I also think that it is unlikely that Aeon will ever obtain significant market usage? Is it worth a 1% XMR hedge? In my opinion, absolutely. If something goes wrong with the RingCT XMR fork (very unlikely but always possible), it is nice to have a solid CryptoNote backup network.

For network security I would suggest mining Aeon (solo mine) instead of buying.

1% of your XMR gets you into Aeon for the same stake.

I'm no LTC fan (as it has lost it's initial goal, ASIC resistance) but I see where it could survive where BTC would fail as it is still far more decentralized. I really think they should hard fork to a ASIC/GPU resistant algo though. Just in doing it once would show that they would be willing to do it again if ASIC's are designed for it again. But I think that bus has left the station and in the coming years LTC will be right where BTC is now. Doge merged-mining has really helped them though I would say as far as security goes but I don't see that happening again any time soon and will become m00t when difficulty gets high enough.

Yeah, Aeon backing up XMR is an absurd thought. What Aeon should do right now to set itself apart and become a contender for an actual usable currency is... I'm not going to say unless I decide to get in it.

Great idea!  Hedge my bets a little that way, too, so I'm not the pure crypto kiss of death!

Perhaps you could make a Monero Bagholder blues (inspirarion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmAPw7QkTpA ).  
And the other piece of music a rock'n'roll style for times like these of green dildos so we have music vids for both extremes: Pumps and dumps.

Ha.  I bought some at .007 in the initial pump.  I've been holding on to those coins the whole time.
Sell now?  Don't think so.

This isn't pure T/A per say.  There are a lot of old time XMR bagholders who are going to be selling in this range. 

Some of us will stay around too.

Indeed this is when coins change hands.  The future is interesting.

I'd make an original music video, but I did one for BTM and ended up bagholding

Could you try upgrading to 0.9.3? The blockchain is compatible and therefore you don't have to sync from scratch again.

If you don't want to upgrade, try deleting p2pstate.bin from program data.

EDIT: Worst case your blockchain is corrupt and you'll have to sync from scratch again.

TA works in a self fulfilling prophecy kind of way in any market if enough participants are familiar with it.

Hello I'm having a problem with updating my blockchain.

I'm using Hydrogen Helix 0.9.1

I was running bitmonerod and it updated the blockchain to -1 day (is that possible)?
Subsequently my com blue-screen and had a hard crash.

After rebooting and restarting bitmonerod it gave me the following log.

After which the service self-terminated.

I will appreciate if anyone can advise how to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

What are the fave bots of the people over this room to trade in poloniex?

I prefer the fact that we had 66% inflation of the XMR money supply over the last year (to 25th March 2016), while in the next year it will be only 24%, and 11.7% the year after that.

You're not wrong and I agree TA needs to be taken lightly, but it has been very advantageous for me since XMR began this breakout

Sorry, but I just cannot take TA very seriously on a market the size of XMR. I suppose if enough participants are chartists it might work a bit by herd movement.

Keep in mind that every time that BTC price increases, so does the scrutiny of transactions. When BTC is worth $10k or more, the focus on privacy of transactions is going to increase. Will optional confidential transactions and stealth addresses be enough for a BTC rise alone? I'm doubtful.

that was to get us up to the liquidity pool, not past it.

To continue this discussion, I agree that if BTC can be brought to it's knees is very likely that LTC would be that much more vulnerable. Depending upon the nature of the attack, there are innovations can bring additional hurdles which an attacker must overcome. Example: Decred (DCR) has both PoW and PoS whereby otherwise valid PoW blocks are voted upon by stakers. An attacker attempting a 51% attack must do more than garnish hashing power to disrupt the network. Personally, I see this as far more valuable than a defensive PoW hash function reset which just resets the clock for the attacker to perform the same attack in a few months, once they've accumulated enough hashing power.

Congrats! Don't forget about us and Monero, big shot!
