Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 545. (Read 3314316 times)

No idea why mobile wallets even exist, I don't trust my andorid at all, everyone is clueless what the OS is doing and what vulnerabilities or even backdoors may lurk, why would you deposit cryptocurrency on such a device is beyond me.

Think, as in secondhand reports. I don't really know so if you think this is really important don't let my comments discourage.

Also, deleted several posts from our usual spammer shilling another coin and general nonsense/abuse, along with replies

Oh great, an unofficial mobile wallet.
If this doesn't smell like a great scam to steal a shitload of wallets i don't know what does...
It's also nice because they can't just steal your Monero, they can steal every other crypto you have on your mobile as well, gotta love mobile wallets and the mobile system security.
Be warned.

Most GOOD Alts have been deflating since BTC is gaining strength  I suspect BTC pump is incoming.. should have sold earlier..   

Monerujo - Production Release v1.0 now on Google Play Store - by m2049r

I covet your enthusiasm currently.  I am discouraged by the deflating XMR/BTC status.

Awesome call, that was.  Lately I am more focussed on the (easier, on assumptions) longer-term estimation task:

Monero has consistently repriced higher with each positive development, and the number and scope of bullish developments in the pipe is increasing, not decreasing, as the price, hash and community all rise in tandem.  It's the foothills of the exponential phase of adoption here.  After, comes the super-exponential expansion phase, as n log n network effect  kicks in, composed with a FOMO function.  Eventually, the market saturates at a given development level, FOMO dies, and price pulls back, but until XMR denominates at least 10% of the 22 trillion  USD dark global GDP and at least 1% of the 80 trillion light GDP (for PQ = 3 tUSD) the cycle keeps repeating in a larger S-curve on a scale of ca. 10 years.  If the velocity is an historically typical 5, the market cap of XMR should top out in the neighborhood of 600 bn USD, and 1 XMR should be worth about 30k USD2012.

(The reason why BTC is over 4k now is not the size of the BTC economy, but the outsized reserve demand, which implies a much lower velocity of money.)

In the longer run (multiple decades) XMR value should grow with the global economy, so holding it will be like holding the DJ Global Index, in terms of future expectation at any given moment, which should be modulated by some XMR-specific risk factor.

I installed that wallet on my phone as soon as I found out about it.  I'm hoping that Monero will become well known and widely used as bitcoin, with onine retailers accepting monero, people trading it for cash, and using monero for all the stuff bitcoin is used for now.
But people are creatures of habit and tend to do as they're told, with a respect for authority that verges on reverence.  Never mind how fast the technology develops, it's going to take a long time for society to evolve.  It may be that some catastrophe happens first.

Ha ha from $41 to $95. When most crypto under preform Bitcoin last 3 months.

For sure rare 3 months ago  predicted Monero at $100 at end of September. Most thought HW wallet, mobile wallet and multisig will be the triggers.



PS: Is funny at time of writing this first Monero mobile wallet just come out of Beta: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.m2049r.xmrwallet

Right, 3 months. https://www.worldcoinindex.com/coin/monero Click on 3m and look at the fucking chart.

Since I invested in Monero in Bittrex the price has gone down and down still now. And I think this trend is continued for last 3 month. Have anybody the idea when the reversal will come?

Is Segwit2X a government/corporate takeover and what could that mean for XMR / the entire cryptospace?

Hoping to hear from some of the knowledgable people like aminorex or smooth.

Hmm... Sounds good. So you think some people are working on, or do you know some are working on it?

And we need many of these webmining services. So that there for sure is as less centralization as possible. And to let the webminingpool fees to go down. Anyway what kind of a hardware/software/maintenance is needed at the webmining service provider side? If money is needed to start this, it will not be a problem. XMR crowd funding will do it in no time.

Yea. Definetely webmining is good for any coin. Specially as long as there is enough webminingpools to keep it decentralized.

At first he definitely was the real deal. But imagine his situation: he became known and his opinions started to be perceived as something to listen to. Once this happened surely many different forces have been trying to use his voice for their purposes. Maybe he gave in and took the money, maybe they forced him somehow, maybe they tricked and manipulated him and he truly believes what he is saying. Remember he is still just a human, a fugitive, a guest in quite a horrible (human rights wise) country that he basically cannot even leave (nowhere to go). The point is we don't know what's really going on with him and accusing him of bad intentions doesn't seem fair to me.

Yeah, Snowden is 100% a controlled disidence agent. He keeps working for the NSA. Only blind poeple fail to see that since the very beginning

I think there are some people already working on it. I agree it is a good idea to encourage those efforts.

The coinhive.com success will increase the risk of the 51% attack. So why should not we start more of these web-mining services? Mining will be decentralized more and there will be less 51% risk.

The Monero community for sure have ability to do this.

I know monero about a year ago and now I got a lot of profit, many of the issues that say monero will skyrocket at the end of this year, and this is a good opportunity to immediately to invest.

Also wanted to say I finally got around to taking a look at Coinhive tonight, and OMG it was idiot-simple to set up a basic banner-ad type control to offer XMR mining to a website visitor on a simple basic web page.

Took me all of about 15 minutes to read instructions, copy&paste code, test, tweak a bit and upload to a web host... and it appears to work great! Allows the user to start and stop mining and raise or lower the CPU load very easily: really very slick.

Now, bearing in mind I couldn't code my way out of a wet paper bag... LOL if someone like me can use this? Knowing *only* the most basic, simple HTML at all?

This thing really COULD be on track to something HUUUGGE.... 

Comparison and imitation is respect.

Monero is now the gold standard, the one to beat. These coins seek to argue they are 'better' than Monero, because they are threatened.  Ergo, we are the leading private (and therefore fungible) crypto.
