[XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency

[Johnny Mnemonic]

What's the point of using a platform like Coinbase if your privacy is sacrificed to the government?

The point is that Monero would be more accessible. Sure, Coinbase and the government would know you bought Monero. But nobody but you would know what you do with it after that.

Also, just because Monero gives you the ability to transact privately doesn't mean every transaction has to be super secret hush hush. It's money. You can be as public or private with your money as you wish.

If Amazon.com announced they were accepting Monero, no doubt some people would scream "oh no, that's not private!"

So what? It's money.

Hey, I'm newish to all this and wanted some advice from someone more knowledgable than me.

I installed the Monero GUI wallet and chose an external drive to store the blockchain (as I have a small HD on my laptop) ... I started to suck GBs from my local drive however and so I had to quit the app to stop it eating all my space completely.

But now I would like to know where the big file is and how I can delete it, does anyone know? I would really like to run a node (for the sake of Monero and for me) but unless I can't run it using an external drive, then this isn't going to work for me and I'll to continue to use myMonero.com

Thanks for your help.

Guys... is it just *me* or am I wrong to sense we're getting "attacked" around the InterWebs more lately?

Anti-Monero trolls and/or butt-hurts coming at us more and more...??

Must mean good ol' HoneyPony's been doin' something right lately, eh?  LOL

Had to jump on the xmr train with the dump could see this being a nice year for Xmr

[ACAB]

Not selling http://mone.ro/

I just think it's funny

Nice. Why dont you sell it?

I'm not that guy on the webpage. Othe said he talked to him and he's just some Romanian guy that has owned that domain for like ten years, and for some reason just keeps only a picture of himself posted on there.

Oh. I got it now. well. Thats a cool domain. Im sure he can get a few btc for it if he tried.

Sorry for interrupting, but here is the path:

.bitmonero folder is hidden by default

Thank you, Andretti83, I shall get on with searching how to show those files. Thanks to both of you! I am surprised that CleanMyMac software didn't find it.

Found out how to do it here: http://ianlunn.co.uk/articles/quickly-showhide-hidden-files-mac-os-x-mavericks/ - amazing, there's all sorts of shit in there! : )

Can I just move this folder .Bitmonero to my USB drive and it will carry on doing its thing from there? That's what I originally wanted...

Yes, you can move .bitmonero to usb drive and monero gui would use it from there.
Just to be sure, here is guide on how to change blockchain path in gui.

Is this what your community stands for these days ? Making moderated hate threads in the Altcoin Discussion section ?

https://asktom.cf/index.php?topic=1740313.0


This thread and some of the posts in there clearly violate law in many countries as it incites hate and violence.
As i understand cryptohunter is one of your community members so i suggest you guys take some action before things get out of hand.

Mmmmhhh, nope. You can read, i suppose, so please read the comment of cryptohunter again, then think again with a cup of tea and after that you are free to edit your post and apologize

Crosspost:

Brian Armstrong, Coinbase CEO, on meeting with Fluffypony:

Awesome talk by by Riccardo Spagni from @monerocurrency at @coinbase HQ today. Impressed with Monero. @fluffyponyza Talk will be online soon

https://twitter.com/brian_armstrong/status/817452522767937536

It is interesting, coinbase may have interests in adding monero? If this is true, xmr will go no.3, just ranks after btc and eth

Very nice at coinbase --> that would be a nice pick

HoneyPony's already been at #3 off-and-on in all the recent frenzy but, yeah, back at ol' reliable #5 at the moment.

Pretty certain it'll be back in place soon enough though.  Patience.

Around these parts, a lot of us hangin' around here already take #3 more-or-less as a given: we've got our eye on the Number 2 spot more in medium-term.

And -- believe it or not -- some of the crazies around here (even me sometimes LOL) seriously consider Numero Uno long-term.
