The continued lifting of Monero to new heights in the voting list is inspirational!

To support your loyal community we decided to create an original and recognizable image. It needs a name, and it's up to you to come up with something suitably memorable for the guy!
Monero is now in the top 10 and your active voting will most likely put it in the lead sooner or later.

Did you make this from scratch? Can you provide source files? Looks awesome, this could really be a great mascot. +1 for naming it "Luke".

[hitbtc]

It has been a pleasure for us to look at how you've all picked a name for the Monero Mascot, it was really inspiring. We are very glad that you liked our present.
We all witnessed the birth of Luke the Moonshot and as any other coin now he aims for the Moon. And we hope that Monero's appearence on the Hitbtc exchange will be a giant leap towards that goal 

As you know Dogecoin has already secured its place on HitBtc through active participation of the community. Now Monero also has a chance to get there too.

I am trying to transfer small sums, like 2 or 1 or 3 moneros, and it keeps saying the transaction size is to big, whereas yesterday I was able to transfer more than 5 monero at once, what is going on :/

Thanks, but I was thinking more like .psd files or whatever you use. Do you draw these yourself or did you hire a designer ?

The problem is dust from the pools - you have a huge amount of inputs when spending. Pools won't sent you dust any more and in the next version the wallet will split the transactions for you (with larger fee). Currently your only option is to send smaller amounts (possibly to a new wallet of yours so you could then transfer it all at once).

I lost about ~20 BTC here  why XMR is down!!!!!!

So! Like every other shitcoin monero get listed on mintpal, get pumped and after that get dumped . I fall in the trap of pump just because have too much confidence and was thinking that monero is something different. I was wrong

Monero hasn't be pumped on mintpal yet... only dumped!
I has been pumped on poloniex before mintpal arrival.
There will be probably some pump on mintpal one day, probably not too far away, when big mintpal pumpers will have accumulated enough cheap xmr to launch the pump.

.PSD - This one is for your good intentions. Luke was drawn by our staff designer, so yes to both answers

Not enough short term catalysts.

Last week, there was "Mintpal".

nothing really for the casual investor to look forward to on a rigid or short-term timeframe.
i'd expect the next price rise when there is, unfortunately.

There are not enough buyers to sustain a price of say 0.008 at the moment. 24k XMR is being mined every day, at 0.008 that's 192 btc. Surely it's not all dumped on the market but it's certainly contributing to downward pressure along with people who bought higher that are now selling in panic and also people who bought much lower who secures profit in btc. Nothing surprising about this, every large price increase tends to overshoot and come back down. Hopefully you still got a decent amount of BTC, buying range 0.002-0.004 is decent (buy more the lower it goes). In fact previous increase when XMR was added to poloniex took us to 0.008 and down to about 0.0017 before it turned up again. I think we're staying above 0.002 this time though.

Perfect! Thank you very much. I may try to hire him one day if he is available.

Bouncing around the 0.004 support level today.
FWIW, I expect improvements to GPU mining and a dust transaction solution to drive the price down further. YMMV

[expert-lister]

No short-term catalysts, I send it to my wallet for future. I believed it will be growth soon but when is soon? 1 week or 1 year
My trading turnover is low now, because my main asset is XRM.
So we need ~300 BTC or more buyer daily for long-term pump

My target was .0045 as the bottom, but I'm thinking .0035-.0038 now.  Anything in .002 is just to cheap.

Buying into fuss generated by a bunch of bots: way to go, man! Well, at least you realized how wrong you were before it's too late.

meanwhile block reward dropped bellow 16 xmr, and will keep going down

The reward did half but value didn't double signals something wrong with value, no? Why should it magically go up?
