I haven't installed  Wolfram Warptangent yet but it looks like I will do so on a brand new computer.  My 2+ year old <$300 comp's HDD  just died.  Of course nothing is backed up except on the computer itself. I have seeds.

I'll need to get one off the shelf tomorrow probably at Micro Center.  Any advice for the resident company idiot?

Try to get one with a ssd hd, and make sure you don't get some really old/refurbished cheap one that has a cpu without aes-ni.

Now that I feel rich I can get a nice one. I'll just use that new credit card I got.  What's one more maxed out credit card?

Here's a 256GB SSD for $60 from MicroCenter

Yeah...alright...you are right...but this is just a link
No big pics
I have no problems with your posts.



Kind of wish start the art did post the pictures here, framing the message as a showcase of start the art's art for the monero community may be perceived differently than an upfront solicitation to buy said art.

hope to see other artists take liberties with the monero design!! that blue is good

Not these people!  Funny GIF:

https://secure.actblue.com/x/object/actblue-cyanotypes/replaced_images/list/155882/b29362f9be8649fa-trump_flint.gif


“Mr. Trump, I invited you here to thank us for what we’ve done in Flint. Not to give a political speech.”

"That's how Flint Pastor Faith Green Timmons shut down Trump yesterday as he began to illegally turn what was supposed to be a thank you speech at her church into a typical, partisan campaign spew.

REVEREND Green Timmons, a Black woman, confronted Trump immediately--and Trump, looking like a child that just got chastised, quickly reverted back to his thank you speech."

I have the feeling that the correction is over. I may be correct or not, but today is my birthday so I bought some Monero OTC and I think this is the best present I'll receive today.

Wishing you the happiest birthday equipoise!!

I have recently started reading a book titled the Way of God: Derech Hashem

It was originally written over two hundred and fifty years ago by Moshe Chaim Luzzatto. This book caught my attention because I heard it described by someone as the most systematic exposition of monotheism fundamentals ever written yet its author claimed he received direct instruction from an otherworldly being he identified as an angel. That was a very interesting juxtaposition so I picked up a copy. Below is a passage from the book.

Quote from: Moshe Chaim Luzzatto
We are well aware of physical things, and their natural properties and laws are well known. Spiritual concepts, on the other hand, are outside our realm of experience, and therefore cannot be adequately described...

One of these fundamentals is that everything in the physical world has a counterpart among the transcendental Forces. Every entity and process in the physical world is linked to these Forces... These Forces are therefore the roots of all physical things, and everything in the physical world is a branch and result of these Forces. The physical and the spiritual are thus bound together like links in a chain...

The existence and state of being of the physical universe thus emanate from these highest Forces and are dependent upon them. Whatever exists in the physical world is a result of something that takes place among these Forces. This is true of both what existed in the beginning and what transpires with the passage of time.

These Forces were the first things created, and they were arranged in various systems and placed in different domains. Everything that came about later was a result of this, following rules willed by God, linking these Forces to the physical world. Everything that happens in the past or present thus has its origin in processes taking place between these Forces.

The existence, state, pattern, and every other quality that exists among these Forces are a result of what is relevant to them by virtue of their essential nature. The existence, state, arrangement, and other phenomena involving physical things in turn depend on what is transmitted and reflected to them by these Forces, following the essential nature of these physical entities.

Once you acknowledge the possibility that information content is not orthogonal to our physical world you force a total reevaluation of the human condition. We must consider the possibility that rather than masters of the universe we are actually among the lowliest of the low.

It's like this: I like picking winners too. Back in 2012, I may or may not have placed a bet on betsofbitco.in on Barack Obama winning the election. I wasn't rooting for the guy—it was only good for business.

^^^^^  If this were true, why would Trump spend the next 8 years vocally doubting his citizenship?

Did Trump’s involvement in the birther thing confuse you? Were you wondering how Trump could believe Obama was not a citizen? The answer is that Trump never believed anything about Obama’s place of birth. The facts were irrelevant, so he ignored them while finding a place in the hearts of conservatives. For later.

A fully transparent blockchain will always be far more valuable than an obscured one.

Not in this dimension.

Yeah, too binary for this dimension. Come out from there toknormal, join us in the real world Smiley

• Monero is screwed up from conception in that it trashes the very thing that makes bitcoin valuable - blockchain transparency

Plain nonsense. Money should be anonymous, transactions should be anoymous, that's the only way to go. Praising blockchain transparency is poltron mentality. Who else should be interested in transaction except 2 parties involved? State?

In addition,
Monero's voluntarily transparent (see: viewkeys)

Funny how the blockchain might help upend patents. By patenting something that probably will turn out to be unenforceable, and as people prove its unenforceability, it will further wake people up from the others' matrices.

I am thinking a Trump presidency could crash USD.  Either way, the next administration is going to go full-on fiscal stimulus, and USD is near its peak.  I like market-making in XMR because it is back and forth between BTC and XMR.  Another appealling trading venue is the Gold/Silver pair. There is no taxable event until/unless you take out some USD, and you are always in PMs, worst case.  But for the moment, USD is where it is at.  As long as oil is crashing, PMs are going to have a huge drag.  I like shorting all the things right now (except XMR).  Also GBPJPY is a good bet.  I nibble whenever it dips under 130.



Bullish on XMR.

Bullish on life Smiley

Am I reading correctly, are you calling 2000 usd/XMR?
Do you think it will be the future ATH or are you seeing an opportunity to go even beyond that?  Huh

All of the fevered dreams of bitcoin past become possible again in Monero, because it does not suffer the fatal defects of bitcoin.  The world wants, needs this, even if they don't know it yet.  In 10 years time, I think 200x minimum, or back to a nickel.

The best part is that Monero can walk the path that Bitcoin has paved, meaning Monero can piggyback off/improve upon everything Bitcoin has mothered while avoiding many wrong turns, and where that road ends we have the means to go further.

Consider the counterparty risk by using tumblers, the cost associated (usually some % + lots of time), and the traceability of Bitcoin. This is like using HTTP vs HTTPS for sending sensitive information.
200  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation on: September 13, 2016, 01:36:24 PM
The biggest issue Monero has pricewise is lack of liquidiy. Sure there are decent amount of btc bidding XMR but it is not enough to catch the dumps. Bitcoin is currently fairly stable and actually is in nice bull run.
I hope the volatiliy will not harm the adaption. For me I do not care my stash, it is too small to care but I am more worried about the adaption.
How can you possibly have liquidity when the marketcap is only 130m and the coin is the second most traded since bitcoin? The trading/marketcap coefficient is 1/11, while in bitcoin is 1/70, in Eth 1/100 and in dash it is also 1/100. Only after 7-10 times increase in Marketcap or 7-10x decrease in trading volume the liquidity will get more stable.  

How would it look like if there is a buy order of 13 000 000 XMR near the current price when there is only 12 900 000 XMR in the whole universe currently?
To be low volatile the market cap has to exceed the current marketcap of bitcoin. There are bitcoin whales who can dump bitcoin to the bottomless pit.

One thing I do not understand: why the big guys dump their Moneros? What is the point? Isn't it better simply to drive the price higher and higher and higher. Those same whales will benefit because new people will adapt Monero and once the new people hold it for some time they are also happy with the increase in purchasing power.

Why not just drive the price higher than the price of bitcoin...? It is possible but it requires a lot of dollars obviously. But the dollars will come when there is a bull market.

Prisoners' (bagholders') dilemma?
