Crosspost:

We're forking testnet for RingCT testing. Everyone is welcome to participate and try to break it.

v3 happens in a few hours (just a change on coinbase validation).
v4 happens in a bit more than a day, and rct txes become allowed.
v5 happens in 3 days, and rct txes become mandatory (save if you have old unmixable inputs)

Pull the latest master. You don't need to resync anything if you already have a testnet database.

fluffypony will make binaries in the next day or two if you can't.

Made a small purchase of Monero the other day through ShapeShift getting in at 0.0074 and just looked at the price this morning, very happy, great start to the week!

Trend seems to be leading to a new ATH in 1-4 hours -- if not, then we might see some dumps when it breaks the lower rising support line.  Get your BTC ready.

Did it just hit 10$?  
Edit: Nah, maybe a tiny bit less.

Or 7 minutes after your post! To be honest I was hoping for a drop to buy some more, I sold a few at ~0.008 to recoup my initial BTC, wish I'd just held now but in the words of GZA "you needa diversify yo bonds, nigga!"

I'm thinking a drop to below 0.01 is pretty unlikely now, but I'll set some bids there anyway, just in case. Otherwise it looks like I'm holding for the foreseeable future.

According to https://www.tradingview.com/chart/?symbol=XMRBTC*BTCUSD
it was $9.83 max

Last week went from .004 to .008 pretty sharpish....wondering if this week we just plough through from .01 to .02

Aminorex was spot of about this weekend 'coin of the hour'.   I guess it will settle at some point - maybe the end of the weekend will cool it off?

OTOH a lot of serious money will only see this on Monday....  The market cap pushing towards the 100 million level is huge news.

Everything just changed - and I haven't had this much fun in crypto since 2103

Reading up on the thread, but are you from the future? This is the perfect place to share any inside knowledge.

Oops - well spotted. Not enough sleep in the past 24 hours watching this stuff develop... in mitigation, Your Honour.

It's not a pump. 

I imagine it must be difficult for newer 'crypto-nites' to understand that there was a time this environment wasn't about 'pump and dump'.  When there was just BTC (and then LTC) growth was always seen as natural with adoption curves that were either steep or shallow.

With the proliferation of alts in 2012/13 there was an increase in PnD merchants (remember Fontas) and from there crypto has become the perfect investment environment for a generation with the attention span of a gnat.  If an investment rises sharply it has to have been 'pumped' and any growth that is sustained is unnatural and must be 'dumped' within hours or days.

I have always hated that terminology when I see it being used in the generic sense of a price rise whether or not manipulation is the motive force. But it is the same folks with the gnat sized attention span that seem to want to call it this. Also the idea this rise is some sort of market manipulation is dumbtastic. It's hilarious really.

These idiots like to think that there are some nefarious whales in the background pumping up the price. But they never stop to think how much it would cost to cause a price rise on this level with this magnitude of volume just by market manipulation.  For what reason?  To what gain. But I suppose those of us who do understand basic math may stand to profit from these idiots.

Now, to revive an old phrase from the 90s. There is such a thing as irrational exuberance. I am being very careful to try to recognize when it becomes a serious factor in the price... but it is so hard to do in the moment.

Agreed.

Of course what we are witnessing at the moment is momentum based on years of steady development and community growth that is now inspiring "irrational exuberance" - a much different factor than the "whale".  And of course there is going to be a correction at some point (probably a few), at which point these same folks will cry 'dump'.  

I do blame Fontas for a lot of this, he implemented and empowered this style of lazy trading analysis -- in many ways it was genius because he understood these people couldn't take on board much more than pump, dump and whale.

Looks like we're testing that psychological $10USD barrier - personally, (as someone in the Eastern timezones) I don't think China cares about it
