Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 1617. (Read 3313576 times)

Ok, please tell me how should I ask then? should I beg? or throw my money and hope it works.

1. Either you can browse the commit logs from github (both master and development branches) or you can wait for the release announcement.

2. The operator of MoneroDice, fluffypony gets 10% of the winnings on the site, not 10% of "all the Monero there". That's a pretty standard operator fee for dice sites as far as I know. So far it hasn't added up to much.

3. I assume othe winning was fair, but it doesn't really matter if you are considering playing on the site because it is provably fair. You will always get a fair game guaranteed by math if you play. (Investing on the site is riskier; if you don't trust the operator, don't invest.)

4. The "one release a year" includes a massive amount of effort significantly reworking and refining nearly every major portion of the core code. The time it has taken is a function of the scope of the work done. Here is a comparison of the work done since the previous release. 780 commits changing 585 files with work from 8 developers. We do expect more frequent releases going forward.

5. 70K Moneros is about 35K USD currently. A little while back it was half that. If you think that pays for 8 developers working full time for a year (not counting work before the previous release, nor other project overhead), you are living in a fantasy world. Obviously the work is part time and volunteer. If you want it to go faster and have relevant skills you can volunteer, or help fund more development.

The way you ask, you don't deserve answers.
Nobody's here to please you with "your investment".

The way I understand, the 0.9 release will be the biggest yet, a lot of work will have been done, albeit under the hood... I think they are now busy libraryzing... more about the development you can find here: https://getmonero.org/design-goals/

best regards

Hey,

So now Monero price is going up because of the long anticipated 0.09 release which took the developers over a year but I still don't get what is in their release? Also checked MoneroDice and like onemorexmr told me it's run by FluffyPony which is a main developer here and he takes 10% of all the Monero there I am guessing to fund the project BUT what about Othe he is a developer yet he won 21835.834259214586 Monero isn't this a bit fishy?  I got these info form this forum page " https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-happy-btc-circular-donation-thread-720940 ". + the donation that Monero get's from it's community is "at least to me"is huge around 70,000 Monero's ! isn't this enough to motivate developers to work faster than a release per year? https://getmonero.org/getting-started/donate/hall-of-fame

Please get that I am not here to put down Monero I am here to make sure my investment is in the right place 

I wonder why I still participate in this thread as I haven't owned any in a year! W0w can't believe I've been waiting that long. Guess I just like this coin too much.

 
  
The FED is fucked either way.  Raise the interest rate?  Then you create stock market panic, which will have an unpredictable effect on crypto: will people see it as more than silly-experimental-nerd-money when shit hits the fan?  
  
Or don't raise interest rates and print more free money via QE and cryptocurrency becomes one of the few 'hard' assets out there.  
  
Either way government backed currencies lose and crypto wins.  If they wanted to preserve fiat in the long term they *must* raise interest rates and let the chaos rain down from the sky for the next few years.  Let the banks fail, and let shit go bonkers for five years - we'll emerge from the disaster stronger and fiscally sounder than before, though the current oligarchy will be ousted.  
  
But this won't happen - instead they will come to a last minute decision that 'now is not the time' to raise interest rates and instead we need more QE.  This maintains the illusion of fiscal responsibility while still keeping the "free money forever" printing press factory running.

What happens to Bitcoin and altcoins if FED raises the interest rate?

 
 
Perhaps one day the newly independent Colonies may act as a "little brother" supporting nation for the British Empire (or whatever European country is dominant at that time).  European currency has been the dominant capital of the world for centuries and it's silly to think that will change any time soon.

Bitcoin will always have the highest volume. Litecoin has been second (worldwide) for a long time. Monero and Ethereum both have a good chance to challenge Litecoin for both wordwide trading volume and valuation within the next few years.

Its a pump probably. I guess soon the dump happens, and price goes to where it was before.

Some good news. Look at that nice uptick in volume and price!

I think a lot of people here think that way about cryptonaire. He is just like every other FUD troll that comes on here trying to manipulate markets to make a quick Satoshi, but is more annoying than most other trolls on this thread; mainly because he tends to be very arrogant about how much he owns and makes him seemself seem to be this virtuoso of a trader. To me, It's pretty easy to detect those who are genuine about XMR with those who like to use FOMO tactics to make them self a small profit and move on to the next pump somewhere else.

TrueCryptonaire,

Like you I am bullish about the prospects of Monero. However I doubt many long term readers of this thread will give your comments much credit (either positive or negative) since you has a long history of changing views in attempt to increase or depress xmr prices.

Your time might be better spent doing someone other than yelling BUY BUY BUY or SELL SELL SELL depending on the direction you hope to help move prices at the time.

Monero always was a golden coin and I am indeed guessing it will be a true golden coin in the future.

I just took out some of the unnecessary words.

Actually the wind is turning now and looks like it is time to hoard rather than sell.
Personally I have bought a meager amount as well (not much, about 1300 coins a couple days ago).

I guess there is some kind of paradime shift taking place making "ever bearish" Monero a golden coin once again.

i withdrew part of my xmr from polo during the last days and look, bada bum bada bim!
maybe polo runs on fractional reserve themselfs ? 

hope the spike can be sustained, maybe we correct down to retest again, but i doubt we will see good liquidity at prices below 110k again for some time.
sure, with btc going wild, everything is still possible.

but emission is down A LOT to like ~7.5 xmr per block, thats like 13 btc a day with yesterdays prices. today it looks different, but sill a very manageable number if you ask me, despite high btc prices (many of us loaded up when btc was cheap, didnt we?)

Maybe people are responding to github activity. There has been a lot recently

No, as far as I know there was no special new what could case the pump. I guess it is because of the general economic uncertainty before the FED decision in increasing or not increasting the interest rate. Many alts are going up at the moment.
