I have my doubts about the prospects of monero as I’ve been reading lots of unflattering things concerning their devs’ team.
I’ve no idea if it’s true but part of it sounded pretty convincing to me.


Woah, really? You have been reading a lot of unflattering things? I better sell based on your unsubstantiated remarks.

Damn, you make a convincing argument.

Hey look an entire page of content-free one-line posts starting in Feb-March just like the other sock puppet troll accounts:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/user/rinndaranaur-242219

Also, you guys really need a new script. This whole pattern of

Quote
unflattering to offensive attack lacking in any evidence

Quote
I have no idea if it is true but ...

is getting old.

Lol, the Monero Github is basically dead. Check out Boolberry to see what a coin that actually has active developers looks like. Seems like Monero is mainly hype. The only thing it has going for it is the name, which is admittedly better than Bytecoin or Boolberry. But a name won't get you anywhere if your devs slack off, like they seem to be doing.

BR what exactly is your goal in all your trolling ?

I haven't bothered reading all the back and forth but you're clearly not friendly to Monero yet won't shut up about it. Why? Seems like every post you made has been responded to thoroughly

Go away other-coin-bagholder, we're not coming to annoy you with crap in your threads, can you please do the same?

Why the coins name was changed? Devs wanted to clean the reputation? Was there an objective reason?

Several of the stakeholders felt the new name was a better marketing vehicle and in addition the old name had been heavily cyber squatted. Two votes were held first on IRC and second on this forum. Both votes were in favor of the change.

When did the coin name change?

It was launched on April 18, 2014. IMO we can call this currency a youngster in comparison with Bitcoin.

IMO the main drawback of Monero is their team because they often complain about other coins’ faults instead of making their own coin better.

I've never complained about any other coin's faults except one post ages ago in response to AlexGR. Your post is baseless - please link me to these posts where the core team is complaining about other coins' faults.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2751e8/psa_dont_fall_for_darkcoins_deceiving_marketing 16 comments from you complaining about Darkcoin. Do you want those to be quoted here? (/user/fluffyponyza)

You are trolling every Darkcoin and Boolberry mentions on Coindesk and everywhere else too.

Your last Monero commit was copying Zoidberg's tx_pool handling and submitting it as a pull request on Monero, over a month ago https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/41

Try to represent Monero with more dignity. As it stands right now, you are a sore thumb sticking out everywhere.

i only invested in bitcoin before i stumbled about monero. it's the first coin to offer own benefits, in this case proven, unbreakable anonymity without relying on centralized structures - and at the same time beeing distributed in a normal fashion (no ninja-/premining). 99.9% of the other coins fail to achive the last, while the rest is building upon workarounds to mimic anonymity. so i took 10% of my btc and got me some xrm Wink lets see, if the better protocol wins in this fud-war or if the mayority of users decides to go for an unsafe, centralized coin (nope, i can't imagine that a premined coin will get any atention beyond lunatics, no serious investor will put money into it, only some "i want to get rich, quick!" guys from this forums)

Monero has been the first alt-coin that I have choosen to keep in 2014.  Many coins do have nice features and implementations, but if they fail to get the basics down then they lose momentum.  If you can't even develop a basic GUI wallet  for your coin you're not going to add noobs.  I think Monero has momentum right now, where it goes in 1 month remains to be seen.

It cannot be said enough times that beside delivering superior tech for anonimity, being able to buy stuff with the coin is key. We need ideally hidden services, hiden stuff in i2p, so you can buy some special stuff there, that you cannot find anywhere else. Make it the go-to deep web coin is I think the big market for this.

Definately true, but Monero is still very young and before being able to buy stuff with it the coin and development definately needs to mature for a while.

Bitcoin merchant adoption has also been non existant in the early days and is increasing exponentially in the last couple years.

When Monero is being used by more and more users in the (near) future and if the market has decided that it's the #1 anonymous coin it will definately get attention from hidden services, Silk Road #258 etc Smiley

For now the average Joe buying/selling stuff in hidden services/dark markets has a hard time understanding/buying Bitcoin, let alone something like Monero in it's current state.

Can someone explain to me why Monero is better than XC?  Or what the differences are briefly...

I've researched XC a lot but don't know much about am Monero

I can't really comment in detail since I'm not an expert on XC. I won't comment on anything related to how well XC delivers on its promises or whether those promises (if delivered) offer real value to users. I just don't know

However, I do understand that fundamentally XC anonymity is based on a version of the masternode concept (in some ways similar to DRK,l but again I don't know the details), while Monero anonymity technologies are not. Monero uses cryptographic ring signatures to perform mixing without relying on any third party nodes at all.

Another difference is that XC uses a PoW/PoS hybrid, while Monero is pure PoW.

This may be helpful, at least in so far as it compares CoinJoin- and CoinSwap-style mixing with alternatives such as Monero (cryptonote) and Zerocash: http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/29471/is-there-any-true-anonymous-cryptocurrencies




xc is different from drk in the fact that any wallet can be a node so it's completely decentralised rather than semi.  I'd recommend checking them out.  The website explains it better than I can.  Looking very promising as already has bounty out to crack anonymity has encrypted messaging working perfectly and some new devs have joined aswell as a marketing guy who's worked  for Microsoft and addidas.

I'll deffo keep an eye on Monero though.  Thanks for info.  It's hard to follow more than a couple coins I find.
