I guess they're prepared to assume those masternodes are all totally above board. Not sure that’s a totally safe assumption, but who am I to say--I gave up crime in the 8th grade.

Whats the ETA on the snapshot?
All you guys that are just going to dump just make sure to move your funds to a new wallet before the snapshot and then again after.
Good point. For some reason I assumed it was already done. Watch the blocks fill up  Too much hassle tho, to dig up the cold storage. |

What if someone forks Monero then breaks security, does it reveal all?
Depends how many keys they collect. As far as I can see, this is just a data harvesting attempt, or a cash grab. OK so they can only effect their future transactions? great Any keys you give up to claim coins discloses all past transaction data from that wallet. Any transaction on the new chain compromises the ring signature for both chains. Not sure if stupid, greedy, or malicious, maybe they are all of the above. Just let it wither and die. I know some will trade their own grandmother for 10 cents, and you just can't reach those people. But anyone responsible and forward thinking (Monero hodlers?) will have nothing to do with cheesy poofs forks. |

So you’re suggesting doing nothing with the moneroV you receive?
P.s. appreciate your opinion l
Quite literally yes. I know people seem to be unable to grasp why I would do such a thing. I will have a nontrivial amount of MoneroV, which I will never ever touch. Giving them your keys affects overall privacy, and your own past transactional privacy, if I have it right. Just ignore it. |

WTH??? Did I miss something.. I'm not selling any more LTC until I find out what's going on.
Wake me up when it is near $200 and I will reconsider my position. For me, it is one of my "hedging" alts so I don't need to quickly react to pump & dumps unless some key targets are reached too fast. Good thing is that whenever that pump finishes it will help rise BTC with some of the profits. Sitarow used to watch this, had an interesting theory on the waves... |

you are all SHIT! IQ-0
wikileaks, snowden are BOSS.
Julian Assange loves BTC. Not sure about Snowden. Snowden is either bought and paid for, or an idiot. Lost any respect for him when he promoted zcash. He of all people should care about privacy and governmental spying and backdoors. |

Will this protocol change affects botnets mining? And if it affects that, does it means hashing power will dive at least for some time around fork period? Will there be a chance of a chain split because these "70% unknown" hash power comes from botnets and that they might not just switch the software version promptly, leaving and old "ghost" chain burning power and taking some unaware souls? It is meant to prevent ASIC miners. There was speculations that someoen build ASIC miner so if that is the case then mining hash power should reduce. I think there is little chances for that. Also if that is the case, those that have ASIC miners will now start an offensive against this change. Since with this change will lose their advantage. No one can tell how many hash power comes from bootnets. Can be 99%. Botnets operators can easily join any pool. So as any miner can mine solo or on private pool. On that pie 70% was marked as unknown only because maker of that pie know names of pools that do only 30% of hashpower . If he would do homework a bit better could easily add few % more. Saying "because these "70% unknown" hash power comes from botnets" is simply wrong. Ok, but you answered none of my points... I actually want to know if it will impact on botnet mining (not if it was target for that). And also, I agree that it is not right to say that 70% are indeed botnet, which I didn't. I may have expressed myself bad, but what I meant was: "IF a great part of that 70% unknown hash rate DO comes from botnets and that botnets are mining using old code, will we have any hash power break down upon update?" I would expect some drop in the hash rate, at least briefly, because there are always pools that don't get their shit together on schedule. Whether they are named pools, or 'unknown' pools makes no difference. It's just a matter of who is paying the power bill. |

Just to be clear, with this hard fork and all, there is no problem with the Monero anonymity ? Because this is what makes Monero so special, anonymity... is this a reason to sell, this coming hard fork? I guess not, I don’t want to sell! But I am Having trouble understanding the whole coming situation
No it is just a regular, scheduled upgrade of protocol. |

Any news when Monero mobile wallet will be released, currently it is very difficult to send XMR payment on the go.
Finally! I've been waiting for this for long time. We really need this. And we need monero on more hardware wallets really. One would be a fine start... |

Bot nets secure the network, whether you agree or not. Secure your systems if you don't like them? I lock my doors because I don't want anyone walking in and taking my shit. But but locks are expensive and need keys and stuff! Life sucks, get a helmet. If there's an easy way to steal with minimal chance of repercussions, someone will always do it. They are not stealing the block reward, they are stealing the hashes from those who don't care enough to prevent it. No worse than mining at school or work (or Russian nuclear plant  ), or stealing the electricity for your mining farm or grow-op. |

The one thing that doesn't add up to me is that darkcoin is significantly higher than Monero still. Comparing Monero to bit coin days. There wasn't a precursor to bitcoin that tried to do the same thing in an inferior way that had a higher market cap.
When one entity owns (premine) vast amounts of the coin, and there is no trade volume and no transactions, they can set the price wherever they want. It really is irrelevant. |

AI = Artificial Intelligence. Means it is fake intelligence.
Means, the real intelligence can still out smart it. Thus humans will control machines for a long time. Up until they are self-replicating, self-repairing, self-sustaining, and self-aware.
Humans are self-replicating, self-repairing, self-sustaining, and self-aware, and we can control them. I think we can control robots too in the future, after all, they need energy and if we pull the plug they die. Battlestar Galactica. |

Um, first of all: what does this have to do with Bitcoin Price Speculation? And secondly, how could Fake News possibly the "biggest threat humankind will ever face"? How about global warming, nuclear war, or over population / famine, just to name a few? Well, for starters, global warming and overpopulation are fake news  So it's kind of a catch-all. |

If everyone posted an apology for every speculation not realized, this speculation thread would be twice as long.
I will apologize for this post when I see close to 100% speculation accuracy here.

I havn't trusted it [mymonero.com] since a few guys here got burned and really I only used it for a few coins which back then was pocket change, I think the most I ever had on there was 400 way back. People have to get burned before they stop using web page based wallets I guess.  !@$@#$ Binance still down was supposed to be up 10 minutes ago. Fuck Ya, that was horrible (was it birr who lost 7k XMR wallet? I remember feeling sick about it at the time, and shortly thereafter removed the bulk of my stash), but IIRC it was resolved to be phishing or MIM, wasn't it? A strike against the internet, not the integrity of the service. Why would people leave coins in online wallets? Well, I guess I may have done it too in the past with what was then "pocket money", actually I had left coins in online exchanges which then got hacked. A handful of dollars in those days, tens or hundreds of thousands of $ now... A lot of us did, back in the day when you couldn't run a node on less than cutting edge hardware/connection. Now it's no big deal, with LMDB etc. It wasn't exactly pocket money, either, but it was seen as better than leaving it on an exchange. |
