I was considering buying some Monero with the prices falling recently, but do not like that it only trades on 1 exchange. Do you guys know if any other exchanges are planning to add XMR any time soon? Currently 100% of my crypto holdings are in Bitcoin, and I was wanting to speculate just for the hell of it. Maybe I should hit up fluffy for an OTC trade or something..

FYI I am not a day trader...so I would be buying and HODLing.

The option available besides Poloniex and OTC is Shapeshift.io - but the amount available there fluctuates and is usually a smaller amount. So if you are looking for a larger amount, try and catch the dumps on Poleniex or do an OTC trade.

XMR is also listed in Bittrex

Perhaps they are not done accumulating yet.

That, and perhaps Cryptsy was also bribed with insta-mined DASH to delay adding an obviously superior competitor.

We know Cryptsy has zero ethics because:

1) they ignore the votes and BTC in support of adding XMR
2) they conspired with GAW/JoshGarza/PayCoin to perpetuate the 'PrimeController' cloud mining fraud.

'Prime Controller' sounds a lot like 'MasterNode.' Both HYIPs promise to deliver gold donkeys via centralized PoS. What a coincidence!

Now that KoziTwo's payment gateway is done, Cryptsy has no excuse for XMR's conspicuous continued absence.

I think they're just waiting for the GUI. I don't see the average Cryptsy user being all that bright. With the added 'complication' of transaction IDs and 'Hey Cryptsy, where the hell has my XMR deposit gone?' overloading Cryptsy's support to the point of meltdown... its probably not a bad thing. If the system appears to look dysfunctional to the average idiot then it may be better to wait.

Crypto is the separation of Power and State.

When Monero was listed, David Latapie approached me on PM. He laid out the reasons why I should invest. I did.

He got to you before I did?

Yes, the next day following the listing in Polo. I had acknowledged the project before but not researched it during the inception, takeover, otc and cryptonote-exchange days (in total numbering about 30 days).

So I am one of the most senior of the monerenoj as well, having been involved for 90% of the coin's existence.

ADD: I checked that your contact was later. Perhaps the critical threshold was your PM. It's important to get recommendation from existing contacts, (David I did not know at all that time).

Can this information be used to fish other people like me into the coin? I am sure both they and the community benefit Grin

I agree that a thoughtful approach of more people of influence can make a difference, such as which occurred in your case.

The contact must be tailored and personal to be effective.

It was #1 on cryptsy voting for quite some time last summer/fall, even before they allowed paid votes for XMR. they acknowledged to add it at some point.

Not sure why they have not added, tbh. Perhaps they are waiting for the "official" database release.

Welcome.

There are many in the same boat as you and the concern about one major exchange trading almost all volume is valid, but for someone planning and holding on an individual basis, this is a big plus. Purchase -> Local wallet

Monero is on poloniex, bittrex, bter, and probably some other smaller exchanges (including hitbtc, but that is not recommended).

Cryptsy has said they are working on adding it, which they certainly should since it has been at or near the top of their voting list for many months. If you or anyone has some information about why they haven't already done what their users have asked them to do and added it, please let us know.

Thanks for the support. I find that getting information on Monero to the people who have the highest propensity to appreciate and act on it, is the key to success.

When Monero was listed, David Latapie approached me on PM. He laid out the reasons why I should invest. I did.

I have been approached in a similar way by proponents of quite a few coins both before and after, but never found the reasons to invest compelling enough.

No need for gimmicks. Intelligent people can act on facts. Getting their attention is the difficult part.

I don't think the GUI is the key. Monero appeals most to extremely intelligent people who also have lots of money (aminorex, ArticMine). This type of guys will be the deciders of the price in the short (1 year) term. The masses come later.

It does help some investors who aren't necessarily comfortable with command line tools and don't want to keep their coins on a web site. Unfortunately even the third party GUI wallets at present require some facility with the command line to install and configure.

Only a basic GUI is needed for this target market, not something that would attract or serve the masses.

Yup, and when the GUI is released (after the prerequisites are met) we can expect the price to make a very large upward swing and bounce around that point. Where that point is is anyone's guess right now. My Guess would be about .05 or so.

BTW Rpietila I also enjoy reading your posts, It's obvious you put alot of effort into them.

I really doubt the GUI alone will result in a price increase that large to be honest. Sure, anything is possible, but I'd wager the probability is exceedingly low.

I should refocus to the MiG thing. That is directing to the above segment. Here, my laborious scenario analyses did not receive even one comment. That is indicative that you aren't even interested in Monero here! We need more leaders, and we are bound to get them on board in the coming months.

I agree with you here with some qualifications. The official GUI(s) is only really possible with the database working well. And when those two things are in place we could see more "masses" come on board. We have to be ready.

The only danger here is some displacement by a crypto upstart with a gui etc. But that is an outlier.

By the way, I found your recent posts VERY interesting. And so thorough I felt no need to comment much. I do appreciate the effort.

Heads up. 20th century history is largely off topic unless there is some direct connection to Monero

The money is coming from the treasures of the wicked into the hands of the righteous ones.

This has to be a bad joke, or a prophesy of your own demise, in the view of some of your old quotes from the same month, visible in the previous page.

What I can say to your credit, is that your despicable character prompted me to read Hitler's biography. Apparently the guy was very opposed against liars and thieves.

Nothing in this message should be construed to mean anything above its literal meaning and must be quoted fully including disclaimer.

Theologically it is wrong actually what I claimed here. I basically put it up to provocate you. Grin

Theologically speaking, a man can be rich and wicked but also righteous and rich.
In case of the first, the reason is G-d repays the few good deeds of a wicked with cash in his/her face so that G-d do not owe anything in the day of Judgement.
The latter case is perhaps a situation of a philantrophist who is the tool to give money to Torah learning and people coming closer to the Creator (note: not Jeshu since he is not a Creator but a wicked human being).

When it comes to Hitler's biography, I am sure he has his reasons to antisemitism. After all, he needed the support of his people to his evil deeds such as Kristallnacht or other redistributions of people's wealth and belongings.
Hitler himself was a thief and murderer.

Pricewise, if Monero ever succeeds, the payoff is not that nice (against btc) so that it would attract many investors at current prices. After all, it has to go up "only" 40 times from the current prices to reach the parity with btc(!!!). This shows how expensive Monero really is currently in relation to bitcoin.

There would've been a permanent display of Hitler's thievery if Nazi Germany hadn't been defeated: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrermuseum

He issued a decree placing stolen artwork under his control.
