Topic: Monero ICO (Read 4506 times)
this is just too ridiculous....some random troll pops out putting monero and ICO in the same sentence, with the faulty and made up premise that "Monero has flopped" and now people are actually discussing this like it were some kind of possibility?
I am just a random person interested in Monero but even I can tell with certainty this is NEVER GONNA HAPPEN!

I think now that Monero has flopped they could consider relaunching the network with an ICO
I mean like LISK and etc is doing, just use an existing project (in Monero's case Monero, in Lisk's case Crypti), and relaunch it with an ICO to work on the unfinished product.
That means Monero devs can attract a lot of funds and then finally finish the GUI etc
what say you, folks?

It should be voted by stakes holders so they can make the ICO a successful one,people are quick to think that the dev just want more money from the community so they need to set up a poll to see if the community will agree on this one..
They don't need an ICO, perhaps they just need one or two capable developers.
With an ICO they can get not only two but four or five developer and a very active gui and more funds for marketing this coin so it's best in my opinion to proceed with the ICO but with community voting..

What he means is: I wish the price of Monero would be ridiculously pumped by some sort of mechanism. He has noticed that ICOs pump the prices of new coins very high, ergo Monero should also have an ICO.
Yes it is studid and makes no sense, but the price should be pumped somehow!

Your analysis is completely wrong.
Why would they do so ? Especially for a coin which is already launched. If they do so, they would really be at the bottom.

Are you talking about a Swap with an ICO?
Actually I mean just like LISK is doing now. Close the old project (Crypti), offer some bonus for Crypti holders in the ICO. Reopen with the same code, edit/revise/finish it with the help of the ICO funds.
Monero can close the old chain and issue the ICO. Old Monero holders can exchange their coins for the new Monero.
This way Monero devs can revive Monero, and gain the funds necessary to finish the GUI and other important stuff that's been neglected.

The presumption that throwing money or people at technical problems misses that bigger or more isn't always better--especially with complex programs that hinge on separate parts working seamlessly together. Or maybe a million monkeys could actually write Hamlet.
Though it seems pretty unlikely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infinite_monkey_theorem

I've signed up on BCT on September 04, 2014
That explains lot. A bit early but still roughly within the same timeframe as many of the IOTA and Waves ICO shill accounts

Does anyone else find it curious that nearly all the accounts posting in support of IOTA and that expressed interest on the IOTA crowdsale thread were created at the same time, shortly after the Nxt launch, and many of them show the same long period of inactivity from 2014 until IOTA ?
It's pretty clear what is going on here, and pretty much the same thing that has been going on for years, although I can't really blame you guys nor your employer, since it still seems to work to some extent (investors are dumb).
Are you unemployed?
~CfA~
have you ever used bytecoin?
No --- and I personally don't quite care about anon coins in general.
The only real deal are the CryptoNote devs --- unlike Monero devs, who're posting on BCT all day and don't get anything done
Granted, there are also interesting coins that are built on CryptoNote, ie. DigitalNote. Monero is just so far behind. IMHO it's not noteworthy.
It is curious that you seem to know so much about Monero, Cryptonote, etc. (not really) yet you claim to not care about anon coins and there is no evidence of you ever paying attention to one.
My guess, you are a sock puppet part of an organized (likely paid or affiliated) crew who promote certain coins (Waves, darkdigitalducknote, etc.) and attack others (Monero).

smooth, that's extremely paranoid. I've signed up on BCT on September 04, 2014 and have been reading ever since. That's plenty of time to hear about Monero, Bytecoin, Cryptonote etc. Besides, I've never claimed to know a lot about any of these coins or the cryptonote protocol.
It's interesting to me that you've been mentioning paid accounts numerous times. Is there any platform / secret list where one can get paid for promoting particular coins? Is Monero involved in something like this? I've never heard of anyone being paid for disagreeing with the notion that Monero is a noteworthy cryptocurrency. It's just my personal opinion.

Do they have a database implementation or is the blockchain entirely in memory?
i'm seriously curious because I don't want to run the software to find out.
No it doesn't, they are using the old cryptonote block swapping code.
The market disagrees.
Even Litecoin has a market cap of $ 182,089,281.
The market is the market. The software is the software.
The bytecoin devs ruined their own product with an instamine that destroys untracability, so maybe you should rethink your opinion. As you said, "No --- and I personally don't quite care about anon coins in general." --it shows.
I support Bytecoin just as much as I support Monero.

I don't know, I haven't used it. You could just wait for the Monero devs to copy/paste if you don't want to run other software.
