ETC is only a scamcoin if you think the original Ethereum ICO was a scam or something (not debating that). It's the original Ethereum blockchain without the insider bailout. Less of a scamcoin than ETH, not more, imo.

ETC is immutable so I dont have a problem with that    

They are still really close right now. I definitely dont see any real competition thought between monero and ethereum classic. Both of them are definitely fighting against fiat, btc, and eth.

There could be more downside risk to XMR/BTC at Polo. If you take a look at the daily chart the StochRSI oscillator is headed down but not in oversold range yet. Possible double bottom set up at .0155. On the other hand price has stabilized at the 50% level from most recent swing low to swing high. Monero is working fine, fees are down after the recent hard fork, traders just need some more time to digest and dismiss the recent FUD.

ho hum.  $20 yesterday, $20 today, and $20 tomorrow.  You'e just looking at BTCUSD upside-down, yo.

Why would or should they develop anything themselves? It is just the original ETH chain without the bailout. Not having a bailout doesn't require a whole new and separate development effort.

So yes, in that sense I would say it is as scammy as the original ETH. Since it is the original ETH.

Heyhey,

hope you all are hodling well. Lets discuss some fundamental price-driving factors again.
My eyes bleed from technical analysis bullshit (yet to see a rich technical analyst)..

- What are the tx-fees on Monero right now?
- How is the Darknet adoption?
- Are there any hardware-wallets coming in?
- Any progress on scaling?
- Any progress on bitcoin-compatible RPC API?
- How many Monero did the referee get from Real Madrid?

Anyone?

This is far best website with Monero information's, you see there also fees cost and also compared with bitcoin. https://www.monero.how/
You can never know what traders pay with but speculation is that on alphabay  99% is used BTC and 1% is used Monero. It goes par with transactions on Monero and Bitcoin blockchain. 100 vs 1 ( you can again check on website I provide).

About hardware valets is best to ask companies that makes them When they will fell they can make a nice profit they will for sure jump in.

As I know and I am no PRO, Monero can scale no matter on how much transactions happen as long as changes are not sudden.  Where progress will be needed is to reduce blockchain growth. I am sure everyone is aware of it, but is not some super priority since no one expect that Monero will reach par with bitcoin transactions in a year.

From a TA perspective, as this would seem to be the most reasonable move, i guess we won't even get under .016. And if so, you'll need some quick sticky fingers. No advice, just an idea. 

Correct. The "Low" setting, with fees of 1/4 of default, incurs a higher risk that the transaction may be delayed or even dropped.

However, presently the transaction volume is low enough that even Low fee transactions fit in blocks easily enough. So it is okay to use "Low" for now, and pay much lower fees. In the future you may want to be more careful if the transaction is urgent.
