted here.  Have been busy running my mining rigs and other crypto projects.  Can someone give me a State of the Union run down on Monero and what has been going on and what is coming up for the year?

Links or replies will work for me.  Hope everyone is well here.  This has always been my go to place for Monero news and problem solving.  

Multisig, sub-addresses, default fee reduction (what else?) in next month's fork.  Bulletproofs next fork after (massive reduction in tx size and fees)

monero hardware wallet soon, ledger nano s soon.

Our very own premine scam fork, moneroV soon.

network hash rate + GH/s

tons of media on web browser miners and 'crypto jacking' bot nets

That's a quick rundown off the top of my head.

Thank you.  

globee payment processor / merchands some time ago
xmr.to
android wallet

probably more

ah yeah: FluffyGate ....

Of course! The integration of XMR.to into the Monerujo Android wallet was epic!  Monero usability grows and grows!

Getting tired of the XMR Coinbase add rumor circlejerk.
If its anything like BCH tho, holy shit.

I thought that one had quieted down.  Has it popped up again somewhere?

 Shocked Shocked Shocked

 how come ppl losing their xmr almost everyday at your official online wallet there Huh

and what the fuzz about monerov Huh  is it good coin Huh  


i thinking about buying alot of it if they provide good solution toward monero's shortfall... u know Monero Enterprise alliance and stuff...  it sound like a centralization.

They claim that their coins were stolen. The same way I could claim they are lying about this to FUD monero. They can't prove I am wrong and I can't prove they are wrong.

I haven't heard from any credible member who got his coins stolen from mymonero. Most often rather new accounts are claiming their monero got stolen.

I have been very lax on security measures with a few mymonero wallets just to see if someone is gonna steal them. Nothing got stolen in the past 2 years.

The main takeaway is, don't trust webwallets with any coin. It is not like people ever stated that webwallets are secure.  It is just reckless behaviour on the side of the user to use them anyway . There are more secure alternatives available.


I'm sure there are a few Fudders but due to the shear volume of accounts hacked I doubt it is all bullshit/phishing or poor SECOP. I believe I know what it is but I've warned of it for years and no-one has taken me serious so whatever I could care at this point. Using any Webwallet for any amount your not prepared to lose is dumb, there have been credible members that have lost coins years ago and warned the community so if people don't listen then thats their problem. Also I see a concerted effort to keep these reports shuffled away and ignored. I have never seen an official release of proof of any investigation and/or resolution to even one theft. I think Birr has been waiting for 2 years for an explanation other than we don't keep logs.

I can't remember what it was you warned about. Are you talking about the theory that cloudfare could be responsible for the thefts? Seems like there was a short discussion about this possibility at reddit a couple of weeks ago -
 https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/7tc3za/a_theory_regarding_the_randomly_reported_thefts/

I went through past posts about the theft and you are indeed right, there were some credible members who lost a lot of money due to usage of mymonero.

Maybe closing down mymonero wouldn't be a bad idea at this point in time? If I remember correctly, Fluffy already suggested to do this in the past, but some people were against it. But now we have more options for storage and with the impending release of the "official" android/iOs/hardware wallets, mymonero wont be needed anymore (IMO).




I think it's a good idea to have a web wallet, but a bad idea to use it for large sums.  Those days passed right around the time of the higher profile big losses with the Hydrogen Helix release.  There is less need for it now that we have a usable/improving GUI, and multiple mobile options fulfilling similar needs.  AFAIK mymonero is working on their own mobile app.  It cuts out some attack vectors, but still requires vigilance.  Complacency kills.

  I haven't seen anything on 'official mobile wallets'...

I realized something. Bitcoin is free from state control, right? The price is determined organically according to supply and demand, yes? And what happens after a sudden and rapid rise in price? After the boom comes the bust. Down to less than half of the previous high, and only now slowly climbing back up.

Many organic cycles in nature mirrors this, most obviously animal populations. And when you look at the human population over the past handful of hundreds of years, what do you see? Exponential rise, a rocket taking off. But the food supply is limited, and we will eventually hit a hard cap. We will top off at 9-11 billion people. And once we reach the top, what will happen? We will have some percentage drop.

I thought until recently that millions of people, perhaps hundreds of million, were going to die. But no. Billions of people are going to die. And there is a possibility that it will happen within our lifetimes.

I'm going to fucking bed. Hopefully I will have some less horrible nightmares than this.

The food supply, as any resource, is somewhat limited, but that limit is not hard capped. Advances in production technology can rise that limit radically. In fact, that is what has made possible to sustain current population density.

I don't really know what have made you suddenly worry about it.

Those 'advances' have included unsustainable practices that yield poorer and poorer quality foods using petroleum based fertilizers, vast amounts of diesel fuel, and toxic pesticides (that kill off bees etc) not to mention GMO blah blah blah.  It's not a good situation.  Not to say that more sustainable advances can't happen, but it's going to have to happen pretty fucking fast to reverse damage done while contending with rapidly changing climate.  The information is out there, but it's not being spoon few to the populace by .gov and MSM (quite the opposite).  You've got to search it out.

Welcome to the wider realization  Wink  The cycles of famine, disease, GSM, and magnetic pole flip are all lining up for a real barn burner over the next century or less.  Most are well under way, but MSM does their best to keep the sheeple content with their bread and circuses.  You can ignore it, or refute it, but you can't stop the trends.

My take it he celebrate tens and says that it paves the way to much higher numbers. But some people think it was a prediction of btc/ltc ratio, lol. Wonder what you make out of it. I wish our revered prophet was a bit more specific. On the other thing, crossing 10k, and so vigorously, cannot be a bad thing Wink.

Pretty sure he wouldn't mention LTC if he wiped it off his ass.
Once upon a time, I wiped my ass with a dollar bill.
Still trying to figure out how I'm going to do that with crypto.

Duuude, that's why you keep shit coins in paper wallets! Grin

As soon as https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2018/02/14/what-is-general-data-protection-regulation/ is in place I'm going to execute a delete on my FB profile.

I did that more than a decade ago, and it took 2 years and threats of legal action to make it actually go away...

Ledger Nano S has dropped to £89 and seems in stock at amazon.

I wonder if a new version is coming?


Is that a drop?  I think I paid 59 euro in December.  Maybe it was 69?  I know it went up thereafter.  No new version that I'm aware of, just waiting on the the new apps.

Now 79 euro from Ledger.  About 70 GBP? incl free shipping, looks like a preorder though.

Applies to the Bitcoin market too. I.E., we are in a drawdown right now. Due to a 60% correction, normies are walking away from a market that will once again explode in the next few years to a new unimaginable ATH.

The move from the $1200 ATH to the $20k ATH was unimaginable. In the future it could make a move from the $20k ATH to a new $400k ATH, although it seems unimaginable now.

Small potatoes to 2013's  $12 to $1200...
