I am all for contrarian viewpoints. But I just added the above chart magician to my ignore list. His one trick has gotten old.

Hah, welcome to the club. Tongue

What actually happened to Monero in the last two or three weeks ? The price fell by more than 20 percent. I do not think anyone expected this.

The rise was exchange hackers converting NEM to Monero and now we are back to levels where we were when they started.

Also probably fear that more exchanges might start banning Monero.

Nice FUD, More??? Please point out just one.

Your trolling Fud will only fool morons, it is obviouse you are looking to get cheap coins.

We are not fooled by your soft troll here, go back to your shitcoin scams.

Thoughts about COINCHECK dropping privacy coins? What does your guts feel, will other exchanges follow suit?

Is there any institutional entity in the U.S. (like SEC, etc.) that could pressure U.S. exchanges to remove coins whose movements are untraceable and blockchains unreadable? If yes, what would the legal supporting arguments be, and what lawful and unlawful means could they utilize?

I can see a constitutional wall they must break before they can break one's right to privacy and one's right to run the software one wishes.

A while ago when BTC was thought to be anonymous it was the boogeyman... Now privacy coins are the target. But isn´t this the whole point? Financial freedom and struggle for individual privacy that brought us here?

That used to be the case largely but now it's mostly just for the money.

Don't just blame XMV for attacking Monero, blame Monero for having a critical vulnerability. It's as much a social exploit as a technical one. The technical one makes the social attack possible in the first place. FIX THE PROTOCOL!

Hard to see how this could be done on a protocol level.

I offered a solution here https://forum.getmonero.org/6/ideas/90040/full-solution-to-ring-signature-partner-reuse-on-fork-chain Unfortunately it's being ignored by all the devs. Maybe they don't check the forum. Not sure. It would have been nice if a developer could have alteast commented on it. But w/e. I assure you that it is not an insoluble problem. This is the key.

The idea is to alter the ring signature partner selection algorithm such that it is functionally random to any outside observer but deterministically derived from factors that both the main chain and fork chain would have in common.

They will answer you if you drop into #monero-Dev channel on freenode and drop that link. Actually, I'll do it for you right now.
