To the best of my knowledge my firewall settings are the same as they were 37 days ago when I last synced. I do have a new VPN now. Should that make a difference?

firewall problem?

I was able to sync about a month ago. I tried again today (0.8.8.6) but cant seem to connect to any peers. I am getting messages such as:

I don't think I made any changes since last month (when everything worked). Any advice is appreciated!

The hash rate will come if the price holds up. Miners won't bother if this turns out to be a short pump and then right back down. Let's wait and see.

Yeah, the decoupling of market price and hashrate indicates, to me at least, that this is probably "investment" from the investor class. The good thing is that the hodling might be moving from whale miners that dump at X price due to electricity / hosting costs to investors that hold for years. This also explains those walls that were on poloniex. What was one of them... 80 xbt?

The bad thing, of course, is the lack of hashrate increase - I mean, good for me and my miner, but bad for network security. I'm still freaked out about my calculation that it would only take 6 million USD in nvidia 750 ti's to double the network hashrate.

My only hope is that some of this is piped to the devs.

Or more developers frolic to monero and knock at the door saying "yo - I could totally help libraryize" (or any of the other acronyms on https://getmonero.org/design-goals/)

and they will totally frolic - skipping, in fact, whistling  the good tune of privacy, decentralization and tail emissions.

Yes,I have put 2K XMR selling order at poloniex.

Check your username over_bought and this explains your opinion.
Taking profit is alway good but this move looks very stong and massive to me.

For no reason,no new wallet,no big surge of net hashrate. 

This currency is just very unthervalued and now discoverd by big investors I think.
This is just a correction for the low levels we have seen and I say keep you XMR and do not take short therm profit.

I think fluffypony (or other core devs) forgot to post the new Missive, anyway here it is -> https://getmonero.org/2015/03/09/monero-missive-for-the-week-of-2015-03-09.html

A Dash to quality. 

ftfy

same wrong info or cant find mro.bin wallet, create new one

and, v0.8.8.1 can sync , and receive coins ....

I do not know the reason for the recent price rise. But Monero is being developed actively like bitcoin, unlike many other altcoins.

Depends on the ship

Wait. Wouldn't that cause the price to crash?

This should be an interesting week. I wonder if HM_The_King had it right about 0.003-0.006 range being the 1st big cashout of XMRs from the early adopters and an opportunity for a 2nd wave of investors... Hmm...

Be careful. You may get cash advance fees with them if you want to use a credit card.

Is it a mad dash?
