Longer term the manipulation does not matter and both of the above quotes are both true in their own scenarios. I still believe Monero will more likely fail than succeed in its mission, but since the success carries a 1,000x profit tag and failure is only -1x, investing and holding is an easy decision, with the amount being the only variable.
May be time to brush up on the Kelly criterion. |

Shorting means betting on further price drops, so are these shorters idiots, insanely altruistic, or do they know something I don't?
Simple: shorters wagered that a drop would follow the rise, and they figured to make some money on it. Short term speculation. |

Is anyone else having withdrawal problems (hmm, that sounds wrong lol)? Earlier today i did a successful withdrawal. After that, i tried to withdraw 4btc and the status was stuck on "processing" for 1 hour 40 minutes. I cancelled it, split it up in 2x 2btc withdrawals and those are also stuck in "processing" for 1 hour 20 minutes now.
BFX stopped doing instant withdrawals. All withdrawals are slow now. And by slow I mean at least a few hours. Maybe if you have a locked address it's faster, but I haven't tried it. |

It seems strange, if this was malware, that they would ask for 10 xmr, when presumably the goal is to get the contents of my wallet.
I'll transfer my funds from mymonero to a different wallet.
I believe that prompt is only if you wish to transfer from a pre-existing wallet therefore my guess is the password string was being malformed. So if I had gone along with the prompt, my money would have gone to a wallet for which I don't have the password. We're starting to see some of the problems facing monero adoption here. I'm cagey enough. I logged out when I saw that. But another might fall prey and lose all his money. And this isn't caused by hackers or some kind of malware. It's a system failure. |

I keep my xmr in a mymonero.com wallet. Last time I logged in, it gave me a message that I have to pay 10 xmr to import my transactions. What happened?
My old address is gone, and the wallet won't show my balance.
Edit: when that happened, I was using a Japanese VPN. I switched to a U.S. vpn, logged in again and my wallet works normally. Can somebody explain?
You definitely used the same login key each time, right? If so, then it sounds like the VPN is doing something funny. The only time it would show you a different address is if your seed / keys were modified by poisoned Javascript. I'd be VERY nervous using that VPN. Same 13 words. It has a checksum, so it's highly unlikely this thing happened as a result of mistyping it. I was using the Android OpenVPNConnect app and the University of Tsukuba VPN software, which is used by hundreds of vpn servers in dozens of countries. Go to vpngate.net, choose a server and decide whether you want to use OpenVPN, IPsec, SSL or sstp. I chose a server in Japan, because it has the highest throughput. It seems strange, if this was malware, that they would ask for 10 xmr, when presumably the goal is to get the contents of my wallet. I'll transfer my funds from mymonero to a different wallet. Regardless of the discussion above, simplewallet is more privacy preserving than MyMonero because the latter needs your viewkey in order to show the balance. I have downloaded https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/monero-wallet-generator/to use offline. After sending coins from mymonero.com to the new wallet, how do I send coins from the new wallet? It looks like I am going to need another wallet. I own only Android devices, no windows, Apple or Linux. Is there an Android wallet app? |

Maybe people are starting to look at "altcoins" such as Monero because Bitcoin is showing its age.
Fine with me!

Monkey reports in: Monkey thinks the next week could be uppish, but is generally skeptical out until mid-March, then bullish on the multi-month scale.
This time, I think I agree, but whatevs.
year of the monkey hasn't officially started yet has it? It has! Feb 8, 2016 to Jan 27, 2017 |

Dollars getting cheaper now. The local price of steam remains constant measured in magic beans. Steam in Iceland, however, does not. On my premises the xmr supply factor tracks the mining-weighted cost of steam, while the demand factor presently remains negligible.
Cool New York facts: Every once in a while some steam pipe from the 19th or early 20th century explodes, blasting chunks of tarmac into the air. Either no one has been killed in this way in the 10 years I've been frequenting the city, or it is just not notably reported, as it isn't "news". An example of the latter negative effect: ~20 Manhattanites get killed by stray voltage each year when touching signal poles or street lamps, but this is definitely not news, just a consequence of stratified layers of decaying transmission circuitry dating back to the era of Edison and Tesla. If I ran the place I would put a dome over it. Not sure about doors though.
Where were you on August 19, 1989?I know where I was. Walking on 21st Street just west of Third Avenue. A roaring sound began and I started running. A funny thing I remember about the "explosion." It didn't have a percussive beginning, like a bang. One second everything was normal, and the next there was a huge roar. The sound just sort of... was there. It sounded like a jet plane. When that pipe ruptured, I was one short block away. http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/19/the-last-big-steam-blast-gramercy-park-1989/?_r=0 |

Price is more reasonable now. I will resume accumulation, slowly. I continue to believe that coned determines the marginal supply of crypto generally, and the long run on XMR has reinforced that notion all day every day.
con edison? you obscurantist. 80% of americans wouldn't get that reference, let alone this international crowd. Ha ha. I would like to know what he meant. Has anybody figured it out? |

More and more, I see that bitcoin's price resides in an earthly orbit well inside the moon's.

This picture targets the Joe Blow demographic?
If so, the word "fiat" won't strike a chord. The average American doesn't talk like that. They think about cash, not "fiat." You don't need a word at all. The greenback icon gets the idea across all by itself.
I would keep the icons for dollars, Bitcoin and gold, without the printed words, and print Monero under the M icon.
Otherwise, people will go what's that M doing there, then look at the other stuff, which they understand, and forget about the M.
Monero is the thing you want to communicate, and it's the only word left out of a rather wordy picture.
In my opinion, the graphic might work better without any words at all, except Monero. If you explain too much, people will tune you out. You want to involve people and pique their curiosity. Exposition comes after. A T-shirt with a technical diagram may just make their eyes glaze. It's transmitting information on a wavelength that us geeks understand perfectly, but it's not going to grab the average person. The visuals should be enough to get them thinking.
Get them curious and then engage them on a personal level.

They got back to me and said the btc was used to buy xmr.
I stayed away from polo for about a year and I haven't made any trades since I went back on the exchange the other day to make that small deposit. But it's possible I did a fat-finger somehow.
Or it's possible I had an old unfilled order that executed when I made the deposit.
My account does show a balance of xmr, and my trade history shows a buy of xmr after I made the deposit. So I guess that's what happened. Apparently the mistake was mine, not polo's.
I have enough confidence in Poloniex to continue using their exchange.

They got the deposit and it shows in my deposit history, but they didn't credit my account.

I have a ticket open with poloniex about this. Their first response was, the deposit went through.
OK, it shows up in deposit history.
It has not been credited to my balance, however.
I asked again, on the same ticket, what happened?
No response.
Poloniex, get it together. This is not good.
Ask in the troll box if there is any moderator available which could help you, btw what have you deposited there? 0.1 btc They responded and are looking into it. That was a test deposit to see if it's safe to make larger deposits. Guess the larger deposits will have to wait. |
