Is there any news why XMR is going very high? This has come as a surprise for me because I have missed it in the news. Maybe this is a pump and dump?

Read back through the last 20 pages or so, most of it is there (adoption by darknet markets, impending conclusion of various dev projects, increased public awareness).

Yes I have recently read that 2 darknet markets will start accepting XMR starting on September 1. I think this is the main reason why there are many speculating with XMR right now. No one will admit it but the value of bitcoin was partly acheived because it was highly used in the Silk Road.

Classic pump and dump, if you got in train just keep the waves, if you had not, beware monero is atm at his peak and be sure of trading to jump out quickly

Also monero mining is long dead, they killed the block reward so beware, like any others coins that kill POW to fast for personal P/D

Mining Monero is extremely profitable at the moment, FYI. Stop FUDing / talking your book.

And another thing.  I have the viewkey of the wallet it was sent from, tx id etc.  How do I look at the transaction on the blockchain?  I don't have simplewallet.

You either need the viewkey of the receiving address, the receiving address itself, and the transaction hash or the tx key of your own transaction, the receiving address, and the transaction hash.

Either way, you can use this tool:

I sold 55% of my xmr today for a nice healthy profit. I'll buy back in a few months when the price has shed over 50% of its gains.

Bitcoin also started from sub-$1 one point. Especially the ride to $32 left no prisoners so good luck with your plan.

(I do advocate diversifying, but not buying back lower, because I think it increases the risk with no corresponding gain).

Yeah, see unfortunately I have to take your advice with a grain of salt because its widely known that you are an xmr bagholder profit maker.  But for a long time you were a bagholder.
I dont think xmr will see $32 any time soon but ofcourse I would have said we would never see a 10$ ETH.

Thanks for your advice but i'll pass on it this time and hope for a low reentry and if I missed it then I'll sit good with my other 45% xmr and my new bitcoins from selling the 55% earlier.

just wait for the news "about a currency that is better and faster compared to bitcoin" being used in dark markets that is untraceable and gives anonymity to its users.

panic will ensue and XMR will enter a new ALL TIME HIGH.

Can we get Wikileaks and Snowden to accept XMR?

Let's pose as outraged Chuck Schumer constituents in a moral panic over Alphabay, demanding Something Be Done.

With luck he'll hold a press conference blasting Monero, and aaww-way we go (to the MOON)!   Smiley

Is moneroaddress safe and proven? Have there been any hacks?
Would you be comfortable storing 10,000 moeneros (dont have that many, just trying to make a point)?

And how would you break up the moneros? Print out 10 different wallets and split it between them?

https://moneroaddress.org/

I'd say generate your own wallets offline with the official simplewallet client. Keep it in cold storage.

MoneroAddress is just as safe if you download it from Github and verify it. It has a better UI, hence more people use it. You can follow this guide:

So what's next? Is this grow for real?
It's too big (in my eyes) for a pump, people continue to buy, there were some good news too...
Or is this the real start for a grow to a (deserved?) 2-3 figures price?


And another thing.  I have the viewkey, tx id etc.  How do I look at the transaction on the blockchain?  I don't have simplewallet.

Get a light wallet that connects to a public node, it may work.
Is there a way to use a blockexplorer?  I am traveling with a mobile device in Ukraine, using McDonalds wifi. Nothing I can really do.

http://moneroblocks.info/ do the trick.

Wouldn't be surprised if Monero is the next Bitcoin. I just bought quite a bit. I have never been really been a Monero Supporter until now.

troll box is a disgrace, seems lots of XMR haters warning off new enterers. From well down all the way up.

I hear XMR is a scam coin, its a crowd fund project, its a bull trap set up in advance etc. facts are not important.


They're called troll-boxes for a reason.  I find the best thing to do with it is shut it off....I really don't need the thoughts and declarations of some teenage stoner.

  I made an xmr deposit to poloniex about 6 hours ago.  They still list it as pending at 7 confirmations, haven't credited it to my account.   Now xmr deposits are disabled at polo.
What's going on? 
Are monero transactions going through, or is this just a polo problem?

Maybe the coins are blacklisted? Cheesy
