[XMR] Monero Speculation

[LucyLovesCrypto]

Some serious kinda pump this last hour or so since I woke up.  Wow.

Wow...and a change of 500 btc in the order book. 

Dose walls, doe!

Most alts are up so its hard to say how much was XMR specific.

Regardless, after the official GUI comes out I think we may never see sub .003 prices again

Is there anyway to follow the development of the GUI?

info on the project github is here. feel free to contribute.  https://forum.getmonero.org/9/work-in-progress/2476/the-official-qt-gui-project

looks like a soft eta based on current development so far is some alpha version in a few weeks.

Hey guys,

I'm all new to Monero and also to mining - could you help me setting up my system to do some mining? Is there any tutorial? Apparently I'm too dumb to find one

There is a mining thread here with some info: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=653467.0

There is also a help/getting started section on all the pools you can check out, for instance: http://minexmr.com/#getting_started

Or log onto freenode and ask for help in #monero or #monero-pools channels.

In response to the first poster:

There is no specific ETA. However, there is someone actively working on the GUI, see:

https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2476/the-official-qt-gui-project

His work and the activity can be followed on:

From reddit:

I'll be out all day - but android / iOS versions in the future (I'm not as comfortable with those platforms, so it takes a bit longer).

Looks like Monero is heading towards north pole. I hope it will not encounter too many polar bears though along the way to up.
The next stage from 0.003 to 0.004 might have some resistance but eventually the resistance can be overcome and left for good.

LOAN OFFERS Total: 51740.99914053 XMR

I vaguely recall them being over 100k this morning or last night. Anyone able to confirm this?

Also, rates are around 0.1%, which is quite high.

[TrueCryptonaire]

Usually green candles increase the rates. The increase in the number of short positions is a bullish sign - after all the shorts need to be covered, and not just the principal but also the interest which will help Monero in the future at the cost of today's resistance. Also the current spot buyers probably get a good deal when the shorters bring liquidity to them.
That will create a business opportunity to Monero OTC sellers: price your sells at spot + 15 % premium, then just buy the coins from exchange for spot + 5 % by placing a big buy wall to which the shorters will dump and try to recover perhaps at spot or a bit below.

Well holy sh!t!   It was .01 and loaded a few hours ago.  I put some offers in the .1 - .25 range for 'later', and they are all out now.   Better put some bids out to buy them back and relend 

[rangga90]

monero will be up agian?

[CryptoAddict]

i think shorters feel very confident shorting at 300k+, because history has shown that price will retrace to 270ish. But I think this time it's going to be different. We will see

Not sure, you could try of course.

Bump, still no progress from the pools listed below. All others have upgraded and are safe to mine on.

Bump, none of the pools listed below have upgraded yet. However, Minergate said they will upgrade soon, see:

https://twitter.com/MinerGate/status/710727384136335361

PSA: Users, (solo)miners, exchanges/merchants, and pooloperators must be on 0.9.x (preferably 0.9.2) in advance of the hardfork otherwise you will get forked/booted off the network. If you are mining on one of the following pools, please contact your poolop immediately or switch to another pool.


Approximately the 23th of March there will be a hardfork on the Monero network. Most pools have upgraded, but some have not yet. If they don't upgrade before the hardfork they will get forked/booted off the network. As a result you will miss out on revenue if you are mining on these pools. Thus, if you are mining on the following pools, please contact your pool owner as soon as possible and urge them to upgrade. Alternatively, you can switch to a pool that is on the right version.

FYI: You can plug the blockheader of your pool into "http://moneroblocks.info/api/get_block_header/hash_of_blockheader". The minor_version must show "minor_version: 2". This means that the pool is on the right version. If it shows "0" or "1" the pool is on an outdated version. An example of a pool on the right version (Monerohash):

List of pools that haven't upgraded yet:

• If you are mining on a private pool, please check the block header manually (if the pool is on the right version) using the method I described.

You can find most pools here:

Some of the aforementioned pools are listed there as well. If you are switching, avoid the aforementioned pools.

Monero v0.9.2 - Hydrogen Helix - released! (Urgent and important bug fixes for the upcoming hard fork)

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/releases/tag/v0.9.2

<fluffypony> will do shasums / gpg signed mesage tomorrow

Information from Github:

This has urgent and important bug fixes to 0.9.0 Hydrogen Helix

• Major performance and size improvements to the LMDB database implementation
• Urgent and important bug fixes for the upcoming hard fork
• Huge bug fixes to the database hard fork handling
• New simplewallet flag to restore from keys
• Initial work on a wallet library / API
• Updated in-source block headers

General hardfork information:

Background:

https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/303/a-formal-approach-towards-better-hard-fork-management

What are the change(s) with the upcoming hard fork on the 20th of March?

• Blocktime is bumped from 1 to 2 minutes. See:

https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2401/increasing-the-block-time

• Minimum blocksize is bumped to 60 KB. See:

https://forum.getmonero.org/20/general-discussion/2409/increasing-the-minimum-block-size

A big advantage of this is that current individual transactions that sometimes won't go through (because they are a bit above the median due to many outputs (e.g. dust), or the daemon / MyMonero rejects them for some reason) can easily be included in the block without incurring a penalty. Above is a bit of a blunt explanation, I am sure one of the core-team members / developers could give you a more detailed explanation.

• Finally, the recommendations from the MRL team stated in MRL-0004, of which the minimum mixin >= 3 is probably the most salient. See:

https://lab.getmonero.org/pubs/MRL-0004.pdf

P.S. Due to variance the hard fork will likely be on the 21th or 22th of March. A specific block height was determined for the hardfork, not a specific date. The specific blockheight for the hardfork can be found here:

https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/blob/master/src/cryptonote_core/blockchain.cpp#L83

// version 2 starts from block 1009827

P.P.S. As long as you are on any 0.9.x version in advance of the hardfork you are fine.

does anyone know how to create a PPA repo so i can just apt-get install bitmonero?

[CryptoAddict]

Not sure, you could try of course.

It's not even possible to download it until you upgrade to Windows 10

Fucking microsoft
