The pain was getting too painful. I had to step away for a while. Wasn't expecting to see this when I came back. Dare I cautious optimism?

Pain? I must have missed that part. I did buy some yesterday. I promised that when it went up I would sell and lock in profit. Well it went up today and I didn't sell. I fall for that trick every time

I did however contribute today to the future work of moneromoo. Inside scoop, there will very shortly be a funding proposal for development of i2p, the kovri project. So TrueCryptonaire and N-rG you will have another chance to help insure the success of the coin you believe in.
I have proposed that the mining rewards were used in funding development but nobody agrees with it. Now you guys are begging money from me...

Now and in the past scrooge mc duck. I guess you will continue to let others contribute to help insure the success of the coin you "believe" in and just sit back and reap the benefits.

Make it a question. It's a good one.
It has been a question that has been discussed by the community quite a while ago, the result of which is the current system we have. Here is the latest request that I mentioned would be coming. It is a very important piece for the vision of Monero and anonimal is very good.

Buying at these prices as I did 2 days ago raises my buy average significantly more than donating Moneroj. The results you get are ofc dependent of your specific situation so YMMV.
