Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 132. (Read 3314350 times)

Without really getting into all the moral and philosophical stuff, I just want to know if XMR's use is trending at DNM's or where to get the data.

Since most of you guys who hang out in the Monero ANN thread hang out here too, I'll just post this here in speculation.  Auction for serials 1-10 and donations/winning bids can be made to current/future CCS proposals or to the general dev fund.

Hope to see some of y'all there.

Enough personal and character attacks having nothing to do with Monero Speculation.

I'm not going to bother deleting the replies for now (but forum mods still might). If it continues I'll start hitting the delete button.

imo charlie lee is more creepy than fluffy pony wrangler.. charlie ree is in league with craig wright whereas he loves to block people on twitter who call him out on his bullshit! meh

Ahhh yes, i generally regret hitting the view post button on this one.

"My Little Creepy coin developers"  would be more appropriate !!  you nailed it.

Lol, this is funny. I've never heard of it before. I'm not going to waste the time watching that vid though.

They should put out a My Little Pony Monero themed wallet for the kids to learn on.

stop pulling fluffy pony line like he's not in cahoots with leo..just look at this jackass crypto friends it's outright creepy :\ fuck off wheres the OP for satoshi sake!!? hmm i call bs.

Not that I use them (I actually really don't (like that would be something anyone would believe (oh God, I am getting lost inside a parenthetical alternative universe)))...

But I keep an eye on dark net markets mostly out of curiosity.  Wall Street Market was shut down this summer, but XMR was a preferred crypto there and most vendors took it.  Some even had special discounts for XMR users.  I saw someone who ran a cannabis gummy XMR sale regularly.

Currently the biggest DNMs are probably: Empire, Tochka, Berlusconi, Nightmare, and Cryptonia.

All of those take XMR.

I am a libertarian.  But to be honest I do not think this use of XMR is what makes it important.  I just think it is a natural side effect of it being one of the truly useful digital currencies.  I am also one of the probably few old school crypto people who does NOT see Ross Ulbricht as a hero.  I see him as a criminal (but his sentence is ridiculous).  Almost all other projects are garbage at worst and well-meaning testnets at best.  I am looking forward to XMR continuing to shed it's darknet reputation and being seen for the privacy preserving tour de force that it is.

That said, there is no doubt it is THE trusted privacy currency on the dark web.  People probably still use Bitcoin more and are fools for it IMHO.

Someone made good research like a year or two ago it was not hard to find it back then with google, but right now I cant find it. But is probably outdated anyway.   As I know a lot of dark markets was taken down this year and they had a lot DDOS attacks. Of course past teach us that new will always pop up and be even stronger.   Dark markets will never have much of an impact on Monero transactions. Biggest impact will have regular people trying to keep their wealth secure.

At a guess I'd say not much otherwise the price would have held steady.
Did they all go underground?

It's better that that is not an eco system that is relied upon as it just gives ammo to the haters.

Does anybody know where we can check the data on Monero and how much it's being used by DNM's atm?  Just wondering if it's trending higher...

ZCash founders reward is economically equivalent to a premine, but I guess it is only 10-20%, not 70%

I skipped all coins that were not fully mined. Most of ETH coins was created in ICO. 72 millions ETH was just printed and sold for tiny bit of BTC. That is 2/3 and that makes ETH a security and organizers will have to answer the law.

and they're totally awesome, great job!

Hey guys, just made some new cold storage notes that are a non-for-profit effort to raise money for the dev fund/CCS proposal.

Can't go wrong holding any crypto with decent volume for the next bull run but I think holding ethereum is a much better move from current prices.


Wondering why you didn't mention Eth? Its still all pow since pos hasn't been released yet.

Let's wait until march 2020 

I think crazy times may return before that. Would not be surprised to see new fomomania in next 2 years.

I still think that Monero could go on to create a new ATH in fiat terms, and possibly even in BTC terms.

It may take 3-5 years, but it's still on the cards imo.

I'm holding my XMR for the long term.
