Building a nice ramp for 18'th december 2017 Grin

What's happening 12/18/2017?

Yea I am interested this too.

Globees Monero Shopify integration? Does anybody know?

Would hope Globee news is before Dec 18th...one of the goals was to be ready for the holiday season, which is just about over at that point

Who know how far monero goes in some 1-2 weeks? Should I hold or bitcoin fork will decrease it more?

Anonymous coins are future ! Monero is proven but there is big competition which will lower Moneros price like $ONION $PIVX and Verge

As far as I am aware of OnionCoin is just utilizing TOR for anonymity. If that is the only anonymity feature of the coin then you could just use Electrum or Mycelium and connect through TOR (its just a setting). Onion offers nothing new.

As for Pivx, it’s just DASH without the premine. I don’t know how darksend stands up to ring signatures, but I think that the Pivx developers are planning on focusing on having an all-round currency and not an anonymous currency so it doesn't really conflict with Monero much.

I know nothing about Verge though.

Verge is just a Bitcoin clone that offers some clients with tor support, which is easy to do with bitcoin as well, so it's worse privacy than Bitcoin since people actually use bitcoin. They're also supposedly releasing a wallet supporting stealth addresses, but this is a wallet feature (not a protocol feature) that has been used in Bitcoin wallets as far back as 2012 or 2013, so again, nothing that bitcoin can't do with better privacy through sheer volume of txs.

Big competition? All of those coins have richlists/taintlists. Bolting tor onto a protocol that isn't private to begin with is like putting a Bugatti body on a Hindustan Ambassador frame--sure it looks fast to the uninitiated (and you may be able to sell it as such), but anyone looking under the hood is going to be thoroughly unimpressed.

I don't know if you bought these coins, but if you did, you should get your money back.

There have been several posts about other coins which claim to be privacy-centric.

Here's a good comparison of many privacy-centric coins: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/wiki/comparison

That page is on a Monero site, so while you may be wondering about bias (everyone has bias), ask yourself the more important question: is the information on that page true?

If it is true, then bias no longer matters. If it is not true, please show how it is not true with links supporting any claims.

Verge = Bitcoin v6 + Compromised TOR. ("wraith protocol" besides being the most cringey thing I've ever witnessed, is a poorly implemented version of stealth addresses)
PivX = Dash clone, shit version of coinjoin + (not yet developed) trusted setup starks.
Onion = Worse than verge, if there is such a thing.

I hope you're trolling or bag holding and dont actually mean what you wrote, because if you do, you need to do more research.

If you don't understand the technical aspects of these things we can help teach you in simple language.

Hey, at least he didn't say zcash, or any of the other derivations.

I also hope for a new BTC all time high. Monero will profit from it just a little bit later.

I have a feeling that we will see Bitcoin get a minor boost after the next fork and then a large boost once the Lightning network starts getting utilized. And since Bitcoin and Monero seem to pump and dump in a similar fashion I expect that that will be a nice boost to Monero too.

Verge Wraith protocol will make Monero look like a joke.

Soon the real privacy King will rise. Verge is the name.

LOL Verge morons are my fav.

tell me more about your BTC v6 (now on 15) clone with compromised TOR bolted on. Such ANON, WOW.

The question you need to ask yourself is: "Would I use verge or monero to make a tx I wanted to keep private?"

If you answered verge you're an idiot. sorry, I know this isnt what you wanted to hear, but i'm afraid I only deal in truths.

p.s. "VVraith Protocol" is the most cringe thing I've ever seen.

New ATH for Bitcoin will come sooner then you think.. Wink

but we can not compare investment giant (BTC) with Monero.
Monero is for sure very good for long term, but if you invest in long, you can not expect that there will not come dump of price.

So, bitcoin breaks $5000 and get in the news again. I just saw one full page about it in my favorite newsPaper. That attract new hordes of people in Crypto. They first buy Bitcoin. After a week or so they start looking around the Cryptospace. As always so far, many see Monero. Monero price goes BOOM.

While BTC goes up, Monero keep USD value or loses a tiny bit. It happened so last two weeks. When fresh money comes price simply doubles or more.

What is difference from May or August when we saw last jumps?
Most important is that Monero now have a mobile wallet.
GUI sync much faster after last hardfork.
Monero is also available in South Korea on Bithumb.
More news, articles, posts whatever of Monero on internet for people to read about.
More merchants selling their stuff for Monero.

I hardly wait for the next Bitcoin ATH. Monero ecosytem will be ready for those CryptoNoobs with Hardware wallet and way more merchants because of multisig.
