What he probably meant is a release version which includes the Database (so 0.8.8.7).
Precisely.

Precisely.
And Monero falls even further, what is going on?
People losing faith in monero. There is already no official GUI since over a year now
An official GUI is not necessary. All we need is the database fix, and the third-party GUIs will do just fine.
database fix is here. Its happening. So...... ??

Not for idiots like me.
Thanks for your effort but I have had no time to try your Windows DB fix.I can still use Monero
I bought a nibble today as I have been at every drop since 300.
I still haven't figured out how to sell it.

Bitcoin fungibility is already attacked significantly. Yet that is probably nothing compared to one or two years from now.
Real reason is that most people learn through crash and burn : demand will come once bitcoin fungibility is attacked or dashcoin fails. Right now, this is the time to accumulate. It's cheap. It could be cheaper as we are about twice the value of the latest bottom, but who knows? Its kinda of crazy we're already able to buy this low anway

Well, if we use my last digest #'s from 3/25, there were 6.8 million monero available.
Now, there are 7.4 million monero available. So thats about 600k new monero.
If you do a rough calculation based on the data of the last spike, its roughly 500k monero. So lets use 500k monero.
The price at the last spike was 0.0041 according to coinmarketcap.
So, if every coin emitted since that day were to be bought at that price, that would be 2050 BTC, and at $230 per BTC, thats $471,500
There just simply wasn't half a million dollars worth of demand out there. Why is there no demand? No idea. Probably because no one knows about Monero except those involved in these forums.
Is the lack of a GUI a real reason? Perhaps, perhaps not. I don't think so. Indeed, I was thinking about it this morning and realized - if you're a person who needs to protect their financial movements (some of the use cases we've been talking about, where you send money overseas and you don't want your relatives neighbors knowing about it because kidnapping or theft or something), you can probably hire someone to do this, and you probably already have. It's probably not a far fetch to think that you could hire someone with knowledge of cryptocurrencies to perform this function for you (and you probably will, because your rich, and aint nobody got time for that). And that person with knowledge of cryptocurrencies can probably navigate the CLI.

Some people simply feel the need to sell, and do so.

I think this is meant to be a security and privacy issue regarding MS and crypto currencies interacting together what arcticmine discribed.
It is not wise to use a privacy/anonymity tool on a MS machine....

Bump (and Microsoft, and HD firmware unless you have ideas how this relates to Monero)
Speaking of which let's pivot away from this free and open source software discussion unless it is tied in directly to Monero's future prospects.
The future of crypto-currency requires Monero on GNU/Linux not just Monero. If one is using Windows 8.1 RT the only choice will be to use a service such as Coinbase regardless of whether one is using Bitcoin, Monero or some other crypto-currency. The reality is that Microsoft has been gradually moving Windows towards the fully locked down Orwellian Telescreen Windows RT model for at least the last 15 years, much like slowly rising a temperature on a pot of cold water with a frog in it. My expectation is that the frog will be dead certainly within the next decade and very likely within the next 5 years.
Edit: Those that are still in the Microsoft pot would be wise to jump out while they are still able.

You do know that Microsoft is not moving forward with RT, right?
And, ArticMine, just so that there is no confusion (based on our conversation in the MoneroX thread), I do happen to like what FOSS brings to the table, and I think it's important to have cryptocurrencies such as Monero implemented under such a philosophy, but you are also coming across as very ideological and hyperbolic rather than realistic and practical. It's important to have support on Windows. Have you even followed the change that Satya Nadella is directing at Microsoft? Windows 10 will do just fine over the next five years.

Up until Saturday my dominant crypto strategy was accumulating cheapish btc for later conversion to xmr.
Now, my dominant crypto strategy is to burn those btc on cheapish xmr.

Heads up for the new guys.
If I only knew 10 months ago what I know now, I would have paid close attention to these quasi one-liners.
Yet monkey has been on a losing streak with his bullish calls over the past month and half. As have I.
Bitcoin is a bit of a puzzle lately, and all crypto is hooked to bitcoin. I don't feel confident making any trades. I think it's time to settle into long-term positions and just wait. We may have to wait a long time. Note the change in my signature.
thelibertycap, I nuked the meme pic as it was off topic and also its a bit unfair to create a Monero endorsement with a real person's picture when he hasn't actually endorsed it.

You are right, Richard Stallman could never settle with anything less then free software.
side note: I emailed him several months ago about cryptonote protocol (not monero specifically), because he is known to dislike Bitcoin for the same reason it is becoming apparent now (lack of privacy) his answer was so inane I almost forgot about it, something about taxes.
