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

Perhaps you could make a Monero Bagholder blues (inspirarion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CmAPw7QkTpA ).  Grin
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.

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

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. Wink
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.

Probably going to see some consolidation here, price right now is between fibs from last years pump and the original polo pump. I expect a lot of liquidity here.

Like over 3500 BTC daily volume on Polo? Too late.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

2016-Mar-26 00:01:47.340882 Added IGD port mapping.

After which the service self-terminated.

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

Thanks in advance.

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.

https://getmonero.org/downloads/ (hashes are SHA256)

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

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 Wink

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

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.

Quite simply, if BTC does explode up, I just don't see the alts following (unless their is utility or feverish speculation, which is possible once the public catch on.)
If BTC suddenly goes to 1200 USD, does that mean XMR, ETH, etc. all go up app 3X in value as well?

Time will tell.

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.

If we advocate Bitcoin (read: crypto e-cash) becoming a critical system, how can we not also advocate multiple redundant backup systems?

Your "LTC as a backup" argument has never made sense to me.

LTC would fail as a backup because it offers no security balance, and will suffer the same hypothetical fate as its bigger brother. Think about it: if the bitcoin network were suddenly brought to its knees, how would anyone be safer in LTC?

AEON backing up XMR is equally absurd.

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.

About 2 years ago I didn't know much, but I was interested in Monero so I forced myself to learn how to use the command line wallet. It was fun to learn how things worked on a deeper level so I started learning how to code when I had the time.

Fast-forward to now and I will be starting a new job as a developer next Monday. I still have a lot to learn, but now someone will actually be paying me to write code for them. HAHA! Thanks Monero!

I post this to say that anyone can learn how to do this if you have the interest and make time for it.


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

Always remember that polo takes 15% of lending profits, so your real rate is 85% of the rate you specify.

I am unaware if Polo takes a chunk of profits?

It is in their terms of use.

As far as "default insurance", they do not promise to back up losses. Some have suggested they might do so to avoid bad publicity, but that is just speculation.


I found it (kinda hidden and that did not appear there when I initially started lending if I am not mistaken). The bad: I need to pay some of my profits. The good: Polo has no incentive to manipulate the rates down.

Here is the only music vid that has been made on XMR

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ofpaF5pkE8

there is also this one:

Definetely more of the music vids are welcome, they are great also for promoting... Any vids that can even partially go viral is an excellent matter of marketing for mass adoption.
