Funny how what was supposed to be a joke threafs ended up with actual content Smiley

Also funny how this thread that has now evolved into a new discussion of Monero grew out of a complaint about Monero having too many threads. Streisand effect at its best.

The Bitcoin API is fundamentally broken - it assumes that the daemon (that syncs up to the network) and the wallet are the same thing.

There is more to it than that. The only way to use the Bitcoin API is if the coin is almost identical to Bitcoin itself, which is why 99% of the hundreds of worthless pump-and-dump altcoin clones use the Bitcoin API.

A coin that actually does anything fundamentally new or differently compared to Bitcoin (which is certainly the case for Monero) will need to have a different API.

If anything "uses the Bitcoin API" is a strong clue that you are looking at a worthless clone coin.

There was a lot of similar hyping of dogecoin as it crumbled.

And that's what statements like that say to me - the coin is crumbling so you are trying to hype up momentum.

It may have worked in the past but its old tactic now, and has the opposite of the desired effect.

Yopu should not invest in an asset without ample reading first. Then you will make your own opinion.

Yes, I had no opinion of Monero before but now my opinion is that if I want to use it, now's not the right time because it appears that there is a social engineering attempt taking place to boost confidence in it.

You're being disingenuous - a statement of fact is NOT the same as hyping or a social engineering attack. Like I said, do your research, talk to Gregory Maxwell (Bitcoin core developer) or Risto Pietila (a large Bitcoin holder) and let's touch base in 6 months.

A) Please demonstrate

B) If A can be done, Please explain why it is a problem

Otherwise it is just FUD

Hrrrrrmm. My point is clear and obvious: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_Calls_list - a daemon that syncs up to a p2p network should have no concept of "balance",and should thus not be able to "getbalance". Seriously, this is not FUD, and the fact that you don't know that the Bitcoin core team is working on this as a matter of importance is quite shocking. Have you seriously never used any of Bitcoin Core's RPC calls? These are extremely basic concept we're discussing here.

You won't be able to use it as Bitcoin for buying product anytime soon, that's for sure.

For the social engineering part, well. We chose a plan and stick with it. The highlights are: weekly update and high signal-to-noise ratio. The rest is market being the market. As usual avoid buying when the price rises.

The reason there are "looooots" of Monero topics is because there is intense interest from those that are knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies,

not compatible with bitcoin api. Unless it wants to form its own niche isolated community - go for it.

Adoption will be for the minority and hence will die. Be realistic.

And yes number of threads is stupid. Keep all your shit inside a single ANN thread like everyone else.

I heard Monero devs are spammers who are creating many threads to cover up some funny businesss. Is it true?



i seen one guy in here mention how he created over 60 accounts to "Like" his coins he posts here..

i find it doubtful he was the only one doing it out of around 340,000 user accounts here.

if you believe pretty much anything here your a gullible idiot soon to be broke lol

edit:
i have not seen as many topics compared to the NXT or NEM spammers though.. they are waaay worse i think.

edit2:
i looked at first couple pages and i see what you mean now.. they have LOOOOOOOTS of monero topics lol
so.. it's on my avoid list LOL

smooth is one of the core team members, he was being sarcastic.

The reason there are "looooots" of Monero topics is because there is intense interest from those that are knowledgeable about cryptocurrencies, as well as those who were early Bitcoin holders. It would likely be in your best interest to investigate why this keen interest exists (and the subsequent threads) before "avoiding" it.

The Bitcoin API is fundamentally broken - it assumes that the daemon (that syncs up to the network) and the wallet are the same thing. Monero has complete separation of concerns, which means you can run multiple wallets on the same physical computer, and we can have a CLI wallet (simplewallet) and a wallet for automation (rpcwallet) as separate binaries. In this respect alone, Monero has a superior architecture to Bitcoin's, although this is something that Bitcoin is hoping to do in Bitcoin Core at some stage.

Over and above that, the Bitcoin API assumes that you have a single wallet with multiple addresses, and all the RPC calls are designed to check addresses and so on. This is fundamentally at odds with Monero, as you don't have multiple addresses (it uses stealth addresses, effectively) and have to track payments using a payment ID. This means that sending funds is similarly different.

At any rate, I fully agree with drawingthesun - merchant systems will adapt to accommodate the Monero RPC API, just as major altcoin exchanges have done so.

Bitcoin API?

Funny how Dell.com added Bitcoin even though Bitcoin wasn't compatible with the VISA API. Is it possible merchants will add Monero if the demand is eventually there to make more money, or in your world view, they will go without because it doesn't fit into a limited set of technical specifications?

Also Monero is larger than the scamcoins, and thus needs more threads.

In fact it would probably be easier to rename the alt coin section "Monero" and put an end to all the scams.

will fade away like everything else, the price is already high, no room to grow, and i don't like the name...

The name is awesome, I love it.

The price is peanuts for what you're getting, a truly anonymous currency that may easily be the silver to Bitcoin's gold.

Room to grow, the technology has huge room to grow, the price has huge room to grow.

Thanks for the laugh Amph.
