him being afraid that monero could really get litecoins position, but why wouldn't he simply buy or mine xmr when they are cheap.

Ahhh - litecoin. That is the only rational explanation that I've said from the beginning makes sense.

I believe he got litecoin for around 0.20 each. XMR isn't a sure thing with BBR plus dealing with a new codebase that still isn't fully understood.

a second thing bcx could have tried is to destroy the reputation of xmr, but why?

there is no real competitor, I doubt he bought darkcoin, not sure on anoncoin.

I was quite sure that he was in interested in cheap xmr but I think thehn he would have cleared things up afterwards.

The bet is untenable. It is game-theoretically impossible for Risto (or anybody else, who we suppose helps XMR) to accept it. BCX is an asshole, but he's not an idiot and perfectly knew that.

What do you mean untenable? To be a devils advocate - isn't whoever has worse odds going to be the one avoiding the bet? Hence Risto had less favorable odds than BCX?

No offense but I don't think BCX is trying to trade his reputation for a 15% discount on Monero.

His 500BTC bet offer seems to back up my assumption.

I assumed the 500 btc bet was to encourage a collusion of interested parties. If a consortium could guarantee a 500 BTC return for their efforts, they would expend more resources to gain a favorable result.

But then I always assume there's a rational plan, but that's not always the case.

"All aboard the Bitcoin Express! We're leaving in 72--errrr...wait, wait...4 day--wait..errr...2 weeks! Yeah, get on board! Next stop Fudville!"

What are you laughing for? BCX had reached his goal. He had planned to bring the XMR price down with his exploit bullshit to buy in as cheaply as possible and got what he wanted.

Hype gets more results than actual attacks sometimes. I'm thinking of the show Borgias. The French butchered a town when they entered Borgias territory to make future towns unlikely to show resistance. The Borgias son returned the favor when he had plaster cannons made and moved to the turrets of Rome. The French withdrew for fear of having their army decimated by the imagined threat.

For me, I view FUD attacks as buying opportunities. The best revenge is showing your enemies how much they've helped you. Can't thank BCX enough. If he got discounted XMR, he should make a donation to the developers of his new investment. If he sells to make a quick buck, then he'll understand--one day soon, I hope--Monero is a global cash system and you always want to have cash on hand.

Is there a newer windows x64 blockchain download available? Link from first page contains file which is 22 days behind...

We paused updating it shortly after the block 202612 attack so that those on the wrong fork would have a static blockchain they could download and verify against its shasum - now that we've been passed that for a while we can resume automatically updating it. I'll turn all of that back on a bit later:)

It seems something related to your internet connection, I never had problems with bitmonerod except one time blockchain.bin went corrupted.

ignore the name, its from the compilers pc.

What port(s) does bitmonerod.exe use, I'll forward one manually from the router - never had this problem before either.

EDIT:

delete your p2pstate.bin

^^ This fixed it.

Not at all. Oh on calling out "Bullshit" I do agree, but the daily price is 100% following Bitcoin in response. Now the question is who will sink further down, or propell up? The Litecoin effect can be observed again. Things never change.

ps: ack, v0.8.8.3 is outdated

I ran BitMonero wallet fine a few hours ago, saved my wallet and exited bitmonerod with no problems.. now I'm getting this error:

I might have ran windows low disk space cleanup tool as Armory went and wrote 11gig to my C drive, so what have I deleted where does it live and how do I replace it? Obviously C:\temp has never existed.

I was waiting for a 2 months, but nothing positive was happened.. Sold about 5k coins today even at this low price! Now I'm really happy! Bye bye monero!

tomorrow up +400% xd

FUN FACT:

... having sold all Bitcoins 2 months ago at 650 US-$ instead of hodling them in nice form of a Monero Bag would have been the better bottomline. Now it's more like 388 US-$ with a strong tendency pointing downwards.
The big picture is disliked by all fractions, be it pro or contra Monero.

XBT/USD has nothing to do with XMR/XBT, if you want to measure the stability of Monero in a dollar amount every action at Wall Street would influence it.
