[ANN][XRB]Cryptocurrency's killer app: RaiBlocks micropayments

[Lucius]

To be completely fair, after the name change from RaiBlocks to NANO the price did go down and interest in the coin dwindled.

And this was during the heights of Bitcoin, devs should have kept RaiBlocks but I guess listening to corporate marketing teams is more important than the userbase.

It's possible that the change of name had some effect on price, but in general rebranding is not the cause that price is go down. BitGrail Nano hack is made much more damage than anything else since between 150$ million and 200$ million is hacked at that time. All those users who have lost coins then were deeply disappointed and most stopped to support Nano.

That was a big blow for this coin, and big BTC correction after 2017 ATH made the rest. It would be unrealistic to expect that Nano price is 10$ today, but in next BTC pump I am sure Nano will go up, so this is great time to buy more coins.

Personally, I would like to see more developers working on Nano or Nano-based projects. 48 contributors? I sure hope this goes up. https://github.com/nanocurrency/raiblocks/graphs/contributors Clemahieu leads the rest in commits.

This update came out couple days ago and it is very important because version 17 is going to play foundational support role for all futures enhancements and improvements. There are other interesting things in this article but what amazed me no one here gave any feedback. This shows people are not paying to attention to updates neither in pumping times nor in dumping times. Let's see how sooner they access these updates and share any opinion.

NANO will be next who will gain more value it is still silence while other markets are recovering so fast. I think when it will make its move than it will be like skyrocket than it is good time to pick this coin.

[irwanjabryg]

Get ready for January. There will be NANO/Nollar, NOS/Nollar, Banano/Nollar and BTC/Nollar pairs. Nollar is the first stablecoin based on block-lattice technology. Actually fully backed and being audited by PwC. No need for Tether.

Guys, when Nano was worth $ 16 I told you it was the end of Rai-Blocks when they changed the name and that before the end of the year it would reach less than $ 1, they all insulted me and treated me again and apprentice, now that it is .80 cents, who says something? In less than two months it will reach .20 cents and it will stay for a few more months in .20, then it will fall to value 0.5 to '0', it will not have any value and it will disappear ... continue without listening !!! !  

Asta la vista NANO

Nano price today have nothing with change the name / rebranding, but with BTC price which is pull down all altcoins. Last time Nano price was 16+$ is around March 2 this year, but ETH was also around 800$ in May this year and now is 90$. Take some time and study charts on coinmarketcap, maybe some things will be clearer for you.

If BTC price is fall even lower then Nano will follow that as other altcoins, there is no any mysteries in that.

Indeed there is no big mystery behind this why all altcoins are following the footstep of the king of this crypto universe. I'm totally agreed with you that is exact time to take advantage of low price if we have some patience than we can make big profit.

To be completely fair, after the name change from RaiBlocks to NANO the price did go down and interest in the coin dwindled.

And this was during the heights of Bitcoin, devs should have kept RaiBlocks but I guess listening to corporate marketing teams is more important than the userbase.

I disagree. To be completely fair my friend, the rebranding was not the main reason for the fall. It is the hack from bitgrail. A simple rebranding won't dwindle an interest if you are an avid user of Nano.

Based on the recent comments about bitcoin/ethereum (major coins) relation with the downfall, those are the comments which I will completely agree with.
 

[Odeoke]

I would like to know NANO have any chance to get listed on Coinbase in some telegram channels people are talking about this and giving buy signal before this announcement? I already have coin from long time as I believe this will keep moving forward and in long run it will make its place on higher position.

Industry Veterans Red4Sec Complete Penetration Test of Official Nano Representative Nodes; No Critical Vulnerabilities Found


December 21, 2018 — In September, the Nano Foundation enlisted Red4Sec, a leading cybersecurity firm, to conduct a professional and comprehensive audit of the Nano protocol. The audit includes both a penetration test of the official Nano representatives and node software, as well as a full audit of the Nano consensus mechanism.

“When we began the challenge of finding a firm qualified to conduct a security audit, we were immediately impressed with the knowledge of cryptography and distributed systems possessed by the Red4Sec team,” said Nano founder Colin LeMahieu. “Our team is confident that we’ve landed on the best choice to aggressively test the Nano consensus protocol.”

Following the completion of the penetration test, Red4Sec reported that no critical vulnerabilities were found in the representative node software. The consensus algorithm audit is nearing completion and a full report is expected within the next week.

“At Red4Sec we always like to learn about new disruptive technologies and at this point, we are impressed with the innovative vision of Nano’s solutions for peer to peer transfer of value,” Diego Jurado, Co-founder of Red4Sec said. “It is a pleasure for us to be able to actively work on improving the security of the Nano protocol, in collaboration with the Nano Foundation, a company which is concerned with improving the security of all its assets and the experience of its users.”

Interesting update NANO is getting more power for this rally they are active and team is expanding. I hope in next year this will show magical result like 2017 and community will remember this moment when it was available at cheap price.

[Devss]

Is is really worthwhile to hold 3400 xrb till the future?
Were they rlly sure xrb will rise or not get rejected? 

Oh sad. You are probably regretting now. If you have sold at 10 cents.

All the very best holiday wishes to the Nano community - thank you to all who have supported NANO over the previous year!

Who do we believe? Last year they said that Bitcoin was going to exceed $ 50,000 by December 2018 ... and now where are we? under the $ 5000? ... Fallacies ..

You guys should learn what is the speculation market rather than creating more non sense comments. I thought that everyone has known the risk by join on this market place. This is a wild market and that's it.

Guys, those who still have NANO would recommend that they sell everything, I thank God I sold them when they were still $ 16, do not WAIT for the value to reach .10 cents before March, sell today! or cry tomorrow.

[memii]

If you are saying truth that you sold at $16 that I agree fully was correct decision but now at current price not buying Nano with all this development and progress will make you cry. Nano after this long journey and development is much more stronger and has use cases so let's see who was right. By the way if there is no major event overall prices will remain in same range.

That's about where I got most of mine averaged, kind of lost big time there.

Especially with the price chart of NANO like this:
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/nano/
Low volume, low fluctuations of price range, and it has lasted for long period.
Time to buy is now.

Why would low volume be good again? Lots of development doesn't equate success am afraid.
