[XMR] Monero Speculation

[Globb0]

I think because it gets mislabeled as unlimited supply.

Finite supply is often even a selling point.

Articmine of Core on the Architecture of Monero

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ECqcf-Nyjmw

It seems Monero Talk took the torch from Monero Monitor now. 

When listening this podcast made me think why almost no new coin nowadays pick tail emission although thy can be totally sure they will have huge problems get consensus adding in the future.

ArcticMine makes great points and really knocked this interview out and I loved how all his answers were spot on to the core issues and he didn't mince words.

Time to break 0.0045 and watch the short stop trigger parade!

The night is darkest just before the dawn. Buy time soon

VERY excited for what's coming in the near future. Will provide a full update tomorrow.

The Monero-sense is tingling.... I'm getting bullish again...

Upcoming Bulletproof update should definitely make some excitement. Many will say it is already priced in, but i cant be really. There will be publicity about it and that publicity will be exactly about what is best in Monero.

I'd expect a "buy the rumor, sell the news" event, as usual with these things.

[DaveyJones]

I wouldn't expect anything... markets don't really care for technical stuff hype wise ... technical stuff rather imbeds itself long-term little by little into the price.

[Hueristic]

I have no clue what to expect these days so I just BTFD.

I believe in this coin I think this Monero has a great future. It seems to me that anonymous coins are becoming very popular. This is a good chance for the development of this project, because anonymous coins will be very popular soon.

I share the same opinion with you. anonymous coins need to be popular. I'm thinking of buying Monero by the end of the year. zcash, I got some. now I'm going to buy Monero.

Shout out to Monero at Zerohedge" (One of the big fakenews sites)


"However, while many governments have begun capitalizing on this very convenient affordance by building systems that compile transaction data and scraped private info into a single database, most have only just begun moving in this direction. And more importantly, there are a number of privacy coins – Monero being the most prominent  – that don't offer a public record linking transactions to wallets, while there are also mixing tools for making the transactions of non-privacy coins private. As such, there are still ways to remain anonymous in crypto for those who want to keep a low profile, despite the best efforts of governments in the US, Russia, Japan, and elsewhere"

Shit, I bought the dip then it re-dipped.

Pertinent portion.

This was exactly what I was discussing in another channel. A lot of people come and talk about better privacy coins and start comparing stuff to Monero, then they realize actually Monero is in constant development and catching up very quickly in some of the tech,,, just that they were not aware about it until they learnt. Monero has this thing that it makes headlines very well without marketing, because the adopters are happy to share.

And definitely,,, none of this is priced in until the spikes happen!

Highlights:.
Lots of code merges this week in preparation for the v0.13.0 release.
-Binaries are expected to become available throughout this week.  CLI will likely be first, GUI after that.
-TheCharlatan will announce/advise the availability of the reproducible builds
   Should this fail, code/binaries will be release similar to that in the past, and reproducible builds will be targeted for v0.13.1
-The translations team still have a few files to work with before release.

Future builds/versions
-The build team is looking to provide v0.14.x in January 2019 - well ahead of the next protocol upgrade.
-A month+ of testing, and then a final release in February.
-The goal is to migrate to a less hectic schedule - less cramming features in so close to release.
-A good example of that goal is how Bulletproofs were handled.  They were originally scheduled for earlier in 2018, but were pushed out due to auditing the code, and that procedure worked very well.

The v0.13.x GUI release may also see the inclusion of a guide/documentation: https://github.com/monero-ecosystem/monero-GUI-guide/releases/tag/1.4
-There is ongoing discussion about how to properly package it.
-PDF's are great for documentation but can be an attack vector.
-The team is looking into alternative options.

Ledger support for Macs in v0.13.x has not received enough testing.  cslashm, one of the devs working on Ledger integration does not have access to a Mac.
-As such, there may be a bug regarding pressing buttons too fast or too slow.

Next meeting is October 14th - 17:00 UTC

That, or it's already priced in cos there are no spikes happening...  Think about it.  Bulletproofs is already public knowledge.

It may be public knowledge but the major impact this upgrade will have is probably hard to quantify until put into practice.
People need to experience bulletproofs and talk about it to fully understand. Honestly, I fall into this category.

Don't get me wrong, I go back and forth on this. It may not even be a blip on the radar come Oct. 18th.

Crypto markets are disconnected from reality. We were separated from btc for a short time until the massive bubble and now I think we just got re-lumped in with all the new blood not knowing whats what and the institutional not caring whats what.
