1000 xmr sellwall on polo where price is hitting against since a while

looks like we are building an uptrend

I don't think its anything to get excited about.  Poloniex is nearing insignificance in XMR trading, with a whopping 500 BTC of buy orders on the books.  And this reversal is coincident with the BTC pull back.  More blah, probably with down drift coming in, I expect.  Wake me when 0.020 is in the rearview mirror  Cool
1662  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: October 10, 2017, 03:47:34 PM
how is going XMR development. we need good news

Amazing, as usual.  Also irrelevant to short term price, as usual.
... Gotta wear 'shades...

Building a nice ramp for 18'th december 2017  Grin
You chose the same date re: BTC.  What's the significance?

Is it odd that a block explorer would show (exact) transaction amount as the sum of fees for the block in question?  I mean, how likely is that?

Just noticed the 24hr volume on polo...  410btc  Shocked  Haven't seen it that low in ages.

add: 

and it seems that polo btc:xmr is only 7% of xmr the market these days.  The times they are a-changin'!

Polo is going down the shitter.
I think it needs to be smaller - it couldn't cope with being as big as it was - I dont think they ever brought in the staff or infrastructure needed to be big.

At one stage about 75% of my trading profits were through polo - now its about 10%

Anyway Poloniex still is the biggest market to trade Monero. Falling volume is very dangerous, but on the other hand when will show up good information from developers the price will much easier jump up.

Wat?

Bottom reached by now, now we are going back upwards until a high on 18'th December for 0,06125  Grin

I thought it was to be $500 10 days prior to that... I suppose both is a reasonable projection  Cool

Personally I think XMR > ETH in 1 year, XMR > BTC in 5 years.  That's my primary time-scale.

I can see XMR going past ETH in a year, but I'm not really too sure about XMR > BTC in 5 years. Remember back in the spring when ETH had the monster pump and it seemed like The Flippening was going to happen? Never did.

BTC for all of its flaws still has the network effect. And as we see in companies like Google, Facebook, and Twitter, having a network effect on your side means that you can dominate the landscape even if your product is subpar.

There will be 'that moment' when the sheeple discover the hard way what fungibility is.  There is sub-par, and then there is catastrophically flawed.  The pace is picking up, but it seems to be like the frog in the pot.  Most will just boil.

My problem is not solved!
I have to reinstall Windows 10!
How to Recover the GUI Monero wallet after reinstalling windows?
Which files should I save and where are they located?
Is it difficult to answer these simple questions that I ask for the third time?

Thanks!
The only important thing to save is your 25 seed words. Now might also be the time to consider NOT reinstalling windows, and using a less invasive OS.  Took me years of intentions, but it ended up being very simple to install ubuntu.

Finally a meaningful answer!
Thanks man!

that will maintain your access to your coins, but not and wallet history. if that is important to you, save the wallet file.  

edit: correction.  History will regenerate.  Wow.

Guys, is hodl a paradox? When are we supposed to enjoy our riches? I've never had riches before. Should I be living in a richly place now? I've never lived in a richly place before.

I just don't know.

Pick a small % (somewhere between 5 and 20%) and a starting price.  Every time price doubles from your starting price, sell your chosen percent.  Use a spreadsheet to pick the percent that gives you a mix of fiat and btc you can live with, assuming the wildest valuation you can think of, then stick with it.  If you have spare fiat, buy a fixed $ (or euro, or whatever) amount every week.  Then relax and enjoy the ride.

Food for thought. Thanks.

It would be reasonable to expect some ongoing retracement (3-4 weeks?) until ... some magic fib level and support kicks in.  0178 would be a gift from heaven, 50% off the high....  More realistically the 38.2% at 0220 would be near the support level expected from hashrate supply restriction...

That was quicker than I thought. Personally, I am a buyer from here down.  I will keep some powder dry down to 018, but below that I go all-in. That is okay since I simply cannot be squeezed.  (In crypto, if you can be squeezed, you will be, so it is very not okay, and has cost many people their fortunes.)


Indeed, I was utterly convinced that we were going to see a continued upward correction to 0.05, not a slow bleed to <0.022. Shocking stuff, given the prowess of this currency.

   That filled my last bid set at the end of August.  Don't mind resuming proper price growth from here  Cheesy  Markets will be pushed where those with the resources choose to push them, however I didn't expect a drop much beyond here (0.022) because the high wasn't a huge jump up from the ATH, which we have been testing for months. A deeper retrace from 0.07+ would surprise me less...

Short term (1-2 month) estimates on price my friend?

I have hopes, not estimates - Generally irrelevant in the real world.  That and 1-2 months is too short for me to even focus on.  I'm content with constant developmental progress and good news.   Bullish as fuck seems a fair description for the future.

I'm loving it, mining zcash with nvidia to buy cheap moneros, good times.

Seriously ?

https://www.coindesk.com/edward-snowden-zcash-is-most-interesting-bitcoin-alternative/

Asked for his thoughts on monero, a competing private currency, Snowden said it was "amateur crypto" and pointed to traceability issues within the tech.

Maybe you would better do the opposite.

He is doing the opposite - Of what the paid shill is saying.  Clearly snowden did zero research, and read the script he was given.  

Or coindesk just made it all up...

Neither would be surprising.
1674  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 29, 2017, 03:35:52 PM
I think the reasoning of snowden is : if such a flaw have occured in the past, even if corrected later, it is a sign of lack of profesionalism.

There was no flaw. That is how it was set form start. Everyone using Monero at that time knew what they were using. Mostly were miners mining.  
Saying this is a flaw is same as to buy electric car and then go to gas station and claim there is a flaw in your car because you cant fill it with gas.

Monero will evolve constantly. There is zero % chance that any lock will never be unlocked. zero. Monero will keep add more and better things to help against tractability. And block chain anslysists will keep trying to break everything Monero will add. It will be an endless fight. The point here is that Monero keeps upper hand.

There is lack of Snowdens professionalism to talk about things he never really fully read about it.
I don't think many users were aware that transparent transactions may compromise the privacy of their non mixins ones. In this sense, this may be call a sort of  flaw. But I agree with you reasoning on the whole.

And I find the endorsement by snowden of zcash rather amateurish or suspicious.


Public endorsement of Corporate Cash is most likely being paid for.  Clearly is isn't the result of careful research... Or research at all.

This article is also well worth a read: https://bitslog.wordpress.com/2013/04/17/the-well-deserved-fortune-of-satoshi-nakamoto/

It makes the case (which many others had assumed but that had not been proven) that Satoshi mined around 1 million BTC.

Like others, I had assumed that Satoshi may well have discarded some or all of the keys to these wallets. However, this post makes that seem unlikely:


Sigh... why delete a wallet instead of moving it aside and keeping the old copy just in case?  You should never delete a wallet.


The question of whether he owns those coins or not therefore comes down to whether he is still alive.

it would be amusing to watch those coins move to a new wallet...  Followed by an epic dump of BCH  Grin

Project still alive?

Kraken doesn't function very well, but yes, it is still alive. 
1678  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 19, 2017, 06:04:02 PM

I hate to bring the other side of the coin here but it needs to be considered.

I agree with this analysis, and I am excited in general.  And have donated more than I have to any other project so far.

But if the deal goes south, or this fails becaused of any reason it will deliver a SERIOUS blow to the image of Monero.  I hope they know what they are doing.  

Asking the community for 4500XMR (currently nearly a half mil USD) and then not delivering would be devastating image wise.


You're right, there's always downside-risk to anything *but* I don't feel like it's quite as bad as you're thinking.

If it fails, the failure will likely be mostly limited to being visible to the Monero community: I mean, if the project flops then by definition it sort of means nobody outside in the real world saw it or benefitted from it, right?  So what the world is unaware of at all, cannot damage their perception of it...

The upside of positive visibility to the world-at-large, versus risk of the downside of "yet another marketing failure" (*cough*Jaxx*cough*) to be endured by the long-suffering but still relatively tiny Monero Community seems pretty acceptable to me.

Also keep in mind that this is "just" 450000 bucks today ... i say just because yeah it sounds like a lot... but alone all those steps to do the legal stuff, integration, development of tools is pretty cheap for 450000 ... and we didnt even consider the PR effect alone this could bring ... be it a retailer for slips, shoes, pampers or used condoms :p 450000 $ is a joke for good marketing

It's actually $900,000. $450,000 is the amount required of the FFS.

  IF it is successful enough to repay, it is going to do so in a currency valued probably 10x or more higher...  This also makes it harder to repay.  I don't know where the balance lies, so maybe someone with the time on their hands will do some thinking on that, and get back to us.  Wink

WTF is an FSS
!!!!?Huh
Who wrote that announcement?  In the real world, people don't speak your private language.

Sheesh.

Faster to type it in Google than your way (I typed monero ffs and clicked the first choice, less than 10 seconds)

But for the lazy and uninitiated it is FORUM FUNDING SYSTEM.  

Ffs.

   I just set up a notebook with ubuntu (deleting windows 10), and the 0.11.0.0 GUI.  This is an offline only computer with minimal storage, so no blockchain/updates.   Getting this far has expanded my experience drastically, but now I'm stumbling...  Can I set up my online computer's GUI to show a view-only version of the offline wallet(s) without entering any private keys or seeds?  Doing so would seem to defeat the purpose...  Also, is there a concise tutorial for creating transactions from the offline setup?  TIA
