In any case, I think I do agree with the contents of the post, whether or not it is SN.

Bitcoin private keys can be used to sign a message. I believe there are some which are known to have been held by the original SN (though one can never rule out that they were later compromised), but I'm not sure. They can, but if he's never before, surely he doesn't value proving himself to anyone aside from through his words and actions, so why would the behavior suddenly change so drastically? Let's see. 4+ year absence. Writing from a different email (old one hacked), environment vastly different than when he left, etc. True, but would the real Satoshi care about justifying these things? Again, I'm not all too familiar with his psychology and history. Edit: "He used satoshin@gmx.com (from original Bitcoin whitepaper) and satoshi@vistomail.com (from email logs). gmx.com is a free email service that may or may not have had location based restrictions on registration at the time. vistomail.com is an email service from anonymousspeech, the domain registrar proxy he used to register bitcoin.org" http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5319/what-is-the-email-of-satoshi-nakamoto |

He already admitted he wants to stay out of the politics so it's not like proving himself should matter to him. |

You can quite easily destroy your credibility by promoting iXcoin. That's why. FYI: Monero is most likely a fed coin. Just ask the top hackers in crypto! So is DASH. That makes both coins good buys just don't go falling in love with another lie.  Link please. My credibility due to ixCoin has shot up. I've personally talked to Gavin and Peter Todd [last month] regarding testing the 20mb update for Bitcoin. I doubt those two talk to people with no credibility. I brought them together with the Chinese pools, including f2pool, a week before the 8mb deal was signed. FYI: Not even Brock Pierce has access to f2pool, but I do, anytime I want, on-demand. How's that for credibility from a guy who can't code and who launched ShitCoin? haha. As for the anon coins. There is no link just ask the top reputable hackers. And there are no true anon coins. It's a lie. There will never be a public anon coin even if the tech gets developed but you can bet banks, corps and govts will own and use it [exclusively]. You know, for your safety. lol This Blocksize issue is gonna reshape crypto in the coming months and Bitcoin will have no choice but to take on a few [alt-coin] sidechains, including the ones demanded by the Chinese. Maybe it won't be iXCoin, maybe that's their decoy, but I'm betting that's their top pick. Cheers! In my opinion, one's credibility should be able to speak for itself. |

I haven't been this excited over Bitcoin in awhile  |

The real Satoshi has never signed anything.
Can more people corroborate this? I am not familiar with his public history too much. |

Once there was a Chinese farmer who worked his poor farm together with his son and their horse. When the horse ran off one day, neighbors came to say, “How unfortunate for you!” The farmer replied, “Maybe yes, maybe no.”
When the horse returned, followed by a herd of wild horses, the neighbors gathered around and exclaimed, “What good luck for you!” The farmer stayed calm and replied, “Maybe yes, maybe no.”
While trying to tame one of wild horses, the farmer’s son fell, and broke his leg. He had to rest up and couldn’t help with the farm chores. “How sad for you,” the neighbors cried. “Maybe yes, maybe no,” said the farmer.
Shortly thereafter, a neighboring army threatened the farmer’s village. All the young men in the village were drafted to fight the invaders. Many died. But the farmer’s son had been left out of the fighting because of his broken leg. People said to the farmer, “What a good thing your son couldn’t fight!” “Maybe yes, maybe no,” was all the farmer said.
I've heard that one before...but TIL why everyone thinks Taoists (and Kabbalic Semites) are such smug assholes.  Would greater value invite greater incentive to steal said value? Does ETH's magnitude-higher volume suggest a greater amount of crypto held in hot wallets? idk, maybe it could turn out that some ETH hack too soon causes Poloniex to fold under excessive liability (unlikely, I know, but could the possibility exist?) Also, could sophisticated finance that is more likely accompanying ETH trading leak into XMR trading and usurp control of the market, skimming outsider traders? I have no idea. Edit: Here's a maybe more tangibly plausible scenario. Could sudden increase in ETH traders increase overhead costs like account verification, support, etc. to cause an increase in fees to pay for overhead (if overhead costs from a flux of new accounts is greater than what current volumes and the fee schedule can provide)? Another: could increase in workload from ETH overstress Tristan too much to the point of detriment? I suggest this because I just talked to him yesterday and he mentioned he's been insanely busy. I wished him that everyday is a day closer to an autonomous Poloniex. |

"Timing is very important and looks like all the timing is falling right into place. We got lucky."
Do we have a timeline for development?

The biggest problem though is price stability, that is crucial when running a business with overhead.
Then you might be out of luck as I don't think that's going away any time soon. If you're quick with your exchange sells then everything should be fine. Problem with that is, if they sell their bitcoin proceeds on exchanges they'll have to go through banks, and the banks will shut them down. Bitcoin price will not stabilize until both market cap and trade volume is much bigger. Right now it's too easy for a small-time whale to manipulate the price up and down. Volume may or may not scale. I'm sure there are even more avenues too. |

The low bound of the rising channel is like in .00205 so very good luck to everyone trying to sell his way there and profit out of it!!  Good, I'm glad the price is dropping again, just in time for pay day. When Monero is 2000 usd each, you do not care less wether you paid 0.70 usd or 0.60 usd for your Moneros do you. 1-6/7=14% is a pretty heavy chunk. |

Skimmed through a little, Bytecoin solicited CoinTelegraph for articles I think |

Looks to me xmr is being used as an hedge against btc.
In other words; btc down, xmr up.
Can someone confirm my thoughts on this?
thnx in advance
What do you think? If some asset A is priced by another asset B, what is A's general price relationship to B? |

There were a few blood moons seen over the last weekend, though none were expected from forecasters.  No blood moons sighted in Indiana for me. |

Speaking of Monero speculation, there doesn't seem to be a lot of speculation in Monero … just a nice steady coin with a thoughtful and focused development team with their eyes on the prize - private transactions and fungability. When the approaching 'Great Deflation' in crypto occurs, I predict Monero will be one of the last coins standing..
But I am just speculating …
Looking at the all time price chart the other day I realized that no one has really made any money on Monero yet... Well, not crazy 10x or 100x money. As fluffy has said, the primary motivation for this is to be a currency, not get rich, but if we are lucky enough to be the premier private global ledger then we will need to be "inflated" enough to be able to send a billion dollars or two across the blockchain without any severe volatility occurring from someone buying in or selling out. That can only mean one thing, and the greedy human in me likes it. The philanthropist is keeping him on a tight leash though, and thinking of things like Job Centers for the homeless and pay-what-you-want restaurants. Early miners? |

LMDB sync from scratch in just over 3 hours, and daemon using only 60MB to 100MB RAM. DB is so small I can't find it. What a difference!
I haven't built monero or synched from scratch with the DB personally but this is certainly encouraging news. Impressive, very impressive. With the reduced memory requirements is it time for me to set up my dedicated full node? I saw a brand new HP Intel Celeron laptop with 2GB of memory on sale at Best Buy last night for $179. It was too good of a deal so I bought it. I've been planning to create a Monero "pretty-secure" wallet station for a while so I'm not holding all my coins on Poloniex. The ultimate plan for the savings is to hold a third in a secure online service (currently Poloniex), a third on a full node running on a laptop only used to run that full node (with an encrypted backup), and a third in cold storage. Thoughts? Also, this little thing came with Windows 8. I've never used a Linux distro before, but I was thinking about trying it for this project. (also, I would obviously only play around with test amounts of coins until I am very confident in my abilities to send/receive Monero on a direct level) I don't know if anything is proven but given the possibility of backdoors in Windows is presumably greater than open source, running Linux would probably be a very prudent move. Besides, the earlier you start building familiarity with Linux the better. |

Are there any reason hold MSC anymore?
XCP have all great projects going Symbiont, GetGems, Spell Of Genesis etc but what there exactly are running with Omni?
MaidSafe is higher valuated than all XCP projects combined, based on coinmarketcap.com. And in regards to provided usefulness at the very moment (and volume) Tether is probably worth to mention. Worth noting that Symbiont is not listed on CoinMarketCap. I don't think Spells of Genesis is either, but I could be mistaken. Symbiont ? Is that another platform allowing you to create tokens out of nothing and sell them, like counterwallet? One is a business, the other is an open source web wallet. And the differences don't stop there. Here are links that you can click on to do some research on your own. http://symbiont.io/https://counterwallet.io/Wow, really useful links.. really helpful. thanks, I guess.. Sorry, you can find more information about Counterwallet here: http://counterparty.io/platform/And Symbiont here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2015/06/09/symbiont-blockchain-idUSL1N0YV1CF20150609Not sure what else to link you to if those don't help you figure it out. Good luck. Hmm, I wonder if tethers can exchange with Symbiont's eventual stock market tokens? |

Curious, has David LaTapie's relationship with Monero changed at all recently?
he's still listed on https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/people and iirc someone (fluffy?) mentioned a couple of days/weeks ago, that he's busy with some other stuff atm. Right you are: huge commit from Noodle, a lot of respect for your work, thank you! may i ask if david is still active? never seen him since we toped out  David is still in active contact with the rest of the core team but at the moment he's quite busy with some other activities, as we all are from time to time. I just noticed he didn't identify as a core dev anymore since February according to his LinkedIn. |
