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

[Anon136]

The very first time I ever heard the word "Bitcoin" it was uttered by max keiser. That was all the way back in 2010. He is a bit of a bafoon to be sure but I owe this man such a debt. Anyway monero is on his radar now apparently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9gEtncAUDs

It would be great if Max can help push Monero price to the highest level. 

Maybe. But it might be too early for that still.

Any good news coming for monero?

I couldn't catch last few pages. Is there a hard fork coming? What's the reason? Can someone summarize latest events?

Yes, in a few days. Not much changes in it, and you'll be fine if you're running 0.9.4 or later.
The fork after this one will be a big one, adding Shen Noether's RingCT transctions (gmaxwell's confidential transactions married to Cryptonote's ring signatures).

As for latest events, we seem to at last have some merchants (darknet ones mostly so far, let this be a hint for purveyors of totally legal stuff to step up their pace! ), and a few fiat exchanges.

Can anyone give me some free monero ? 

Never seen or came across monero faucets, if anyone know better to have them listed here to grab few monero. As monero seem to be capable of making same history as bitcoin over few years.

back in 2014 when monero was born there was a user on here ... thefunkybits maybe? who was giving way XMR for twitter tweets and such, but that's all I have ever seen.

You can come on freenode IRC channel #monero or #tippero and get some from me via tipbot. At this point especially a faucet doesn't make sense due to the very high tx fees.

I buy the XMR with an expensive price

HODL

I still don't have idea why people buy when the coin reach the Euphoria... noobs...

Yeap, now hold for a year or two, still have potential.

LOL.. C'mon... a year or two? That's a bit pessimistic, IMO, but hey we all have our thoughts as to what will happen.

I buy the XMR with an expensive price

I have also bought some in very high price like 0.023 to 0.0215 and now panic after seeing so much dump. But i think if i don't sell i will not loss any so basically waiting for another good pump so that i can sell mine at even higher price than i have bought at.

Same here. No problem with me, I don't constantly watch the price anymore, I'm over it. The coin has a future, whether or not you believe in it.

Monero are now looking like this




Yeap, wait a year or two

[owlcatz]

Lol.. that's a bit of an exaggeration, unless you are talking about your own present financial situation. Currently, I'm up 800%, so I don't know what your point is actually.

Awesome! And the below seems to be an important detail:

Updating: Blockchain Conversion

Due to the space savings and performance gains it is again highly recommended that you delete the contents of your Monero working directory and sync from scratch. This directory can be found in ~/.bitmonero on Linux and OS X, and on Windows in \Users\username\AppData\Roaming\bitmonero or \ProgramData\bitmonero.

Updated && downloading blockchain ^^

According to that image analysis, the price of XMR should come back to $2, so I'll wait for that to buy. Great comments on the chart though.

Deleting the contents means deleting everything including the wallets. I understand to back up but are we to delete everything?

The preceding question was brought to you by the resident computer idiot.
