Argentina

I do not see Argentina as the next Cyprus.  Cypriots had EUR, Argies have ARS, which is basically toilet paper outside Argentina.
Before Argentinians can start buying bitcoin, they are going to have to find something to buy it with, something called hard money.   Nobody is going to accept ARS in exchange for BTC on any significant scale.
Moreover, the situation in Argentina is different from Cyprus because nobody is confiscating their holdings of a convertible currency as in Cyprus; the Arg citizens who possess convertible currency aren't under threat as the Cypriots who possessed EUR at the time of the crisis were, and such Argentinians won't feel an urgent need to unload USD.

my local dealer doesn't take BTC...yet.

Luckily my local streetwalkers do.
You misunderstood them.  They take bitchcoin, not bitcoin.

rally still on? Huh

Think of it like a steel trap. The more you crank it down, the harder it's gonna snap.


analogies like this one are the best parts of this thread. makes me wonder what people here are actually around ... and no, i also don't know how such a mechanism looks like.
Lol, sorry, just do Google search for images of "bear trap" and you will see.

Mycelium wallet is coding an implementation of HD including support of multiple coins:

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki

"One master node (seed) can be used for unlimited number of independent cryptocoins such as Bitcoin, Litecoin or Namecoin. However, sharing the same space for various cryptocoins has some disadvantages.
This level creates a separate subtree for every cryptocoin, avoiding reusing addresses across cryptocoins and improving privacy issues.
Coin type is a constant, set for each cryptocoin. Cryptocoin developers may ask for registering unused number for their project.
"

XMR devs, please contact Mycelium devs soonest.

All this talk about "No GUI Wallet," then what is this that I have been using for more than a week?

Monkey sounded an all-clear.  Could still wobble a bit over the next 90 minutes or so, but unlikely to break lower.

Given how weak his daily outlook is -- although it did stop wavering +/-, it is only weakly +ve yet -- I think he is tipping me that this sort of thing may repeat a few times before the next daily-scale impulsive move.

What are monkey's thoughts on bubbles? Specifically speculative ones, I'm not really that fussed about his approach to soapy water.
The idea seems to be very popular around here but they don't seem to want to arrive on time.

Bubbles!

They haven't answer the mother of all questions, how much did they pay for the BTC.
If the mother is a whore.

Fact is he's going to invest in the Bitcoin infrastructure and now he owns 30k BTC so his interests are alined with the rest of us holders. Seems like good news Smiley
Anybody with common sense can see that.  Draper is the best thing to happen to Bitcoin in some time.  If you watched his press conference, that's obvious.

(snip)
did your question get answered? is your problem solved?
Yes, my question was could I run on 32 bit ubuntu; reading the last few pages has made it clear it's not practical.
My CPU is an Intel atom n270, which won't run 64 bit instructions.  So I have to get a different machine and install 64-bit Linux on it.

Keep your eyes open, fellas.
I am an investor who has bought heavily into xmr.
I asked a question in this thread, and didn't get an answer.
You guys have to be on the alert for the opportunity to reach out to people like me.
I asked a question that was so simple it was apparently worth ignoring in the high level discussion going on here.
If I can't get up to speed on the wallet I then must choose between leaving my holdings on an exchange into the indeterminate future or dumping, which is bad for me and bad for everybody else.
Please make monero useful to people who know less than you do.  It shouldn't be beneath you to give a beginner a helping hand.

I think you should keep up with this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=589561.220
Its a bounty for an opensource GUI ( 1 July I think they are going to pick a winner)

If you need any help on the current wallet pm me or ask in this thread and I will answer


Thanks for the link, you can be sure I'll keep researching this stuff, I have a lot at stake.  And I will get back to you, either here on the thread or by PM.
774  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / command line xmr wallet installation for newbs on: June 28, 2014, 01:49:51 PM
I've been over at the main xmr thread trying to get a word in but not getting a response.
My problem is that I own a lot of that coin and I need to get it off the exchange where I bought it.  I'm going to have to install the wallet.
XMR doesn't have a reliable GUI wallet, so I need to install the command line wallet.
I have a 32 bit machine, and will be installing the wallet under Ubuntu.
I didn't see any information about 32 bit Linux installation in the first post of the main monero thread or in the pages that it links to.  So I made a post in the thread asking how to do a 32 bit Linux installation.

Can you even install monero in 32 bit Linux?

Edit:  I did finally get an answer in the xmr thread, but I will leave this post up just in case someone with experience using monero in 32 bit Linux happens to see this and wants to chime in.
Thanks.

Looking at the OP, I only see 64 bit with respect to linux.
How hard is it to set up a command line wallet on a 32 bit machine with ubuntu 12.04?
777  Economy / Speculation / Re: Race to launch NY’s first regulated bitcoin exchange - 6/25/2014 on: June 25, 2014, 11:00:10 PM
Is there actually any new information here or are they just summarizing what occured in March-April and what the author hopes for?

Well the fact that the article says that the regulations should be out in early July is news to me.

We knew it was slightly delayed from end of June, but if thats true its great news.
There is no source for the early July target being 'news' - This is simply based on what Lawsky said in March. Since then, there has been no public information about advancements with the regulations at all.

And they should be making public updates why?
I didn't say that they should.
If you won't say it I will.  NY Dept of Financial Svces should issue updates.
Can you pronounce the word "democracy"?

or, I really don't know anymore, I started listening to some guy talk about consciousness and reality and watching bitcoin prices and wondering about the relation between adoption and valuation and how a "particle" approaching a pair of slits is not really a particle until someone has observed and taken note of which slit it went through, recording the information in our consciousness, and how that is similar to a transaction before it is recorded in a block. Once recorded in the blockchain, that transaction is REAL ... or at least real in the terms that we can perceive it from within our own little reality bubble.

We're in a secular bull market, looked at in a scale of months, in my opinion.
Drops will be temporary.
The problem I see with daytrading in such an environment is that you need to keep a cushion of fiat so that you can go in and out of the market.
Let's say you're an active trader and your holdings, averaged over time, net half crypto half fiat, because you're always buying and selling.
And you're competent enough that your trades come out in the black, on average.
That's not enough.  You have to do more than just come out in the black on your trades; you have to beat the returns you would get by hodling.
I keep most of my stake in cold storage, and play day trader with less than ten percent of it.

Using you own analysis: why not 100%?

I would like to learn how to trade, and this is my way of doing it.  I would like to learn how to trade because the recent bear market taught me the disadvantages of holding.  

How is it a bear market?


It is now about $600.

Last month was $400

6 months ago was $200

Last year June was $60

18 months ago was $10

2 years ago was $6

Ahem.
My post referred to "the recent bear market."
Like, about five months of down, down, from over $1100 to less than $400.
That is a bear market.

I also said I think we're now in a secular bull market.  On the scale of months.
Is it so unclear, my writing, that the ideas don't come across?
