This is a bit ridiculous. I don't like the reptilian (rpietilian), and I wouldn't want to break bread with the icebreaker either, but cmon, Monero is one of, if not the most, solid altcoins out there.
Here is a post by Greg Maxwell saying Monero is the only altcoin he owns:
https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinxt/comments/3vmwtb/what_if_any_incentives_are_there_for_longterm/cxoyxsuWhy? Because, "What monero I own is because it has integrated stealth address like behavior that make it possible for me to have a public donation address without losing privacy..."
Here is a link to a commit on the Monero github repo by Bitcoin Core lead maintainer Wladimir Van Der Laan:
https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/commits?author=laanwjHere is a tweet from Peter Todd saying Monero is "genuine crypto":
https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/622022840330682368So are you saying that Greg Maxwell, Wladimir Van Der Laan, and Peter Todd, all Bitcoin Core developers, are all shills pushing a scam? A bunch of Bitcoin Core developers who apparently hold (to them) trivial amounts of Monero are "shilling" for Monero? Really? Can you name a single other altcoin that more than one Bitcoin Core developer has expressed support for?
gmax and peter todd don't see monero as a threat to bitcoin so that's why they hate on
and fear DASH but push monero.
Proof?
Speak for yourself buddy.
I'm pretty sure Gmax, Ptodd, and Wlad can all speak for themselves.
just look at their (pt,gmax) btc bips and outspokenness on the scaling issue etc.
they want btc to stay decentralized (not happening) and live up to satoshi's dream. they hate centralization (good on them) and all the gimmicky centralized solutions being built on top of btc so that it can scale and have anonymous and instant transaction. unfortunately btc was not built for those type of decentralized solutions like DASH. i'm guess the inability to make darkwallet decentralized is why peter gave up on that project,
amongst other issues. same goes for gmax and his centralized btc based coinjoin solution. DASH solved both of those problems and so much more and so they are butthurt. they both have some good ideas and if they are smart they will come work for DASH and get paid directly from the blockchain

i don't know what Wladimir Van Der Laan fixed with monero's code but peter todd said is had lots of problems and exploits. someone can pull up his quote later but i don't have time. i know monero has been busy cleaning that mess up and why they have not had any time to really do anything of significance with the coin, well that and wasting time trolling other projects (DASH, ethereum etc). hell they can't even come out with an official gui wallet.
None of what you just posted proves any of your claims about those 3 individuals being fearful of Dash.
BTW ...
GUI =/= Development Exclusively.
You can have a nice looking house on the outside/exterior but if the core foundation that house stands on is shit and broken ( ...kinda like Dash is...)...what's the point?
You do not appear to have much of a technical knowledge of software/coding/programming if you equate "GUI" = "SUCCESS".
You've obviously never developed software before on the scale that the Monero devs are.
Also let me debunk your Dash-politically-popular comment about monero supporters "trolling" dash:...
You call it trolling. While I would call it
calling out shadiness behind the entire DASH project and its history so that noobs who dont know any better can make an educated decision on whether they want to support DASH or not.
Not all people who speak out against DASH have a monetary incentive because they are invested in monero heavily. I for one aint invested heavily in monero.
But I stand by the principle if I see a scam, I will call it out for what it is until I'm proven wrong.
Until this date the facts point in the direction that DASH is a scamcoin and was not created for the general good of the crypto eco system.
