More bullish news for Monero: blockchain analysis traces bitcoin, litecoin, dash, zcash transactions but is stumped by Monero - https://themerkle.com/blocksci-succesfully-traces-transactions-performed-with-dash-zcash-and-other-currencies/ XMR up 5% at $155.50 on news.


The merkle article oversimplifies the real findings of the reseach work : https://arxiv.org/pdf/1709.02489.pdf
In particular for zcash, only transparent adresses can be analysed, which is the expected behaviour since user need to activate the z adress to preserve anonymity.

Extract from the original article:
Zcash is also supported, at least to the extent that Zcash blockchain analysis is even possible:
it introduces a complex script that includes zero-knowledge proofs, but these aspects are parceled away in a special type of address that is not publicly legible by design.


I still prefer monero than zcash for the same reasons as many (massive premine, trusted setup...), but  we need to be honest when reporting these findings.
For dash, the conclusion of the merkle article is still valid.

Monero is the next big thing in crypto world. Its totally untraceble and this makes monero fantastic.
Transaction fees are little much more then other competitors but it worths who wants the real privacy about their money.
Wonderfull tech and dev team and wonderfull community will make monero above 1000$

I am using the GUI wallet on a mac. Is there an update? What happens if I don't upgrade? It says on reddit I will be kicked off the network. Will I lose my coins?
You will not lose your coins.  You do want to download and use the updated version.



Thank you capslock. How do I update it? Just download the new version? Or do I need to replace files etc, I find that hard to do.

I'm not on a Mac... but I think you should be able to install it discretely.  On my PC I just unzip the folder and run the gui from within the new folder.  Your old downloaded blockchain should work.

Just make sure you have a(n accurate) copy of your seed words.  That is all that matters.

Thanks mate! Managed to get it done smoothly Cool

HAHAHAHA complete monero shill FUD article! 0 proof!

Thanks for Proof of Butthurt!  Look, as Anon136 kindly pointed out, you still have time to buy Monero, before Dash is totally unmasked and it's too late.   

Alternatively, try therapy to get over your indoctrination?

This is just brilliant - the blustering dash head comments underneath are hilarious. Monero tech: BEATS THEM ALL.

The butthurt in these comments is just priceless!

By being in dash they have the luxury of not having missed the train at all. These people still have a chance to turn in their respectable dash profits into monero if they can overcome their hubris. I wonder how many will. I think not many. Most will go down with their leaky ship.

I mean... sure they can trace BTC and LTC, not meant to be anonymous. Dash, sure, it's a semi-ponzi potatoecoin with some strange mixing options and I always doubted their privacy claim. But ZCash? How did they do that?
Good to hear that Monero stands strong, didn't expect anything else. Keep it up Monero devs!

Monero is always one of the best altcoin for making an investment and so far it has given great profits to its investors and we can expect the same in future and I am hoping for the great profits from it in coming period.
