i dont know why you guys so worried about other coin progress Huh

i thought this is monero's thread ?

so what if Dash reach monero's marketcap, what would you do ? cry some more... fud some more ?

Because that's our competition as well, we should look to their performance and perhaps get something out of it..

Dash is a centralised, self-serving scam. It's just propped up by pretty good marketing and coordinated moves to further the interests of the Masternode cabal.

It has no real quality, it is not competition. It's just not been unmasked yet.

Dash is not the worry, it helps people who make proper research to realise just how good Monero actually is.

The cream always rises.

Probably nothing... My Monero stash is worth significiantly more than it was when I invested into it initially so I am not hurting (hundreds of percents since I was in since the early Poloniex days).
I am more worried about the currency competition point of view. There is no room for more than 1 anonymous currency (in my opinion) and it is better be Monero, isn't it.

Xmr and sdc are the best private coins
I think the dark will be a pump dump n without serious legs
I wouldn't even buy it as a hedge and the market has decided xmr is better than dash

I think maybe we can make a moneypot and start giving monero some extra publicity in chinese language/market as the Moneypot sites seems popular there. Investment shouldn't be expensive, and there is nothing much to lose doing that.

Agreed.

The Monero community has been extremely supportive of efforts to raise money for development where clear targets that make sense have been floated.

I also think getting the GUI to a less 'beta' looking version, working a bit more like Bitcoin Core (one click to open and no messing around with separate daemon / pointing at nodes) is a probably needed. It's still not 'foolproof' on all platforms.

Adding multi language support to the GUI would then be far more worthwhile.

To refer more directly to your suggestion: some marketing and informative support at a basic level in Asian (indeed in all major) languages does make sense anyway.

I noted that even Dash does seem to do good business on the KL-based xBTCe site, so getting added there and on mainland Chinese exchanges is worth pursuing. This would be easier with some informative stuff in Far Eastern languages to justify a case for exchanges based in the region to add XMR.

I would be happy to support these goals, as I am sure others would too. XMR is not Dash and that is to be commended in many respects, but if they are out there and we are not, we cannot complain that people do not realise Monero is a better option.

When it come to translations I always hear only about China. If we look number of nodes. I am not saying number of nodes means that much Monero is known in that country. But it is some factor. And if we return on that graph of top economic countries I posted few days ago here. We see:

United States as strongest economic country have   214 nodes
Germany   as fourth strongest economic country have 79 nodes
China   as second strongest economic country have 40 nodes
Japan as third strongest economic country have only 11 nodes

I am not saying there should not be as much as possible translated to Chinese so they understand Monero better, since obviously is a need, but I never heard anyone talk about Japan, where translations are also needed, since lots of them dont speak English and i think rate of knowing Monero is even behind China.

so thats great if your stash worth 10x or more from initial investment. however your investment today would worth 50% more if you bought Dash when the price was at par with monero.

i guess monero competition is not against the fiat money Huh

heh... so monero is set to destroy other crypto at any cost ? because... "currency competition point of view" Shocked

Some of my Moneros are worth more than 10 x from the initial purchase price, some significiantly less... I actually have bought some coins at 0.018-0.02 level as well. Not too many though.
Overall, the profit is hundreds of percents (average purchase price is sub 0.003).
That being said, bear in mind I do not own that many Moneros as some might think, my position is relatively small - I should have gone all-in Monero around 1 year ago, and prefertably leverage myself from toe to the teeth but that is just after math.

Monero competition is not against fiat - I agree. It is against Dark coin. Bitcoin is combatting against fiat money and it has done pretty good job recently. However, I am a bit against too trollish approach to Dark coin community because I bet no determined Dark bagholder will buy into Monero thanks to trolling... I might be wrong though. The correct approach would be perhaps more intelligent...?

OneCoin is the most anonymous cryptocurrency. Nobody has seen its blockchain, yet I have been told it will be a huge thing. Huh

So anonymous that the blockchain doesn't even exist! How can you audit what isn't there?!?!?!

In all seriousness, I've heard a couple rumors about this coin but haven't seen any technical info.
If anyone has some links feel free to PM me so we don't have to spam a bunch of off-topic posts in this thread.

Well, I am 99.9999 % sure it is just another MLM scam and a ponzi scheme. The Onecoin doesn't even exist in my opinion - not even in the computer of their CEO.

------

Now I am a little bit concerned on the rise of Darkcoin - it doesn't take that much to catch Monero marketcapwise, and knowing Darkcoin, when it goes up it will stay there and the dumps are unlikely (at least in a massive manner) so let's hope they cannot pump it much higher...

Around 58,000,000 more and it will match Monero's marketcap.
Plus, liquidity is also improving on this Dash thing...

Yup, let's hope it will not catch Monero.

if you would be able to estimate the extent of adoption then it will only be a point in time where the adoption and emission curves intersect. Pretty sure Rpitila have all the numbers to do this if he did not. I'll ballpark it around January to March

Just posted this in the main Monero thread. Subject for possible discussion:

//=========crosspost

I just had a bit of an 'aha' moment I want to run by you for consideration:

Following an r/monero discussion on the frequent occurrence of orphans in Monero compared to bitcoin.

Which at first sounded alarming, but on pondering what is actually happening with mining in the network for orphans to occur, it seems to me it is another plus for monero and its choice of mining algorithm :

Eg that the number of orphans could be used as a metric to measure decentralisation. This would have to be weighted by blocktime and hashrate (being an actual negative multiplier eg loads of hash and not many orphans = bad) and so on to represent a meaningful comparison of actual decentralisation and therefore resilience of the network.

here's the reddit thread:

Non-substantive comments such as Monero sucks, Monero is a scam, Monero is great, Monero to the moon, etc. are considered off topic. Every post and reply should add to the discussion.
