http://Monerohash.com/nodes-distribution.html is indicating 170 active nodes.  That is the highest I've seen in the short time I've been watching that page.  Has anyone kept track of past data?  I'm curious as to how this fits historically.

I have been watching but only tracking with my memory.  Before the release of 0.9 the avg was ~125 and after it went up to 150.  The highest I have seen was 166 a week or 2 ago when there was lots of exchange activity.  I believe these are nodes with a high % of uptime.  I don't know how that is figured.

Nibbled today at below freezing.

The ask side is always thin on bittrex so it's place a bid and wait.  There are no real asks till 288 Grin  

EDIT: someone woke up, some asks are now ~272 Cool

Monero sounds too stupid to begin with. Not even mentioning its completely flawed architecture. You got a piece of the altcoin pump pie and now you will once again fade into oblivion. Get a job.

Meh... what is flawed in the architecture... hate people that throw around words but do not even give an argument. And the sound of something is subjective you don´t like it ... others do.

I was going to delete the likely troll post/replies but the above bold is actually a reasonable question. We'll see if Sukovsky responds, otherwise, let's try to ignore the trolling and not reply to it.

That wall at 0.0027 stays? If it stays I'll buy 500$ from it in 20 hours. Not much, but that's what I could afford.

10,000 Monero has already been eaten from it; we'll see how long it holds and if the seller has another wall in their pocket.  The seller is offering artificially low prices on XMR, hoping he can scrape capitulation sells from the bid stack in the 250 to 270 range.  The only winning moves are to deny him/her the bids by outbidding, or even better calling the bluff by eating the wall.  It's payday so I'll have some fresh coins to take advantage with soon.

Monero is up ~ 50% from 2 weeks ago.  Consolidation here for a spell is not a bad thing.  The wall will go soon enough, one way or another.  The market will get used to this level, then level-up again.  And again.  Some dips and doldrums are expected, required, and happily exploited by those who believe in future growth.  Relax!

Mr. Whale moved his bully wall down to 270k.  
  
Hate this guy.  Wish someone would just hit the stack with a 300 Bitcoin buy all at once one day and vaporize his XMR asks en masse, forcing him to buy back in at a higher price floor.

If any alt reaches about 10-20% of Bitcoin's marketcap, Bitcoin is doomed in such a great probability that I'll sell mine (in favor of the alt).

All-in ETH?
I don't think it counts as an alt.  Alt meaning alternative cryptocurrency:  It's not a cryptocurrency. 

ETH is an alternative use of blockchain technology.  And it can be monetized, thus gaining currency-like aspects.

I like the idea of ETH being the oil to Bitcoin's gold.

MAID doesn't even use blockchains, except for its parasitic Safecoin IPO tokens piggypacking on Bitcoin.

The day you pay for dinner with a barrel of oil is the day I agree that ETH is a cryptocurrency.

Seekingalpha is a pretty iffy source of information.  Its just a proprietary financial blog aggregator.  There are some credible people who post there, but otherwise anyone can create an account and start posting.  This guy, for example, only has 45 followers.  

Sounds like a great place for Pegasus to do his thing!   Grin

Risto and amino would also be a good fit there.

"Gold, Bitcoin And Economic Freedom" - Monero mentioned:

http://seekingalpha.com/article/3958137-gold-bitcoin-economic-freedom

Given the topic of the article what I find interesting is the scammy business model of getting someone interested in an article and then attempting to "force" them to register midstream in order extract personal information for commercial advantage. This is accomplished by manipulating the html code and like most forms of DRM can be defeated. In this case a fast Edit > Select All does the trick after changing the page number in the url.

The attack on privacy and freedom by the business model of the publisher seems more relevant to me than the content of the article.

Edit: It is not the regulators who have to worry about Monero, it is businesses who use deceit to collect people's personal information and then traffic in it for commercial advantage that have a lot to worry about Monero, starting of course with the publisher of the said article.

Screengrabs also work, if formatting matters.  Anyone know of a 'Pause Button' plug-in that will halt whatever tricks a site tries to make your browser do?

I stopped reading SeekingAlpha for exactly that reason.  Someday, browsers will be able to generate enough tacoshi while reading the article to feed the site's cryptowall.  I think Brave is going in that direction, but haven't bothered to try it.

Still, nice to see Monero mentioned on a (sort of) mainstream media finance news blog thingy.

Can't wait until I can pull up Kitco and look at historical charts for the Monero/silver ratio!   Cool
