[XMR] Monero Speculation

[maydna]

Meanwhile, here comes 0.005btc, about to be tested....gonna be fun when the US wakes up and sees this.

Some serious FOMO.

its really serious that XMR will reach 0.005 because its now 0.0049. geez its a good pump for XMR and i hope its up until reach 0.01 like ETH and Dash yesterday. its time to watch out the market for XMR

I think 5 MILLI SAT is very possible this year - if AlphaBay does follow and other markets.

mega-satoshi, or bit-cents, I think you mean.  And I would agree, contingent upon actual end-user uptake.  Merely having the option available does not constitute actual use.  If XMR takes 5-10% of the DNM monetary load, 0.05BTC is quite achievable this year.  That would be a relatively rapid adoption scenario, however.  Vendors really don't want to support multiple currencies, and deal with pre-release software in the state of Hydrogen Helix today.  For that reason, I think it is a lesser probability scenario.  I would estimate that it will take about a year to get to that level.  The only thing likely to accelerate the schedule is increasing AML/KYC restrictions and block-chain analysis by both exchange sites and LEOs.

Good place to store / hide your wealth if you are a big time vendor / also dont forget now XMR is on many vendors radars. It has also gained reputation due to Oasis and AlphaBay looking into it.

Dude why don´t you just come up into the IRC and ask the questions directly, instead of hoping fluffy is tripping over them here. And if he is not there maybe someone else is capable of answering you

Tripping over them? What? We were in the middle of a conversation and I waited a week for him to answer before I even bumped it. XMR started here and it's where I go to talk about it. And apparently no-one else wanted to address the issue.

Stop acting like i kicked your dog, someone asked a question and I answered honestly. That is all I have done the years I have been posting here. I also prefer to have my questions answered in the main thread as it is a good repository I can search. I hate keeping logs.

I'm fairly certain if you were willing to go out of your way to get the answers to questions you have, you would already have answers. There are other means of communicating than this forum.

Interesting how my offhanded remark (answer to someone else) got sidetracked. If I was losing sleep over it I would have made it an issue then. I just see it as a negative that the conversation got halted before I got to the crux of the conversation which was why add in a protocol with an the same curve we may have to fork away. It didn't make sense from a security standpoint and I wanted a simple answer to the vetting process which instead of getting an answer I got completely ignored. which in itself makes my tinfoil hat tingle.

Your replies do show that you aren't that interested in getting the answers you seek. Obviously you aren't losing sleep over it. Not sure why it's a topic of discussion then if it's not that important to you to seek the answer to question(s) you wish to find and not attempt other avenues to contact parties that could answer your question.

On topic: Happy 1000 pages. Monero going up...too fast I'd say...but seriously who am I to say so.

XMR volume just went to #1 on poloniex for the first time I've seen in a while. 
Shorters dump, and the bids just fill it in again

And Monero tops the Poloniex charts once again.

Can you stop wasting everyone's time ?

Pretty much every post you make is you crying wolf over something you found by keyword matching, and expecting people to reply to your huge sense of entitlement. That's why people ignore you.

Aren't you the one who said who had the skills to help out, but wouldn't do it because we didn't have a map of the code or something ?

Nope, I said I used to have those skills and they have deteriorated and I can no longer function in that area. I really wish I could. If your lucky you'll never have to deal with loss of skills. Anyway nothing is perfect and XMR is the best ALT (actually better than BTC in my mind still) but I do see flaws specifically in the development not being transparent enough.

How are we as a community supposed to monitor the security of the project from the outside without the simple things I've asked for? You guys try to lynch me when I ask FOR FUCKING LOGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they don't exist say so. I'd rather see shoddy development then have my questions skirted. Scammers don't answer questions. I never thought I'd see that attitude here.

Busy people also tend to not answer questions either (depending on how busy they are).

You do appear to have a sense of entitlement.

If you are so passionate about getting answers you could always just spend what you feel is the correct amount to hire someone to find out the answers to your questions without having to demand and throw a hissy fit on the forum regarding said topics.

No offense, but shouting and banging your head against the wall isn't doing you any good.

When I've wanted answers to certain questions I've explored every possible avenue to get them, not just on this forum.

And only once out of several dozen times was I not able to get an answer, but it wasn't that important of a question, more out of pure curiosity.

Alphabay/Oasis is like the perfect, organic PR campaign we were discussing a few pages ago, descending from heavens, packet and ready to go.

This gives a good idea how significant this is. I'm sure it is not uncommon (emphasis added):

Could you give me a couple of the benefits of Monero? I've never heard of it before and don't even know how to acquire it, although I can't imagine its much different than btc

This is not surprising. I suspect there is still quite a bit of leg work for people to be aware of monero.

Bitcoin gained awareness due to its price increase and illicit use for illegal substances on SR etc.

The analogy is a snowball rolling down the hill...monero is probably the size of a fist of snow gaining momentum as it moves forward.

68% of the valuation of XMRBTC is theorized to consist of dark market energy.

Did I mean 2014?  They blur together in my mind, the years of pain.
