[XMR] Monero Speculation

[willyum]

I am using the GUI wallet on a mac. Is there an update? What happens if I don't upgrade? It says on reddit I will be kicked off the network. Will I lose my coins?

You will not lose your coins.  You do want to download and use the updated version.

Thank you capslock. How do I update it? Just download the new version? Or do I need to replace files etc, I find that hard to do.

I'm not on a Mac... but I think you should be able to install it discretely.  On my PC I just unzip the folder and run the gui from within the new folder.  Your old downloaded blockchain should work.

Just make sure you have a(n accurate) copy of your seed words.  That is all that matters.

Monero is the next big thing in crypto world. Its totally untraceble and this makes monero fantastic.
Transaction fees are little much more then other competitors but it worths who wants the real privacy about their money.
Wonderfull tech and dev team and wonderfull community will make monero above 1000$

More bullish news for Monero: blockchain analysis traces bitcoin, litecoin, dash, zcash transactions but is stumped by Monero - https://themerkle.com/blocksci-succesfully-traces-transactions-performed-with-dash-zcash-and-other-currencies/ XMR up 5% at $155.50 on news.

The merkle article oversimplifies the real findings of the reseach work : https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.02489.pdf
In particular for zcash, only transparent adresses can be analysed, which is the expected behaviour since user need to activate the z adress to preserve anonymity.

Extract from the original article:
Zcash is also supported, at least to the extent that Zcash blockchain analysis is even possible:
it introduces a complex script that includes zero-knowledge proofs, but these aspects are parceled away in a special type of address that is not publicly legible by design.

I still prefer monero than zcash for the same reasons as many (massive premine, trusted setup...), but  we need to be honest when reporting these findings.
For dash, the conclusion of the merkle article is still valid.

super panic sell? what do you think?

Where? Bitcoin is dropping, LTC dumped, XMR is ok.
Maybe you go to their threads if you look for panic.

there are those who see it as a panic sell and those who see it as pre-winter sales

Buy on the dips!

[btcdee]

I am one of those who rage quitted Monero after the fake fluffy pony "announcement" 3 months ago. I have since been trying to re-enter hoping for that elusive major dip. Hoping today is that day though price seems to be exceptionally resilient to the big China FUD. Oh well, going to watch dumb and dumber today... need to relate to something.

Earlier this year is hot trend of Ethereum, Ripple (January -> May) and also is the trend of Litecoin (in May).
From June till September is the trend of Bitcoin
=> September to December will be trend of Monero is possible - my conspiracy theory.

Hi, you need to visit the official site at https://getmonero.org/2017/09/07/monero-0.11.0.0-released.html and download and install the new macOS graphical interface today before the hard fork tomorrow.

The entire market is hurting as one of China’s big crypto-market closed down. I’m sure that very soon the entire market will correct as people buy the dip. Nothing to be worried about, although it’s a good chance to fill your bag.

[aminorex]

So boys...

What's it gonna be a slow drift down to ~0.02/~100usd or another correcting spike up to ~0.05/~250usd?


We will get to 0.05 eventually of course, but this year or next year is the question.

Probably a slow climb to around 150-200$. But it all depends, more (bad) news about regulation and making Monero illegal would probably give a faster growth as any publicity usually inflates prices.

I think we will hit .03+ in the coming weeks - hoping to see it in a few days - but who knows... this is crypto!

That happenned. I sold some, now bought it back.

[aminorex]

My burning question is this,,, why or how on earth did Dash become so much, that it is more than even Litecoin and Monero combined?

Dash is half the value of Litecoin and Monero combined.

$2,570,335,070 / ($4,107,157,475 + $1,789,823,701) = 0.435873032876712 = 43%.

Masternodes is the answer - so much of the supply is tied up.. plus the largest holder is the megawhale..

Monero really has not disappointed its holders and I am sure it will also make through the future. But it is definitely not at the top of the list at the present moment and honestly speaking, it never will as far as altcoins like Ethereum are out there. Still, let’s see how far it can go.

Eth was toasted by the ICO ban in China and will get hammered by the lack of ICOS in the u.s. compliant with pages 9-10 of the SEC opinion paper.  Any ICOs offered to U.S. persons will necessarily be restricted to HNWIS and institutions for the foreseeable future, and frankly, the bond desk at some reinsurer isn't going to be dabbling in ICOs any time soon.  That leaves prop desks and family offices.  Prediction: Eth becomes a UK/swiss phenomenon by the end of November after new EU rules come out.  How long it can stay kicking in UK and derived (Gibraltar looks pretty good) jurisdictions remains to be seen.  So far they seem pretty darn friendly.

Now if you could ICO a token with a known NAV... that would be interesting.  I don't think prop desks and family offices will play a game of bigger fool.  That one is over. The eth winter will be a long one.  Btc will comeback soon because 21e6.  New ICOS will need to market better and show some substance to due-diligence in order to thrive.  Once that second generation of ICOs starts to pop up, eth will soon bottom out, until they all start using Lisk (for ease of coding) or Tezos (for ease of correctness proof) in which case Eth may never come back.
