The ICO is happening right now, actually!  Simply navigate your browser to Poloniex.com or Bittrex and purchase some of the ICO tokens on the open BTC/XMR market!  You too can get in on the next big thing.  Grin

EXACTLY.

I don't think people understand the concept of a 4 year ICO that uses conventional market tools.

4 years and no GUI, nice one! Does Monero have anything, I mean like, at all (other than the bytecoin copy/paste I mean)?

No it has fuck all.  It is a currency for obese pedophiles

Find out how much monero I have. Please.

And then post your bitcoin address so I can track you.

Yes that functionality is copy/pasted from Bytecoin.

I asked what Monero has to offer.

Only cryptonote with lmdb, and creator of lmdb is now regularly contributing to project. Mnemonic seeds for deterministic wallet creation. Confidential ring transactions are in process of being implemented. Probably some other stuff I am forgetting off the top of my head.

Oh right.

have you ever used bytecoin?

Whats their solution to mixin 0 cascading? Are they implimenting confidential transactions? whats their approach to counter IP address reveal? How do they address their blockchain being premined and therefore crippling the whole functionality of ring signatures?

Unless you believe whatsisfaces theory that they premined out of the goodness of their heart because they understood the weaknesses of their tech and therefore burned all that premine.

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?

Are you talking about a Swap with an ICO?   Huh

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.

 Cool


Sounds like a good idea it could bring Monero to a new greater height but if ever they are going to do that they should be very transparent and they also need the consensus of the community..

here is Dashcoin, which Evan Duffield tried to buy and close, only to have the project switch repos and continue.

Yeah, what a success story



it is a success since DSH Dashcoin is still a pain your asses you darkcoiners  Grin

Very good idea! This way Monero can attract real users!

I heard Monero only has about 50-100 active users at the moment? Is this really the case?

You may be referring to my recent analysis of node count, but nodes are not a good measure of active users. Does every bitcoin user run a node? No.

Should they? Thats a different question Smiley

And for what its worth, one interpretation of how things have played out is that the ICO is going on RIGHT NOW. Its been going on for 2 years, and it has about another 2 years until you could consider the ICO phase over. But who knows what the markets will do.

monerICO

ICO are already a dirty word ... come fall ICO will be a stinkin dirty filthy word Wink

---
the point is most of the ICOs are vaporware products;
bleeding edge tech; unfinished junk;
the future of the 'smart 2.0' genre is going to be alot like the 'anon' boondoggle
(and yes Monero stands as the most legitimate in the field after the dust has settled)
((yet it too is still 'unfinished' beta))

mean while outside the crypto babble;
the general public will still favor: BTC, LTC, DOGE, and products that are identical to them say UNO Wink
this will go on for years before they even attempt to understand some of the more exotic flavors.

You're missing the the point: It couldn't be shut down like Crypti, just because the developer(s) wanted to cash in.

(BTW, while it's obviously a small coin and mocking or bullying it based on size is pretty pathetic, its value is higher than it was before the shutdown attempt.)

Actually I mean just like LISK is doing now.

Monero is doing fine, near peak market cap after two years (a peer group you can count on one hand easily), good liquidity, etc. Just as it has outlasted countless temporariy-hot ICO, etc. projects that allegedly had better ways to pay for development, it will likely outlast LISK as well.

Furthermore, unlike projects such as Crypti, no one could "close the project" even if they wanted to. You would have to convince literally 100% of the developers and community members -- something that isn't ever going to happen -- otherwise the project would continue. A good example here is Dashcoin, which Evan Duffield tried to buy and close, only to have the project switch repos and continue.

I would guess these two observations are not unrelated. A good test as to whether a supposedly decentralized cryptocurrency is worth giving any attention at all is to consider whether it would be plausible for someone to close it down.

You know you're trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist? You can follow the progress with the following links:

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.
