any workaround apart of syncing from scratch?thank you. I have no clue how to fix this (note that I am not really tech savy so I leave this question open to more people with more knowledge regarding this subject), however some people reported syncing from scratch times of approximately 3 hours. So if you have a decent PC, why not give it a go? |

Is it just me or this community getting slightly stupider?
Monero has a great reputation of being comprised mostly of geniuses, nerds and political freethinkers (whereas Dash on the other hand has a reputation of being comprised mostly of pot-smoking retards.)
I guess it is true that as Monero becomes more widespread, then more mainstream elements will inevitably permeate, bringing down the overall IQ of the community.
But seriously though, might we try not to rush it?
Also, I speculate that XMR will be aggressively dumped as the price quadruples - a good thing. Else in 4 years from now, people will not want to buy into XMR because of the 'knowledge' that it is mostly comprised of huge whales that could dump the price at any moment - a phenomenon that by then is known as "Satoshi's Dump."
Monero has the advantage that, unlike with Bitcoin, you can't track the blockchain for incoming deposits at exchanges nor measure the amount of Bitcoin days destroyed. I've witnessed multiple occasions where people started dumping based on Bitcoin days destroyed. EDIT: Regarding the IQ part, I haven't really seen new community members enter that are significantly more stupid than the current community members. Bear in mind that people might be smart in general, but have limited knowledge about tech for example and thus need help setting up their wallets or mining. |

I'm bearish on BTC right now so that makes me bearish on XMR. Too many rejections at $300/btc. Coinbase lunar rejection. March/April rejection. Summer rejection. You might say that XMR can go up without bitcoin. This is true, but it will be difficult. LTC and DRK both had pumps that failed this year.
What I want to see is broad bullishness in the cryptocurrency space. Not just short-lived, local pumps.
I will be bullish on BTC and XMR when the blocksize debate is over and we are moving closer to the halving. I'm going to be mostly in fiat until Jan 2016 at the earliest.
Mark Karpeles arrest and confirmation of the willybot history is extremely bearish, the great Bitcoin pump was insider manipulation, there is little demand for cryptocurrencies, but I'm extra bearish on Bitcoin, at least while cryptokingdown shows promise on XMR side, and it does. I'm reading through the ex Mtgox CEO AMA on reddit now. Look at this: The only time I suspected something was wrong (beyond Mark himself) was in April 2013 when my ex-employee contacted me to report there was an account that seemed to be buying bitcoins at a surplus rate, and it seemed to be internal to the company. It's even worse than I thought. The fake trading started in April. You should both read this comment -> https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3fe92x/im_ashley_barr_aka_adam_turner_the_first_mtgox/cto1383PS: Wall moved down to 0.0022, it still remains to be seen whether it's real or not. |

Please stop arguing with him. He isn't the spokesperson nor the face of his community.
+1. I, as a Monero supporter, am quite annoyed by seeing this and I would like to say that certainly not all of the community is like this. I wish you good luck with your project and you got some interesting features that are worth looking out for! |

any (technical) comments on Bytecoin 1.0.6 ? btw i see a huge pump is going on over there  good luck lol Yeah, I just came here with popcorn for the inevitable sock puppet revival. They're too busy participating in the alt discussion forum pro- and anti-Monero thread spamming, along with the dashtards and the regular copycat retards. Besides that, does the Monero dev team have any perspective on this newfangled "aggregate multi-address" feature that they've implemented, as far as whether it might be useful in Monero? https://bytecoin.org/blog/aggregate-multi-addresses-ecommerce-enhancing-privacy/I think smooth already answered this on the previous page: any (technical) comments on Bytecoin 1.0.6 ?
The new addressing scheme is interesting. Calling it "new cryptography" is a bit of hype, as it falls out pretty obviously from the original white paper. It has advantages and disadvantages, and whether it is a clear improvement over payment IDs to be adopted in all use cases is unclear (they are claiming that payment IDs will be deprecated but I'm not sure that is a good idea), but certainly a legitimate development to define and implement it as they have done. The rest of it -- things like supporting high transaction rates when there is effectively zero actual usage of BCN and very little usage of any cryptocurrency right now -- is pure hype for pumping purposes. |

I don't think Monero is for me, I prefer transparant coins, imagine if the tax agency demands proof of your transactions for example...
If a tax agency demands proof of your transactions, you can provide your viewkeys (either for your address, or per-transactions), so you can decide what to reveal or not. There is the real power, it's private by default, but public on demand. You probably didn't know viewkeys existed? You probably don't know much at all in fact. Better read a bit before posting irrelevant "conclusions". In addition:  |

Very sure. Or tell my why is it always Newbie Accounts often with a single liner? Also look how the same few Anti-Monero guys jump into every thread it is mentioned.... hclivess, illodin, bagholder"cry(p)to"( lamest thing i ever heard and you keep on saying and saying it like a dumb nut )010, benthach etc...
Because they're being paid by the post? I don't disagree they are being paid, but not in a way to benefit Monero. In my opinion, they are doing the opposite and are probably paid to do the opposite as well. |

They aren't shills, they are reverse trolls.
Are you sure about that? Their numbers and level of persistence indicates a profit motive. Pretty sure about it, most are either newbie accounts or known trolls (mrkavasaki, blacky90 and kenji). Also, like I stated before, most long time community members that I know are quite annoyed by it as well. Thus I advice everyone to stick to the ANN or speculation thread and not start new unnecessary threads here. |

When you pay shills to advertise something they don't understand, you damage the thing you were trying to promote.
They aren't shills, they are reverse trolls. I stated in another topic: I already told this before, please refrain from starting new Monero threads in the altcoin section. We have our own speculation and ANN thread which are sufficient. I, as a Monero supporters, am getting quite annoyed by all these threads and I certainly know that many others are getting annoyed as well. So please follow this advice. I know you meant good, but this is only hurting XMR, not benefiting it. |

This thread was linked on the Monero subreddit, so we probably have some new readers currently. Anyway, AEON currently isn't traded on an exchange. However, there is a moderated OTC thread managed by a reputable member -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1068691.0 |

What's up with all the new reddit subscriptions? We used to gain a handfull a week whereas last week we got a 100 or so. A lot of them have names with xmr/monero in them too, I'm a bit sceptic this being 'natural' actually. Or is someone actively promoting?
Atleast the newcomers are asking genuine questions instead of the reverse trolling that is going on here at bitcointalk. Also, because it is our own subreddit people will mind less which kind of questions or topics are stated than here on bitcointalk. |

Is anybody working on a faucet?
Yeah, shitaifan2013 stated that he is working on that in cooperation with SafeDice if I recall correctly. Edit: MM time?
It's been a very busy week for Monero. I demand a new MoneroWorld Weekly Digest! Here I'll start: - part time core dev crowdfunding nearly done  -Chinese translation funded  -Arabic and many other translations Soon(tm)  -Peter Todd says nice thing about Monero, trolls Dash, absolutely epic butthurt ensues -NoodleDoodle issues massive commit bringing DB to RAM performance levels or better -RPIE announces his company will start the process of buying One Million Moneroj -8/8 is declared Lucky Monero Day in China  -Jay-Z films new rap video sitting in hot tub filled with cryptonic coins, champagne, and groupies  -Putin announces he will only sell gas/oil/vodka for XMR  -Monero Bears still understandably terrified of shorting, even given 0% loans  3 little additions - a finnish company is planning to get more exposure to monero (edit: just saw that you already mentiioned this) - a faucet is going to launch within the next few weeks - 2 newly corwdfunded xmr nodes via bitnodes.net( https://bitnodes.net/status/) are up have a good start in this new week gang! Nice recap. I think I missed the faucet news. Where was that? so far I've only dropped the hint on the faucet launch one or two times. maybe that wasnt on here but on getmonero.org. |

People should also be pricing in Bitcoin terms. That's the far more relevant metric (versus pricing in dollars).
could you shortly explain why you think so? Because most people traded their BTC for XMR. Which is at first, more volatile and thus makes it more risky. Secondly, if the XMR/BTC ratio declines it would've been better to stay in BTC. |

still dumpage but the situation is slowly overheating. influx of new users is creating additional pressure, the orderbook stays weak, but its possible it migth never recover on polo anyway.
slowly slowly we climb until there is no way back.
any news on the new exchanges?
You shouldn't focus that much on orderbooks. Imo, orderbooks are basically used to trick other people. Look at bitfinex for example, most of the bids and asks belong to the same person/entitiy. I wouldn't be suprised if it's precisely the same for XMR. |
