When Monero is really better than Darkcoin why is then Monero at 23 cent´s??
Marketing plus reuse of the Bitcoin architecture.

and the masternode demand. We should come up with something to artificially create demand for monero - "Now you have to hold 1000 XMR in order to get block rewards!!!"

but not really.

proof of stake nonsense.

moneros a long game.

We've got crypto kingdom for this, you can basicly earn XMR by "investing" your XMR into it -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=819073.0

EDIT: This is ofcourse not optimal, but we should think about getting some same incentives the DRK masternodes have. It's a great way to take supply off the market.

I like this coin
time to buy again
go to the moon monero.
...................


Didn't one of them already put up a big BTC wall at a low price? I can't remember what that was, .0014 or something?

.................

There was a wall there yes (0.0015/0.00155), but it has almost completely vanished. My guess is that the wallguy was just accumulating and not really selling, selling at such a big loss makes no real sense.

I'm missing the monthly(??) Monero Missives!

Missives will only be posted if there are significant milestones achieved. This was clarified a few weeks ago.

Btw, I think this got burried in the altcoin section, so crossposting it:

Feature request: Please add a date column to the transactions list. Smiley

I'll add support for that as soon as I can retrieve it from the core RPC.

Until then, here is an update I've just posted on the #monero-dev IRC channel:

Quote
[17:32] <Jojatekok> hi
[17:33] <Jojatekok> I've decided to try porting Monero API .NET to a PCL (portable class library) project
[17:33] <Jojatekok> thus, it could run on Linux (Mono .NET), Windows Store apps, XBox, and whatever
[17:33] <Jojatekok> even on phones
[17:34] <Jojatekok> that way, real mobile wallet applications could be written in Xamarin in the future Smiley
[17:34] <Jojatekok> (including Windows Phone, iOS, and Android too!)
[17:35] <Jojatekok> but this means that assembly management (exe file loading and closing) has to be put in a separate package
[17:35] <Jojatekok> thus, providing convenience for PC app developers
[17:35] <Jojatekok> basically, a single API could just cover every platform Smiley
[17:36] <Jojatekok> thus, providing a new era for Monero application development Cheesy
[17:36] <Jojatekok> it will take some time to execute all the porting, but has just started
[17:36] <Jojatekok> and I'll be working on the project every time I have some spare time Wink
[17:37] <Jojatekok> I would like to ask the core devs to provide RPC commands for everything (including wallet file creation)
[17:38] <Jojatekok> thus, GUI development could be separated from core dev even in the future

&

Thanks for all the feedback provided! Right now, I'm working on fully separating the API part from the GUI, thus, I've created a new GitHub repository for Monero API .NET, which could be used by merchant services to easily utilize Monero core functions from the Microsoft .NET programming languages.

I've just gone on a 1-week holiday, though, but will try to continue the developments as soon as I have time (for instance, airplanes are perfect places for this task Smiley).

no offend just a question: is monero monday (?) missive posted at another place or is there a new way to update the community?

They currently go here first I think:
https://forum.monero.cc/1/news-and-announcements

They are then cross-posted into this thread.

If your concern is "hey I haven't seen a missive in a while" its because, in general, the dev team has moved to publishing missives after milestones are achieved.

In essence, the gist is "let the dev team dev", because I think the milestones are getting relatively more difficult to achieve compared to the first months of existence, where im assuming things were relatively easier, but Im just making this stuff up.

I'm trying to compile a weekly report by keeping an eye on the IRC channel and collecting useful thread posts.

So, since last monday, when I got this idea, here are some notable developments and posts that I've collected:
--------

"we're remerging/updating daemonize, working on RPC -> IPC (via 0MQ), beginning the refactor/extrapolation to libraries, and working on non-64-bit comparability. This is all directly related to the GUI effort"

There are apparently two mul128 implementations (whatever that is); fluffy was looking for insight into which one should be kept

There was general chatter on the non-dev monero channel about creating a faucet.

And my LMDB version of bitmonerod is still running fine (3 weeks now?)
-----------

with the blessing of the dev team (and/or the community, whatever), I could deidentify stuff and try to make a nice little published package. Be the "reporter" of XMR based on what I come across. Won't be as pretty as fluffy's.

I personally would like this and I think a considerable amount of less technical monero followers as well. I hope the dev team approve this so we can see a nice little update every week from what happens on irc/github.

Someone opened XDN games shop - http://xdngames.allalla.com/. I've sent them a request to add XMR as an option too. (had to send it via order form since there is no contact) Can you guys support me on this one? Smiley

I will try, but I don't think a shop that specifically opened for accepting XDN will accept XMR. Nevertheless, I think we should just try it. There is no harm in just asking.

Any serious investor will figure out how to generate a cold address.

You are thinking way to rational. Your answer might be true for serious (large) investors, but not for the smaller ones. Some of them are just waiting till they can easily and safely store their XMR on their PC's. All these small till medium size investors could still produce large buy pressure.

I also think there are plenty of investors with serious money who are not tech heads.

Agree. IIRC rpietila (and maybe other big holders as well) has a lot of wealthy friends, who might be interested in investing, but are not really teach heads (and thus capable to figure out how to generate a cold adress, or just don't want to invest the time into it to figure it out). I think the time consuming factor, the time it takes to figure out how to store/generate a cold adress is also a reason for currently not investing. Some people just want to buy XMR, download the GUI and store them.

EDIT: If I am wrong rpietila, please correct me.

I have to slightly disagree with TrueCryptonaire, there are still some whales cost averaging and buying, this has not stopped yet. I think above 0.0010 (psychological level as well, although it broke last time) should certainly hold. Also recall that bullbear is covering XMR and they have a lot of subscribers, this will most likely give an influx of new users as well.

It is the proverbial game of chairs. As long as the music is played, it seems that there are plenty of chairs, and all the chairs are empty. Once it stops, for any reason, you cannot buy any serious quantity for the previous price any more.

This is well observed by checking any price chart of any coin, alt or BTC. The spikes come suddenly, violently, relentlessly, overshoot, and then crash. If the coin is good, the post-crash level is a multiple of the previous level.

XMR has not demonstrated itself pricewise, you have to check the fundamentals when buying. Technically, it's bad, but remember - when the music stops, the opportunity to buy anything but crumbs is gone.  Wink

I certainly agree with your point. I personally think that there are a number of reasons for the current downtrend. At first you have the general crypto bear market (copyright smooth :-P), with the decline in btc, you will see a (leveraged) decline in alts. The current sentiment is just way too bearish, people are cashing out of crypto in general. Like ArticMine said before, in a bull market, alts will spike even higher than btc, but in a bear market, they will also fall deeper. Second, there is a lot of selling in order to buy back cheaper going on, eventually this will be countered by an uptrend, people will get nervous and will panic buy back in. Just look at the last bullrun from 0.0091 to 0.00193, we doubled in nearly a week and this was even in a bear market. Just imagine what will happen when btc is in a bull market. At last, the inflation might play a role in this downtrend, but I think the role of it is wildly exaggerated. XMR held easily above 0.03 when the inflation was a lot higher (although the general crypto sentiment was a lot better then). I think it is just a mix of the above factors. No one will really know when we will break the downtrend, but if we break upwards, it will certainly be explosive.

The trendline since summer 2014 (June 21st) looks simply terrible.
All the way down with lower high points and the coin has lost most of its value both against bitcoin and against usd.

The trend was definitively broken around December 23. Now there is arguably a new slower downtrend of lower highs, but it is hard to make that case based on only two data points, and since December 23 we have also seen a higher low, so no clear indicator here at all.

Quote
Most members in Monero community (me included) have reached their limits of the amounts of Moneros they want to hold.

Somewhat agree. Some members still talk about continuing to average down so that does support the price.

Also, I'm definitely seeing a growing second generation of Monero community members who weren't around for any of the early history and only now want to learn about the coin. That is a very healthy sign.


Me too, I think we will also see a new influx of users once the DB and the GUI are ready. Some investors are sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the GUI+DB to come out to safely store there coins. I have to slightly disagree with TrueCryptonaire, there are still some whales cost averaging and buying, this has not stopped yet. I think above 0.0010 (psychological level as well, although it broke last time) should certainly hold.

PS: Wall at 0.0015/0.00155 has almost vanished Cheesy Only around 12k left!

Come join #tippero on Freenode IRC, where you can gamble and tip other players with Monero!

I'm giving away 1 XMR to the next 5 people that join the room.

https://www.cryptocoins-dice.com/#

Is this your site?

I'm not sure how to figure out how to trust a gambling site.

100% of my XMR is gonna ride on my PATS. hope the balls are deflated! Cheesy

I just bought a bitcoin for £200 = 300USD from virwox because I don't have online banking  Embarrassed Is that a good price?

If it is good for you, it is good, by definition.

I just bought a bitcoin for £200 = 300USD from virwox because I don't have online banking  Embarrassed Is that a good price?

If we reach 300+ level, it will be ok price

if we stay under 300, I guess you will regret it

Well, I can't deposit to exchanges like btc-e or bitstamp because you have to be 18 and provide ID. Even though I bought my bitcoin for 300USD - Bitcoin will rise in 2015, right?

Why didn't you use localbitcoins? That would've saved you atleast some of the 50$ fee..

So i registered monero.gr domain and since i had nothing to do with it i thought i should make MoneroLinks, a wiki page with all the bookmarks i had and some i searched afterwards...It is far from complete.

Now i guess this is already obsolete since we have https://xmrmonero.com and a wiki but even if someone finds something he didnt know or if it helps him save 5min well it worth the time spent. Feel free to copy paste anything! In any case i gained a lot since i think i just doubled my html, apache,mediawiki and domain/dns registering skills Tongue  (yeah i am noob)

My small token for monero's 1000th page!

P.S. yeah i probably need a logo for MoneroLinks

You could also just simply forward monero.gr to xmrmonero.com, just a suggestion. If people from Greece land on the monero.gr site they will instantly be directed to a site full of content (maybe someone could even translate some of the content of xmrmonero to greek).
3219  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: January 14, 2015, 01:32:46 PM
...
The biggest reason why Monero cannot and will not be the #1 crypto is because it is developed to be 100% anonymous and untraceable. Lawmakers and regulators will not allow something like that to have widespread mainstream use.

Lawmakers and regulators will just legislate and regulate the on and off ramps and the service providers as they are currently doing with Bitcoin, and have done with cash for years.

Agree, another way is that they could opt to use the viewkey so the transaction is visible. In the same way as the current dev donation adress. If I am wrong about this, please correct me.

I looked this up and would like to add some content:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=721045.msg9781917#msg9781917

Q: How can Monero be both anonymous and transparent at the same time?
A: Monero is "private, optionally transparent". By default, you can get very little information from Monero (you can know that a transaction occured, but not whence, how much and whither).
But you can decide to give one particular person access to your balance by providing this person a viewkey, a specific string. For the moment, support is limited to MyMonero.com-created addresses, since this wallet is the only one able to take advantage of viewkeys and MyMonero doesn't yet allow reading a non-MyMonero.com-created address (such as an address created with simplewallet). But later, support will be extended to any wallet and addresses.
Another optional transparency feature, hinted at in the original whitepaper but not implemented yet, is auditable addresses.
Finally, we have also considered other methods of allowing for transparency on specific transactions. People want to be able to selectively prove payments on demand and generally open up to transparency in a controlled manner, without everything being linkable and traceable to the rest of their transactions.
