Could anybody here tell some facts about ducknote vs. monero?
What are the differences?
1. duckNote smart economy with its Bitcoin alike rewards and minimum block reward - unique. Monero just copied Bytecoin emission logic. duckNote made their own smart economy structure.
2. duckNote block time 4 min - for me it is perfect time. Monero 1 min blocks cause big blockchain size, lots of orphans.
3. duckNote devs made initial block size without penalty = 32kb, they know what they do, since the very beginning.
4. I can say that duckNote launch was fair and surprising. and i don`t know why, but it smells scam when i look at Monero (botnets, viruses, unannounced GPU miners, bag holders - affiliated with Monero ), i don`t like Monero and don`t deal with it.
5. duckNote offers amazing cryptocurrency features with breakthrough marketing, i think duckNote is a new step.
duckNote vs Monero 5:0 this round
1. I don't think you can argue that one emission system is better than another, as long as both are fair. It is widely accepted, among those in the know,
that Monero's emission curve is quite fine.
2. I'm currently seeing less than 0.5% submitted blocks being orphaned across the network. Pick any pool, in fact, and check how many orphaned blocks they have in their most recently mined blocks:

4. As pointed out in 1, it is widely accepted that Moner's launch was fair. There are certainly botnets mining many cryptocurrencies, including Monero, but there is little evidence of it being anything more than the normal result of Monero's organic growth (the same thing happened with Bitcoin and more recently with Litecoin). Monero has had no viruses, only false positives, which is no different to Bitcoin's blockchain that is still flagged as a virus by many antivirus scanners. I fail to see where there have been unannounced GPU miners - when a GPU miner has become available it has been linked in the Bitcointalk OP and spoken about at length. Your bag holders point makes no sense - are you implying that there are people that bought Monero at a certain value and Monero is now worthless? Read the definition of bag holder before using it in a sentence to ensure less confusion. You certainly don't have to like Monero, but outrightly lying is not a very smart tactic. If you're going to say something it's probably better to back it up with a reference or two.
5. Monero offers the same features with no marketing at all, so you've got that going for you:-P
