Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 1496. (Read 3313576 times)

Klee made such prediction: his guess was somewhere between 320 and 350. Good call up to now ...

So far the only evidence of persistent resistance is the 340k mark predicted by...who said that?  Search is failing me.  300-340 ping pong for a while?

Resistance at 300 / 310 being tested.

Be nice to see it hold.  A bit of a fight on... 

I did partially yesterday.  Monero has much more in common with bitcoin than ethereum.  And in my estimation bitcoin is a scary liability.

I want to be positioned for both. 

Perhaps even for a pair XMR/USD.

Thus plus all those other things that might come. And i thought Orwell´s well known 1984 would teach them a lesson... yet we are steering directly towards it.

I would say 2 years.  Full-on capital controls in Europe, eventually the U.S., should that happen, can be (will be) seen as the violent death throes of the debt-slavery=fiat-currency central planning & tax farming system.  Ain't no transparent blockchain gonna serve you then.

In 5 years you gonna love those 10 moneroj ... i would lend myself... but better safe then sorry so i keep my coins cold

Man I've made so much off lending .... like 10 moneros?  Some big shorters

With rise of price also hash rate will increase. It is same as with Bitcoin, just that Moreno had good harsh rate from early start and was never so vulnerable as Bitcoin was first years.

I wonder when the next attack on the network will come?  I hope never but feel its gonna happen at some time.  With rise in price this will draw attention.  Don't get me wrong I love the upward movement but the rise draws eye's.

 

I wonder when the wars will break out for XMR? 

Since there was data corruption or at least database inconsistency, it would be good for us to know more about the setup.
Whether it was a release build and the version are helpful.

As far as getting started again, on HDD, I generally use blockchain_import with a blockchain.raw file (available at https://getmonero.org) to bootstrap the database faster than syncing with the daemon:


If you don't have a lot of RAM, you can also lower the batch size, e.g.:


This requires trusting blockchain.raw, unless you run with the default verify mode (--verify on), which is slower, and would be similar to syncing with the daemon if it also did full verification for the entire sync. The daemon by default also trusts some block data to avoid full verification during most of the sync. It's just that the data it's trusting is embedded in itself (from blocks.dat).

In short, if you're on HDD and willing to trust a second file, blockchain.raw, your import will be much faster, possibly even 1 to 2 hours total, depending on your setup.

When the import is done, just run the daemon as normal.

More help on the importer and its options is here:

Lastly, for HDD users looking for better performance, the experimental performance branch in development is available for testing at exp/performance here:

https://github.com/warptangent/bitmonero/branches

This includes updates that dramatically improve the daemon's interaction with the wallet when dealing with txs that belong to you (e.g. wallet refresh from scratch on a wallet with many txs).

It also includes updates from hyc, the author of LMDB, that improves block storage efficiency.

The latest set of updates I made were pushed yesterday, which deal with transaction storage, notably decreasing the size of the database.

Note that this branch is incompatible with the master branch (and release builds). The two cannot use the same database.

To try it out:


It's compiled with:


All testers should remember it's an experimental branch in development. The improvements also help on SSD, but are especially noticeable for those with slow storage. This is planned to be merged into the master in the future, after further work.

Testing is welcome by all. Remember that the daemon and importer have the --data-dir option, so a separate database can be used for testing.

#RIPrimer   

I'm just posting my speculation in the monero speculation thread.

Thought so. All traders are so philanthropic  

I love Ethereum trading lately. Don't have to deal with a bunch of assholes eating their own from within.

over 1000 BTC buy orders on Poloniex and keep on growing.
