Polo has been screwed up for many hours.  XMR deposits disabled.  I made a deposit before polo disabled them, polo shows it stuck at 7 confirmations.  It must have dozens by now.
When I went on the trollbox to ask for help, one of the mods threatened to ban me.
And yes, of course I opened a ticket.

polo notice board says down for several hours while wallet re-syncs.

Is there any news why XMR is going very high? This has come as a surprise for me because I have missed it in the news. Maybe this is a pump and dump?

They're called troll-boxes for a reason.  I find the best thing to do with it is shut it off....I really don't need the thoughts and declarations of some teenage stoner.

Wouldn't be surprised if Monero is the next Bitcoin. I just bought quite a bit. I have never been really been a Monero Supporter until now.

So what's next? Is this grow for real?
It's too big (in my eyes) for a pump, people continue to buy, there were some good news too...
Or is this the real start for a grow to a (deserved?) 2-3 figures price?



Get a light wallet that connects to a public node, it may work.

http://moneroblocks.info/ do the trick.

MoneroAddress is just as safe if you download it from Github and verify it. It has a better UI, hence more people use it. You can follow this guide:

Also, it was made by MoneroMooo, who is Monero's top (code) contributor.

just wait for the news "about a currency that is better and faster compared to bitcoin" being used in dark markets that is untraceable and gives anonymity to its users.

panic will ensue and XMR will enter a new ALL TIME HIGH.

Can we get Wikileaks and Snowden to accept XMR?

Let's pose as outraged Chuck Schumer constituents in a moral panic over Alphabay, demanding Something Be Done.

With luck he'll hold a press conference blasting Monero, and aaww-way we go (to the MOON)!
