What does Veeky Forums think of monero

Might replace Bitcoin. Demand will surge, look at the supply. Will hit 1k usd sooner than most think.

Holding bags from a couple days ago. Bought at the top like a retard, waiting for it to test new highs in a few days so i can unlock my btc and go back to trading. ;-;

paid your taxes yet? Hope you did, IRS has tools to trace BTC

>I just don't get why would I ever need anonymous untracable transfer.
I just don't get why you wouldn't
It's not about being anonymous, it's about not being public and traceable like every other crypto

BTC is shit, traced by US go as we speak. Monero will gain large portions of the market.

can anyone explain how it works with a base ID and payment ID? I am just looking in bittrex and have never seen a currency that does this... Can anyone help me get started?

>not valuing anonymity
>not wanting your transactions hidden from big businesses that want to market to you at every waking moment
>not realizing the police state we are living in and just how bad things will be for privacy in the future if things continue the way they are.

its probably a bongcuck

they thrive on big government splitting them open with their thick arab cocks.

Great coin. Main con is scalability issue.
Until it's solved (efficiently), it won't replace BTC or any top 5 coin.

I mean look at bitcoin's block size debacle. Mixer transactions in Bitcoin take up a lot of space in the blocks. If these security conscious people switched to Monero their transactions would no longer be larger than average because they wouldn't have to take extra steps to achieve (better) privacy so the block chain size wouldn't actually be 20x.

Bitcoin is the same, but it can do some tricks (pruning spent outputs) Monero cannot, and Monero also doesn't suffer from some stuff Bitcoin does (UTXO in RAM. Monero has only TXO and keeps everything in ultra-high-performance LMDB and not in RAM). The only wall Bitcoin hit is the political one and not technological.
We have plenty of headroom with current conditions. Before we hit the ceiling (if ever) we can expect some other solutions like LN to help ease things for certain use cases.

I think the scalability issue with Monero is largely a meme though, isn't it? It already has adjustable block sizes.

>The only wall Bitcoin hit is the political one and not technological.
wrong

bitcoin is unusable due to high fees and slow transaction times.

catchy name

Let’s not derail this into another BTC vs BCH thread…

Bitcoin's development governance has suffered a coup which appears to have been staged by the legacy financial industry, all for the low price of $78M. Whether it is successfully resolved in the long run remains to be seen, but either way monero devs would do well to learn from it, and guard against such action

bought in like a sucker at ath at 126 euro. holding bags is tough

Love it, waiting for a dip to sub $110 and I'm going to throw 20% of my portfolio in there.

I never mentioned bch you fucking cultist

I have no plans on attempting to use either of those legacy cia coins

when will monero see some real growth? has been around $100 for 3 months now

Wait for automation to make more people to lose their job. They'll resort to illegal activitys. In order for them to make money transactions, they'll use the most anonymous coin, which is Monero. Profit.

I'm suspicious of this coin solely because I rarely ever see people criticize it.

Wait till cianiggers start destroying asses at a high pace from illegal activities on the BTC network

This... it’s the only coin that gets compliments from most of the people I talk to about crypto.

feel the same way, which is why i made the thread... could it be, dare i say, legit?

because it's actually a good coin?

xmr is a better store of value than btc.

i like the idea of it and the name. fell partly in love with it. i think monero has a great future ahead and will stick around for a long time. Possible it goes to 1000,- USD+ in a few years. But i mainly like the tech approach behind it, e.g this ring signature and total privacy thing. Its nice. If you really need untraceable shit you should go with Monero, its (analogy!) like the TOR of cryptos.

There's bunch of criticism and papers against monero. The thing is though that this criticism is actually takend productively and the issues are being fixed, unlike some other coins.

what's the criticism? is it fixable even if they're working on it?

Fiat to monero where?

Bad version of Zcash no thanks.

> ZentralizedCash
:D !!!

For example the recent monerolink thing (even though the issue itself has been known for years) reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/65dj7u/an_empirical_analysis_of_linkability_in_the/dg9jup5/ which related technical change discussion is hold at github.com/monero-project/monero/issues/1673

You can also read monero's own research papers at getmonero.org/resources/research-lab/ which describe potential problems in monero.

All development meething logs are open at getmonero.org/blog/tags/dev diaries.html which often refer to issues in other coins and how to deal with them in monero.

NSACash lmao

It's a good coin for a medium term hold. Not longterm, though. When regulation comes to crypto privacy coins are going to be gutted. Muh terrorists and muh kiddie porn are scary enough to normies that any vehicle that could conceivably used for dark and scary black market activity will have regulators and three-letter agencies foaming at the mouth and out for blood. You've got a good year, year and half maybe to make some profits on this, though.

How can you regulate decentralized coin -__-.

Zcash still better though

It's not the coin that will be regulated, it's the exchanges that trade it. Decentralized exchanges may be able to keep the coin alive, but once it's forced out of mainstream, regulatory-compliant exchanges it'll become a lot harder to turn into goods or fiat. Its use and value as a currency depends on its liquidity, which regulation will destroy.

lmao faggot

Decentralized markets :).

Zcash still better version of Monero.

Luckily I'm from central Europe and nobody gives a shit over here.

Decentralized markets won't protect the value of privacy coins. It will still be easier and safer to use a transparent crypto for legal transactions on decentralized markets, and illegal transactions on any scale large enough to support the value of privacy coins will bring the wrath of god down on them.

...which would be absolutely trivial to solve if not for the (((small blocker))) lies which have deceived retarded "just hodl and get rich XD" redditors.

We need small blocks, goyim! Big blocks would prevent people from running a node on a Raspberry Pi! (See how much we care about decentralization?) Just hodl your nice shiny Bitcoin until the Lightning Network is ready! Remember to never use it anywhere, as that would be a spam transaction! And in the meantime, enjoy these Facebook-tier hodl/moon/rollercoaster memes! (((We)))'re all going to get rich!

dude it just raced from $85 to $130 in a few days.

Ordinary cash can be and is used for those things today.

Total piece of shit IMO. Fuck Monero.

Remember kids: The claimed "decentralization" from BTC vs BCH is just the supposedly reduced costs of running a node. Costs which are trivial to non-existent, especially when considering the cost of a single BTC transaction.

It's quite a silly notion. People run nodes to confirm their own transactions and not be reliant on others. But if they're paying to run a node then they presumably HAVE transactions to confirm in the first place! And if they have even one transaction a month then it's cheaper to use the Bitcoin Cash network with a node.

Obsolete in a year

I like how private it is. But its so fucking slow and expensive to do transactions. They need to fix these problems before I get in.

Monero transactions generally take 5 mins or less, the fees are dynamically calculated and get cheaper as number of transactions per block increase. You can also have much cheaper fee by decreasing priority of your transaction at the cost of longer transaction time.

It's a coin that retarded plebs just won't understand. These retards will keep repeating the same shitty arguments about gubmint bans, etc.

You're replying to a verge/zcash shill. He won't know or care about your explanation

>Zcash
>devs take 20% of the coins
>trusted setup

nah fuck off

Literally the only fungible coin, miles ahead of everything else.

Yeah, who needs cash right?

You mean like cash?

>ZCash over Zencash

lol why

Monero will be the Bitcoin killer

>Hurr muh regulations

Monero is good but suffers from blockchain bloat and suffers from long scanning.

Literally every coin suffers from that.

Bloat more or less but with Monero it's extreme, the scanning also takes fucking ages thanks to RingCT. They better make a quicker verification method in the future.

Nah, that's fud. Monero has adaptive block size and most of the data is dropped after verification. E.g. ETH's blockchain is much larger than Monero's.

Zcash? ohhhh that corporate shitcoin that took down alphabay, yeah nobody in their right mind is touching that with a 20 foot pole.

last time I sent Monero ( which was last week ) it arrived in about 2 minutes.

it will surge higher very soon, a lot of exciting stuff happening for monero in the next couple of months, don't sell this coin before the inevitable 1k USD moon mission

It's one of the few crypto-coins that is actually trying to be used as a currency and not some gimmick and that's why I have faith in it and plan on holding long term.

this. Also holding long term.
I just accumulate and hold.
Don't sell before 2019

same here, I think we'll see 500-1k in the next 2 years

Unfortunately if youre too dumb to realize zcash is ztrash, ur too dumb to figure out pic related

XMR for lyfe

Monero is god-tier. How else can I be an effective criminal in 2017/2018?

Work for the government.
