I think he fits those hilarious shirts better than Vitalik with his varity of "funny" shirts Maybe, I have only seen one picture of that kid and wouldn't waste my time even looking for one, I have no respect for him, Fluffy OTOH I do respect what he has accomplished with this team and would like to see him make an effort when being the face of Monero.Is being the "face of Monero" a responsibility he asked for, or is it one you're assigning to him? It's a role he stepped into when accepting the position to goto monero talks as a community representative. Is being the "face of Monero" a responsibility he asked for, or is it one you're assigning to him?
Inadvertently by his own posts and shenanigans, yes, he is currently the only "Face of monero" that I know of? & as the lead dev, should he not be? Edit - Do you see anyone else giving presentations on Monero to blockchain conferences? Point made, thank you. ... If I go around giving presentations, will that suddenly make me the "face of monero?" Am I then immediately obligated to wear suits? I just want to know when the suits become mandatory Professionalism becomes mandatory as some point, I am pointing out a glaring discrepancy between the way he addresses the two positions. I'm sorry if you don't like my opinion, but I speak my mind and do not worship at anyone's alter. Nor do I run to a sockpuppet account if I am going to say something out of the party line. fucking capslock! Fluffypony is the abdomen of Monero. The adipose tissue.
I'm not afraid to admit I had to google that!

I just want to know when the suits become mandatory I am not talking shit about "suits" I was simply addressing the fact that NOBODY else is fronting Monero in real life, that was all. You can twist it how you want, but whatever.. Nobody else is doing presentations or anything, so yeah, that does make him the Face of Monero for now... Let's hope that changes - and Sure, by all means, go present.. wear whatever the fuck ya want, but at least look professional. That's the point !!! Well a FFS was just funded for a person that has been giving presentations all throughout Europe. BTW this was the 3rd FFS that was funded all for relatively small amounts. There is quite a bit going on in Monero but you won't know about it if you are only on bct

There is at least 1 other dev who speaks publicly about Monero in Canada. https://getmonero.org/community/team/Regardless if you are for or against Globee donations... take note, that if this goes as planned it will be the day that changes Monero forever.

This are the reasons one would need to be a complete, clueless idiot to not hodl XMR the next years. As I said 500 USD in more near future and 1000 USD in 1-2 years are realistic.

I don't dislike your opinions at all. In fact I enjoy reading many of your comments on this thread. I only question the value of expecting someone to behave (or dress) a certain way when they have no obligation to do so whatsoever. He's a person on the internet who does whatever he wants, and just because he generally knows what he's talking about and gives a good speech, that doesn't somehow make him obligated to be our representative. We have no leaders. No heroes. Only voices.

So once ether goes metropolis soon, many will naturally flock to xmr and kill the difficulty here, but regardless, there will be alot of new interest in XMR. do miners have a positive or negative affect to the price of an alt coin? or does this simply not matter in terms of coin value?

Monero = $1000.00 USD Very soon! It's a matter of shame for Litecoin, LTC and XMR were both at the same level 2 months back, people were speculating that LTC will cross 100$ first that XMR but speculations failed. Now XMR to 500$ ?

"predictions" made on sucked thumb
XMR price is in correlation with BTC, 250usd XMR will be something like 6k BTC -> unlikely in 2wks get real, you will not be dissapoined when your expectations will be realistic

you obviously haven't played the markets for the last 4 years... coins spike with 0 correlation to BTC price as well as the normal trend lines following BTC.. XMR is hot right now and will rise.

I was expecting that Monero would rise, so I got back in Monero couple days ago. I think it may go much more higher and it is best timw to pump probably

Fair enough. ...

There is quite a bit going on in Monero but you won't know about it if you are only on bct
So where can we get a list of these places? AFA reddit goes I just cannot follow the conversations there with the posts all jumbled up. XMR started here and the main thread should be updated with all these developments you speak of. dEBRUYNE does a great job of dropping things like software updates and crowdfunding requests but the "quite a bit going on" should at least be linked in the main thread. Obviously this should be the place but it isn't. https://plus.google.com/+DavidLatapie/posts/9PxC9Xb5uzgSo Long Bitcointalk, and Thanks for All the Phish
"Bitcointalk is not a good environment if we want serious discussion about Monero. That much should be obvious. At some point we have to start cutting the apron strings and disconnecting from Bitcoin, especially since we share few common goals and no common code. It would be unfair of us to force newcomers interested in Monero to dig through thousands of scamcoin, shill, and troll posts on bitcointalk to find the occasional gem of information."
"Additionally, you cannot possibly convince me that people needing help in running and using Monero should all gather in a single thread on a Bitcoin forum?? Nah, we've done our time here, there's no value in maintaining all the Monero threads on Bitcointalk. Anyone here who needs to know about Monero already does know about Monero;)"

Nope, had no clue. Apparently my google-fu failed me on this one. Look at that he actually put a suit on for that shot! I guess he decided for his own business he would look professional but when the community sends him around it's ok to look like a slob. i read somewhere about this quote btw... Quote: "If you see fraud and don't shout fraud, you are a fraud" -- Nassim Taleb (author of The Black Swan and Antifragile; credit to opennux for the quote). i dont know if it relevant tho... im just a noob

If you read the FFS, it states that he will pay the other half needed with globee
Ah, shoot, thanks, missed that part. Still seems sort of "conflict-of -interesty", but then again, there are not a lot of rules here that matter anymore it seems... I dont understand why. Everyone is free to build services that use Monero. It will not be fluffyponys first. He started Monerodice and MyMonero before Globee. Is being the "face of Monero" a responsibility he asked for, or is it one you're assigning to him?
Inadvertently by his own posts and shenanigans, yes, he is currently the only "Face of monero" that I know of? & as the lead dev, should he not be? Edit - Do you see anyone else giving presentations on Monero to blockchain conferences? Point made, thank you. ... Actually if you read last developers meting notes https://monerobase.com/wiki/DevMeeting_2017-09-17 you can see that luigi has stepped up to become Monero main maintainer. "Luigi1111 is moving from "backup maintainer" to "Lead Maintainer" on both the GUI and the Site. FluffyPony will move to backup maintainer on both." "<fluffypony> surae: yes, we're appointing luigi1111 as CTO (Chief Trolling Officer), whilst I focus on my role as CEO (Chief Entertainment Officer)" I have never been so bullish on XMR like now. - Look at the reddit community, we have nearly 26k subscribers, 2500 online sometimes. Growing so fast.
- Future technological upgrades and research from Monero lab are simply huge: I2P Kovri, Multisig, Lightwallets, RuffCT, maybe Zidechains and pruning
- Real world integration with Fluffyponies FFS into market places which will present XMR to millions of users
Gentlemen, Monero is a highly active, undervalued project. Add the decreasing emission to this and we will see prices around 500 USD not very far from now.Emission schedule is curving sharply this year: http://imgur.com/a/De0G2Daily mined XMR: 30.06.2014 23911 XMR 31.12.2014 17795 XMR 31.12.2015 10776 XMR 31.12.2016 6516 XMR 19.09.2017 4546 XMR 31.12.2017 3946 XMR 30.06.2018 3077 XMR 31.12.2018 2389 XMR 30.06.2019 1863 XMR 31.12.2019 1447 XMR 30.06.2020 1126 XMR 31.12.2020 875 XMR 30.06.2021 628 XMR 31.12.2021 529 XMR

If Fluffy's new Monero project for Globee gets funded and succeeds as they hope, it'll go a long way towards erasing any lingering bad juju anyone may have for his little inadvertent pump & dump prank earlier this year.
I'm gonna pitch in a couple moneroj later today: this kind of thing "more marketing" is exactly what the naysayers have been naysaying for-frikkin-ever that Monero does not have, but NEEDS more of.
So at the very least, this project ought to shut them up a bit LOL

I hate to bring the other side of the coin here but it needs to be considered. I agree with this analysis, and I am excited in general. And have donated more than I have to any other project so far. But if the deal goes south, or this fails becaused of any reason it will deliver a SERIOUS blow to the image of Monero. I hope they know what they are doing. Asking the community for 4500XMR (currently nearly a half mil USD) and then not delivering would be devastating image wise.
