Previous thread >>29430368

Welcome to the Monero General, dedicated to the discussion of the world's leading decentralized p2p privacy cryptocurrency!

Monero is secure, low-fee, and borderless, meaning users can send XMR around the globe despite corrupt governments or broken financial systems. Innovative privacy features such as Ring Signatures, Stealth Addresses, and Ring CT (hidden tx amounts) ensure that Monero's blockchain is obfuscated -- the financial history of all Monero users is encrypted from the prying eyes of adversaries on a public blockchain, with transactions being visible only by a Monero user willingly providing a view key for a specific transaction.

Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptos. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of txs increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX establishes that anybody with a CPU can participate in mining, preventing the ASIC miner domination that creates a high barrier of entry. Lastly, the mining network will be preserved by Tail Emission -- instead of the block reward falling to zero like with Bitcoin, the block reward will gradually approach 0.6 XMR in May 2022, where it will forever stay. This constant linear inflation means the inflation rate will asymptotically go to zero while continuing to provide an incentive to miners to maintain the network.

If you still have questions, feel free to ask and a MoneroChad will be with you shortly.

Lol what a shitcoin, while other coins get a 10% correction XMR gets a 50% skydive. No one believes it'll go up. This whole thread is just a cope.
This is just me being objective, you can say "b-but it's the only one you can use as currency..." No one cares, no one buying crypto right now is doing it to buy stuff or do smart contracts, EVERYONE who's in the market is only in it to make money. You guys are autists for not realizing this.

It's not that the market is "wrong", it's that there's nothing to be "wrong" about. The market is not a mechanism to reward the best product, it's a mechanism to reward the people who read the market the best.

Cope, you know you wish it went up. You know there's something deeply wrong with a coin when it's the ONLY major coin missing the bull run.
All of these nerds saying "The long run", "The technology", are just completely deflecting the criticism.

Don't get me wrong I do have money on it, but if Monero keeps missing bull runs like this, it WILL go to #30 market cap, then #40, then #50... Until it stabilizes as a #120 shitcoin that never goes up and people have given up on.
Despite wide adoption on the dark net, Monero is still just the 22nd market cap. Think about it. Despite being in actual use, there are 21 shitcoins who perform better than it, and no one has a good answer why.

>>29451509

Also, this is because it is in actual use. Because it's widely used on the darknet, there is zero need to hype Monero. This bull run is driven by hype, though, and it means that Monero has not been caught up in the bull run like the rest of the shitcoins which work purely on hype.

Fine, I'll engage in your deflection.
Yes, I'm confident holding ETH, BTC, LINK and even complete shit stuff like LBRY even more so than I'm confident holding XMR.
Some of those because of the technology, and some of those because there are big players with interest in keeping the price high, so I trust that they'll succeed on it.

The tech being good is only a very minor part of what makes a coin increase in price, the main driver is "Do people believe that the price will go up?"
People call the market "irrational", but they're the ones being autistic by not realizing it. Instead of crying because of DOGE, adapt to the reality that this is the market, the things that matter are not the tech, they're other things, and XMR DOESN'T HAVE THEM.

>>29452150
No. You can see the block reward for each block, just sum it up.
"Emission" on https://localmonero.co/blocks it does it automatically. That's how many coins are in circulation currently, 17,846,609.

Whoever told you this was probably talking about an old bug in cryptonode. https://www.getmonero.org/2017/05/17/disclosure-of-a-major-bug-in-cryptonote-based-currencies.html

>>29452576
Hm...
Can you elaborate on that? Why would it be bad to have speculation on XMR? It's just people believing that the price will go up and buying it because of it, no harm is done.

>>29452847
>Because it's widely used on the darknet, there is zero need to hype Monero.
There IS need to hype it if you want your coin to be used for stuff other than buying CP.
It's common sense that if you want your coin to be used, you need good tech AND marketing.
Also you can't explain why it's going down of all things, you can only explain why it's not going up. It going down means people are ok selling it at a loss, means people don't have faith on the coin. And probably rightfully so, honestly.

Don't count Monero out just yet. I can tell you exactly why Monero is going to pump hard as hell in the next few years:

Governments are in bad fiscal shape and are going to start harvesting the inflationary crops they've sown in assets like stock and real estate. Look out for discussions around federal property taxes, capital gains taxes (maybe even unrealized), wealth taxes etc. Governments know exactly where are the inflation has gone, even as they carefully constructed CPI in order to to hide it.

The capital owning class has done extremely well thanks to central banks in last few decades, but the bill is coming due. Monero is one of the best available tools for evading capital controls when the feds start getting grabby. Lots of people with lots of money are going to be scrambling for the exits very soon, Monero will likely be their escape tunnel out of fiat, and personally, I intend to front-run the shit out of them.

I don't think they move as much money offshore so much these days, for 2 reasons. One is that is has been getting harder and harder to do, for example the US has already cracked down on a lot of the older techniques for hiding money like swiss bank accounts. Obama turned the screws on them to finally close that one. The second is that it really hasn't been necessary anyway, since their gains haven't faced much taxation, so they've felt pretty safe letting their money sit in US stocks and real estate since their taxes have been so low for so long.

If that changes there'll be tremendous pressure to get out, and they'll have to find new escape routes. Privacy cryptos are the most likely candidate.

No one knows but my opinion is that it's extremely likely to happen eventually, because XMR doesn't follow on BTC's speculation for some reason. You could have something like XMR at $200 and BTC at $60k very easily for example, that would be 0.00333 XMR/BTC.

I'm not touching ETH, seems far to boated and high priced for a utility token. LINK might be ok as it can work with any other smart contract, don't know enough about it to justify holding any.
XMR is cash, BTC might be gold, ETH/LINK are something else. Nothing wrong with holding coins with different markets, but obviously some xmr holder disagree (as they believe crypto must be cash, otherwise it's a scam)

>So you envision a world when you can buy food and clothes with XMR?
Yes. I think is is likely that 10 years down the road crypto breaches the early adpter threshold, ie. 15% of the population (in developed contries) has crypto and is comfortable using it for purchases. Then it will make business sense to accept crypto payments in brick and mortar stores. Streetfood might be the first to adopt it, than cafes and other places that attract young-ish people. Once it is somewhat prooven for practical use supermarkets will join because theire profit margins are extremly tight (like 1-2% or so) and even if just 10% of customers pay with crypto the supermarket gets an easy 0.1-0.2% points better margin, an improvement of about 10%.
The one thing I don't know is if it will be monero or just some centralized shitcoin.

>>29460231
>And the government is just gonna stand around and do nothing about it?
Monero has the prisinors dilemma on it's side. "Doing something about monero" would require good cooporation between all relevant contries which I consider highly unlikely.

>>29460231
>Yeah but that's my point [...]public opinion is the only thing that matters.
For the price right now? Sure. For what the crypto space will look like 5 years down? I don't think most cryptos will be still standing - but I'm certain that monero holder and developers will not give up easily. The network is build to be as resilient as possibel and not to give up easily. This is where the value lies, which is unfortunatly invisible to most casual "investors" during good times.

>but if you want widespread adoption

Widespread adoption would be nice but its not essential. As has been mentioned here hundreds of times already, analysts expect most of Monero's future growth to stem from black money influxes i.e. organized crime adoption, not institutional capital or normie adoption.

Globally, organized crime generates $2 trillion annually, Monero only needs a $184 billion market cap to be worth $10K. And we're already seeing major crime syndicates moving into crypto.....

>$1m in cash seized as man arrested over alleged money laundering via cryptocurrency
>February 22, 2021 — 5.58pm

“Police will allege in court the man directed a criminal syndicate to launder money by converting cash into bitcoin on his behalf, totalling $5,479,300,” police said in a statement on Monday.

Detective Superintendent Matt Craft said the group allegedly operates as money launderers for hire and he anticipates further arrests over the next four weeks.

https://www.baka.com.au/national/nsw/1m-in-cash-seized-as-man-arrested-over-alleged-money-laundering-via-cryptocurrency-20210222-p574sb.html

So Bitcoin is still easier for them to use for now but all this kind of stuff will inevitably end up in Monero's corner, just like the darknet black markets.

I dont want to dump on XMR. Its my favorite alt. But people need to realize the market here is still absolutely dominated by BTC and what BTC does. A tiny fart of BTC's marketcap in Monero's direction will cause it to skyrocket.

I do think we might be entering alt time like 2017 again. And when that happens I will be dumping into XMR. Of all alts I think it has the most potential in another alt season. Not sure. Basically all alts are at all time lows vs BTC. And BTC's getting clogged up just like it did last time.

Or BTC could continue dumping. Or continue rising lmao and XMR will go into the .002 range.

These madman literally want everybody to report all crypto transactions over 1000 Eurobucks.

I believe this will sooner or later cause a big run to anonymity. I believe most small people/traders only didn't care about covering their trail since there was not such widespread use of tracking tools in the past and no specific laws targeting them.
Now that they are in a kind of direct breach of law they will look for active ways to avoid appearing on the radar.

What does everyone think about the Edge wallet (on Android) vs Cake Wallet (Android) vs potentially any other desktop or mobile wallet that is open source AND has exchange features/acts as a multiwallet etc?

Stuff like Exodus , Feather , Kraken if I recall are proprietary but seem to act as multiwallets for stuff besides XMR and BTC, solutions to cash out into fiat etc. How does Cakewallet do with this? How about Edge?

I started with Edge because it was FOSS and had these features including exchange and the like, but I don't know if its fees are too high or its not advisable. How does it compare? It seems to be right there on the Monero suggested light wallet list on the homepage.

Both Edge and Cake Wallet are pretty solid. Edge supports more coins if you're into that. They also have their own "login/password" master password that encrypts your account on their servers (if you lose those, you lose access to your wallet) but it also neatly provides you options to export private keys for the coins it supports (only tested with monero and bitcoin).
Cake Wallet is a lot simpler and supports only monero and bitcoin which are the coins that actually matter anyway. But if you're into having a bunch of altcoins this can be a negative. I also like that they create and use Electrum-based bitcoin wallet/seed which makes it easy to open the exact same wallet on my Electrum wallet on my laptop. Same thing with the monero wallet/seed.

Thanks. I'm holding my main Monero wallet in MyMonero currently, but I'm trying to figure out the least expensive ways to get exchanging for altcoins and other crypto, as well as both "fiat > crypto " and "crypto > fiat" out with the minimal amount of fees and necessity to transfer from wallet to wallet. I think Monero has great utility and value as an actual currency and its privacy features, but it is kind of frustrating that all the "big stuff" seems to happen with other coins like ETH, BTC on one end or the "random DeFi bullshit that costs a fuckload of ETH Gas" on the other. Likewise, I'm also trying to decide if I should essentially mine Monero (on like only a couple of GPUs and CPUs part time) or mine the most profitable things (I hear it tends to be ETH) and then just exchange for Monero as needbe etc.

Also, anyone want to weigh in on the dip currently and how long it will be before it goes back up above $250 again? I really should have set up some sort of "sell" option at that point but I'm not sure the best way to do that and if I should sell into another crypto or fiat.

Use the CLI if you like terminals, and the GUI otherwise.

Maybe I’m just overly paranoid about hot wallets; do you keep them in an encrypted partition or something? I’m worried about just having my keys sitting on my hard drive.

My strategy right now is mining Monero on CPUs and Ethereum on GPUs since that's maximum profit for my hardware types.

Anything short of a government goon squad with automatic rifles is not going to set one foot inside my house without my consent. At that point rubber hose cryptography is the weak point, not what algorithm I use on my hard drives.

Similar question, are we still on a downward trend? Looking to buy some more and hoping I can get it under 200

I should mention I transferred a small amount of my profits to Edge as a "hot wallet" and used its in-wallet exchange setup, but I'm not sure if its worthwhile or not - the fees or rates on exchange and on fiat buy/sell options etc. Its nice to have it all there on an open source wallet however.

I did something monumentally stupid though not realizing that the big name stablecoins were fucking ERC20 tokens so I shifted some of those profits (ie I took some change I had in Monero worth about $150 at the time and moved it into Edge, then swapped it in app to Doge at 3c and got it out around 7c on the bounce so I had like $300-ish.) Stupidly decided to hold before Doge went down again into Tether the largest marketcap stablecoin, where now it sits in Edge because I don't know the amount of ETH necessary to get it out etc). I'm wondering if using Edge's functions for this stuff is better or worse than using a separate wallet and something like Bisq or other exchanges etc.

I think so yeah. Maybe it will hit 150. Then again it already hit -50% so a bit doubtfull.

If just Monero is banned, probably a tumble but not a full out collapse since people could still anonymously swap BTC for it and it would stll be useful for most use cases.

If ALL crypto is banned, everyone gets hit really hard, Monero weathers the hit much better than everyone else.

Yeah, i feel like as a community we should take steps guaranteeing at least monero stays safe from any sort of regulation. Promoting decentralized wallet, making sure the currency remains de centralized that type of stuuf.

Not an advocate for a wealth tax but the Netherlands has something similar to it. You owe the state 2% of your capital every year.

I know some people might freak out with this comment but if you're trading consistently you're better having liquidity readily available directly on exchanges. Use wallets to store for the long term or if you intend to use in day to day life instead of trading.
