[XMR] Monero Speculation

[elrippos friend]

He did it again. Just this time he did not just said privacy by default, but he directly named Monero.

It makes very little sense why Monero is not listed on Coinbase.

What if he is afraid that to much transactions would be made from Coinbase. So Coinbase could record those transactions and when USA government would demand the list they would have to give it to them. That list could help unmask other transactions. Maybe that is a reason for a delay and he hopes that number of Monero transactions will grow and he hopes that Monero will increase ring sizes and then he will list Monero, since it will matter much less or none.

I know this is more wishful thinking that everyone cares about Monero well being. But it just crossed my mind when he first mention privacy by default.

Two of the major Bitcoin podcasts in the scene have been talking about chain analysis, privacy, etc.

None has mentioned Monero, but it's obviously the elephant in the room.

Who the fuck is this retard?

I was thinking the other day when Monero block will increase for the first time. Moneropedia https://web.getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/scalability.html says that blocks <= 60kB are always free of any block reward penalties.   So when i divided how much blockchain grew in March with number of transaction I got that in 60kb blocks you would put 660 transactions. Right now average is around 450.  So number of transactions needs to increase 50%. What with the current pace of growth can happen really fast. But if the next upgrade will reduce transactions size that will delay this event.

Big day tomorrow

Happy birthday Monero, can’t believe you are 6 years old already. Can remember you were not even a year old and already showing great potential. You are easy on the eye nowadays but I must say it had its charm as well whispering little words into the command line. You were quite demanding at that young age, had some sleepless nights getting the 16GB RAM of my laptop used up entirely to satisfy your needs. Keep on growing Monero, you are doing great. You stick with your core principals but are maturing and getting stronger each day you are still around. Looking forward already to your next birthday!

[Globb0]

Wow 6 years feels like 10 lol.

The price is holding well at 008 to bitcoin.

Mooonero!

Since Monero is 6 years old now, I'd like to create avatar to celebrate 6th Monero birthday. I'm not sure it is the right size because I can not wear it

Happy Birthday Romero!

But seriously, I heard that it's delisted in a couple if exchanges due to it being untraceable (which all coins should be duh).  Should this be a matter of concern for us?

Was discussed on the compliance chat this morning - it seems like that is basically due to some more onerous regulations in S. Korea and some specific crime that kind of spurred public opinion against Monero specifically. Not sure when but I think video will be posted on Monero Community Workgroup youtube channel.

That video looks to be four hours long.  Sorry, Charlie, Starkist wants tunas that convey information concisely in a digestible format, such as an edited print version.

It was a live stream at time when he posted it. Maybe Monero Community Workgroup will edited out some useful talks and repost them, but I doubt.

[Globb0]

Yeah all sorts in there lots of talks of course.

But also a quiz and some other happy birthday bits.

Thanks for the link, an interesting talk.

Also some potential good resources for people who may need them.

Wow check out the stability. XMR is moving like shit stuck to a blanket.



Until BTC can decide what to do I suppose I expect more of the same
