Hey, question, not sure if its appropriate to ask on this forum or not so if not just disregard no ill will meant..but I have been patiently waiting on a good entry price into xmr..wondering if this is a good time?

Not really the room to ask. If you want to discuss pricing at length suggest asking here: matrix.to/#/#monero-markets:monero.social

Thanks

has a bunch of Bitcoin wallets, and then (bizarrely) DeFi swap tools

no mention of Monero

fluffypony: There was a long drawn out discussion on GitHub over CC maybe 4 years ago? Basically we asked they add Monero and one of the maintainers was concerned that people might think less of ZCash based on order, so I suggested just list in alpha desc and note the sorting method

They opted just to remove the CC section entirely

lame

I think the one protesting also once upon a time pushed some privacy scamcoin, I forget which, I'll try to dig up the conversation because hyc was part of it too

s/one/pt maintainer/

Yeah, found it: privacytools/privacytools.io #256

oh looks like they've pivoted to github.com/privacyguides/privacyguides.org

still no cryptocurrency section

(And also privacytools/privacytools.io #269 )

crypto is a ponzi

nioc: Tether at $70b, what could go wrong?! 😂

Yes, there's a lot of issues I guess w/ that new site around CC, namely referring to cryptocurrency as 'Crypto Tools' as if somehow messengers that encrypt messages at rest and in transit aren't crypto utilizing tools

#CryptoMeansCryptography

actually you'll find that crypto means cryptozoology

fluffypony: That repo seems to be only for privacyguides.org, not privacytools.io going by the repo link/description

xmrscott[m]: yes - privacytools GitHub repo is archived

s/the repo/org

and they've moved to PrivacyGuides

they noted that

Oh derp, I was looking at github activity as new as fresh as 12 days, man, that's a whole mess of .... things

yeah

Why not just have privacytools.io redirect to privacyguides.org sigh

Eh, whatever, I can open up a suggestion for Monero despite privacytools.io being 'archived' I guess if no one else wants to. Crazy that they point towards people using Bitcoin in this day and age despite US Dept of Treasury reports of tracking laundering, etc

yeah it's odd

<xmrscott[m]> "Why not just have privacytools...." <- They split up after some drama, and are now two distinct things

The community forked off to privacyguides, and the founder came back after a 1y+ disappearance to reclaim .io and start that up again

It's a messy thing, but know that they're distinct now

sethsimmons: he's going to have to un-archive the repo, I guess

or just not have it open-source

Anyone have any ideas why this person thinks supply and block size ought to be limited?

To be honest, I can't believe folk like this live in the real world

the tail emision was a thing which i did not like at first, too.

For me what realy made it klick, was the thought that in an growing economy the number of products which can be bought increases and because of that the tail emision will not even be noticed

sorry i have problems formulating this property in english... it is not my native language

AIUI the other thing the tail emission does is allow the dynamic blocksize to work

When I think of bitcoin as anything other than digital cash, it becomes worthless and as digital cash, it doesn't really tick the boxes. My point being, as I cannot empathise with this person and I hoping someone here can and can enlighten me

it's NgU technology

you wouldn't understand sudo_ki[m]

few understand.

Sometimes when people say "Nothing I am going to say is going to make you understand", it is because they themselves don't understand

sudo_ki[m]: a limited supply is necessary for a cryptocurrency to be successful because it powers NgU, as ComplyLast explained, and without NgU nobody will use it

which is why nobody uses the US Dollar today

also you need a limited block size so that you can run a node on a 10 year old Raspberry Pi, instead of a 5 year old laptop

Is there anything on the monero roadmap for NgU tech being added? Is there something that could be gleaned from the BTC codebase???

there are several ideas being discussed crypto_grampy[m]

if Monero is removed from more exchanges then it will be harder to get, which makes it scarce, which in turn leads to NgU

On a more serious note, are there any good i2p tutorials out there?

i2p tutorials for what?

<ComplyLast> "you wouldn't understand sudo_ki..." <- Ah, so I'm stupid, rather than ignorant?

* Ah, so I'm stupid, rather than ignorant? ;)

I wouldn't say that

I'm just saying that few understand.

I'll take a look at this NgU business, thank you :)

you're welcome

as our prophet puts it: price is how we win.

Mind spelling out the acronym?

enn gee you

O dear, I had no idea

yes, it was added on a recent soft-fork

some people missed it

they're debating between doing sigagg and implementing NgU v1

NgU v1 won, but it didn't get a lot of publicity

also we need some guy named Adam Forward as CEO of BlockFlow to implement NgU v2

that was being discussed yesterday on #monero-research-lab

NgU v2 will be deployed on Monero before any other chain

Can’t believe people are still so hyped over surveillance coins

they always will, until they arent anymore

Got to get the Monero before they wake up

<DaveyJones> "also we need some guy named Adam..." <- Don't forget getting the seed money from rothschild controlled banks

<sethsimmons> "The community forked off to..." <- Thanks for the context. Still pretty funny that the .io dev can't be bothered to update the org description to *not* point to privacyguide
