Maybe because:
-One of PseudoMain dev have lack of Ethics and happily making conflict of interest, commenting other coins on a daily basis Wink
-Only One and unique feature : Anonymity. (George Clooney should ask : "what else?" - A:"Nothing")
-Too many coins generated every day.
-Who told you they have the best tech out there??
-Trolleros everywhere trying to bash Dash. (and all other coin that can make shadow to their coin)
-Cripple miner at launch
-Botnet paradise
-Two fucking YEARS and no GUI!!!
Stupid community, because THEY think THEY have the TRUST

Monero is a religion coin with it's own believers and nobody from the real world doesn't care

It has come to my attention that Coinmarketcap is going to properly tag it as a fundamentalist religion coin shortly

~CfA~

Cargo cult with a bamboo GUI really Grin

Yeah but anonymity isn't everything.   For some people it's the only reason to use crypto but that's not everyone.   I think monero didn't take because there are just waaay too many options,  and bitcoin for most people is good enough.

Interesting insight on tor, you are absolutely right , truth is it was designed to let certain agencies in from the very beginning.
Nothing on the internet is truly anonymous.

Quote
The core principle of Tor, "onion routing", was developed in the mid-1990s by United States Naval Research Laboratory employees, mathematician Paul Syverson and computer scientists Michael G. Reed and David Goldschlag, with the purpose of protecting U.S. intelligence communications online. Onion routing was further developed by DARPA in 1997.[17][18][19]

Quote
In November 2014 there was speculation in the aftermath of Operation Onymous that a Tor weakness has been exploited. A representative of Europol was secretive about the method used, saying: "This is something we want to keep for ourselves. The way we do this, we can’t share with the whole world, because we want to do it again and again and again."

[FACT] Anon coins will never work !

AND ..they are a bad idea too !

@OP
Monero does not have the "Best tech" it is step backwards from Bitcoin tech wise.
And it has had a bad history from being born of a cloning platform fork
with a name used by and other existing coin (Bytecoin) and a community take over coin
Kept alive this long by a manipulative millionaire.

It has NOT taken off in the public because it is a train wreck of a shit gimmick coin
with supporters / dev team etc who are in permanent denial forever.
If anything ever does happen bad with Monero they simply deny it and push on.
This is retarded lunacy.

They are also greedy bag holders who simply hang around here spamming on about it 24/7
all in the the hopes new people show up and buy their Monero coins with real money.

The context..
If new users show up here they will see hundreds or even thousands of "me too" coins.
There was already thousands made when these guys decided i want to make a Monero anon coin.
So the public will see the deadly obvious.. the context of the scene / situation.
(that the supporters have been in denial about for close to 2 years now)

I would not hold your breath waiting for the shitty ass scam coin Monero to take over the world.
It just ain't happening.

If it was not for Risto / reptiela this coin would have been dead long ago..
It took off because a millionaire decided this was the coin of the future and invested MASSIVE amounts of money into it.
Which creates a greedy feeding frenzy and a line up of devs "looking for work"  Roll Eyes

Monero no doubt has the best technology out of all crypto coins.  To put it frankly, I've been neglecting this myself.  Having looked into the actual tech for the past months, I can now agree with the general consensus of reputable developers who have judged its inner workings.

However! A question that has been arising ever since seeing its numerous advantages - why is it largely ignored? The volume is very low, and there are only very few supporters.  How can this be?

Does mining it actually show a profit on a weekly basis?

If no profit then there is your reason.  Wink
As most are tired of losing money on speculation.

If there is a profit show some Numbers to help your argument.

I believe Monero is lacking in features. I'm not planning on sticking with them.

I was very optimistic about Monero, really really optimistic and enthusiastic
But I'm with you now... I'm out. They didn't deliver in my opinion

Very nice dukey8. 
 
This is the sort of high quality FUD I think that Monero deserves.

People who are against XMR are people who are bagholders of Dash..... which is a failed currency.

People need to realize that Monero (XMR) is the only fully anonymous coin on the market. Period.

We need to stop having coin-wars and accept that the future of currency is BTC for daily use, NXT platform for assets, finance & contracts, and XMR for anonymous transactions.


Monero is here to stay.....

I don't see the presence of  Chinese Monero communities or the effort to build one.

So far most focus on development.

Marketing China just recently plan. Will notice more soon. Contacting exchanges and build websites

The inflated ICO.

There was no ICO. The volatility at the beginning was just the number of coins in circulation being extremely small (since mining started with zero) and speculators having no idea what the coin would actually be worth.



I see the misuse of ICO here.

It would have been better to say point of entry.

Sure some people overpaid (I could go into details about the absurdity of the Mintpal paid voting rip off and accompanying pump that I called out as such at the time, but that's ancient history), but it's still worth keeping in mind the number of coins in existence at that point was quite low. Most of the existing supply was mined and traded at much lower prices, in a range fairly close to the current value, much of it lower.

I do have to agree that seeing so many XMR threads does put me off a bit. I think the 24/7 PR push for this coin is way too early...

Only a minority of the threads are anything like a PR effort (which I'm not saying I support -- I'm generally not in favor of the sort of over the top stuff that some people push, but that's just a question of my style vs theirs).

Most of the threads are from shills from competing coins, trolls, or bored copycats.

It's really unfortunate this forum doesn't have a thread-ignore feature, that would put a stop to all of it pretty fast.


Oh boy where oh where have I seen this attitude before? Oh yeah hashtalk.

Seriously when are you going stop blaming the trolls/shills/boogeymen for everything.
