I’m never happy when I find this thread on page 2 of the speculation thread.

Then I'll get it back to page ONE Roll Eyes

Monero is a crypto currency that comes to the forefront with its privacy feature, so I think it's a lot different than other cryptocurrencies. The Japanese and Chinese people show great interest in Monero. Monero had reached $ 400 in the past. That's why, people may want to invest to Monero.

0.011X - what in the fuck is this market on?

I've been expecting the altpocalypse for quite some time...  This might not really even be it.

I just hope we are not all sitting in a train made of bamboo and palm leaves.  Where is iCEBREAKER... that was always his favorite taunt to the dash people...  CARGO CULT!

You don't have to just sit and hope because XMR's progress is happening in open source repos and public testnets.

Peter Todd created the 'Dash = cargo cult' meme.  It's a perfect metaphor for their primitive scammunity's 'BuiLd baMboo runwaYs and teh cRypto godS sHall retURn witH LamBos11!1' ideology.

Where have I been?  I've been helping making sure humanity doesn't get stuck with bad digital cash in a Chaumsian failure mode (aka Black Mirror) timeline.

Who do you think is buying /u/Flenst a monstrous Death Star workstation capable of breaking and crushing Dash's fake, broken privacy once and for all?  Wink

Hint: it's not the cheap/broke Dash-holes paying for all that sweet RAM.  Those greedy ratfuckers wouldn't even pony up a decent bug bounty for PrivateSend zero-days.

Despite plastering this challenge all over, the Masternode whales voted down the proposal to fund a real PrivateSend pen-test regime.  It's almost as if the Dark-coin bagholders didn't want to find out whether or not PrivateSend is really private.

Dash De-anonymization Contest

Icebreaker and other trolleros: I have donated $1 to Monero's development team. I sent 0.25 Dash (TX ID: 59d51690d4b56ddbf1e393fa8d3a49bcfc3247f270f36be3b6ee411802666cba-000) to shapeshift.io, which converted it to Bitcoin and sent it to the official Monero donation address listed at https://getmonero.org/getting-started/donate/.

I challenge you to de-anonymize this transaction. To make it just a little easier, I only used four rounds of Darksend, so it's exponentially less private than it would be with the maximum eight rounds.

Please tell me what address this transaction originated from.

Cheers!

So now Dash bagholders and shills are being taught a lesson by being trolled at the protocol level, watching helplessly as their once-vaunted shitty version of CoinJoin is triturated into its blockchain's constituent individual transactions.  Cool

Around 13% of DASH's privateSends are traceable to their origin

This post contains two different approaches on tracing privateSend to its originating address. The one that got this post started can be found later in the post as "Mixing cluster + metadata". The more serious one will directly follow. Despite getting some flak I followed it further and am 100% certain there is a high percentage certainty for the results of my parse, in the 90+% range. If there is a bounty for tracing privateSends I also formally apply for it with this post.

I strongly recommend to stop using privateSend if all mixed funds have one originating address in your wallet!

This approach WILL find your address, if all your mixed funds originated from one address and your privateSend has more than one input. No matter how often you mixed.

Data from parsing around 15 days of privateSends yield a success rate of ~13%. One day of privateSend takes a bit more than one hour to parse before the update that enabled 16 rounds of mixing on a single machine. The results itself look without a doubt legit in the most cases. Or to explain it different: if your privateSend is traceable the way I describe and you did something shady this should be enough to knock on your door.

Tick, tock...

Hah, dash was a joke of coinjoin, the two should not even be used in the same sentence, but I get what you mean by using it in another context.

That was a good one, I don't like the slide though as it is describing shadowcash failure of ringCT launch and it has Monero in that line and if you don't know whats going on you can misconstrue that slide to mean that monero ringct was faulty which is wrong.

Waiting for years now, and we may be almost there.
Is everybody on board? The train may not whistle when leaving.


I think everyone just got way to overexcited over last two weeks.  Price of Bitcoin was slowly increasing form February to $5000 and then instead of staying there or even decline a bit it just went up more and more.  We are still more then a year before halving. And price never reach old ATH before halving.  I believe we will have to be much more patient.

If this train never takes off again its because the people of the world are fools and there is nothing we can do about that. Luckily for me my main goal has always been to be here for the egalitarian aspect and not profit because if it was for profit i would have offed myself a long time ago. Smiley

^  Yup it's not looking that good.  I mean looking at it in USD it looks 'ok' but looking at it in BTC just looks f*cking pathetic.  I know some people like looking at the USD chart but some people bought XMR with BTC...

Romero could be ahead of its time or mostly people just don't appreciate or seek privacy.

Just wondering...  Do you guys always look at the price in USD or BTC?  Looking at it in USD makes it look good and all but I think the price in BTC is what we should be looking at.

I prefer in USD term as Monero reason for existence in private funds, not an open ledger like btc.

The only way your going to know how many romeros I have is if I tell you.

AND IT IS LESS THAN RIGHT BEFORE ALPHABAY DAMMIT

We also know that part...

I look at both.  But they are just numbers to look at. I cant change them to be higher or lower. On long term they are quite similar anyway. Few days ago were strange since we had this years low in BTC and this years high in USD.  I will spend my Monero when price in USD will be high I guess. I guess will be also in BTC at that time. Who knows.

After reaching lowest price in BTC after 26 months Monero went to 90 USD. what a crazy times we live in. Smiley



Maybe we will not see an correction in BTC price. It could walk to the side for sometime waiting for some altcoin goes up. Everyone have jumped on BTC after the recent news, but mostly of people decided to go back and buy serious project at cheap prices.

We will for sure see a correction in BTC. If you can call it that way.  But in general I fell way better now holding Monero at 90 USD then last November at a slightly higher price.

I'm glad I was still buying all the way down to 45. Smiley
