[XMR] Monero Speculation

[lolikop]

I call 5$ a coin by end of april

I think this might very well be the first time that fewer than 300K total XMRs are available on the sell side. Sadly I think that a vast majority of the community still doesn't have the know how or have the willingness for cold storing their XMRs, something that will undoubtably change with easier GUI and hardware options that are actively being developed.

There were many times less then 300k XMR available. But never when there was 1000 BTC ready to buy them.

Appeared to be resistance at .0034.  I felt like if that cracked, we'd race to .0038.  But it didn't crack (yet).

May be stating the obvious but it looks to me like as/if/when eth cracks the savy people looking to hedge against bitcoin are trying to edge into monero.

I'm tempted to sell as it seems loan rates explode right before corrections but there's not that much room in this market cap and supply for the newly created eth millionaires looking to hedge.  Could be a bad week for a Monero shorter.

Eth goes up and eth owners have more money to put in.  Eth goes down they become more desperate to hedge.

I am speculating, but the amount of nodes is increasing over the last few days. Are people firing up extra 0.9.2 nodes just to make sure we will have a smooth hardfork? Thanks to luigi1111 this node runs another whole month.

- Nodes: https://monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html
- Countdown timer: http://myrcraft.com/xmr.html

Whoa, 200 nodes! That is the highest number I have ever seen (hopefully not just cold storage that gets unfrozen..).

Interestingly Spain, Portugal and Italy don't have a single node. Still some ground in Europe to cover I guess.

200 that is the most I've ever seen too.  Growth!

Oh well, I have enough but I still want more LOL.

Make sure you forward port 18080

Mine doesn't show since  0.9.2 update, but status shows all good.

When your node does not show up (anymore) on the map, your port 18080 is not open for outgoing connections (and not really being a supporting node!). Maybe you rebooted and the firewall rule is not saved (I actually still need to figure out how to do so). As well Monerohash.com only updates once an hour.

From the excellent guide by Sadam how to add the firewall rule:

Code:

sudo iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 18080 -j ACCEPT

In Linux you can check whether the above rule is active by typing: sudo iptables -L
Type 'status' in bitmonerod to verify if you have any outgoing connections (eg 8+14 connections).

My node runs the same way every time I need to restart it.  Although it hasn't happened in a while there were times that it did not show on that map after restarting.

Lending rates (to short) up to 0.2% now.

I was able to lend for 0.900 % a decent stash of Moneros. Interests are accumulating like crazy. 

[hitchingAride]

I wish I loan out a bit higher at least I got a good amount loaned at 0.01 and it seems kind of insane to be short. I don't know how I could sleep at night if I had a short order in xmr!

[bitjedi]

Remember, XMR is the only other altcoin that you can short to buy other alts.  The XMR volume is higher than what you see in xmr/btc market because u need to add in the volume from all the XMR/ALT pairs.

[TrueCryptonaire]

Yes I wonder who the heck is taking the risk to short XMR at these levels. I hope there will be some market makers also at spot + 20 % to give liquidity in case of margin calls. The good thing however is that the margin call is only partial usually. For instance, if your collateral is worth of 19 %, then the margin call sells as many coins as the needed to get to the minimum level (it doesn't close the whole position immediately - only the part that is below the minimum level).

i tried early in the day with small chuncks at 0.8998, 0.9480 and 1.9%.
all were taken, the 1.9% is now closed but the two others are still in progress. funny!
