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

[Anon136]

I'll just use that new credit card I got.  What's one more maxed out credit card?

You are joking right?

No.  Do I pay off CC or buy more Monero?  Obviously buy more Monero.  One of the best things I ever did.  Less than 2 years ago I was eying the last can of beans on the shelf. Now I have beans and Monero.

I'm glad it worked out for you but remember you haven't truly won until you cash in your chips. Maybe it's a good time to take some profit off the table and pay off those high interest loans?

This is coming from someone who has never carried a balance of even 1 penny ever in his life so your story terrifies me.

Sometimes its the right move.  Worked for me, as described, except I played some margin to pay it all off on this rise without actually selling any of my moneroj.  Finally.  And CC doesn't always mean 'high' interest.  Most of mine were 3-6% until about a year ago when the banks started dicking me around.  Now I just give them the finger they most deserve

They try to lure me with card signup bonuses, so I take them, pay off my balance, and move on to the next card when I fulfill the requirements. My little way of sticking it to the credit card companies Locally, I tend to spend cash though to help out business owners on tx fees

My 2+ year old <$300 comp's HDD  just died.  Of course nothing is backed up except on the computer itself.

God damn it Carl.  You had one job!

Buying on margin?  What could possibly go wrong?



Just kidding you guys... 

Nioc, you need a Dell workstation.  Precision or GTFO.

I haven't installed  Wolfram Warptangent yet but it looks like I will do so on a brand new computer.  My 2+ year old <$300 comp's HDD  just died.  Of course nothing is backed up except on the computer itself. I have seeds.

I'll need to get one off the shelf tomorrow probably at Micro Center.  Any advice for the resident company idiot?

Try to get one with a ssd hd, and make sure you don't get some really old/refurbished cheap one that has a cpu without aes-ni.

Now that I feel rich I can get a nice one. I'll just use that new credit card I got.  What's one more maxed out credit card?

I love my Asus. Looks like they are taking styling classes from alienware now.

Some dude wants to develop another GUI for a mere 200 XMR.

https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/86924/nice-gui-wallet

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/53lsqv/anyone_interested_in_an_alternative_gui_wallet/

He says he can do it in 1.5 weeks.

If you think the proposal is worth funding, please post on the forum.

Worst case scenario, he misses the 1.5 week deadline and the Core Devs get 200 XMR....

He should build the UI, and provide a donation address. If the UI is successful, he will get enough donations for his work.

Btw, what would be the minimum requirements for a UI? Create wallet, view wallet address and balance, view last transactions, send transaction. Would this already cover 90% of the main use cases?

Monero can't replace Bitcoin (for now) but Litecoin is easy target.

[jiggytom]

When will we know if the hard fork is successful?

[Drhiggins]

Over 511 nodes up and running at the moment.

Acceptance and growth.  Good signs IMO

100% Litecoin the one you want to knock off, at this point in time it really serves no useful purpose.

I would also like to see Ripples lose their market share, it's worrying that they are worth so much.

Yeah and everyone was calling me an asshole for digging into the RPC. I warned you all it was a point of vulnerability and no-one would listen.

And we will do it again unless it's more than HYPOTHETICAL! RANDOM THOUGHT! WHAT IF!

(next fork in 8.7 hours)

So amazing that we can still just HF without a big drama. I am ready!

Seen it earlier at 524. Much higher than 6 months ago when it was at 100 or so.

I predict that within 4 months XMR will exceed and hold steady above LTC's marketcap.

Please link to both:

1. Where someone was calling you an asshole

2. Where you pointed explicitly to it and spoke exactly about this particular vulnerability.
