Monero's main competition at this point is probably Dash, ZCash and now Bytecoin.

All three of those have doubled or tripled quadruped or gone up 1000% in a week.  Monero has actually doubled in USD terms in the last month or so, which is usually astounding and impressive, but just seems like major underperforming in the current market environment.

It has been very frustrating to hold XMR, but up 100% in a few weeks is better than losing money.  So have mixed feelings about it and I just don't know why there isn't better marketing for XMR and why the website is primitive and unattractive. 

Anyway maybe it will catch fire eventually, although I'm not holding my breath.

How fast is Dwolla?

got to love dr evil

this thread is kind of an example why btc is not great as currency

i like a wallet that doesn't take up a lot of space on your hard drive.  online wallets are more dangerous but they ahve the advantage of your btc being there if you need to sell quickly. If you want to hold through ups and downs, then offline wallet is better.

i've got a long way until i can say good bye but maybe later today

litecoin seems to trade pretty much like btc.  It doesn't seem to have any personality of its own. Hopefully it will get a boost when it is on mtgox soon but we'll see.
