It seems the price is picking up at  the moment! DASH is going down and LTC as well. Maybe XMR can have some benefits from these drops.

In the long run Monero will do well assuming the level of current development continues.

We all know DASH is trash (and their new model of increased mining rewards going to masternode owners discourages adoption by new small users) buts its decline does not have a direct impact on Monero.  

I have never been good at predicting what will happen with LTC so I have no comment on that.

Yeah! Hard to predict what will happen to LTC; but XMR will be a good candidate as a substitute for Dash, that's for sure.

At least it has a reasonable amount of volume to do some good trades.

The advantage that Monero currently has over virtually every POW coin and this includes Bitcoin, is that Monero has a current working solution to the scaling of blocksize question. One needs two things 1) Adaptive limits 2) A tail emission. Solving this problem without a tail emission is far from obvious, In fact I am not even convinced one can even create a viable fee market in the absence of an emission. There is a reason why there is so little progress with the blocksize debate in Bitcoin.

TheKoziTwo also released some code.

I agree they should be easier to find. Probably some kind of merchant resources page on the web site should list these, but then you still have to find the resources page...

For reference, link to my integration: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11108919

TheKoziTwo  nice, i was hopping to do something similar, i will take a look on the code when i have more free time and contribute where i can Smiley

To hell with "finding web pages."  ANGTFT

It should all be in the [ANN] post, or at most a click away.

The [ANN] is overdue for an update, if not a complete overhaul.

It should be spiffed up with all these new bells and whistles!   Grin

I've found the next best thing to an ANN is your signature. Put some useful links in there. Signatures come up in google search results (i think), like the rest of the stuff on this forum. Hack the system, baby!

And now back to the weather. We might get some increased buying pressure as people start moving monero into monerodice, because people love making money with money.

83k XMR invested in MoneroDice already, the day after launch. I expect a lot more to be invested in the coming weeks. This is very good news for the monero economy. That's all XMR taken off the market and limiting the supply. Not to mention the added use for XMR. Since dooglus launched just-dice v2 with CLAM the CLAM price is up more than 10x. Although it can't exactly compare, my guess is we'll see a rally taking the price out of the 0.002s at least as people are buying monero to invest.

I used to be an investor at just-dice back in the day, but now I am going to gather funds and invest in MoneroDice.



well it is a little bit different since clams was just another shitcoin in the game and monero was and probably still is one of the most interesting altcoins in the game.

nevertheless the structure is the same - dooglus is probably the most trusted person in gambling. fluffy is also well known and has a huge reputation. besides that gambling probably feels good since it is financing development Smiley .

When I was looking for PHP-Monero (without remembering the project name), I looked for it here first. Maybe there should be a small section at the bottom pointing to non-official projects related to accepting Monero?

Looks like they are listed under Libraries and Helpers here which doesn't seem like the right place to me at all.

https://getmonero.org/getting-started/merchants

In any case, I agree with the idea of a pointer at the bottom of the page you mentioned

Another thing I can't find is the information about how people can contribute directly to updating the web site. (I was going to post that here.)

It's github. https://github.com/monero-project/monero-site/

"direct" is not the best term for github for the non-initiated, but, thats what it is.

MoneroDice.

108k now already! Also, I agree with your assertion :-)

I am a bit jealous, CK custodial account balance (104k XMR) was just surpassed by a thing one day old...

Maybe we should also go live, after 205 years of incubation  Cheesy

The density of a game inversely correlates with its appeal to the masses. Sad but not that surprising Smiley

I wrote about this.

For higher XMR price, we need higher adaptation. To do that, the XMR-adaptation has to be made easy. So, a XMR-payment plug-in or any such thing for webshops is needed.

The plug in has to be so easy to install, that an ordinary dude can do it almost or completely by himself. Using XMR as a payment has to be easy also for a customer. When the customer wants to make the order and the payment, the plug in has to do fiat-XMR or BTC-XMR conversion of the price, and also to give the payment address and the payment id for the customer. Great plus would be, if the plug-in also showed XMR-price of each item at the front page.

XMR adaptation has to be so easy, that there is no need for Bitpay-kind of services. Then XMR will start take over BTC.

What about here.
https://getmonero.org/design-goals/
Is there any such projects going on at the moment?

Is the point of the message so irrelevant, that no one is willing to even comment about it? Easy-to-install XMR-payment-plug-in?

Anyway, someone wrote, that it would be great if privacy-oriented businesses started accepting XMR. I think that is a great idea. We must exploit XMRs the most significant feature, the untraceable transfers. First in my mind becomes anonymous internet, domain and hosting services. Adult entertainment. Internet gambling. Online dating like Ashley Madison.

I guess the anonymous internet services are the best place to start promoting XMR, since there the customers understand some technology in addition of privacy.

Anyone interested?

Yeah, i would love to see one for OScommerce. If there was a xmr payment plug in i would already have an small eshop operational since July. I tried to build something myself but i failed. I will try again in mid October but hopefully something will have come out till then Cheesy Actually the only thing needed is to track the price and refresh every now and then. Conversions to fiat is automatically made by OScommerce.

This isn't a starting point?

its a great starting point, but its impossible to find !!! We really need to work on organizing the available resources. Can someone link to that php thing on getmonero.org or monerobase.com? Both have easy to edit content systems. I keep forgetting.
