What I can say is that the future of Monero is very bright. It seems many do not realize what we have here. It is nothing but amazing. It is freedom incarnate.

The US is increasing its ability to detect its citizens' funds abroad through FACTA. European countries, justified by a few crooks 'hiding' money in Swiss 'banks', are similarly stepping up their abuse of power in their quest to seize your property through excessive taxation which is slowly burying the continent in a state-sponsored plot to replace its indigenous population with a 2nd wave of monotheists, this one just as violent and dangerous as the previous one.

Terrible days are ahead, but Monero I think will stand out as one of the crucial tools of financial freedom. Forget about next week. Look 20 years ahead. Where would you rather have your money? In your state endorsed bank, or a cryptographically secured and anonymous network?

Monero is one of very few crypto currencies that fits the "De-Centralized Virtual Currencies" definition of FinCEN https://www.fincen.gov/statutes_regs/guidance/html/FIN-2013-G001.html This means the currency itself is not at risk of non compliance because there is no "single administrator" that is required to register as an MSB. Many alt-coins have this risk which has for the most part been ignored. A good example of the consequences is of course Ripple. Here is an article describing what may be in store on the enforcement side. http://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=4dea5c6a-110a-4949-a5dd-a82c034210b1

My guess is some time in 2016.

When it is ready it will be released. Would you rush Picasso to finish a painting if he were alive today?

A roadmap isn't a timeline.

Seems unlikely. I have argued before that this is not really a rumour-news event, because no one really knows the date of the new release. I would agree with you if there was a set date for the upcoming release.

One little remark, this is crypto, so you could be right.

EDIT: Also, we had that little spike last week one huge volume. It could very well be that those buyers dumped later because the "spike" lost momentum.

It's Shen Noether's (NobleSir) work, so you should credit him.

Yes seems so to bolded.

Happy Winter Solstice everybody

This reminds me to restart my 0.8.8.6 node since, unlike my other Monero instances, it has crashed again.
