I don´t mind you investigating, when there is a flaw it needs to be fixed... if its a flaw.

But what i mind is that i do not understand that you call Monero a scam... but are perfectly fine about Dash´s shady past ( which we don´t need to get into because all has been said plenty of times )

Not calling Monero a scam, because I have zero evidence that it is.  OP is speculation and I am biased like I said.  Just sharing the info with my tinfoil hat on.

Most coins have something shady in their past.  Dash beginnings are probably the most investigated, I checked it out and decided to invest, that's it really, everyone make their own decision.

It's going to be too hard for me to add any value on anything here, kind of looks just like Dash supporter attacking Monero which wasn't the intention.



Problem is that it's all speculation as you said. None of what's in the OP about pumping and so on has any basis in fact. I can very well say Gavin Anderson was a CIA agent like so many have been doing in the Bitcoin Discussion section, but that's all "speculation"(Aka nonsense).

So yes, this thread looks like 100% trolling.

It's reply-bait. The only purpose of this thread is so the words 'Investigate Monero' can be perpetually alive in the altcoin section, thus subtly insinuating that it's some kind of scam. The actual dialogue is meaningless.

totally not my intention, probably bad idea to start this

Code:
#	Source	  Pair   	Volume (24h)	Price		Volume (%)
1 Poloniex  XMR/BTC $ 19,109 $ 0.452966 83.06 %
2 HitBTC  XMR/BTC $ 2,442 $ 0.457652 10.61 %
3 Bittrex  XMR/BTC $ 675 $ 0.449139 2.93 %

As someone who dislike both Monero and Dash, I think this might be worrying for some considering Polo is entirely dependent on FinCEN. And then there's the very slim possibility of Polo getting hacked, either way it's centralization in a way.

Some of you might know me from investigating the Mintpal V2 scam after losing BTC there.

Also some of you know me from lots of confrontations with core Monero supporters / devs on various threads with my Dash investor hat on, which I recently moved most of my alts into.

So I am not the person to be unbiased / neutral when discussing Monero - it's one of several competitors to my main investment so this gives me a conflict of interest when criticizing it.

That being said I just want to share this in case there is more to it and someone else wants to look into it and without wanting to slander Monero because this is just pure speculation.

(note, I started putting reference in but can't be bothered, if you want for something below then ask)

UPDATE 4th June: Security issues found with MyMonero.com sending the private key to the server in a cookie for some users, as per the posts starting here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11529538

-------------------------------

A lot of Monero users use (and get recommended to use) MyMonero.com, their web wallet ran by lead dev Fluffypony, instead of the official wallet client - because the wallet client has no GUI and a lot of technical / usability issues (e.g. just today here and here)

So Fluffypony can technically access distribution / what funds are moving around for all MyMonero wallets which could give him leading info on the market and pumps / dumps etc, whilst no-one else can (being a Cryptonote coin you can't see anything on the blockchain like distribution).

On it's own this might be innocent / incompetent in terms of centralizing / deanonimizing Monero users and transactions whilst simultaneously claiming your coin is the most anonymous and decentrazlied coin.

But then we find out that Fluffypony has done this before in trying to setup the same type of site for Vertcoin (Vertpay.com) and raising $200,000 to develop that from VTC users.  And that he is also working on Paybee.com, another payment site.

Next thing is that 95% of XMR volume is through one exchange, meaning open-season on price-manipulation, and bigger profits from anyone with leading info on what users are doing - and this has been the case for 1 year already, still no other exchanges

So just connecting the dots but what if it's no accident that Monero wallet is dysfunctional after one year (crippled?) and so most wallets are on MyMonero.com and under the sole visibility of the core team, that all volume is still on Poloniex giving whales their a single place to manipulate after one year, that the GUI wasn't added even now Cryptonote has made an open source one so most people go to MyMonero.com, and all on the "most secure and untraceable coin".

Plus we know that Monero did launch a crippled miner with things like useless loops inserted to slow the mining down, although we don't know if this was innocently copied in from Bytecoin or not.  

Potentially, are we are looking at a coin *setup* as a scam here, with various parts crippled to make sure the core team are the only ones with access to the key 'behind the scenes' market information and are also actually big investors / traders, that all trade is through Poloniex, and then they go around accusing everyone else of being a scam whilst scamming XMR volume behind the scenes?

Maybe Cryptnote is a prime target for this kind of stuff because everything is hidden - in such an environment, MyMonero / Poloniex owners can go wild if they make use of the info that no one else can have....

I'm sure a lot of the Fluffypony fans will be outraged at this suggestion.  And I could be totally wrong.  But if your argument is "I know Fluffy wouldn't do that" then lol because you should no in crypto now anything like this can and does happen, regularly..

No offence to Monero investors here....if i'm totally wrong then sorry for suggesting.  And this isn't to help Dash in any way, that coin is strong enough on it's own without needing any trolling and i'm probably the only Dash supporter bothering about the Monero trolling and that's because i'm new probably - I was investigating Mintpal before I went Dash and i'm good at it so that's where i'm coming from and I learnt a lot about Monero recently.

anyway...let the roasting commence.

[BTW - if you are a Dash supporter, please don't post here to bash Monero as you will be biased; I am not here for anything to do with Dash]
