I think it is clear that without high BTC price there is no high price of any other coin, but it also depends of the team of people behind the project and the entire NANO community. We should not forget BitGrail hack and some very big dumps we see in last months, this is also a reason NANO have so low price and it drop almost 20 position on coinmarketcap.

But it still would need some major price movement like last year to reach 30$ again. Even if BTC reaches 30k and the BTC/NANO ratio remained the same it would still need at least a double to reach 30$ per nano again

Already Recover +%2.65 After massive correction yesterday .

There is even better opportunity to invest in NANO, just check Jun 29, 2018 and you will see price was only 2.14$ and now is 2.93$. Like most altcoins Nano is shows recovery, but it is far away from best days. If BTC price is continue to rise there is no doubt NANO will follow, but if BTC starts to fall again I am sure all altcoins will be in red again. Things work that way and there is no technology at this moment which can change that, NANO can reach 30$ or more probably when BTC reach 20 000$ again.

Buy more as you can, because this is the best opportunity to invest in Nano coin and maybe you will not find this opportunity again. I am sure the price will not be lower than $2 because the technology of this project.

They are hiring new people now it has more better network as compare with the time of the peak price. I also agreed with you this time we will see this coin to new peak price when current trend become bullish so that it is nice to buy more.

Yeah, FOMO plus global bulling  market sentiment would help. But the team moves forward improvements and more adoption, so  I believe NANO is still a great choice.

I don't doubt this was an attempt to improve Nano presence on the forum and to support it but of course moderator must be responsible for for the information he spreads and be officially announced.

Yes that is the problem and concern of most of us. The moderator of the thread has a lot of power to spread misinformation or FUD therefore no other than a main dev or someone trustworthy should start and moderate the project

Hey Everyone!

It’s been an exciting week around Nano, there was seemingly a new development everyday! I’ve focused heavily this week on covering upcoming protocol upgrades and what they mean for the network.

Epoch Blocks Merged to Master
The epochs block change is the result of nearly 2 months of work by the team, finalizing the upgrade to universal blocks. From https://github.com/nanocurrency/raiblocks/pull/955:

An epoch block will change the account version from 0 to 1, which means:
* It cannot be followed by old type blocks (like how state blocks already work)
* Any future sends will have a min_version of 1
These cannot be received by old type blocks
* When received by a state block, this automatically upgrades the account to version 1
We'll make a script to generate epoch blocks for any currently open accounts and any unopened account with pending sends (except the burn account).
With the merging of this code into the master branch of the source control repository, it enables further testing on our production beta network and was one of the driving forces for getting the beta network working and active.

Lazy Bootstrapping
Right now a block may get voted on thousands of times during it’s lifetime by nodes that don’t actually care about the block or chain it’s on — and further, they’ll vote on other blocks which reference it indirectly, leading to thousands more votes by proxy!

Instead, passively listening for blocks and actively pulling down only chains which a node cares about by requesting their frontier and receiving votes on them validates not just the chain but all blocks in all chains which have sent to this account from the latest sending block for which we have received (since that receive was voted on and accepted, the sending block must have also been voted on and accepted, and thus all blocks down in the senders chain must be valid). This allows accounts to chain to the Genesis block of the network with minimal ad-hoc votes, and only if a node is interested in that account in the future! Real-time voting will be entirely passive. This means that most blocks will be voted on directly exactly once, resulting in a drastic reduction in, ultimately, wasted votes!

This reduction in bootstrapping will result in less voting, and less peer-to-peer traffic as nodes become largely passive on the network. It will also reduce disk I/O significantly. The mechanism for this is called Lazy Bootstrapping and it should be available in the very near future.

A New Core Developer
Stein Roger, also known as cryptocode, is from Norway and has worked in the Telco and Health care industries as a systems developer for over 20 years, currently developing tools for integration of medical equipment. Stein has been actively involved in the development of the Nano node software since January and will continue to work closely with the protocol team moving forward. We are excited to have Stein join our team in an official capacity and look forward to working alongside him.

Nano KPI Wrap Up
Over the weekend, the Nano KPI team emerged victorious in the CS:GO ESL Masters tournament.


This event gave great exposure to Nano, both through the tournament and the booth at DreamHack where volunteers were distributing Nano and helping users install wallets.

Our team would like to extend our thanks to Mike, the CEO of KPI Gaming, Andy and the NanoCenter, azuLeto and his team who manned the booth, and everyone in the community who donated and helped make this happen.

Version 1.0 of Desktop Wallet Released
Yesterday, version 1.0.0 of the desktop wallet by the Nano Wallet Company was released. Among the highlights of the release include:

Code signed releases by Nano Wallet Company LLC
Automatic upgrades for Windows and macOS
Support for older versions of Windows and macOS (Windows 7+ and macOS 10.0+)
Downloads assets using highly compressed container format (shaving >1G from downloads)
Significantly faster asset verifications
Progress percent and ETA available during setup
Several bug fixes and improvements around sending
Several UI improvements
We look forward to hearing your feedback on the wallet and any suggested improvements. Devin will turn to focusing on integrating Ledger support.

Backend of mobile wallets open sourced and geo-located
The server-side code of the mobile wallets is now available at https://github.com/nano-wallet-company/nano-wallet-server.

Over the past week, servers were added around the globe to ensure users received the best connection and performance. The ability to change servers will be added to the mobile wallets in future updates.

that's what I'm talking about. This should be officially approved and announced. And the new moderator should be added to the community staff.

I've contacted mprep (moderator of Altcoins Announcements) regarding this and have asked him to close this thread so that I may create a new one. I'll try to keep it alive & updated, unlike this one.

EDIT: OK, here it is: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/nano-nano-an-instant-zero-fee-scalable-currency-formerly-xrbraiblocks-4632669

Everybody here, please shift to the new thread. If I've made any mistake or missed something in the new thread, do lemme know via PM or in the new thread; I've made an announcement thread for the first time.

If everything would be that easy right now. There has to be some major FOMO to reach those prices again and I don´t think it will be very easy for NANO to pull more than 10x very soon. But that is all a fator of momentum in the market
