Hey, just downloaded the GUI wallet and am trying to figure it out. How exactly do I connect to a public node (that way I don't have to sync the blockchain)?
[...]
https://moneroworld.com/To use remote nodes with the Monero GUI, include the node address under the Settings tab and be sure to use the proper port:
node.moneroworld.com at port 18089 - Remote nodes volunteered by community members.
node.xmrbackb.one at port 18081 - Remote nodes maintained by Snipa
node.xmr.be at port 18081 - Network nodes with 18081, possibly by accident.
node.viaxmr.com at port 18081 - Same as above, but different DNS server.
|
- You can figure out what will happen, not when /Warren Buffett - Pay any Bitcoin address privately with a little help of Monero. |

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.

P.S. Any Monero meetups in my area? Currently in Singapore or Thailand. I know there must be some people who value anonymity and privacy.
Are Monero meetups actually a thing? I can imagine that it would be hard to get a decent sized group of XMR users from any local place that isn't a major city. There is lots of metups. It is hard to make them in every village so I guess many need to travel a bit to addend them. On reddit is at least one a week posted, but maybe was such time of a year. Just google a bit and you will find some close to you. Latest is I guess in Chicago: https://www.meetup.com/Chicago-Monero-Meetup/events/246104735/Monero London https://www.meetup.com/Monero-London/None planned - but I would like to go to one... Will subscribe to group - thanks! |

Funny how a few months ago when Monero got added to Bithumb the price nearly tripled whereas getting added to OKEx has done little for the price. How quickly things change in the crypto world. Well, nearly everywhere lists Monero now... They have to  |

I tried that but it still seems to be trying to download the blockchain. Am I doing something wrong?  |

That is your wallet "refreshing" or scanning the blocks looking for transactions that belong to your wallet. Connecting to a remote node bypasses the need to download the blockchain but you still need to sync with it. The next version of the GUI should have 2 separate status bars to indicate each sync, instead of using the same status bar. |

I think Xmr is an old and solid project. I think you will see very good price levels with Zec and Dash. Well worth $ 1,500 or more. It is not surprising anyway. Bitcoin is not going to stop while it is moving uphill.

its annoying to see something like ZCL rocket up so that they can be airdropped BTCP. Anyone have thoughts on how this might affect Monero?

What is a ZCL, and how could it possibly affect Monero? |

What is a ZCL, and how could it possibly affect Monero? Zcash, but classic  Coins should start assembling a team as soon as they release a coin, wait a couple months and change the least popular things and release a classic version. I'm not saying that getting rid of the dev tax isn't a positive change, but kind of stupid to recreate the trusted setup--though the one thing that keeps me away is the unauditable supply (that's an inflation tool the fed would be jealous of). |

Monero started to get more and more obsessed each passing time. I think $ 1000 is a coin targeted. With Zec, they can take over $ 1000. Clearly, perhaps until now, they needed to overthrow.

Self-moderated thread for discussion of Monero trading and price speculation.
Off topic posts will be removed.
Discussion of what is on-topic or off-topic is on-topic especially at the start. I will consider such input and make a final decision on such suggestions, and that will edited into the OP.
Thanks for opening a new speculation thread. I'm not a huge fan of self moderated threads, as they tend to invite abuse of power of the thread starter in my experience. That said, not wanting to give in to FUD posts/trolling is a valid reason for self moderation, so I'm not outright going to bash the attempt. To get started, in addition to discussing what is "off topic" in this thread, I'd also like to see some clarification what constitutes "FUD / trolling"... Just went through the last 10 or so pages of the old speculation thread, that was supposedly so infested by trolling and FUD, and couldn't find a single post that qualifies in my opinion. Guess they could have been mod-removed (via report), but that'd just be further evidence that self-moderation isn't really necessary to get rid of trolls. What about Wachtwoord's posts? They provoked a pretty strong negative reaction by some, e.g. But Monero is not truly anonymous, merely pseudo-anonymous. Doesn't that bother you?
Do we want to a) call this "trolling / FUD", and b) removed it from the thread? How is Monero pseudo anonymous? |

For this, we need some time. It won't happen simultaneously. The demand should rise drastically to achieve $1000 target in Monero. This would honestly take at least 1 or 2 years. |

Can someone comment on the fact that Monero hash rate distribution is 52% "unknown"? Does that mean these 52% are actually solo mining?

I think it just means there's been a lot of new pools come online that aren't being checked by the pie chart you're looking at. |

Not to mention that Zclassic has a wallet that is almost impossible to run much less keep running. They should work on that before doing another fork. Was going to invest a tiny bit into it but can't even get their wallet to work. Glad I bought a little bit of Monero a while back... |
