[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Techray]

Hello, can any one say, why XMR price goes up? Any reason for it like some update, meting, release or smth.. or it is juts ALT coin rebound?

Most altcoins have rebounded. But they are led by Monero.

I´m looking to buy some XMR. Does Binance still allow
withdrawals up to 2 BTC (or the equivalent in another crypto)
without requiring KYC? Any other exchange that is recommended
for buying XMR?

According to Coinmarketcap HitBTC is the exchange with the most volume,
but to be honest they seem pretty sketchy and the exchange subforum at Bitcointalk
is full of scam accusations against them.

Just go Binance imo. As of today, no KYC needed for daily transactions up to 2 BTC (as of yesterday for me, not that I have that kind of coin to worry about it!).

Unless you're planning on buying a truck load of monero, 2 BTC a day is probably plenty!

There is something to be fixed in the Monero GUI-wallet. At least in the Linux version.

Only way to open the GUI is to type ./start-gui.sh in command line. Too complicated for many people. There must be an icon to click.

When the GUI is shut down, the flag and language selection box still remains open. It must be shut down from the ubuntu desktop launch menu by right clicking the Monero logo. Too complicated for many people. The GUI must be able to shut down by just one click.

When the GUI is shut down on full screen mode, the flag and language box which still remains open, is on full screen mode too, so the ubuntu desktop launch menu and the Monero logo in it, is not reachable. So it cannot be right clicked and shut down. Only way is to open the wallet again, switch of the full screen mode, shut down the wallet and right click the Monero logo in the launch menu. Too complicated.

Pease fix these.

i'n my opinion this is a joke? no gui?    bwaaahahaha

What the hell are you talking about?

Could you perhaps post screenshots to illustrate your second and third point? The GUI should normally close fully if you click on the x (right top), hence my question. Furthermore, the GUI is displayed in a single window / screen, i.e., the flag and language selection box / screen is not a separate window.

Ok. The problem can be avoided by clicking x on the right top. Everything shuts down at once.

I have closed the wallet by selecting "Settings" and "Close wallet". That way the flag and language selection box remains open which has to be shut down via the ubuntu launch menu. Most people have used that first one. So there is no problem white this one. The "Close wallet" is there just to shut down the wallet so the user can open an other wallet from the flag and language selection box. That is fine.

Anyway. When the "Settings" and "Close wallet" is done, on full screen mode, it would be better that the flag and language selection box would not appear in full screen mode. So that the ubuntu launch menu is visible and the flag and language box could be shut down there.

Ah I see. The purpose of the Close wallet button / feature is basically to close the current wallet, not to close the whole GUI program. As such, you will be back in the wizard, where you can first select a language and subsequently create a new wallet, create a new wallet from a hardware device, restore a wallet from the mnemonic seed or keys, or open a different existing wallet.

what type of computer software/hardware will you need to mine monero? how do you calculate payout? say if mine 24hrs, how many Monero will one get?

Any kind. But you will have different efficient rate depending on suitability of hardware for XMR mining.
Usually with mining calculators. One is here: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr?HashingPower=100&HashingUnit=H%2Fs&PowerConsumption=0&CostPerkWh=0&MiningPoolFee=1

whats the best way to mine monero? joining mining pool? or independent mining? thanks for the info

I think it is better to join pool yes. Because you get reward if you find block solution or not. So it is more stable income.
You can try solo mining with official Monero GUI. At least you could when I tried few months ago.

You can join this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=653467.1060 -> [XMR] Monero Mining for more explanations.

The idea of anonymity, which is embedded in the platform of this coin, is now also advanced. But, it seems to me that the platform engine is somewhat outdated.

I read that Changelly requires KYC sometimes, which is a big
disadvantage for me. I´ll go with Binance now, because the 2 BTC
limit for unverified accounts is still available and that is enough for me.

Buying XMR at an exchange that does KYC kind of defeats the purpose
of using a private cryptocurrency like Monero in the first place.

Price/Volume seems to pick up now.

Yea. The current wallet can also be shut down by pressing Esc. I think that is unnecessary, and even a problem since it can be pressed accidentally.

What people think about it?

When Kovri is put into service, what will happen to this map?
https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html

Will there still be those points, but in random locations?


Anyway. Are those blue points indicating precise location? How precise they are? What are those balls with random number?

Cryptopia is also a good address for accumulating XMR 

Yes and No. In the sense of anonymity almost every email address is compromising your anonymity if you have the tools for that. KYC and AML regulations are good for crypto in whole to get rid of the "darknet" and "criminal" touch of crypto, as long as we have not to face some shitty exchanges as circle poloniex, which are freezing your account for nothing.

I wish there would exist an xmr.to in the other direction aswell, that would make life a lot easier

That should be good.

And meanwhile, need to recognize that XMR well grew in price over the past few days. We must assume that the growth will continue for some time. I very much hope so, at least.

Is that a legit USD on/off ramp for Monero w/o the KYC hassle?? Never knew of this site before..

Balls are that you need to zoom closer. Ball with number 3 means that on that location are 3 nodes. if you zoom closer you will get more accurate location. I think those locations are of your internet provider and not direct location where you have computer with node running. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.  And you need to run node for some time to get on that map you dont get on map if you run it just for few minutes a day to sync node. I believe with Kovri that map will vanish. But again someone can correct me if I am wrong.

Is there any new piece of info about the project of fork regarding the decrease of ASICs and FPGA hashrates ?

There is no ASICs and FPGA hashrates. They were until 4 months ago and then went to mine XMO or something. Check its hashrate to see how much was it and what is that hashpower doing now.
