[XMR] Monero Speculation

I am happy to see that Tutanota has responded to our request. Lets keep in contact with them to ensure they receive all the assistance they need. Other privacy focused businesses may follow the lead of Tutanota if all goes according to plan.

Keep contacting privacy focused organizations. We can accelerate merchant adoption by being proactive. I see no reason why we should sit and wait for merchants to approach us.

The I2P team is another good short term goal for xmr donation acceptance:

what would be wicked awesome is if we could arrange that totanota offer @getmonero.org email addresses via their service, or any of our communities owned addresses. Probably that one though. we'd have to see if fluffypony's up to it.

Man guys, i`m waiting for a long time for the monero wallet, when it will come out.

I dont want to sound like a 5 year old begging for a wallet, but really guys, its been alot of time since inception and still no user friendly wallet.

I dont see the price skyrocket anytime soon until this is not resolved

Based on my knowledge, yes.

I'm going to sound like a total newb... but what exactly does a GUI do?  I looked it up on wikipedia and it tells me:

In computer science, a graphical user interface or GUI, pronounced /ˈɡuːi/ ("gooey")[1] is a type of interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices through graphical icons and visual indicators such as secondary notation, as opposed to text-based interfaces, typed command labels or text navigation. GUIs were introduced in reaction to the perceived steep learning curve of command-line interfaces (CLIs),[2][3][4] which require commands to be typed on the keyboard.

So if it is just using icons, what purpose does this have with monero; or any other crypto currency for that matter?  It seems like a really important factor to a coins success... and even though I've always looked over it for a short while when reading posts, now I would like to fully understand what it is, what it does, and why is it important for monero to have one.

At the moment, to use monero you need to use command line. For many, especially windows and mac users, this is not very intuitive and "easy" thing to do. Its easier to use graphical interface to operate your wallet

The monero designed wallet is here: https://imgur.com/a/ERheR
Its not yet ready.

Its important, because having graphical interface for monero software, would increase its adaptation and use. At the moment, many users avoid it due to being afraid of working with "difficult" command line.

Damn, that finished product looks insanely nice! Going from the original GUI format to that in 1 year is lightning speed fast; so going off of what I've read and can remember off of reddit, the end product will come around next year during summer time? Is there an app with this type of wallet interface being developed as well?

I'm so glad one of my buddies recommended me to xmr... just bought my first 100 xmr tonight and going to be pumping as much extra cash into this as I can easily afford.  Hope this endeavor doesn't flop, I've read in a lot of places that it's pretty easy for alt coins to go to dust in a matter of seconds.  I don't think this will happen with the support of the xmr community though

Welcome to the party! One of the main things keeping this from going to dust is everyone wanting it to be awesome. So, find a way that you can make monero awesome. It may take a while to figure out what *it* is, but there's probably something your good at that could greatly benefit Monero.

I absolutely agree with this. Everyone can contribute in some way! Decentralized currencies require decentralized leadership in all different areas.

FYI there is code that implements it. What is missing is wiring up the UI to the back end (so for example when you click "send" it actually creates a transaction and transmits it). https://github.com/monero-project/monero-core

You may wish to consider some discussion we had on this thread recently:

I'm surprised this thread has so many views and replies.

The reason is mostly consistent interest for 18 months. There are usually coins with more interest at any given time but they tend to burn out quickly.

However, regardless of what any of us say here you should do your own research and be skeptical of claims you read on the internet (or anywhere, but especially on the internet and especially on the internet related to cryptocurrencies).

Thanks! I'll definitely be checking this thread more often now, and investing more time into xmr.

Idk about that, I don't have the slightest idea of what I could do to help Monero personally since I'm pretty much technologically handicapped when it comes to cryptography.  Maybe I'll find my nitch somewhere in this area, but for now, I'll stick to earning cash with my regular job and switch all remaining funds I have left over besides bills and bar tabs   But now that I think about it, it would be cool to come up with some sort of hobby that turns into a profit. I've been seeing all over this forum about people selling physical bitcoins, has there been a physical Monero coin yet? I like to build stuff in my spare time and wonder if making coins would be a good idea? Wouldn't have a clue of where to start, but it could be a nice side hobby of mine... If that doesn't work out, then I guess it would be a good way of having my own personal cold wallets to give me piece of mind about my monero funds.

However, regardless of what any of us say here you should do your own research and be skeptical of claims you read on the internet (or anywhere, but especially on the internet and especially on the internet related to cryptocurrencies).

Yeah, I'll definitely be researching a lot more... but I mean where else could you go when doing your research about cryptocurrencies, more specifically monero? A library? lol...

But from what my friend told me about the community and the few posts I've read on reddit (with the proper motivation given to me by americanpegassus) I've decided to put my small investment into xmr which won't hurt my bank account right now... and I mean who knows; I know if I had 100 BTC for the price of $0.40 right now, I'd be one happy SOB.

For the non-technical contributors, there are always things to do in terms of improving the web site, social media, creative marketing ideas, outreach to merchants, users, and opinion makers, etc. And also crowdfunding of various Monero-related projects which not only helps the projects but gives you a direct say in what projects get done.

However, as a new arrival I'd suggest that you simply learn as much as you can first, then decide how you can help Monero succeed.

Fully agree. Please dont jump and get hyped about any coin, because of some strangers in the internet. Take time and do plant of research and, before you start trowing many on any coin.

I guess the main question I would have now is, where would I go to do a non biased research on the coin I want to look further into?  It seems impossible to do this, especially with all of the information about cryptos being on the internet.  What made you feel strongly about Monero in the first place?  What makes you feel even more strongly about Monero now? I want to see for my self, but I would have no idea where to start.

Two things that help with all of the bullshit ...

1.  History.  Look into the origin of a coin.

2.  Followers.  (IE Bobsurplus vs tacotime)

Yes, its difficult to find un-biased source of information. Thus it takes time, to get to know a coin, its community, development, plans, history, etc. For example, if you interested in monero, search google, reddit, forums, etc for monero, and see what people write about it. Obviously you will find plenty of opposing opinions, so its up to you to decide at the end. So check opinions against monero, opinions supporting other coins, ask questions, etc. It takes time.

Maybe good start is this website which seems to be unbiased and compares different coins in therms of their launch:
http://www.devtome.com/doku.php?id=a_massive_investigation_of_instamines_and_fastmines_for_the_top_alt_coins

But still this is only one website. More research you must do probably.
