[XMR] Monero Speculation

[KeyJockey]

...aaaaaand we're back, $120 same as start of day basically.

Everything else still RED but quick Monero bouncey BOUNCE!



Could Mr. Market really have figured out so fast that this latest yet-again China Ban news is really ONLY good for XMR?

P.S. {Edit} LOL RangeDriver your exact same screenshot post beat me by 46 seconds

PSA: Users, (solo)miners, exchanges/merchants/services, and pool operators must be on CLI v0.11.0.0 or GUI v0.11.0.0 in advance of the scheduled protocol upgrade otherwise you will get booted off the network. Miners, please contact your pool operator to ask them if they have upgraded!

When the upgrade has to be done?

If the upgrade is not done, the wallet will just not sync?

I just has to replace the old files with the new ones? No need to start the sync from beginning?

1. Before approximately the 15th of September.

2. Correct

3. Yes or create a new directory and copy over the wallet files.

4. No, the daemon will pick up the sync where it left off.

Can I leave my xmr coins at bittrex? Or do I need to send'em to a wallet?

Yep, just run 0.11.0.0 instead of 0.10.3.1 and everything goes smooooth, as always.  What an awesome team.

I guess that's your call.  Do you trust them?  If you're not trading with them, I would personally suggest taking them into your own hands (If you don't hold it, you don't own it).

Would you recommend any tutorials on how to take out the coins from bittrex? I've never done it before!!!

From what I’ve heard whenever the Chinese government bans a book about 10% of the population reads it. I can imagine the same would apply to crypto currencies.

Also, it appears that 120$ is our new glass floor.

I find it a bit "weird", a big Korean pump on Monero exactly a few hours before a Chinese rumor about Bitcoin.

Also, don't you think it might be interesting for Monero if China were to "ban" Bitcoin? The Chinese would need an anonymous currency to keep their assets out of governments sight.

I don't use bittrex, so I won't comment on that side of it, but I infer from your post that you would be happier waiting for the GUI to create your own wallet.  It's not that hard to use the CLI though (hell, I did it!) and plenty of tutorials available if you choose to act immediately.

this is probably the simplest to just create a storage wallet:

I keep my all XMR on Bittrex though... I do feel safe with them.

[s1gs3gv]

The ability to withdraw coins from exchanges is subject to regulatory and other 3rd party risk, however trustworthy the exchange is.

[cryptonic21]

Monero is still among very few who survived chinese news. Volume is also not so bad - only very few can still beat it. I can not predict the future. But at this moment Monero looks like the most safe heaven. But we never know the plans of the people who make the "chinese news".

Yes, it's fine!

So speaking of other coins, I'm interested to hear what some of you think about the Agoras project. It seems to be very ambitious project which is in pre alpha since 2015 and based on a new programming language called Tau Chain (which is actually what is being developed for such a long time).

This is the announcement: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=950309.0

And an interview with the dev: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFmaX-oumNw

"Ontologies are expressed in RDF language family (Resource Description Framework), or simply JSON-LD.
We propose a software client that stores an ontology of local rules, and determines its actions using a Reasoner. Reasoners are tools that infer new rules or conclusions given old ones. They do it intelligently - using pure logical reasoning, and they also supply proofs for their results. Tauchain node is therefore an intelligent agent able to communicate with other agents, at the very same language they're written with, which is quite human-readable."

So this project goes in the direction of AI and perhaps comparable to the Wolfram Alpha project.

Also notable is that the dev, a guy called Ohad, and the originator of the idea, HunterMinerCrafter, have split up and are working on their own versions of Tauchain.

Edit: Sorry if this too much OT. Was just curious to know what some of the brightest minds on this forum think about this project. OP can go ahead and delete this post if too much OT.

I checked this out when it was first announced and followed the conversation between Ohad and HunterMinerCrafter and found Ohad to be competant but overreaching in his goals. HunterMinerCrafter is just brilliant IMO. Do you have a link to his project? Ohad is more of a programmer while HunterMinerCrafter is a cutting edge mathematician I believe. I do not see that project ever coming to fruition but wish Ohad the best as he's put a massive amount of time in effort into a lofty goal. I forgot the original name of the project but it changed direction after HunterMinerCrafter became involved and brought OHAD up to speed on some very deep subjects. You should go and read the original thread.

Do you have the link to the original thread that you mention?

I don't think there is a link to HunterMinerCrafters project but you can find out more through their IRC:

what's Autonomic project project?

The Autonomous Nomic Overlay Network
aka Autonomic
aka A.N.O.N.
aka oldtau

We are all of the tau developers, less Ohad, continuing with the original project plan.

You can find us in #autonomic on freenode IRC.

Thank you.

I'm not sure where old thread is because i forgot name of old tau

HMC found it.

LOL "whistling past the graveyard" much?  The English may have been fractured but the basic technical info they spoke of was still quite true.

Anyone happen to save a copy of the essay and/or a screenshot (for, you know... "posterity" at least )

Anyone gonna sue Equifax? I think it might be fun.

Hey guys is there anything I can use to get a notification when a price hits a certain level?

[KeyJockey]

Oh man I cannot stand how evil these fuckers are... so apparently now after this *hack* was revealed, IF you sign up for Equifax's "free" credit monitoring in the wake of the attack, after checking that your name/SSN is affected on their site, THE SMALL PRINT OF THEIR SIGNUP MAKES YOU WAIVE PARTICIPATION IN ANY CLASS ACTION AGAINST THEM ? ? ?          

Jesus-H, there should be a separate class-action for JUST THAT against them now too, damages on top of damages... FFS how low can these fuckers really SINK?
