There was lot of hype for bullet proofs feature's implementation and if not everyone but most people were expecting its impact on XMR's price. This activation immediate benefit has shown by reduce in withdrawal fees from exchanges. Monero once again has shown to be best than many others. Market should show uptrend anytime without prior alert so hold on tight as speculative phase is approaching fast.

Keep what's important, and know who's your friend
Not sure if there is a thread like this before, but I made a "Stake your Monero address" thread where people can sign a message from your personal Monero wallet for future account verification and other things as a security measure for your Bitcointalk accounts.

I invite everyone to come check it out and sign your main favourite hot wallet Smiley

In summer was the first #FFS from a Russian-speaking teammate, the main translator of XMR.RU --> Mr. Pickles.

That FFS was fully funded and here is the first report:

So in the past month i got really heavily invested in monero for the long hodl, because I really believe in this project, but after reading some reddit FUD I became a bit concerned. In the monero cons thread someone mentioned that competition like zcash for example might be able to easily outpace monero as we close to global adoption, simply because of the difference in the funding structure of the two coins, citing that projects like zcash have big money behind them instead of relying solely on the donations from the community.

Could someone alleviate my concerns about this? I intend to hodl, but if this concern is legit I might have to take this into account.

It sounds more like you're seeking affirmation; the Stuart Smalley kinda affirmation. I'd spend an itsy-bitsy portion of that huge XMR investment of yours to pay for a shrink. He'd/she'd be more in a position to professionally alleviate your concerns rather than seeking for it in a forum.


It seems that xmr have found their strong support. recently, around the coin goes a lot of rumors, and not always very good. I closely follow the team and the coin itself.

Zcashes trend line was predicted in this thread when it was launched and that trend has held true to that prediction and it will not change. It will continue to slowly fade away. DYOR and just read the threads from it's launch, everything forecasted has come to pass and then marvel at the beauty of Zooko wearing a monero labs t-shirt.



^^^--- What does that tell you?

BTW looking at that coffee table it looks like lines were being done with a bowie knife, or maybe making some fake ID's Or both! Smiley

Nah! Those are open razor blade marks left after making coke lines.

I still believe that Monero will be very much used in the future.I'm sure it's one of the right projects.Monero is definitely different, Monero will get a place in our future.

Probably, this question has already been asked many times, but I am worried about the moral aspect. By conducting completely anonymous transactions, you can finance absolutely anything in the world. starting from buying drugs and ending with terrorism. Do not plan - whether you somehow limit these options?

You mean, in the same way that cash is currently used?

the question is why those things exist in the first place.

im not saying that a truly free money will revolutionize civilization, but yah never know what will happen when you don't have nation states printing money, waging wars with their printed money, etc., etc.

To answer your question. The problem is I didn't know how to stop new wallet from downloading blockchain to my C driver ProgramData\bitmonero and my C drive is SSD on which I don't have enough space for blockchain.
I couldn't find instructions either.
Ok, so in wallet Settings > Node > I chose directory of old blockchain but I see it is not connecting to that but downloading again from start.
What is the proper directory setup to connect, do I need to choose some file? Instructions are not clear about that.

Can you tell (or PM) me the exact directory the correct blockchain file (data.mdb) is located? Then I can provide specific instructions.

D:\Monero\lmdb\data.mdb

The Blockchain Location on the Settings page has to be set to D:\Monero then. Hopefully this helps.

Hey, Chicken Little:
"If you don't like the heat, get out of the kitchen"
and leave Monero to the big boys.

OMG!  Turrurusm!  Driggs!

If you install the new xmr stack there is even a message saying something like, brought to you by ryo coin, the coin where we will be able to do everything we were not able to do in Monero, or something along these lines... WTF?? Deleted it immediately after I read this.

Lol never heard of it so just found thread. Scam V./s scam...Go

The developer of xmr-stak got upset after not getting paid via the FFS, so now he plays by himself with a new coin.

Actually to be correct. He did not wanted to do a FFS at all,  but he wanted to do it on some different way.   I am not sure what he wanted to develop back then.  Whatever it was I am sure he would get founded fast if he would make a FFS. At that time there was lack of FFs and lots of interests in founding them.
