Etherium has brought a lot of money into Poloniex.
Once people who have money in Etherium are awfully rich, Monero might be getting some investments from there also and it might mean a mega move in the price of XMR.
Therefore it is good not to start a war against ETH but start to tell them about a great opportunity to diversify their assets. ETH serves its purpose well and XMR has entirely different purpose (it's intended to be cash equivalent money).

If Ethereum is vaporware, I'm going to say so. This whole "don't alienate the potential investor" is the same thing the dashtards used in an attempt mitigate criticism. I'm still not convinced if Ethereum will or won't do what it claims--and frankly, I don't really follow it as it isn't in the privacy sector--but if it looks like BS, I'm certainly going to say so no matter what the implications are to anyone's stack. Grow a spine, TC.

Regardless of whether one alienates ETH investors or not it is certainly the case that ETH has brought a lot of money (and margin buying power) into the market and I do agree with TC that some of that money is spilling over to other markets (including XMR but also unfortunately including a new crop of pure scamcoin that are being launched at an increased rate).

How does one scalp and get 1,000 XMR per trade?
Unless you are trading very big lot sizes ...
 
  
Well my research last year into the two-dimensional equivalent of the "golden ratio" yielded what I call the 'golden ellipse'.  Using it I can establish ratios for the appropriate risk factors at every given price movement.  You know those silly one-dimensional 'fibbonacci retracement levels'?  Imagine a sliding risk ratio as the price action moves through the ellipse.  Using it my trading group was able to predict within 5% that the height of the previous movement was 240k Satoshi, and call the channel low of 170k.  We basically flipped and made a tidy profit.  
  
I am in talks with a couple of major hedge funds for my research, and since this is a new type of mathematical constant it will be discovered eventually anyway.  It just feels nice to discover it first and have the most accurate technical analysis on the entire planet..

   David Morgan, a dyed in the wool precious metals guy, praises bitcoin and alternative financial networks (youtube, x22 report spotlight from this morning - last mention in the interview).  I've been noticing an uptick again in btc awareness lately, which eventually gives us the trickle down exposure.  That and the gobbling of the 200ksat wall last hour - Bullish!

Hehe, this will turn into a Quintin Tarintino movie soon.  8 XMR traders. Locked in a room....  One of them is a bear whale.
 
Except organic demand is actually rising - slowly but surely.  Every XMR sold at any level is a Monero you may not be able to get back.  It feels good to scalp and get 1000 new XMR, but what if we take off again when people flip their new ETH profits?  You'll be wishing you could have bought near 200k.

Market has swalllowed a large dump over the past couple of days.  That creates a little air pocket in demand, which takes maybe a couple of days to fill.  How fast and how firm the fill will tell us a lot about the moneyflow trends, whether they are short-term rising or falling.  

Considering that the bid side was below 300 BTC shortly after the dump, I'd say pretty good.

This seems to have hidden a bit, makes me wonder what other bugs are out there.

First test report, thanks to ferritinjapan!

Ta. It looks pretty good so far. Wallet loads up after initialisation in chrome on mytrezor.com, loaded up with simplewallet no problem, made a watching wallet from the viewkey which is synched on the 9.1 version of simplewallet. Looks like the watchonly wallet see all the transactions it is supposed to. Sent a Monero to the Trezor address and recognised the transaction on the network. Once it unlocked I sent some of it back after confirming it on the Trezor. Recognised by the network no problem. So far so good! Fantastic work getting this up and going BTW, I thought we'd be waiting more than a year for something even close to a Monero hardware wallet.

Also, general remark:

It runs, but I have no idea how to input the pin properly when it is requested. How does that work on the command line?

Please use the numeric keypad to input the corresponding box.

https://forum.getmonero.org/4/academic-and-technical/2495/experimental-trezor-firmware-testing

From this it sounds like the finished product is closer than I thought!

Is there a way to improve privacy by running it with your own node instead of mytrezor.com which will require a view key in order to work?

Better ask that to NoodleDoodle on the forum!

Hey guys I relatively new to the Monero market, is there a peak time for trading? I'm on the US east coast so I see the markets during the day here and seems like there's a decent amount of activity. I'm looking to snag more (cheaper) XMR during the lull times of trading.

Most users/community members are from Europe and US as far as I know. Thus, I would say look for times when it overlaps and preferably after work time, so 20:00-24:00 UTC probably (I think that's 14/15:00-18/19:00 in the US).

Land price has suffered
So, housing bubble popped?  Gonna do whatever it takes?  NIRP?  Maybe start your helicopter?  Those pesky savers!  Well, if your wealthy citizens ever need a way to escape financial repression, I could provide them some XMR, I suppose.

I thought it is the time to press the button on Versailles, a project that's been on hold since this time 2015. I will personally pour into the economy 25,000 XMR and the nobles will contribute about the same (I already paid 9,000 for the land and will give it on for free.) As the result, we will get about 20 of the (possibly forever) most prestigious addresses in CK.

Annoying, for the sake of such a small amount of coins (only 8500 usd) one needs to dump like crazy and risking of now being able to accumulate cheaper.

However, I wonder why he announced his manipulation publically?

Your post history in this thread and your signature might have been a 101 for these types  Roll Eyes

The only difference is I announce my moves afterwards (past tense).
I think the tweet was announcing "I am going to buy 10 000 XMR" (future tense).


Sure, since you have never announced the intent of your selling wasn't to buy back lower (clairvoyant tense)  Roll Eyes

I am somehow flattered to be at the top of your list of suspects, but for the record, no, I continue to accumulate slowly.  That smell of rotting bearwhale on the shore -- not me.

Your announcement of extreme bullishness sounds to my ears you are thinking of unloading bags full of diamonds on us.
