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

[24Kt]

Bittrex delisted Monero along with ZCash and Dash which was a weird decision sparking concerns about a regulator crackdown on privacy coins.
Monero is known to have the best privacy and we have also read previously about the IRS hiring Chainalysis to find a way to trace the transactions.

Can Bittrex know something others don't or acted before anyone else for their own reasons? Will Monero be delisted by more exchanges? Price drops and I'll be waiting to buy.

Bittrex has always had shit volume that was driven by arbitrage and nothing else.

They have major problems with regulators and are trying to show what good little boys they are.

That may be the case here. Bittrex has already lost its luster among crypto users. But let's see if Binance.US will follow on this move. If not, bittrex is just deciding on their own even without any threat from regulatory bodies. XMR has a lot of users, so I don't think it will go down just like what XRP is experiencing right now.

Agreed. Bittrex also has not delisted other anonymous coins Aeon and Grin. This makes me speculate that Bittrex only does not want to spend on legal advice on how to proceed with anonymous coins but also want to be safe hehe.

@smooth. Did Bittrex contact anyone from Monero’s development team before the announcement?

Let's see if they list again in 6 months

Rough waters ahead for privacy coins. Best of luck to see who survives.

Who needs Bittrex. Support the exchanges that also support Monero.

Open source developer grants from Kraken have also been available for XMR for a few weeks now.

I remember bittrex delisted bitshares (in fear of listing security tokens just because bts has shares in its name :d)
But in the other hand it is only matter of time when governments will fight against privacy crypto!

GRIN is designed to remove too...

So you guys that use Twitter want to start calling out the Fudders?

I've seen posts like "Monero has unlimited supply" without context FUD.

All it takes is a few concerted Fudders to scare the uniformed away if no-one calls them out on their lies. The Sheeple are easily manipulated.

I have updated the GUI from 0.17.1.1 to 0.17.1.4 and now when I launch it

I have the warning:
"Wallet is not connected to daemon"

And then:
"Daemon failed to start

Timed out, local node is not responding after 120 seconds.

Please check your wallet and daemon log for errors. You can also start to try monerod.exe manually"

Why is that?

Have you already tried rebooting your system? Also, do you use a custom data directory for the blockchain?

Sorry to answer to this only now, I had to work on other stuff meanwhile. I am still stuck at the same point. I have updated the GUI to v0.17.1.8 and the Ledger app to 1.7.4.

And still the error message:
"Daemon failed to start

Timed out, local node is not responding after 120 seconds.

Please check your wallet and daemon log for errors. You can also start to try monerod.exe manually"

And trying to launch monerod.exe manually doesn't work.


So yes indeed, the data directory for the blockchain is not at the same place than the GUI software. My C:\ hard drive is an SSD which is full, so it looks like the blockchain data went to D:\bitmonero\... while the GUI software is within C:\

So what should I do? Reinstall everything on my D:\ hard drive? But since this is not a SSD, the synchronisation will take forever

The de-listing of privacy coins from regulated exchanges was the inevitable escalation in govt attempts towards totalitarian financial surveillance.

Ironically, while this shows these privacy coins work, the market is "upset"

Decentralized exchanges still list them ;-)

Monero(XMR) is one of the good altcoins and pioneering coin in this business industry.
ALso I can't even imagine why Bittrex delisted it, honestly before Bittrex was one of the top exchange but now it
turned into a shit exchange platform just like the other that has no good background anymore in this
crypto space.

Are you still losing connection or are you connected by now. If not, you can add a specific remote node https://www.getmonero.org/resources/user-guides/remote_node_gui.html
