Not to toot my own shillhorn, but there is now a fairly launched alternative (which may actually be the most fairly launched cryptonote ever) that meets the two concrete reasons put forward, but launched with it's own blockchain to avoid privacy degradation issues.

You mean Wownero?

Every other coin is soared with fork news but Monero did not. I liked MoneroV but it needed a confirmation from a big exchange

Why does it even exist? I get why eth classic and bcash exist, there was clash of opinions and enough demand for a fork, but this just seems like a cash grab leeching off Monero's good name.

The concrete reasons put forward are 10x the supply (move the decimal) and hardcap on emission that will be hit in fifty years or so; more vague reasons put forward are massive scaling improvements and mimblewimble integration (which they require a 5-10% premine for).

I say people can come closer to the subject

You are no fun! Grin

Plus I post OT in here all the time and people ignore it.

The way I look at it is it sort of depends what's going on. If there is vigorous and lively on topic discussion happening than don't interrupt it. If it's a slow day an no one is talking about anything anyway, why the heck not.

The Monero Speculation thread is a thread on Buttcointalk.org which shows the historical promise, and posting on this thread will be the tread of 2018 for sure.

The only other threads which will bring them the challenge are the Vertge and DarkOnions. They will bring the much greater challenge becauyse of the number of RingCTs is so much.

Monero could be a good investment because many people consider investing in digital currencies. Since our technological world is changing, you can transact fast, secure, and anonymously. It uses a technology similar to the Virtual Private Network, thus defining itself as untraceable.

Thank you for your enlightening post and wonderful thoughts which will no doubt widen and deepen the level of the debate here on this thread...

The interesting links shown in your signature made your post all the more welcome.

His post could be good investment advice because it contained many different words and several parts of speech. It was similar to many other posts of which some were longer and others were shorter, thus defining itself as indispensable.

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it

Dammit can't make a buy, not at home and my password file got corrupted on the laptop, well at least I remembered the password for important shit like this board and my emails.

. Perfect time to grab some and by the time I get home I'm sure price will be up again v/s BTC. Sad

where is the ledger integration? It was "very very soon" two weeks ago

It cant officially happen before there is 0.12.1 Should happen this month for sure. Probably first half.

Read somewhere reddit/twitter that 0.12.1 is one to two weeks out.
Still expecting cli only. Would be a great surprise to see gui integration but I really doubt it.

Similar was said on last developers meeting. I guess best is to wait till next one, upcoming Sunday, we might already have the exact date. My point was more that it is not up to ledger guys right now. After there will be 1.12.1 then we might bug them with questions what are their plans.

10-4. That's a solid reminder. Still working on this whole patience is a virtue thing Grin

Monero is a secure, private and untraceable currency system. Monero uses a special encryption method to ensure that all transactions are 100% disconnected and untraceable. The money management is entirely yours. I think the price is now affordable. I think x2-x3 can do

How far is Monero from incorporating a Lightning Network? It would go a long way towards addressing critics’ scaling concerns. What would atomic crosschain swaps over Lightning do to Monero’s price?

The below posted today by SarangNoether might be interesting:

Refund Transactions

Informal discussions with a Purdue researcher at the IEEE workshop yielded great new information about refund transactions under active research by one of his students. Refund transactions are a necessary component of certain payment channel applications. A scheme was proposed to us that involves modifying the structure of outputs and ring signatures to allow for a sender to include two outputs: one is valid prior to a specified block height, and the other is valid afterward. We are working with the researchers on the details and security of this scheme, which could have great applications to Monero transactions.

Thanks, thats damn interesting and would certainly hurdle barriers to adoption.
