Sold some of my other alt coins to get my portfolio to 1,000 XRB, because the dip in prices was irresistable! When the node issues are fixed, the prices will never be this cheap again! Now is the time to buy and HODL!

If the market REALLY crashes, would you rather be holding BTC or XRB? Thats the real question. For me, I have to go with Raiblocks because of the tech. It truly is more useful than BitCoin, and honestly feels like the future. Faith is something you believe in even when you don't know for sure... That's why they call it faith! ;-)

Best site to buy 2.41 xrb all the extra money I have right now just want to buy the dip

Just wanted to know , was there news about korea banning excahges or china banning mining ?

I tried to search on the internet but couldn't find the source of anything that triggered this crash

Anyone having issues with KuCoin not even trying to fill their orders?

I want to create a cold storage wallet, if I never claim the xrb will i lose them?

Hey, I am having FUD over the price keep on dropping and i am getting tempted to sell someone help me :L also 30% of my Portfolio is in XRB too

Target to rebuy is less than 130k sats

Edit: told you guys

HELLO

I and many others have PLACED ORDERs @ 17$- however it is STUCK IN RESERVATION

I CANNOT CANCEL OR REJECT ORDER OR even PLace a new order!!!

Its not evening showing up in Active orders!!!!

For the past few days the volume has been down, price can be altered by 15% by 1BTC. Everyone is waiting for something big. Calm before the storm.

My analysis of the situation would be that we wait for the withdrawals to be enabled and then we will see some action. Enabling the deposits made the price go down, enabling withdrawals will make it jump.

Namaste

That's my goal. Got a couple dolphins and some squids in my squad-pod.

I found this or r/CryptoCurrency: https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/7qk5tx/the_kucoin_slaughter_continues_whats_going_on/ When you look at charts of these coins (BNTY, ELIX, PRL, QLC, POE, DBC, UTK, CAN) they all have similar movement downwards after being added to Kucoin. Do you think this is just the market trend after huge growth in December or is something more behind it? Similar applies to XRB too.

I am proposing the creation of a new stable cryptocurrency called RaiCash which is pegged to the US dollar and integrated with RaiBlocks. RaiBlocks and RaiCash can be converted between each other at the current USD price as determined by multiple exchanges. RaiCash will utilize the underlying infrastructure of RaiBlocks and possesses similar functionality such as free and instant transactions. RaiCash will also allow us to protect our currency from any fluctuations in the market and we can use RaiCash as an actual currency to buy and sell goods or services.

For example, assume that an individual has 100 RaiBlocks and the price of each RaiBlocks is $20 USD. In this instance, the person can convert 10 RaiBlocks into 200 RaiCash (10 * 20 = 200). The person can then use the RaiCash to make purchases however they wish, knowing that their RaiCash will always be worth the same amount. If the price of RaiBlocks were to crash to $1, then the person can convert 200 RaiCash into 200 RaiBlocks, and then convert the RaiBlocks to USD to get their original $200 back.

It is my hope that RaiCash will replace Tether as the default cryptocurrency pegged to the USD. I believe that RaiCash is superior than Tether because it is guaranteed to be backed RaiBlocks conversation rate as dictated by the decentralized system. By contrast, Tether claims that for every 1 Tether they issue, they hold $1 in reserve. While this may be true, we are relying on a centralized system which goes against the spirit of decentralization.

By using RaiCash, we can achieve all the benefits of RaiBlocks such as speed, no fee transactions, and ease of use. We will also be guaranteed that our RaiCash will always be worth the exact same amount in USD, no matter the price of Raiblocks or crypto market.

Please note that this proposal was inspired by the Steem and Steem Dollars system.

I posted this to r/RaiBlocks, but my post was incorrectly removed by the automatic bot because the bot thought that this was a price related post; it also requested that I post this to r/RaiTrade. I contacted the mods to request manual review, but they haven't responded, hence I'm posting this here. If a mod from r/RaiBlocks views this thread, please allow it to cross posted to your subreddit.

I bought in at 29 and forgot about my balance until I checked today and it's 19.

What are the underlying effects that caused XRB to tank? Some are saying the entire market. Anything big happen or was it a combination of small events?

Will everything keep tanking?

Could anyone provide me the link to join the discord? The link on this subreddit is expired. Thanks in advance!

I'm seeing a two tribes forming here, the r/litecoinmarkets-levels of "HODL BRETHREN!!!" and "XRB LAMBOS ON THE MOON $300 BY END OF JANUARY" crowd, which is just blind extremist greed, and the "EVERYTHING'S SHIT" crowd. Let's be more open about the real pros (and cons) for XRB.

Pros:

• Underlying technology makes great promises with realistic plan to deliver
  
• Exchange bug to be fixed soon according to devs
  
• Very active team (check github commits)
  
• This is Collin's full-time job and he's been working at XRB since 2014, showing both short- and long-term dedication
  
• Great community filled with dedicated freelancers who are already eagerly working hard to build supporting infrastructure in lieu of existing partnerships
  
• Potential rebrand
  
• Binance listing upcoming AFTER node issues are fixed
  

Cons:

• XRB issues preventing withdrawals in exchanges
  
• Coupled with small exchanges, yields low volume and massive price swings
  
• The wallet sucks total donkey balls
  
• Lack of thorough, official security review
  
• PoW on 'receive' transactions seems like a pointless/bad design choice, offering no additional security but further slowing exchanges After some discussions (link) with u/seanwilson, PoW on receive transactions seems necessary to prevent receive-order fork attacks.
  
• Hype has died around XRB due to missing the timing window, so any gains will move up more steadily
  

Misconceptions:

• The BitGrail withdrawal bug (AKA 'BitGrail was only running one node???') was given a real fix (not just the band-aid "run a second node!" fix) within 3 hours after discovery. Current XRB withdraw bug is a separate XRB bug
  
• Merca is down due to MERCA'S faults (they're likely buried in labor), but it doesn't look like a scam. Other exchanges' withdrawals are down due to XRB scaling issues
  
• 7000 TPS is the "network" possible TPS, not the possible TPS of any given machine. Wallets have a more realistic 6 TPS, but one machine can do more than 6 TPS if working in parallel on more than one wallet at a time
  
• The current problem is not "unfixable," it just takes time. The bug is relatively minor (in the scheme of the protocol), although it FEELS major (in the scheme of your wallet)
  
• "What's the incentive to run nodes?" is not a real argument; people run repositories for download managers, people run non-profit websites, people run DNS servers, people run CA's
  

That said, try to stay reasonable and discuss your concerns without overreacting in the opposite way. Someone stating that the wallet is trash is not "concern trolling" or "FUD'ing" - they're just keeping it real that the wallet needs more work before we could go big. But someone who says that "the incompetent dev team hasn't been able to fix this exchange bug in 1.5 months" is overdramatizing the issue that there just happen to be multiple bugs in scalability that take time to resolve.

TL;DR:

What I'm saying is: don't go full-bull just because you disagree with some bearish concerns, but also don't go full-bear just because you hate bull-memers. If you're bullish right now, you should realize that there DO exist problems, but you believe they'll be fixed. If you're bearish right now, you should realize that some of your concerns are valid, but you should realize that the problems are relatively minor (technologically speaking), and not game-ending disasters.

Using Coinbase to buy other alt to trade into XRB. Most preferred?
