Personally, I’ll wait for the open source HW wallet.

it seems very cheap, how much can you confidently store on it? will it have some recovery method for lost/damaged devices?

Chelsea vs Barcelona - More difficult to predict this, I can see both teams scoring but unsure what the result will be

Spot on

The Monero blockchain is becoming very large, i wonder how big it will become in around 5 years time when Monero has mass adoption on the darkweb. Hardware wallets cant come soon enough either and will drive the price of XMR up high Smiley

there is a significant transaction size reduction in/after testing and ready for a practical roll out soontm.

It needs some serious work to take place because it must be robust and thoroughly guerilla tested. From concept up.

But even in peeling a bit of the history doesn't help you know anything about now.

*edit*

I mean knowing an address in bitcoin = all transactions revealed

Knowing an address in monero and maybe 1 or 2 old transactions = nothing

Day after fork we can all move everything, what do they know ?




3608  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: February 17, 2018, 07:29:14 PM
There is almost no doubt that Monero's price will increase. Of course not investment advice. But I believe that XMR is a strong project. I think it was a project that could be invested much earlier.


I don't think that's a likely scenario.
The MoneroV fork will break Monero's single selling point, solid privacy.
If it can no longer offer that, its value vaporizes into thin air.

Do you really believe of the millions of historic addresses they can get  enough to de secure the chain with a few airdrop users who flip over.

Unless its a totally viable coin and the majority flip over its irrelevant. If they do it maybe becomes monero. 

What will be, will be,

I'm holding where I think I need to be.

Seems like Soros is speculating on crypto now.
Watch out when he does his famous "shorting the bank of ..." activities.

Good!

He was right to dump FB. It's toxic.

Privacy wise too, their 'Facebook Protec' feature is a vile violation of privacy.

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...

ah yes,  and the fact that your blockchain is encrypted doesnt help at all  Wink
hope you all can fix the mess man, sure it doesnt look good from here.   


If only you had a view key or something




Or a per TX key that enables Monero to be traded on bitsquare or whatever they're changing the name to.

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.

It was about 120, now I read your 2 comments and put them together.

Probably the stock shortage was allowing it to be driven up by amazon sellers

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

3614  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: February 14, 2018, 10:29:57 PM
suffering from?

In what way specifically are you suffering?

I also found it weird that, despite explanation, you continue to assert 70%+ regardless.

Imagine the souls that would be crushed if it just dropped below 6K right here.
It just so happens I'm running out of crushed bull soul!
By the looks of it, bears gonna have another crack at 8393


I was worried as soon as I saw about 10 pages back everyone is long.

What always happens when everyone is one way?

The opposite!

OK anecdotal, and always?  etc.

But frequently no? after all these are heavily manipulated markets.

2019 is the year. Emissions falls silly low.

I expect explosions



Like 1000 USD or higher? I still think 1000 is possible in 2018

I bought monero because I liked monero. Unfortunately it refuses to do anything other than follow bitcoin around everywhere it goes like some sort of lost puppy. It's stupid and annoying but it is what it is. So anyway, the point being, it looks like its going to depend a lot on what bitcoin does. It might outperform bitcoin. We can hope it does of course. There are good reasons to expect that it will. But it doesn't look like its going to climb in value unless bitcoin does also. So you want to figure out how well monero is going to do in 2018? First figure out what you think bitcoin is going to do.

I almost wish bitcoin would die, even though the price of everything in the sector would crash, just so that everything could break free and we could have a dynamic and competitive market with internal relative price discovery. You know, so that the good projects  could actually be separated from the bad. So that the crypto sector could improve based on bad projects dying and good ones absorbing their capital. Instead we have an entire sector that moves togather in one direction or the other irrespective of whether the individual projects are actually garbage.

Frustrating.

I understand what you’re saying, but dude... Monero followed Bitcoin around in 2015 at around .001-.0015 for a while too... it’s not a permanent thing, just a temporary coincidence.

I communicated poorly. It's not really that that I hate. It's that shitcoins get boosted up when bitcoin goes up and quality projects go down when bitcoin goes down. Bitcoin going up shouldn't make your worthless garbage product more valuable. It's completely unrelated. It should be completely unrelated anyway. I feel like peoples obsession with bitcoin is subsidizing garbage. They treat the entire sector like its one homogeneous blob and not tons of very different projects that should be evaluated individually on their individual merits. If people would evaluate each project individually it would reward the better ones more and punish the bad ones more and the whole sector would improve more and faster. It would be healthy for the sector. I hope that makes more sense.

You know how people like to talk about zombie banks and zombie corporations. People treating this sector like one homogeneous blob is creating zombie currencies.

Goes back to my earlier point. I think people mentaly baseline at entry point against BTC.



It remains to be seen whether a settlements network can be salvaged from the ashes of the house Satoshi built and the core team burned down.  I would not invest in bitcoin now, simply because it is not useful now, and I have no confidence in the salvage crew.

A blind, arthritic and demented standard bearer does not seem like a good thing to me. Lack of utility, if it persists, will surely bleed its value inexorably down. I hope I am proven wrong because the wake of a sinking titan can capsize numerous lesser vessels. Even a sound one will be tossed brutally in those swells.

I know Bitcoin has been slipping in your estimations, and I agree in many ways it has lost its way.  Maybe it's wishful thinking on my part that it recovers its credibility, and remains as the market driver in CC, because if it sinks - rather than is gradually surpassed - I think a crypto as a whole is in for a very long and painful time before it finally sorts itself out.


God help us with all the silly bitcoins. If BTC goes down the who space will be made a mockery of

The Wall Observer doesn't show signature campaign stuff.  It gets turned off there to stop daft nonsense posting for the sig campaign credits.

If only....

Unless the campaign is checking every post I expect they get through anyway on the persons post count.

Yeah but now they are being told they were right. It has crashed. Bit of a misrepresentation of the actual situation.
