ETH up to 0.029. Will XMR price move up accordingly?

Interesting depth chart. xmr price tightly  locked at 255k between massive buy and sell walls.

If you know enough to know that you don't know, then you know a lot more that a lot of people who know that they know a lot more.

They are babbling in the Polo troll box about some ETH "news" but I have no idea if it is actually a thing.  The Monero sells started when ETH started going up so.........

EDIT:  43K buy wall back at 250, what do I know  Embarrassed

volume down, sell wall pulled, 43K buy wall at 250, current price 260.

I don't know what to make of these changes.

No more btc on exchange.  Wondering whether to send more.  btc blockchain currently not being spammed.

People love cash, if it is easy enough to use, there are only 6 people between you and everyone else.


A propos: https://research.facebook.com/blog/three-and-a-half-degrees-of-separation/

...makes me want to cry about my Erdös number.

Too bad I'm not in the subset of people with a lower Erdös number than their facebook average degrees of separation, close call. Smiley
The former will be probably harder to decrease than the latter.

Surprisingly low numbers computed there, we live an interesting time.

Which helps to contextualize this: http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/07/you-may-already-be-a-winner-in-nsas-three-degrees-surveillance-sweepstakes/

Damnit science! Why u no let us teleport!?

If we could teleport cash, we wouldn't need Monero in the first place.

And with cash restrictions on the rise, exploring other methods of acquiring crypto "off the books" may be necessary. In the meantime, I'd say focusing more on creating coinbase-like fiat exchange services will get us further.

We can think of all kinds of complicated systems, but in the end, we just need a mobile wallet which is able to show prices in eur/usd.
Remember the first bitcoin ATM in Vancouver?  there was a story about the shopkeeper seeing his income from the ATM decline, and when he checked it out, he found a guy sitting in front of the ATM undercutting the fee. ( i decided at that point to never invest in any ATM company Smiley

At this point in time, people will most likely only buy from other people that are able to explain monero to them. If it is easy enough to trade some by just making the new person install a wallet and sell some OTC, then this can go viral much faster then hoping that a potential buyer checks out internet first to try to locate a seller.

By contrast, if someone (e.g. Fluffypony) would give a presentation about Monero to them which is easily understandable your scenario is quite plausible.  

Actually I did this, very informally, a few times back in 2014.  Probably at least one or two of the larger spikes in Summer and Fall of 2014 were at my instigation.  *Every* FX derivatives person I pitched to, bought some, either on their own according to their report, or else from me, OTC.  If I had more time I would pitch more.  FX quants seem to be my natural audience. I am 99.44% sure they are uniformly hodlers, too.

How about a cash teleporter?  As a side benefit, you get teleportation technology!  (Speaking of which, wasn't that part of SuperNET?)  

Anyhow, most banks allow you to deposit a check with a photograph.  You can do "remoteMoneros" via email today.  It just needs one person willing to offer the service at a reasonable fee.

Heck, I would do it, if it didn't involve revealing my IRL ID on a platter to random and sundry.

Oh, also, it really requires escrow until the check clears.  So either multisig or a monkey-in-the-middle game.

LOL, that side benefit might collapse society as we know it, but possibly in a good way. Although, we ARE talking about humans: MK1, so maybe not.

There used to be a company in Ottawa which did this. You would sign up on their site with an e-mail address, and request to buy a certain amount of Btc. They would then give you a window, about 2 hours, iirc, and a bank account number to which you would deposit an EXACT AMOUNT - this was key so that they would know which transaction was being funded.

You could also put the money in an envelope, and slide it under their door. You could even mail them money, although the rate would be the one prevailing when they got the cash. And of course, if it went missing, well, too bad. Or you could hand it over to a person behind the counter, if you didn’t mind someone knowing what you looked like.

This functionality was discontinued before the big bubble. Before the introduction of the first Btc Atm. But to avoid the new KYC regs, there was still localbitcoins. Wonder if we’ll see something like that for Monero? And if so, how long a window of usage we’ll have before The Powers That Be (not to be confused with TPTB_need_war) crack down on it?

But there are still Bitcoin Atms. They are still mostly anonymous. The fees are still (mostly) horrendous. A Monero Atm, if marketed right might help in this regard. Although the operator would have a hard time remaining anonymous. Might be doable though.

Dear Risto,
could you be so kind to reevaluate your calculations from April 2015. I think it would be interesting to see what happens to thos assumptions with nearly a year more of MONERO  Grin Shocked

I second this request.

By all means if you have time i would like to see this too.  Risto your insight is always helpful to me.

The whole methodology is quoted there; just change the numbers, I hope you do not need me to do it..  Grin

I just lol'd.

I thought of that too... but the problem that comes with that, is that is no different from sending funds from your bank account.  If you write a check and scan it, it will still be associated with your bank account; also if you were to get a check from your employer, it will still have your name on it.  On top of that, that would be no better than from just signing up to bitwage to receive bitcoin as part of your pay check; but then the issue of having to "purchase" bitcoins in order to buy XMR comes back into play.
