Re: [XMR] Monero Speculation

Upcoming Bulletproof update should definitely make some excitement. Many will say it is already priced in, but i cant be really. There will be publicity about it and that publicity will be exactly about what is best in Monero.

This was exactly what I was discussing in another channel. A lot of people come and talk about better privacy coins and start comparing stuff to Monero, then they realize actually Monero is in constant development and catching up very quickly in some of the tech,,, just that they were not aware about it until they learnt. Monero has this thing that it makes headlines very well without marketing, because the adopters are happy to share.

And definitely,,, none of this is priced in until the spikes happen!

That, or it's already priced in cos there are no spikes happening... Think about it. Bulletproofs is already public knowledge.

It may be public knowledge but the major impact this upgrade will have is probably hard to quantify until put into practice.
People need to experience bulletproofs and talk about it to fully understand. Honestly, I fall into this category.

Don't get me wrong, I go back and forth on this. It may not even be a blip on the radar come Oct. 18th.

We had quite a long discusion on it when it was bring pushed to be included before proper vetting and that is probally why we have not been discusing it as much right now.

It is a HUGE improvement and should effect the entire Eco system as nodes can be run in many more locations now. Synch times with such a large chain have been an issue for alot of people and although I havn;t tried it on a rasberry , I doun't doubt it can be a hair pulling experience on a poor connection.

Speaking of which @Jwintern, did you ever get the node running on that Orange?
