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

[adamvp]

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.

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?

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

Well then it seems that you have to check your firewall settings. Have you tried to connect with no firewall settings at all?

"Wrapped Monero, brings XMR to the Ethereum network with all the flexibility of an ERC-20 token. Wrapped Monero (WXMR) is backed 1:1 by Monero and secured by BTSE.

Wrapped Monero brings greater liquidity to the Ethereum and DeFi ecosystem. It gives holders of Monero more flexibility to utilize their tokens without having to sell it for Ethereum or stablecoins, in order to access the many exciting opportunities in the DeFi space."

How do you rate this news? Is coloboration with Defi useful for monero?

Hm, i do not know if it is useful for Monero, for some users that might be attractive. I honestly do not care about ETH, DeFi and what ever other assets

I have tried with the firewall turned off and that didn’t work either. I’m really not sure what’s going on at this point.

Ok, but you can reach the rest of the internet? Are you working on GUI or on CLI? Do you have networkwise any possibility to check wheter you can reach a remote node?

Yes I have no problem connecting to the rest of the internet on this computer. I am using the GUI version. I’m not sure how to do connect to a remote node outside of the program. When I tried to connect to any remote node inside of the program that didn’t work.

Haha this is a fucking joke right?

What kind of a retard would do this?

Just reading your linked blog, https://blog.btse.com/introducing-wrapped-monero/ ,points out every reason this would be moronic.

This idiotic move would strip away every reason to own and use Monero ,even the custodial part!

Boy they will try and think of any reason to shake your coins loose!  Apparently they don't know the things that this is supposed to solve are already a part of Monero.

Changing your Monero into a shit token of a centralized over bloated chain that is failing under its own weight is so far beyond stupid that anyone that even considers doing this deserves to lose all their coins.

But of course if those coins are genuinely "locked up" 1 for 1   then we will see less supply and greater price. So it feel like BS or Win for us
