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

[elrippos friend]

Hello all, for some reason i can't get my wallet connected to the network. I've already opened the correct port on my router and firewall. 2 days of downloading the blockchain and then it just lost connection. running on a iMac. any help would be great. 

Which version of Monero are you using. Please be advised, that 0.17.1.8 is the latest, only download it from the official source https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/

that's what I'm running and that's where i got the download from

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

still can't connect and couldn't get connected to a remote node either

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

Same happened to bitCNY. Genuinely it be a stable coin on bitshares blockchain, however there is a scam telegram channel speedily growing userbase, telling everyone bitCNY has now been ported to ERC20 standard, and that some airdrops be rained on joiners. Instances of fraud we see may allude to someone's trying to shunt the normal user flow to some scammy sidelines. Its clear to me, in this instance, that they wanna swindle rednecks of their XMR by dangling the non-custodial fancy before them: u lock XMR, they appropriate ur coins...

I think that Monero, as the most popular anonymous coin, should open its own decentralized exchange!
(The source code of such projects is available on the net)

Collect all anonymous coins on this exchange, so Monero will become the most popular and central anonymous coin and, together with other projects, will protect anonymity.

I think I can add popular anonymous projects for free, add 10-20 coins from TOP100 for free and this will solve the liquidity issue once and for all!

P.S. Add SafeCoin - they have their own exchange, this will expand the coverage even more, add KOMODO - they have a swap, add ALIAS and get a POS coin,...

Thanks for this new version.

I am going to download it and give it a spin up.

Bye bye attackers is good news.

My question is if wrapped Monero transactions are traceable. If they are, I'm not interested in.

Or is Monero team afraid of other altcoins?

I think the challenge now is to survive!
And you can live if there is liquidity, use, where to buy and where to sell.

Why wouldn't they be? They are normal erc20 tokens. Real question shoud be are Monero transactions traceable because ciphertrace as filed 2 patents and are claiming that they have cracked the monero privacy.

Oh no, not that nonsense again. 
The patents were not approved.
The topic has been discussed for months now.

Wrapped Monero could be interesting in 2-3 years when the Tari protocol is ready.

The problem is, someone has to do it.

Tor Hidden-Service P2P DEX Bisq is running very well. When Bitcoin<=>Monero atomic swap is ready it will be integrated.
Most of the coins have unfortunately been removed due to insufficient demand or inactivity. Anyone can list an asset for a few BSQ. Maybe XZC will come again. When the Lelantus privacy protocol is up next week.
Monero is the most traded on Bisq.

The only way to really track Monero, is to hire a developer which is infiltrating the dev community and publishing code to recalculate the transactions
