A good story always has a happy ending 

I packed my bags a month ago.  Just been hanging out at the airport spaceport, waiting for the journey to begin in earnest.  There has been much drama at the other gates, for entertainment while I wait.

omg my coffee is all over my keyboard now

This is legit taken from ancient biblical texts that were recently found in an old cave:-

The plan was to release GUI Beta 2 in conjunction with this point release. Thus, I expect the GUI Beta 2 binaries to be out tomorrow or the day thereafter.

You're welcome!

Will beta GUI 2 will be out for the HF in time? Thanks for always keeping us updated as well.

[ESSENTIAL UPDATE]: Monero 0.10.3 "Wolfram Warptangent" Released

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/61ilvb/essential_update_monero_0103_wolfram_warptangent/

https://github.com/monero-project/monero/releases/tag/v0.10.3

Damn, Monero - are you following BTC up, or down?

You're now looking over sold in USD terms, sober up FFS.

Careful - the cabal behind Dash see shorts building up as fuel for their pumps.  Shorts getting liquidated helps them.

This is not an organically rising coin, it's fixed.

One day there will be a short that cleans up, so far though 'you can follow the trail of the dead'.

Thanks Smooth ... & thanks for letting the OT slide.

@rdnkjdi you can see the loan rates on the Lending tab. Each coin has different rates.

Ah yeah I hadn't thought about the majority hiking short rates into oblivion.  Makes sense.

Saw that reddit post from some poor bastard who lost it all - with "it all" being a helluva lot shorting it all the way to like $90

Edit:  Is there a way for me to see current interest rates on Polo?  Looks like Bitmex is just 2% annually. 

Liquidity is low, coins are mostly controlled by a very small group.  They've burned a lot of shorters thus far, but I don't see how it could be pumped much higher from here.  Another thing that hasn't changed with it is transaction volume. Uh, ever.  Zero adoption.  So yes, it looks like a prime short to everyone that investigates at all.  Sooner or later, shorters will kill it, but the club is holding all of the loan coins as well, keeping the rates very high.  They did time this well, quite possibly with the help of Roger Ver and friends to help put the squeeze on BTC.  Theories abound, this is one of them.

So guys, I've been out of the crypto space for about a year. 

Came back to Monero's huge rise (congrats!), Ethereum's parabolic rise (not really a surprise) but Dash???

Figured it'd be dead or well below XMR by now.  Can someone give me the basic rundown on what's happened to it in the last year?  I'm aware of the premine, marketing as anon when it wasn't, masternodes, etc.  Has anything really changed?  I hear Roger Ver was pushing it?

Kinda contemplating opening a short against it against Monero or just fiat

Depending when you did it... I might have a TC coin or two.   I liquidated my btc position post etf news.  Some of that is now monero.  Wonder when to buy back btc.

But i told you a long while back...

No,not because I don't agree with you, but because you're saying things without backing them up with facts...
- transaction-volume went nowhere in dash since inception
- they're having less than half the number of reddit-subscribers than the monero-sub (you know, without marketing...)


Secondly, it is important to try to look in the future here. If privacy/anonimity is not sublime, it means you don't have a fungible currency... A currency that is not fungible is not a good currency and will fail in the long term imho...

anywayz, good luck on your further endeavours
best regards

Monero is actually the best coin for store of value right now. What else do you wish for? This crypto with mandatory privacy has worked flawlessly for past few months, and obviously has not been around as long as btc. When i think of best coins for store of value against USD, i think monero.

I completely agree with you.
Monero is a success already in many ways and I hope it will reach 1 billion market cap at some point.
I might be even willing to buy some Moneros for higher price if my other investments will make me more money. 

You call me troll because I do not agree with you.  
Dash is present on social media (Youtube). If someone who knows a little about crypto but not too deeply the best way to send anonymous transactions, (s)he probably says: using dash. That's because Dash is flooding their propaganda everywhere.
Still crypto's main purpose is a store of value, not transacting. Even many bitcoin merchants are removing bitcoins from their list of accepted payment methods (locally) because there are barely people using it so it is not worth it to accept bitcoins.

Dash is anonymous enough for average people, those of you who want more hard core privacy Monero is an excellent choice, but that is a niche and probably that's the reason why Monero will not need that much marketing. Those of you who need that sort of privacy will figure it out themselves. You see, many alts are far ahead bitcoin technologically but when it comes to network effect they fall short badly. And it is the network effect alone that creates the value for the coin (look at coinmarketcap).


I am not speaking down Monero and I think the current price is fine selling point (that's why I sold quite a lot around here).
I might buy some coins if the price gets severely undervalued (it might be slightly undervalued even now but I need better deal).
Maximum growth potential with XMR is to 0.04-0.05 btc so it is about 100 % ROI if you buy now and that potential will become reality.

In my investment philosophy, 100 % ROI is not that good. I prefer investing into places that can relatively easily increase in value by 20-100 times and Monero did met that.
Therefore, I owe a multitude of gratitude to the Monerians and developers, and of course - to Risto who got me into this. Thank you.
