close to the original bytecoin idea ... don't opensource the good miner & instead profit from it

This situation with BCX is a good example why including an outside CN expert in the XMR dev fund oversight committee is not "bizarre" but rather makes sense.

He's a valuable resource to call upon in Troll Block type critical situations and your respective sister projects share code, so why not also get his input for planning Monero Research Lab expenditures?  He'll probably agree with the rest of the team's priorities 80% of the time, and his reasons for the 20% disagreement should be taken into consideration.  XMR owes CN a debt of honor, and granting CZ one of nine seats at the table is an optimal way to repay it, given his probable affiliation with the original code.

Having a 'frenemy' on the team is intended to help keep the rest of you honest and away from groupthink.  CZ is the only publicly known and qualified person available for that role.  That you would prefer to keep the group homogeneous by including non-experts instead of a CN wunderkind is truly bizarre.

Also bizarre is that I've already explained these reasons, and yet some people seem unable to read and comprehend any words besides "CZ."   

Risto has taken the initiative to provide XMR massive social and financial backing, and it would be equally bizarre to exclude him from the decision making process.

that's a great idea for dev fundraising

Big +1

Claymore's is the best available, but comparitively speaking, 5% is highway robbery and he knows it. But when you have no other suitable alternatives, you pay. I would MUCH rather that percentage went to the devs...

Ethereum is cashing out. They announce it in advance and the last round of cashing out is now.

I'm glad the dev team is still so dedicated.
Hope you have better donating system before scum starts to attack Monero again (which I hope won't hapen or won't succeed).

You better have damn pressed [Y] there!

Is this OK? (Y/n)

I'm not above trading BTC comparably aggressive (after all, some of those profits then go into anon coins like XMR), but agreed on what you write here: Unless you trade rather small amounts (and can get in and out without slippage, and are nimble enough to jump back in on short notice), it makes little sense to trade the current swings that are largely secondary effects to XMR's older brother Bitcoin. Small correction maybe: It does make sense if you aren't attached to your XMR position, as in: if you're skimming off profits in USD only. If your goal is increasing an already non-trivial XMR stash, I find it hard to believe this can be achieved by swing trading, given the current market conditions.

You are using opposite logic.  It leads to bizarro results.  GBP and BABA are enormous.  They are sucking the air out of every room, no matter how tiny it is.
Yes, the money flowing from crypto into legacy is tiny compared to the size of the BABA IPO.  That fact is not in any way relevant to the conclusion you are drawing.

An example of a reasonable inference:  BTC is tiny. Therefore the money flowing out of BTC into BABA will not significantly impact the price of BABA.

A drop in the ocean may not mean anything to the ocean, but it does mean a big lifestyle change for the drop.

Another one is China money (and I suppose some non-China money) flowing out to speculate on the Alibaba IPO.

EDIT: Oops, didn't see that was already mentioned a few quoted levels back.

I think Ethereum story is more credible. The money which can flow out of BTC is too small compared to the one in stock market/foreign exchanges.

There is also a conjecture I've heard that Ethereum is dumping a lot. Why they would be in such a hurry to sell I have no idea. Maybe they got a bill from their lawyer.

Looks, it is good. :-) Thank you for your time. I must absorb new information.

Quick scan: Over that period the range of LTC was 2.5%,  XMR 13.6%, BBR 27.4%, XCN 34.5%, and all are within 10% of the range closest to their lows over the period.

What I see is that PoW non-app coins (pure currencies) generally, whether CN or BTC based, have declined in degree best indicated by their market cap.

My intuition:  There is no FUD effect.  It is pure imagination.  The price is down because bitcoin.  

My conjecture is that hot money is flowing out of bitcoin into US stocks (BABA) and GBP bets.  This is ADHD money we're talking about.  I give it a week or so, before btc bottoms.  Unless there is an exogenous jump it would be reasonable to expect continuing XMR\BTC decay.  Yet I am unwilling to sell for a turn-around, simply because the scale and likelihood of a positive shock is too large.  The market cap is too small.  One buyer can double the price forever in 20 seconds or less.  I can't risk that.

@fluffy, awesome intro on the openalias project.

Can you please check if I've configured an XMR alias correctly at the following DNS location:
myagui.monujo.com

It's not a secured domain or anything at this time, I just wanted to check if I got the implementation basics right.
Thanks!

not that there's anything wrong with that.

I don't see why the Czech Republic shouldn't get a voice.

Yes you can use unspent outputs. There is no unspent hash format in the blockchain the way there is for bitcoin.
