Hard fork
Everything is working properly. There are a significant number of nodes that are not updated and get repeatedly dropped, which generates logs messages in aeond.log. Take care that this file does not grow too large and fill up your disk.
Since these are error messages, there is currently no log-level setting to turn them off. If the number of bad nodes doesn't decrease soon I will put out a patch to suppress these messages.
Are the people running the bad nodes also seeing error messages? If they aren't reading this thread, do they know that the hard fork occurred?

Everyone around here is greedy, don't kid yourselves, you don't think someone like smooth isn't looking to get rich either? Besides what is the point of currency but to accumulate it and spend it and make money, it is the essence of capitalism.
Exactly, that's why i don't trust anyone owning more than 80% of a coin. The market is under their control, and i'm exposed to their arbitrariness. 80% ownership by a single party of a cryptonote coin (such as Bytecoin) also destroys much of its utility, as that party can easily de-anonymize other users (since they will control the vast majority of the outputs).

Clever. Pump your alt coin in the Bitcoin section by asking how it will affect BTC price. Well played I don't own any Ether. I'm interested in what Ethereum can or cannot do, though.

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?
I agree there appears to be an organized campaign, but it's a bit more subtle than past trolls and reverse trolls Bytecoin has sent our way. Let them huff and puff! They'll not blow our house down; it's made of brick, not straw or sticks.

Monero will not break in the mainstream. Quote me on this tomorrow, in six months, two years and one hundred years.
and why do you think that so? some arguments please! Arguments isn't needed. Or it shouldn't be anyway. It's pretty obvious. Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one should be put on ignore.

I have a Monero fund already established, and undergoing the initial capital building process (acquiring Moneros). Once we get enough to begin with (the company already has a capital in 6 figures), we can start accepting investors.
What advantage would an investor in your fund enjoy over buying and holding xmr himself?

I have a very, very good way to promote XMR. I won't go into the details here, but the main idea is that all of the like-minded XMR-rich will have the opportunity to get together and share our awesome stuff. The goal will be to have fun. A secondary consequence of our fun will be that other accomplished people in the world will see the benefits of being part of an elite cryptocurrency community and may decide (or try) to join us. The more exclusive the club, the harder it is to join it. LTC, DRK, etc. will never have a large enough group of dedicated holders to do anything comparable, so I'm not even worried about them copying this idea.
This sounds like Crypto-Kingdom.

Careful of self fulfilling prophesies. As Confucius--or was it Socrates?--said: just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

There is so much heterogeneity amongst potential purchasers of Bitcoin in their level of understanding. Sophisticated Bitcoiners fully expect the halving, but the newbies and the not-yet-newbies have no clue about the emission schedule. The halving will provide a narrative scaffold for predicting another bubble, and the prediction will become self-fulfilling, because it will seem plausible that others will find it plausible.

Atrides, Now that you've had a chance familiarize yourself with OpenBazaar, can you describe what needs to be done to make it compatible with XMR and estimate how long it would take to do it? Also, what are the obstacles to completing the project as you initially proposed. Are there technical difficulties? Do you need help? Best, pa

Is this just a commemorative silver coin or is there a Monero wallet embedded in the coin somehow?

Smooth would you ask the aeon coin shills to stay in their own thread and delete their off topic posts. I believe this is your bailiwick.
Is this a self-moderated thread?

Wherever it ends up, it's a hell of a ride.
And a hell of an education. . . and "hell of an addiction" for some of us obsessive hodlers. It's an irresistible blend of high-stakes speculation, outrageous drama, and participation in a worldwide community of freethinkers, oddballs, geniuses, idealists, and knaves.
