Qora will have a true AE in a week or two, maybe less. But I don't see any major move in the price. I don't believe in short term hype but I don't even see the hype when it comes to Qora which was before the coins that have been hyped recetly like Bitshares.

I am not the smartest, but....
I think
anonymous coins are a fad
fads only last a while, and then they go away
A reason why this fad may fade, is because the real world financial sector
may begin to embrace non-anonymous coins, while rejecting anonymous coins,
and comes along with large amounts of investment dollars,
that anonymous coins miss out on,
and investors in anonymous coins then sell, and go looking to invest into coins that
are being invested into by the real world financial persons.
Anonymous coins would then be a smaller niche, than the larger categories that
the real world financial sector might invest into.
( they won't likely want to be associated in any way at all with criminal or black market )

Multi-national corporations are among the very first in line to adopt a technology that prevents their competitors, the government, and external auditors from observing their accounts on the blockchain. The criminal or black market is a drop in the ocean compared to MNCs. They are craving a way to surreptitiously move funds between continents to tax havens in a way that does not require huge forex hedges.
That having been said, I can fully agree with your last point about association - MNCs will want to use something that does not sound like they're inherently doing something illegal. They're unlikely to have line items in their quarterly income statement that contain the words "dark", "teleport", "stealth", or "cloak" unless the corporation in question is DARPA:-P

it is actually unique. i'm pretty sure BTCD is winning
August 24, 2014, 11:06:58 AM
I'm pretty sure BitcoinDark has won. Blows away any other anon tech and the price is rising steadily in anticipation.
Okay I'm not sure if this is worse or the people spreading FUD about Monero or DRK.BitcoinDark will never succeed, it's wrong in so many levels. I don't even wanna look at it's anonymity, and I'm positive that it doesn't blow away the one from DRK nor Monero. BitcoinDark is just an attempt at stealing some fame from Bitcoin and from Darkcoin.
Stop stealing, make something unique for once.

In my opnion anonymity coin always a joke.Most people will never use anonymity and for now none of altcoin have a perfect anonymity function
Like no one uses CASH to pay, ahh right.
Maybe not in UK but here in germany its still a preferred payment method - we learned a shitload after east germany was occupied by Russia and the Stasi was spying on everything and everyone.
I guess some people also have to learn it the hard way.

Anonymity war is not over. Some coins are just few month old. so will last some time to at least basicly develop. But truth is some coins got some advantage already.
The need for anonymity coins will be here as long humanity will last.

Asset arms? Lol, op is stupid, anonymity isnt some trivial feature, its perhaps the Only feature that matters the most. But shhhh, we want the prices low while we accumulate.
Agreed. Single most important thing for a crypto coin. It will make it possible for people to do things like silk road and not get caught. That's worth billions.

Until all this tech is closed source, and until people stop tossing money at it the coin du jour, the onslaught will continue.
Maybe it's not about the coins at all. Maybe it's all about the tech, and the learning that is going on. The fact that Satoshi's coin is being cloned isn't what is interesting to me any more. What's interesting now is that Satoshi is cloning himself. The number of people who are innovating in this space is growing exponentially and I don't think we have good idea yet exactly what this means 1, 5, 10 years from now.
Soon Wall Street will try to pick a winner to serve their own purposes, and banks will buy in. Anonymity will never be part of the Wall Street anointed coin.
Truly, I don't see an end to this. I see it ramping.

I don't quite see the point in discussing facts. That's like discussing if or if not there's the law of gravity.
There is no discussion, I've asked you to present a single fact. You have yet to present a fact. You're presenting an opinion.
Are you in denial right now to protect your Monero investment? Monero is inferior, it's a fact.
Again - not a fact. A fact is something indisputable as it is either directly observable or provable. For example, I could say "TaunGawk's opinion is irrelevant because it is clearly a sockpuppet account that was created a mere 4 hours ago." That is a fact, verifiable by observing your profile page coupled with the nonsense you're posting.

How will NEM make all altcoins obsolete? Saying it as a statement of fact, without presenting any evidence to support it, is silly. You can say "in my opinion" or "I believe" if you want to spew unverifiable nonsense.

This just in: carrots debunked as inferior to oranges! Also, where did this "debunking" take place?

There is the New Economy Movement that is on the way to make all altcoins including Monero obsolete. Mastercoin was an IPO stunt.

Why do you guys go for Monero advertisement here all the way? It was debunked as inferior to Bitcoin earlier.

Imho monero wins the anonymity race. But why do we need so many different asset coins ? Is mastercoin not enough ?

Anonymity is being underrated here. Watch Monero boom once emission dries up
August 24, 2014, 04:55:52 AM
If it wasn't for NEM and REDD then in all honesty I wouldn't even be following alternates. The alternate section is either full of $hitcoins (reskinned BTC) or all these coins engaging in anonymity or asset arm races where nobody wins.
Isn't NEM an 'asset coin' too just like NXT trying to imitate exactly the same idea to get a share of the pie?
please explain, thanks. also what makes REDD great? are these better than the rest?
LOL dude i am pretty sure u missed the sarcasm of the original poster. NEM and REDD are pure idea rip-off junks thats all
~CfA~
