Clinton has made some missteps but she has also spent her life in public service -- and remember gentlemen (and I really don't want to get into a huge debate on this but the research is there) women are always held to far higher standards than men, so many of her indiscretions would have been forgiven if she were a he.

But I find it very revealing how so many people dismiss Trump as a buffoon and think this somehow makes him benign -- very similar to the way Americans confuse 'brash' with 'honest'.  I first came across trump 30 years ago when he started destroying Scotland with his stupid golf courses -- we Scots hate him for his destruction of our land.  He will be a disaster for the environment for starters.

And all of the evidence (and I've read an awful lot about him over the last six/eight months) suggests he is manipulative, duplicitous and dishonest (as well as being a racist and misogynist who has had links to organised crime).

You Americans may have managed to get yourself two weird candidates for POTUS but you are scaring the hell out of the rest of us with your support for Trump.

If forced to select between a misogynistic, racist, egotistical buffoon and a cunning, evil criminal with a track record of perpetuating American terrorism world wide I will take the buffoon.

What a sad state the US is in that the people are forced to make a choice between these two horrible candidates in the first place. 

I would venture to say that a bit of US political discussion is relevant in this speculation thread since the result of this election could have a fairly significant impact on world markets, US petro dollar status and crypto currency valuation.



My mindset is a wildcard like the buffoon could be real bad or real good. With the criminal, we know what we're getting, and what we're getting is bad. I'm a gambling man- I'll take the buffoon any days of the week.

The other wildcard to ponder is how long before he gets a bullet in head by a "crazed lone gunman" if he really chooses to independently influence policy contrary to what is comfortable for the establishment.  I believe the last US president that tried to do so was Kennedy and we know how that ended.

Hmmm, if that were the case- I don't know how fantastic a Pence presidency would be. His home state hates him, not a real good sign.

In regards to Monero... I'm sure BTC (and therefore XMR) price would skyrocket in such an event.

I think a Trump win in itself will send capital into safe heavens such as PMs and in turn some of that into crypto.

I think that's a safe assumption to make. Even if no faith is actual lost in fiat (which I'm sure will be the reality of the situation), enough believers will use the election as a reason for price increase, which will very likely cause a surge.

Dash rekt like Hillary's campaign!    Cheesy

Rekt like the US will be if Trump is elected.

The election is nothing more than an election of who will be the conductor of a train with a predetermined path.

Ultimately there are inevitable events coming down the road which neither candidate can avoid.

Same goes for the legacy financial system.

Sounds very fatalistic; there are of course choices at every juncture.

Those choices may (or may not) still arrive at the same point but they will determine the time, velocity and weight of that arrival.  For all the Clinton bashing she remains a far better choice of 'train driver' than a thin-skinned sociopath with a junior school understanding of the world and who has no coherent policies other than feathering (or should that be gold-plating) his own nest.

As the British have discovered, voting for dramatic change as a protest against the 'system' is not the wisest of ideas.

Not wanting to get int so called politics: Please do some more research on your preferred candidate. You have choice of clown or evil witch / evil hangers on....

That's why I was asking how we can speed up multisig development, with the goal of achieving implementation parallel with or soon after RingCT.

I will ask a math PhD buddy if he can do the peer review himself, or help find a qualified specialist, then put up a FFS request based on his feedback.

It's quite clear that RingCT *must* be stable before multi-sig can be added on top. Not much you can parallelize in this development effort.

The curious thought is what will be the catalyst for acceptance on other major exchanges from now until then.


Profit motive will be the catalyst for acceptance on other major exchanges.

Other exchanges are letting Polo have a monopoly on all the sweet sweet trading fees it's getting from facilitating ~100% of XMR's multimillion dollar volume.

But it's difficult to compete with Polo's liquidity, lending, and margin trading.  Those are killer features.


EDIT:  I've heard from an impeccable source that Monero's lack of multisig is *THE* constraint on large exchange listings, as their security models (and perhaps contingent insurance policies?) require that functionality.

I suspect a lot of coins pay hefty bribes to get listed on bigger exchanges.  I've heard rumors of bribes up to 100k being asked.

Monero overtaking Dash again.   Cool

Of course XMR is always crushing that scamcoin in terms of volume, despite it being traded on more exchanges.

I speculate the price of Monero will go to the moon when we get traction on major exchanges besides Poloniex.

Given we went to $12/XMR just with the capitalistic power of Poloniex, I'd expect $120-$240 when Monero trades on Coinbase, BitMEX, Kraken, Bitfinex, Gemini, BTC-E, etc.

I wonder how much the general perception that Monero is the Polo coin has to do with lack of major exchange adoption? Apart from more difficult implementation that is
