Bitcoin! You can buy Bitcoins using Monero ... that is actually a mood talking point.


The 1/2 price is overkill. On the other side the pure marketing effect for a company like Spreadshirt (Spreadshirt is an internet company offering an online platform for private individuals and commercial organizations to design, buy and sell creative and personalized apparel) could catch on.
Creating awareness for a service or product, the pure advertisement effect should be the only and sufficient motivation to work together with a company.

Spreadshirt really should offer christmas socks with some text entry field on front.


edit: oh, how about mollesting webpages (blogs) for putting up a "Donate some Monero" sticker on their frontpage? a simple addition in their webpage's DNS entry allows recieving tips from their readers, something argueably PayPal or similar can do, too. but remember Bitcoin was for some timespan usefull for recieving tips. same old road to go!
That ended when the greed, the hunger and the Gox famine kicked in.

Not much there yet, but here is the "Merchants and Marketplace" section from the official Monero forum:
https://forum.monero.cc/3/merchants-and-marketplace

which is why we should make an app to buy with monero, exchange for bitcoin, and plug that bitcoin into the vendors bitpay infrastructure. Then everyplace that accepts bitcoin can accept monero. No fancy whatsits and legal fandingos necessary.

(edited to add)
and i already came up with a name for this a couple pages up... Payero.

I don't know if there is actually something you can buy with Monero that is listed anywhere.

I would like usage of Monero privacy...
Is there any index where can we see all what we can buy or pay online with Monero?

hrm, whattaya think of this:

we approach sites that should obviously be using monero.

arrange so that for (X) months, they list their products at 1/2 price in monero, and monero "investors" cover the other half as a sort of promotion. (investors being us, or more specifically, whoever's capable of a 10k monero buy wall)

This came to me because I went out of my way to buy primecoin when I registered a domain name on dotbit.me (also emailed the dude and asked him if he'd take monero), because it cost me like 1$ in primecoin and the bitcoin price was 7$.

and we could just design the backend software to automatically pull from the promotion wallet.

benefit for the business: seemingly cheaper products increase sales
benefit for consumer: cheaper products
benefit for monero: 1. demand on the markets 2. businesses and users become aware of monero 3. once in place, its not like the business will take down the monero payment system

unfortunately, we'd probably have to design into this backend an immediate monero -> bitcoin exchange, so that these websites could use their existing bitpay setup. Hrm, actually, in general, that would be the killer app - a payment thingy that automatically exchanges for bitcoin, and then routes it through the bitpay system (or whatever the website is currently using)

and again, the "we" i am using is the queenly we, because "i can't code, I can't script, the only thing about me is the way I think....."

or this could all possibly exist in some fashion and I look like a total idiot.

I'm definitely getting my family members a card with a mymonero word salad on em! 

AEON will be delisted from Poloniex very soon. BCN will be the same

I already responded on that thread -


and -

Any comments on this?

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.9878702

That is not accurate. It shows forks that were done automatically, but not others. For example AEON is clearly a Monero fork, as it includes features that originated in Monero such as the mnemonic seeds (also the AEON source has Monero Project copyright notices), but it doesn't show on the above list at all. Likewise Monero isn't shown, only the abandoned predecessor bitmonero.

Thanks!

XMR remains the best:)

The easiest way to find out about the forks:
https://github.com/amjuarez/bytecoin/network/members

Two were cloned (well forked with minimal changes -- just parameters) off from XMR: QCN and AEON. The rest were cloned from other cryptonote coins, as far as I know. Dash certainly was (BCN). MCN was forked from FCN. It is possible some of the others were forks of XMR, but I'm not sure.

You thought they were just two ?

No, there are at least 8 clones :

QCN/FCN/Aeon/Duck/Dash/OEC/MCN/ORION

All DEAD in a matter of few weeks.

There are already two. They went nowhere
 

I like the discussion, especially fluffypony's thoughts on the utility of XMR being more important than mere speculation.

I have this thought:

Monero will be a seriously formidable currency when there are Monero forks (clones).

Thank you sir, as always! it's all about the future to me.

Nothing changed. There was some discussion about changing the emission curve but there was no decision to change anything, nor any changes made.
