It is amazing the difference a few letters at the end of a word make -
Trust + ed ≠ Trust + less
Any system that requires a 'trusted' setup will never be 'trustless'. Thus I would never use ZEC or any derivative thereof, as it is the antithesis of the very foundations and fundamentals of cryptocurrency.

The money grubbing in crypto space is really something. Rather than contribute to a fair coin like Monero, sure, fork an existing coin and pump that because you can perhaps make more money that way. Welcome to the real world kid. This is how we all do business because when it comes down to it, it's all for one and me for myself. yea, how long market will be - how long there will be speculation

ZCash has way more problems than the trusted setup, starting of course with the effective on, 10min blocks, 8 MB (2 MB over 2.5min blocks) blocksize limit. Seriously after all the debate and lack of resolution in Bitcoin over this why this was not addressed in ZCash is beyond me. This "slow launch" over the first 20000 blocks has also set up early investors up to fail in a big way, with a fall of ~10^4 from its ATH at ~2.4 million USD. A further fall by a factor of 10^2 or 10^3 is actually not unreasonable for this ZCash bear market. Then we also have the further short / medium term irritant of the RAM requirements for sending the anonymous transactions. How does all of this impact Monero? Well ZCash has become a rather interesting and somewhat entertaining side show. It may have a small positive impact on Monero because of the launch fiasco.

I can't find a good answer on how much RAM Zcash requires for its anonymous transactions. Do you happen to know? Also, how bad is it as far as CPU usage? I've seen claims that Zcash can't be used on mobile devices due to these requirements.

Well I'm glad to see Monero up a bit. Maybe people are starting to realize Zcash won't totally kill the market and that Monero is a solid technology?
Maybe it's painfully obvious that if you go back to the same levels BEFORE the pump even started -- 0.06/btc -- a price that was steady when there were NO DNM's using Monero.... it's probably a sign that XMR has been oversold and this is probably a good entry point. RingCT and GUI is still yet to be released, as far as I know. There is plenty of room for growth from here. The market can still be irrational and re-visit 0.06 or even dip down to 0.04 as BTC keeps looking hella bullish. But for long term 0.06-0.08 is solid imo. It also helps that Zcash is turning out to be a disaster... what kind of idiot would support a coin where founders get 20% of all supply lmao. RingCT essentially gives Monero the same features as Zcash I think you are missing a zero just to the right of the decimal. Monero opened this year @ 0.001142 so we are up ~715% since then vs btc and btc is up ~62% vs USD so......hold on I have to take off my shoes. And no the pump started before 0.006, around 0.00420 and there was obvious upwards pressure before the pump. I can say what has happened but as far as what will happen I can say little except............overall up over the long term, unlike almost every coin.

Also the usability (RAM/CPU resources) comparison will be made, and Monero will come out ahead easily. As you say this is a medium term concern likely fixed by improved technology longer term, but for now it will be mild to moderate positive for Monero.

I'm not sure about the RAM requirements. The last estimate I saw was taking about a minute of CPU time for transaction on a desktop. That probably varies depends on specs, but it will very likely be longer and certainly be a high battery drain on mobile.

I would like to give a shout out to these prognosticators for predicting the "great capitulation". They convinced me to sell a few hundred moneros I trusted you, man! LOL Oh well, let's see what tomorrow and rest of week brings (0.004x could still happen?)...hopefully I can buy them back close to where I sold them, at least. Anyone care to speculate on price and this bear market...? Risto flipped to 'maybe 0.004', Aminorex is sadly absent. We have seen bottoms below where I expected (I can't be alone in that), so it's tough for all of us who know Monero is sound and will rise again - but is all speculation dead while BTC looks this bullish? Are we just waiting...? My thoughts?: I have said here and elsewhere that I can't see a serious rise for a while - probably not even until Spring. But does anyone want to polish their crystal ball and take a guess at where the bottom is or even when stability will come... And will we hold value in USD terms even if BTC does moon...? This is Monero Speculation, right? Anyone who thinks this is going anywhere right now other than to the 0.004x range is blind, stupid or both. And, I can't fight the feeling that we'll see the capitulation now. Well my gut is not always correct but sometimes it is

Well my gut is not always correct but sometimes it is I'd be surprised if this is a true reversal -- we haven't really tested a low with high volume yet. However, XMR is way oversold and the fundamentals remain sound. So.........? When in doubt, do nowt (as they say in Yorkshire).

Based on your post above that means zcash has a much more limited adoption ability when it comes to the end-user. Nice.

Zcash's technical difficulties can be solved over time.
What can't be solved is the 'trusted setup'. A 100% no go if you use the coin for it's fungibility and privacy. Who wants to risk jail time or life based on trusting six people? I rather trust the math and maybe myself to some extend, although external pressure goes a long way. A 5$ wrench comes to mind.
Additionally the 20% cut to the founders of every block found, for four years, can only fixed by forking. Which I would encourage.
I just don't understand the hype, except for traders and speculators trying to earn some extra BTC / XMR / USD.

LOL He said capitulation is coming, but not who will surrender. It was pretty obvious that XMR would not fall below the prepump price.

I love what i am seeing now, we should be happy guys, monero is skyrocketing again.. I like the price to go again at 0.02 level. Any idea why is this happening now? Is it worth to buy again or wait?

Volume is tasty....
We need to properly break 0.01 again to say the bear run is truly over, but this volume spike is very positive.
It does show that XMR can turn on a sixpence and any decent good news could be epic. I still think a new rise to the real heights will need patience. Variables are of course GUI and BTC.
Zcash threat looks to be have been weathered, though. It's looking a bit 'meh..' Monero doesn't care.
