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

[cryptospreader]

Monero is rising sharply day by day. Is it a natural rise? Or is it a planned pump? Are there any special news coming ahead  for monero holders?

Within the last few days I think both of the two largest dnms have announced that they will support Monero, with one already having it implemented.

Monero is now on Stack Exchange with Bitcoin and Ethereum.

GUI is getting close to complete (in testing)

RingCT coding is complete (in testing)

Hi im trying to withdrawal from my online wallet in mymonero.com but give me a red message saying too many amounts ,  all data i revised 100 times and its correct, anyone moar having this issue ??

Try a smaller amount. You probably have a lot of smaller (dusty) inputs, which inhibits you from sending it all at once.

yeah its the wallet i use to collect mining rewards ,,, all incoming transactions are of 0.3 XMR each few days, so.... how much can i withdrawal in 1 time ¿  

can i send all my balance to my same wallet so ive got 1 good transaction incoming?

much thanks for response/help

You cant plan pump monero like this. This is people finally starting entering monero. The whole year is only good news but the catalyst was darkmarkets accepting it. And there is a reason why they did.

Dark Markets accepting MONERO = MOOOOOOON. 

[aminorex]

I haven't said anything like the following in a long time...

With so many new folks about to pour into monero... getting the GUI out very SOON would be a BOON.

Rocket to the the boon igniting...

CURRENT MONERO PRICE 0.00493 BTC

Not the funniest thing I've heard, but probably the most heart-warming: Monero for all mankind - To the BOON!

Who can cook up a legendary BOON gif?  AP?

Which darkmarkets are accepting Monero? Can't find any news or links about this although everyone is saying it.

Has XMR been introduced to Chinese exchanges or do yall have plans to advertise to them?

Does anyone want to take over the Hungary node?

https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html

I would like to take ownership back in case nobody else wants his very own Monero node for the equivalent of just 4$ per month (payable in Bitcoin, or Monero through XMR.to).

No other coin offers the privacy, untraceability, fungibility, and security in a decentralized system (no trusted setup required).

If the Mossad ever gets around to releasing zcash.

Can you support this claim in any way? I would even be interested in anecdotal observations that point this way.

Yea this is frustrating. I really wish mymonero had a "send all" that would send the largest amount possible given the state of your wallet.

Well if alphabay is starting xmr September 1st should be a good long term investment. If alphabay follows through then the rest of the dnms will should also.    Glad oasis took the leap first.  This is after all... how bitcoin went from a couple bux to what it is today.

I see that slowly XMR is getting some legs on "real" markets , probable if it will be to secure some agencies workes will spown arround xmr DEVs,
sadly best stuff for people gave shaddy persons like that one from truecrypt, he wanted hide so he developed good stuff and now its shutted down.
I wonder how it will go with XMR will goverments  force people  to use tracked eUSD or shit like that.

Could be great if we could buy Raspberry Pi with Monero node, to let run somewhere in your house...

[Azael]

Monero has strong fundamentals that sit right with me. I'm keeping my market analysis to myself for now though.

[criptix]

Can anyone tell me if mining xmr is economically viable?

Would also appreciate advices for good buy-ins. Right now it seems to be big time fomo.

As someone who didn't make the Mossad comment, I will say that the high level of involvement of industry titans and people from banking backgrounds makes me very wary. https://z.cash/team.html  In fact, I checked out that page a few weeks ago and saw that some had government backgrounds. I didn't see that today. That makes me even more wary.

...as if the trusted setup issue wasn't enough of a problem:

1. On anonymity hype:

As Richard Stallman said,
1.  You may want to support anonymity of most payers/donators generally,
    but you may not want to specifically supporting anonymity of receivers/services, including evil ones/gun sellers/....

2. Most of the technical foundations of blockchains aren't all new.   
   Important are the social developments.   

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ_3MKomQzY#t=220

Transparency VS Anonymity
If society had to chose one it would keep Transparency.
but there is no Transparency VS Anonymity  knock-out

(Neither   Direct democracy VS 'blockchain immutability'  to make another example)

Each thing exists to some degree anyway. Bitcoin supports annoymity as far as you an fun an account anonymously.
We (society) have to go for the best/safest design to define their scope and co-existence responsibly.
There is always advantages/convenience to be unlocked, yet more importantly we do not want to enable dangers.

- If something represents anonymity only in exchange for transparency that does not represent what supporters of anonymity generally meant,
 and it will not be used widely, when most people and legal behavior will stay out for good and all remaining users may be under general suspicion .

(Similarly:  If something represents 'blockchain immutability' in exchange for direct democracy, then it also does not represent the pure original point/relevant, but much rather the specific trade-off to favor immutability against direct democracy.)

But of course you actually want to come up with a solution carefully sorting out the safest combination of everything relevant

 2. Beware of the ongoing Monero pump.   

-Trollbox calls for buying or selling are more often false than true. 
-When shortsqueezes happen the market is in perpetual motion up for a short time but can crash any moment and the risk/reward ratio is worst.  Every money you throw on it may end in the pumper's pocket. They may also control spikes up and down in interest rates and thus trigger waves of waiting orders.

-Once people calm and stop falling for the hysteria,  the order book and trading volume vanish ( alone with the sneaky pump&dumping opportunity they triggered),
but before that they are not afraid to trade their >= Bitcoins in circles, wasting tons of fees,  raising irrational FEAR and FOMO equally.

-Other cryptonote based currencies did not jump a lot

- I correctly alerted several pumps already:
 Especially Monero and Factom pumping on the same day happend before
 (and was noway sustainable)
