[XMR] Monero Speculation

[mastertrader777]

I have a hunch that they will release the gui wallet sometime before Monero trading on AlphaBay begins on Sept 1.

Soon..

Well that might be icing on the cake as far as price rise.  Looking forward to the GUI myself.

Not happening before Sep 1.  I will ride the NYC subway naked if the GUI is released before Sept 1st

No you wont.

He is ofcourse lying about his mining and of how profitable mining is.  Mining was very profitable when price was halved. Now is super profitable. But for sure miners will join with time.

Do the math yourself idiot. A single GTX 800 hashes at 600H/s - that is .2 XMR per day

I have XMR loans out on Polo for 0.49% a day for 60 days. Should they be out for the full duration that'd be a 29.4% XMR return.

Doubt we'll see those rates soon again though. Got them in when the price were around 0.005 and the XMR loaning market were illiquid since people rather took margin with their XMR or wanted to be ready to sell their XMR when it was breaking out thinking it will be temporary. Whoever has my XMR now is trapped inside a horrific short position and seemingly unwilling to cut losses.

This is something for miners who do not care about trading to be aware of. Next time XMR breaks out be sure to check out the lending market instead of taking the 0.15%/day rates you have there now.

   I've still got a couple 0.49's out there, but don't expect to run the duration. We touched that range again yesterday, but I was too slow to take advantage. Still, lending has been pretty good this week.  I've bought my own coins a few times

So you agree the GUI won't be released before Sept. 1

I was just thinking that I would certainly be arrested so you are correct there as well.  Didn't originally think because that's how slim of a possibility I think it is.

As for price speculation, even though those with skills far beyond mine are predicting significantly lower prices on the horizon I just don't see how that can happen.  Too much new interest and the dnms will not be a bust.

Just say it has something to do with feminism and you will be fine.

If you search for xmr you see the same data but by region it gets interesting - Canada is going hard for XMR.  Noticeable also that there's still not much interest from Europe or Australia - so big markets still to get on board.

Keep in mind there is a quadbike manufacturer called XMR, which is what the canadians are searching for.

Not happening. Too many issues still unresolved in github. Last I heard, the dev was going away traveling for a few days. So don't hold your breath.

I observe that weekends typically favor the coin-of-the-hour.  While XMR is more like the coin-of-the-century, for now it is also coin-of-the-hour, coincidentally.

I've noticed that too, especially when there's a bit of upward movement on Friday afternoon. And especially with XMR.

I am quite surprised that this little treasure didn't garner any comment.  A lot of people in China are getting their very first exposure to XMR.  This bit of editorial content was echoed on numerous web properties.

When I clicked the link I couldn't make sense of it.  It certainly doesn't look like Chinese.  This is what I presume is the headline looks like.

I think they are using the name of a Euro/Chinese market Ford, the "Mondeo" in that article.





But I don't know much about Chinese.

Unlike Mondeo Bitcoin, it can make every transaction can not query, and no one can find money to pay people. Bitcoin user's wallet is a single address, anyone can query all transactions, while Mondeo was every transaction generates a different address, only to master the query key personnel can see the transaction history.

Some experts believe the Mondeo more "secure." However, the popularity of the Mondeo range has not been expanded.

Yeah, they mucked up the encoding metadata since I looked at it.  I will find one of the other sources...

“暗网”出现新型网络货币 隐蔽性远超比特币

摘要：据俄罗斯“卫星新闻网”8月24日报道，“暗网”上已经发现一种新型的线上货币，其隐蔽性超过比特币。据报道，“暗网”上的犯罪分子一直在寻找匿名的货币来从事违法和不正当活动据悉，大多数人都会用比特币在“暗网”上购买和出售毒品或其他违法商品。 虽然使用比特币可以在一定程度上保护犯罪分子的隐私，但是比特币的每一笔转账都是可以查询的。

资料图
最大的毒品和其他违禁商品交易市场Alphabay宣布，他们将于今年9月1日起使用蒙迪欧(Monero)作为交易货币。
蒙迪欧不同于比特币，它能够使得每一项交易不可查询，没有人能够找到付钱人和收钱人。比特币用户的钱包地址都是单一的，任何人都可以查询所有交易，而蒙迪欧则为每一笔交易生成不同的地址，只有掌握查询密匙的人才可以看到交易记录。
有专家认为蒙迪欧更加“安全”。不过，蒙迪欧的普及范围尚未扩大。

The use cases for XMR in China are even more compelling than in the U.S. and Europe.  Also note that this came to the quasi-state syndication system via Russian newswire.  Clearly there is Russian language media exposure as well.

The chart looks like th hungry caterpillar! Bullish!

[birr]

I think it came out "Mondeo" because, with no direct translation, they had to phoneticize the word Monero.  Then of course the phoneticized rendering had to be rendered phonetically yet again, back into "English."
Kind of the way "pocket monsters" became Pokemon.
This is the perfect opportunity to create a jokey Mondeo meme.
China ruv Mondeo!
Mondeo to moon!

...

Short term that chart looks quite bearish to me; however many long term investors and speculators will consider a short term correction bullish after the recent sharp rise.

Where do we need to draw the lines now for Aminorex's marketmaking?

I'd like

1.  a BitSquare.io node
2.  a market-making bot to (safely/dispassionately) manage a few 1000 XMR worth of buys and sells on the BitSquare

I believe that's the path towards fixing the potential single point of failure Polo dependency.

I am not in the game, but personally, I think anything under $4 is a steal.  Lucky if you get it.

In case you are talking about rpietila's recent posts, which I really enjoy btw, he is clearly talking his book.
