HitBTC is extremely dodgy, we've taken them off the Merchant Directory: https://getmonero.org/getting-started/merchants
...

Yeah, never trusted that exchange myself.

On an off note, Fluffy you have the dubious distinction of being the first blocked AVY since I enabled them this morning. Tongue

EDIT: Shit, Block one Block All! Dammit.

I have listened to folks over the last 9 months say how bad HitBTC is but I have had no issues with them.  Always works for me.  What problems are y'all having?

What's a blocked AVY? *blank*

Oh d'oh:) I don't even know what mine is, Heuristic - I've set it to the Monero logo, but that'll only work tomorrow when Theymos turns off the April Fools avatar stuff.

Also I can't say that word without chanting (in my head) - "Earth. Fire. Air. Water. Only the Avatar can master all four elements and bring balance to the world."

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it

Craptsy has shown a long history of deliberately torpeding all the arbitrage trades one could make there. So my bet is they are quite happy about doing arbitrage trades over there, themselfes.

X1000 not only that, I remember them holding everyone's Doge when it bubbled and paying them back when it tanked. I'll never trust Craptsy they are outright thieves.

you are obsessed with drk. glad i am not an xmr investor Smiley

Oh my, Block-o-Feta, you said the "i" word! Here's a hint: there are no XMR "investors".

Which is why I find terms like "investor", or anything describing our role as if we were upper management, quite laughable. We are unpaid volunteers, placed in relative authority, pushing a profoundly technologically interesting project forward...because sometimes the pursuit of mathematics or science or medicine or art or music is more important than making money.

Please forgive BlockageFat's ignorance.  He comes from a fake astroturf community that backs a scam coin based on nothing more than a brand created by THE DARKCOIN FOUNDATION, INC.

The idea of Monero existing without a CEO of THE MONERO FOUNDATION, INC. blows his mind.

The poor thing is like a veal cow kept in a dark cage his entire life.  He has no experiential basis to understand the notion, much less appreciate the benefits, of being Wild & Free.

I feel like such a veal cow right now Sad

EDIT: Ice in your case I think it should be "Wild & on day-release.  If you see me out after 6pm call my docter - 555-..."

Oh my, Block-o-Feta, you said the "i" word! Here's a hint: there are no XMR "investors". Monero is a medium of exchange and a store of value. If individuals purchase units of Monero they do not directly enrich me or the rest of the core team. We can argue that there is indirect enrichment, because every Monero contributor undoubtedly holds a small stash of Monero, but it is far from...say...5% of the total emission that was instamined in a day. Investors do not pay our salaries.

On the other hand, we are also acutely aware that we are in a position of stewardship by virtue of the community. After all, when thankful_for_today chose to ignore what the community wanted it was us who took stewardship away from him, so the same could happen to us. The fact that we are still around a year later means that the community thinks we're doing ok. In other words, our position of stewardship is only by virtue of the community at large, and our "authority" is relative. We are not beholden to "investors", we are beholden to the community at large regardless of how much Monero they own (and sometimes don't own).

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

it's a free world mate, whatever floats your boat.  I don't mind saying i want to make profit on the coins i invest in because i think decentralized currencies are needed to give power back to people.  everyone needs to make $, if i didn't invest in coins it would be stocks or commodities which isn't helping anyone, so nothing wrong with investing in a coin and achieving both.  whatever Smiley

april fools' or hacked? i think it's the former...  Cheesy

What on earth is going on with the forum? https://forum.getmonero.org/

I think it's more work from FaffyPonzy (the ex journalist/marketer-turned 'ascetic intellectual dev' who 'is not in it for the money') to get PR into XMR to keep the Polo pump going (and some to Bittrex now they struck a deal) as an easier way than actually developing anything (he figures that's a lost cause anyway).  And have to use DRK/Dash's name to try to do that (as usual).   Or did I miss something?

Yes, you are missing something.

Ironically, if anyone is riding on brand coattails it would be the X11coin -> Darkcoin rebrand, spurred on by the extensive media coverage of Dark Wallet by Forbes and others at the end of 2013. Pretending you have some sort of monopoly on the word "Dark" is quite hilarious, given the circumstances.

As to the rest of your word salad, I'll let this do the talking for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQCU36pkH7c
