Tether: The Story So Far

So is there any kind of market in Agama or any other exchange for the REVS tokens?    If so, what kind of market price are they currently trading at?

XMR joining the party and up almost 10%.  I'm glad I added 15% more to my holdings yesterday.

If you buy XMR with BTC, you get about 12% more than you would have gotten yesterday.   Yet XMR USD price is only down about 1%.  I just converted a bit more BTC to XMR, but going to stop for now.

I know not smart to buy on weakness, but I added some more XMR today.  It allowed me to take some profits on BTC, and I still feel that XMR will be pulled up by BTC eventually, most likely.

XMR is definitely lagging lately, although it has still had a great year.  But last time BTC was this high, it was about $140 and now just $87.   I'm  tempted to buy some more and probably would on the BTC $5K break.

Ok thanks and you are correct that I should have read the last few pages of the thread, before I asked that question.  My bad there.  

But thank you for the response and I entered my BTCD public key address and saw the REVS from that and then entered my KMD public key address and those are listed as well.

I still don't understand how to access them, but I suppose I won't need to figure that out until I get into the Iguana wallet or a Windows wallet is released down the line.

I see my KMD on the blockchain but where do we see our REV?   Is the REV tied to a KMD address or does it have its own blockchain, etc?

And I received some REV from the BTCD on KMD, but also should have additional REV from the BTCD snapshot, so how would I access that?  I have the private key for the BTCD address.

Meanwhile, here is what you can see on some other block explorers and monitors:
https://www.blocktrail.com/BTC/: 65k unconfirmed transactions, 112 MB mempool
https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/:  89k unconfirmed transactions, 104 MB mempool
https://bitcoinfees.github.io/: 124 MB mempool size
http://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/transactions/: 137k unconfirmed transactions
http://munin.bitcoin-fr.io/bitcoin-fr.io/n.bitcoin-fr.io/index.html: 134k unconfirmed transactions, 116 MB mempool

The problem is that the bitcoin network and protocol is not designed to be capable of "ignoring" spam.  So you can ignore it all you want but bitcoin is being hurt by it right now.

"The number of backlogged transactions is currently above 90,000 and climbing, and the size of the “memory pool,” the database that stores them, is shooting past 150MB. It usually sits below 10. On the Bitcointalk forum, where much of today’s action is going down, users are reporting that their Bitcoin clients are crashing when they try to collect the coins."

There hasn't been a spam attack like this in the past and it forces down the price for obvious reasons.

Here is a better view...look at 7 days "Recent Mempool"

Coinwallet changed the strategy for their attack, but it's still working.  This is really bad for bitcoin and for the price.

I think I will sell some of my BTC and buy it back for a lower price after this attack.  We bounced so hard and due for a pullback anyway and once news of this attack spreads, it will force the price down lower.  Might as well sell now and buy back even more BTC afterwards...the safer strategy.

The network will go back to normal eventually...but could take days or weeks with lag in the system.  It is pretty serious situation.  I am going to sell some of my BTC and buy back lower as this is certainly going to hurt the price in the next few days/weeks.  We just had a big rebound and due for a pullback and this will push it off the cliff.

Yes, it will go back to normal "eventually"...but could take days or weeks with lag in the system.  It is pretty serious situation.  I am going to sell some of my BTC and buy back lower as this is certainly going to hurt the price in the next few days/weeks.  We just had a big rebound and due for a pullback and this will push it off the cliff.

Yes he swept mine too and just emailed blockchain about it.  But yes Johoe is a great guy...tough to find those in this world most of the time.

He didn't ask about trading...he asked about finding out what the rates are.   You are making it sound like a shady website. I will stay away.

I have bitWallet on my Iphone and for some reason, there is an option in the program to delete the private key.  I accidentally did that and just wondering if there is any way to restore it and get the bitcoin back out or if it is gone for good.

If you have any ideas, please let me know.  Thanks!
