Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 897. (Read 3314350 times)
Merry Christmas people! Did anybody else gift XMR?
I'm pretty sure if Monero was listed on a single Chinese exchange, the price could easily double.
If it started trading heavily on some Chinese exchanges, a price of $20 to $30 seems like it could be possible.

not every coin does well in china and im not sure why ...
they have a strange obsession with litecoin for some reason and rank it very highly
above most other coins
Probably translates to good fortune coin, or something else us gweilos wouldn't understand.

To all pool operators:
If you haven't already, you will need to update the node-cryptonote-util software in order for your pool to cross the january fork. I think many of the pool ops have done so already, but for those who are not in #monero-pools, you will need this patch: https://paste.fedoraproject.org/506116/17116821/
This applies to zone117x's version of the pool. There is a version of this ported to clintar's fork, whichI don't have handy right now, but I will post it when I do is here: https://github.com/M5M400/node-cryptonote-util/commit/37f50f9b535f0258c3a1c6f7247a891b4c211ff3.
If you're not running this when the fork happens, you will be forked off.
For pool miners, you may want to check with your pool op that they're running the patch a few days before the fork, and switch to a known good pool otherwise. Please prefer smaller pools when doing so.

If you are an XMR hodler I can recommend you this:
Read all the chinese rumours and interest on the XMR-reddit while listening to "Bruno Mars - Talking to the moon".

I am really bullish right now, expecting leg up within next 24 hours and start of new weekly candle

Sell orders keep decreasing and price of XMR is almost at 10$. With BTC calming down and Monero getting RingCT the 5th of January, feels like good times ahead!
And if coinbase adds monero we gonna probably achieve 30$.

being stuck at 3.3 tx per second maybe allright for now but i feel that when the real big money moves in they will swat away the
a govt ,nation or financial group with deep pockets could simply buy up the mining farms and steer the project in the direction of their liking ,if btc ends up being a valuable financial instrument for international trade the fiat used to buy control over it at todays prices will be insignifigant .........
the next few years will be interesting ,i like it both ways
im invested in honeybadger and honeypony but i think badger will rape the pony in the next 6 months
Agreed, I'm in both too but currently pondering my BTC/XMR ratio and considering re-balance for the new year in light of recent positive tailwinds behind Monero.
But what you said above about the Big Money coming into BTC and sweeping away the neckbeards (LOL) makes a LOT of sense too, and I hadn't considered that angle before... so thanks for that.
I'm curious what your personal ratio/balance on Bitcoin/Monero is now? And any other alts seem worthwhile to you, maybe MaidSafe?
P.S. {Edit}
people like greg who may be slowing down progress...
Hey man, where were *you* when *I* recently made an unintentional back-handed slight against Good Ol' Greg, over there in the other Monero thread? LOL I was *attacked* as an ignorant troll by some loyal defenders of the faith, so... careful brother, ya may bring 'em out here too, with your subversive talk like that
I think the BTC developers have as much actual power as Barry Soetero did.
I said in early 2013 that I could have BTC developed and the network upheld, all by my own decision if needed.
Now, 4 years after, would it have been too bad as you now see what did happen...?

Vinny Lingham has made accurate predictions before and he has similar thoughts on the matter and predicts that governments will be the largest buyers of btc in 2017

your comparing an oil tanker to a canoe at the moment tho

Ahh, god man.. that's some terrible imagery...
You know I just thought of something.
The more Bitcoin goes up in price will inevitably cause a lot of push back on the devs from doing anything like Hard Forking anything in or doing anything of the sort to improve. I mean in a way, Bitcoin is being bought up for absolutely no reason at all. That's kind of like a kid being rewarded for not doing his homework... what do you think he is going to do next time when home work is assigned?
When I see Bitcoin's price and network effect grow up, I just see people looking at Bitcoin's price as a reason for validating it's usefulness and "success" (it's been happening for a while). If that's the case, I just feel like something has got to give to where there is so much back up on the network that people will get insanely aggravated with it and probably start selling which possibly cause panic selling.
This is why I believe the "mandatory fork system" that Monero has is so awesome... Keeps everything "fresh" just like in Linux.

the more money goes into btc the more develpment will be forced to happen ......
people like greg who may be slowing down progress now will be removed by those with a larger economic interest
And I don't know if I really believe all that... I understand the logic behind all of that, I really do... but at what point does it become "enforceable"? I mean, was $700-800 not enough monetary incentive for people to "force" core to do something? If $900 is, who is going to be the big tough guy to lead this mob to grab their pitchforks and torches in order to "force" Bitcoin Core to do stuff?
my guess is that most of the spotty teenagers will be bought out of btc in the $3-7k range and large funds,financial institutions and government money will take it over before the 2020 halving ........
these sort of mega corps will not be blackmailed or held over a barrell by people like core and they will ultimately take btc throug the 10-100k range and beyond
i think the current core devs are not as important as they think they are and they will either conform or get their wings clipped when btc gets really valuable ......
I have a feeling in the not so distant future financial institutions will attempt to take control of XMR as well as most all if not all of the coins, resulting in people losing faith in the idea of coins forcing the government to step in and bailout.
No matter who owns coins.
Problem with current fiat money is that can be printed by government.
If some government have 10% of Monero let them have them. They cant make 11% unless they buy it. And if they will start some war, will have 9% after it.

... When we will have a node in the North Korea, then we could say that network is really secured.
That would get node owner killed.
Looks like bitcoin grabbed this anonymous sucker in a headlock and applies the force of the whole body to suffocate its victim.
Ek charts aint looking sexy. All signs are that it gets steadily smothered by bitcoin, and I would expect prices to hit 280K basement. Someone also messes up with FCT lol. I wish bitcoin bull
had more arms to take FCT down in headlock, too.

I don't see XMR as a legitimate challenger to BTC, XMR is for those who want to take one specific feature of bitcoin (anonymity) and take it a step further
ROTFLMFAO! You idiot, BTC is completely traceable and not even remotely anon.
Not everyone gives a shit about anon.....
Xmr fills a niche, it ain't no btc tho....
Believe it or not, not everyone gives a shit about BTC. And that had nothing to do with my response. I responded to his patently false troll post. He shills scam exchange and just check his post history, I bet he never even read the response.

Have you considered connecting to a remote node? That's what I did and it less than an hour to sync. You lose a little privacy - not much - but it's still secure.
Yeah I did that before with the "pre-beta" GUI version that was posted about a month or two ago... worked fine, but for this "real final" release I want to try and use it as it's intended, i.e. with the daemon and everything...
Anyway, it's up to 314276/1145819 now... so gettin' there... slow and steady LOL
I also recommend running a remote node. I run a $5 Digitial Ocean server because I don't have the personal bandwidth or disk space on my mac. Even with that, it takes a while for the GUI to sync when you import a wallet from the electrum style key.
