"Rune" is pronounced "roon" in American English. I'm not a BBR owner, but I agree that its current name is a serious handicap. "Rune" is quite good from the point of view of English speakers, both denotatively and connotatively.

Maybe the original CN was a honeypot made by the FBI who fabricated the story of a 2 year old dark web coin so they could lure criminals and terrorists to use it. And now BCX's friend found one of their backdoors.
Maybe it was developed by extraterrestrials. I did read that after all. Is it true ? Dunno, which do you think is more likely? Since I'm virtually certainly the FBI did not fabricate the 2 year story, I'd have to go with the extraterrestrials. Or lizard people, or the like. If CryptoNote were an intel agency honeypot, Bytecoin would have shipped with a polished GUI and a built-in marketplace for 3d-printed guns, illegal drugs, and child pornography. |

How important is the strengthening USD (versus other major fiat currencies) in depressing the BTC/USD price?

Moneroman88 is almost as good as AnnoyMint.
I cannot stand by and allow for you to insinuate this sub standard troll is within farting distance of my abilities and accomplishments as a troll on this and for that matter any forum. But, of course, you are a mental eunuch and as far as intelligence goes are more closely related to the cantaloupe than to the likes of me, which, by the way, there are basically none (I am speaking directly upsentence referring to the "likes of me") . Several people, if we must call them that, have suggested that this new troll moneroman88 is actually Risto Pietila posting using pseudonymous cover to promote his new favorite coin Monero, which frankly has no chance of survival (but that is another 3 or 4 dozen posts complete with bulleted lists and hundreds of circular hypertext references which ultimately end in me leaving the forum forever (however I may return as a novel pseudonym (though I may indeed post as more than one pseudonomously (yet I will still refer to myself often as my actual name "Sheldon Brandon Moost IV" (this being (referring to the name directly up-parenthisis) already known to the NSA and it's Chinese counterpart (which I shall not name at this time)))))) as it will fall under the weight of it's own bad design in a matter of 9 to 11.5 months. Dear me. I seem to have become extremely hyper parenthetical. But to the point for which I have sneaked away from my keepers to post on this forum again: It would be an idiot of the most orthogonal completeness who would not see that Risto has certain conventions, styles and even limitations in his English (which he has an excellent command of (damn if I am not becoming re-parenthetical as I did immediately up-post)) which this troll does not display. In fact from his dialect I am able to determine his origins within a very small set of possibilities including central North Carolina (including the research triangle (if you will permit my reuse of parenthesis)) and California north of San Diego and south of San Francisco. This is, as even people as beta-male as you know, a far cry from the Scandinavian roots from which reptillionelliditus (as I like to call him) hails. I would like to spend time elucidating you in regards to my "typed dialect detection algorithms" but I do not have time to reveal this to you now. Perhaps later I will take the time to strive to enlighten your terrible darkness, but not now. In fact, my handlers are coming to take me back to my chambers now, and I am sorry to say I am unlikely ever to return to this forum. I humbly bow before the Master. Comparison to mm88 retracted. ROTFL. |

Sometimes I wonder whether it would be too much "bad blood" to have a monero speculation thread with only allowing known members of the community to speculate in...  Define "known member". "Real name known, and finger prints and blood group on register", or "has more than 5 posts and didn't just register yesterday"? Sidenote: newbie jail was a primitive solution to a complex problem, but still better than the current state of having *no* solution to that problem. I'm sure there is an obvious reason for this, but why doesn't Bitcointalk charge a small fee to post? POW was invented as anti-spam tech, no? Also I wish someone would invent a cryptocurrency-based karma system for forums and other social media. |

I was under the impression that the whole point of VIA was to recreate Counterparty. I'm not sure what they plan to improve upon though.
But seriously, my impression is that they are pushing the ball forward on side-chains, big-time. I haven't tracked it, but that's what they paid Peter Todd to do. Getting all that work out into the public, so that people can innovate on it, is super helpful. In a recent video interview on VIA, PT sounded surprisingly pessimistic about whether tree-chains could be made to work. It's possible that's just false modesty, though. |

I own BTC and XMR. I see Monero as having these significant downsides/risks:
1. It is the target of sophisticated, large-scale FUD and hacking attacks, likely originating from resentful Bytecoin (BCN) and CryptoNote scammers. (So far the Monero dev team and community have fended off the attackers.)
2. It may be more threatening to the-powers-that-be than is Bitcoin and therefore runs a greater risk of being banned.
3. Something better for financial privacy could come along, such as Bitcoin or Ethereum sidechains implementing Zerocash or Zerocoin. (Monero is the bird in hand. . . )
I've nevertheless invested in XMR because:
1. I trust GMaxwell who says CryptoNote's privacy technology is mathematically sound (though he has not done a detailed audit of the codebase and has not vouched for its quality).
2. The XMR devs also seem trustworthy, competent, and responsive.
3. XMR has several trustworthy BTCtalk members, who are usually focused on BTC, openly supporting it.
4. I like the name Monero.
5. I believe that financial privacy is needed and that many people will be willing to pay for it.

Bitcoin is by far the leader in terms of its ecosystem and current utility. It offers significant improvements over fiat for some applications, and it is far more liquid than other digital currencies. I am expecting Bitcoin to continue to increase in adoption, and to incorporate some technological improvements and new features, but perhaps not as quickly as it has in the past.
I personally have also invested in Monero, because I think CryptoNote currencies may offer greater financial privacy than Bitcoin and I think that there is untapped demand for financial privacy. Compared to the CryptoNote alternatives, Monero seems more likely to survive, be widely adopted, and be responsibly developed.

The OP is an obvious troll who is creating a shit ton of these stupid threads. Best to ignore.
Yes, he is! <Moneroman88 IGNORED> |

Altcoin where coins become unusable after some time? (so you have to use them)
Are there any?
Congratulations, you've re-invented inflation. |

Here's a proposal: Anyone whinging for the next week, who hasn't donated at least 100 XMR to the core address (cf. OP), gets whacked.
<pa donates 100 XMR, keeps whinging options open> |

'This individual also provided Motherboard with the password to the email account'
Oh man, imagining having to resist that temptation.
Why would Satoshi hand over the password to a reporter? |

Anonymint is one of a kind. In so many ways.
God bless.
Smart guy, probably could benefit from getting laid a bit more. Hope he comes back! Very smart. Not your stereotypical crackpot anarchist who somehow managed to elude the men in white coats. So smart I couldn't understand what he says half the time, I'm not being sarcastic. Clearly highly intelligent. I've learned a lot from his critical posts. But the idolization of Martin Armstrong is hard to understand or take seriously. If MA could do the things AM thinks he can do, MA would be the wealthiest man in the world. But I hope AM succeeds in his quest to create the ultimate cryptocurrency. |

I think it's possible that we'll look back on this time, when the main threat to Monero is other alts, as a honeymoon period. When an anonymous coin separates from the pack, it will become a lightning rod for the enemies of financial privacy and freedom. This may take some of the heat off of Bitcoin, which will be seen as more friendly to the powers that be. Monero is Promethean, and may be subjected to the same punishment as that Titan, but it may also endow humanity with the fire of freedom.
