MONERO EXPOSED!!


Exposure part 1
Be carefull investing in Monero there is a lot going behind the scenes !
A well orginized crime is going on on monero price pump .
Some serious monero investors and/or monero devs with some well known trollers of other coins (not going to mention names) because they do know who  are they have been browsing undernet markets basicaly they are involved with ilegal activities till the point that they are in direct communication with Alphabay admins (not to mention nicknames ) which means they have been pushing hard their scheme of pumping monero.
One of this members have proposed to alphabay administrators to accept monero on their ilegal site with the promise to further wash their stolen btc and to multiply them by pumpin the coin x7 times of the original price which shouldnt be more than 2-3$ .

This lucrious proposal have been very attracting to alphabay admins which they immidiately started implementing monero on the site and after that they started the real action (converting stolen bitcoins to monero )in other means stacking up and manipulting the monero market on their only / centralized exchange (i wonder what will happen to monero if poloniex gets hacked probably by criminals like alphabay admins) ....story continues stat tuned for monero exposure ...(part 2 there is going to be made some real revelation )

Yes, and it's relevant to Monero because we're not sure if Dash was banned for

1. privacy theater (but this standard would have also effected BTC, which is easily tumbled through CoinShuffle, etc)
or
2. being a sleazy OneCoin-type HYIP scam, replete with Instamine, emission cut, autocratic centralized governance, and thus failing the Howey Test for illegal unregistered securities.

I second that. I've put Ubuntu 14.04 on a USB3 32GB and ran a node from it, no problems.

This, and similar questions, are on-topic in the speculation thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=753252.new#new

I bought some, and then it was straight down in red. It's a scary game. For those who are winning, others are losing. I'm ok because after 20 minutes if kept going down and down, but then back up.

I assume because it's finally getting noticed - I saw a news article today saying it was going to hit $15, but other than the pending gui wallet beta news in a few weeks, idk?

Why is the price up today?

It would work fine.

I wonder if it would work to install a linux os on that thumb drive, sync up and run a node.

Buy one of these for about 30 USD and use --data-dir

Do we have 10-20 people willing to come to the 1st Global Monero Castle Summit?

I think it could be held 4 weeks from now, or some later time.

It's possible to come for 5 days, but the main event would be a weekend one.

Corrected by average block time, that's the same as 15 BTC tx per block, which is roughly the average on the Bitcoin network the first half of 2011.

When their was the DB version bug in Bitcoin and an accidental hardfork occured, the network was basically useless for several hours. Was the price of BTC to be zero immediately? No because the value lies in expectations, not just on the current immediate situation. Enough people seem to have enough expectations about Monero to support today's price, apparently.

They're not right or wrong, it's their view, and the market will decide.

It's been officially engaged in commerce for hours and hours now.  What's taking so long 

Monero critics out in the wild point to very low XMR transaction count - about 3 per block in last couple hours.  "...doesn't support today's price...".

Are they wrong?

So much for centralized, single point of failure Bitcoin mixers.

The crackdown has begun.  Not looking good for Dash Masternode operators either.  The Apple banhammer is just the start of their problems with LEA.

"Mix at the protocol level or not at all" seems to be the most probable outcome of this trend.

Harsh... But true! 

I did literally laugh out loud when I read that!

Deeply envious antipathy in one direction, amused yet saddened contempt in the other.  

Be careful, from my experience Macs don't like it when you get under 10GB of free space...if your system begins slowing to a crawl you may need to delete something.

What is the relationship btw monero and shadow?
