Topic: Why *some guys claim Monero is the BEST coin ? (Read 2490 times)

without people no problems I guess... technology itself on the other hand is as rational as can be 

best regards,

I'll take that as tacit recognition that there was a problem. And I'm not saying that people didn't rise to it because they did.

best regards to you too. 

Ok, maybe routine for you, but creating the first really fungible digital currency is pretty big in my opinion... If the Bytecoin-devs can give that list, they should, why not, competition is healthy... I'm all for currency-competition! So let them bring it on...


Here you go again about people surrounding monero...
Again, do some introspection: why are you here? Are you interested in technology, economics, whatever... or are you here to meet nice people?

best regards,

That's right. Get it off your chest. You forgot vCash, Dash etc


They may. But it's pretty routine stuff - l mentioned the Ring Sig stuff which was probably the most noteworthy.
I never said Monero wasn't solid or has no technical merit. It just doesn't seem to have had developments that are particularly exciting or even newsworthy. I would imagine the Bytecoin devs could give out a similar list or even a GUI  .



No idea why? Instead of sounding like Jesse Pinkman I think you need to do some introspection.

I don't hate Monero. I just find some of it's advocates deeply unpleasant and disingenious. They are also proven abusers of the trust system and, during their spam campaign 2014-15, they showed that they had absolutely no regard or respect whatsoever for the other BCT members, here.

I don't hold any cryptonotes and am fairly agnostic on the relative merits of each. Despite the paranoid accusations and abuse from Monero devs and shills I have absolutely no connection, or relationship with, any crypto developers. If you want to know why I have distain for Monero, look at my Monero trust spam - I have been on this forum for years and the only people who have done this are Monero devs and shills.

To the best of my knowledge, these two things aren't invented yet...


Bytecoin is a scam, has been demonstrated ad nauseam...

....
--> the database-implementation effectively took RAM-usage from gigabytes to ~30 MB... most people call this 'progress'


don't care, but still, you got nothing on the technology itself, maybe it's time to do some introspection on why you hate a cryptocurrency this much... you've been acting like a little bitch about monero since its inception, no idea why...

Well, I cannot accuse you of having weak and vapid arguments! 

You missed cure for Cancer and World Peace.


A fair interpretation given the circumstances. But DOA? Has a high market cap, strong trading albeit magnitude less than Monero, Lots of development - have you downloaded the gui node or commerce node recently? More important, it was the code that your beloved Monero was forked from and is now more or less completely rewritten from the original.


I wasn't trying to downplay them - I would just like to know what these advances are that make Monero, not just the best cryptonote but second only to BitCoin itself.
  

Excited - Good! 

Rabid - Bad! 

And I wasn't just talking about fans - take a look at my trashed trust - the only negative trust I have recieved is from Monero devs and shills because I made similar points I am making here.

Your arguments are weak and vapid.  
  
Bytecoin had an 80% shadowmine..  It's DOA.  
Boolberry has a perpetual devmine and has shown little work/updates in the past 12 months.  I say this despite liking its lead Dev, cryptozoidberg, who has been acting as a positive force for other CNs as well.
I've literally never heard of DigitalNote and I'm pretty well read on this subject.  I'd rather hold Neptunium.
Monero has the most active market of any of the CNs by far, consistently in the top 10 coins traded daily on Poloniex.
  
The technical features you downplay represent large technical advances over any other Cryptonote based blockchain.  If you know of another CN that has major and compelling features that Monero lacks, please let me know.  Otherwise it sounds like you are confirming what I said: Monero is the most advanced.  
  
Was the launch easy for n00bs?  No, but it was fair.  Everyone had access to the mining code and clever people were able to optimize it.  However even then they didn't get much of a bonus - Monero price collapsed the first 18 months of its existence down to 25 cents at one point - you could have sauntered in over a year after launch and bought tokens from the market for a small fraction of their price at launch.  I can confirm this because despite being a coding peasant I still was able to get the cheap tokens with no mining.
  
Finally, the only argument you can come up with against the best financial technology in the world is that you don't like how excited and rabid the fans get about it? Remember how insufferable the early Bitcoin hodl'ers were?  Criticize the tech - it has nothing to do with the people who are fans of it.  If your biggest criticism of a world changing technology is that the enthusiasts are too enthusiastic about it, you need to rethink your strategy.

How does any of the above make it any better than, say Bytecoin, Boolberry or DigitalNote?

Launching BitMonero with a crippled miner for the plebs and an optimised miner for the dev controlled botnets hardly constitutes a 'fair launch'.

Apart from a few tweeks on emmission, block frequency and later ring signatures what has achieved in over two years that could cause you to brag that it is the best cryptonote, let alone on a par with Bitcoin or Litecoin?

On the other hand, the biggest problem for Monero has been the behaviour of the devs, whales, bagholders and fanboys who's appalling behaviour has alienated just about any person in crypto.

Is this seriously even a question?  I could go into great depth, but I will simplify things enormously and use as few words as possible.  
  
Unlike Bitcoin, the blockchain itself is encrypted so no one can see your transactions or balances (unless you permit them).  The privacy features enable fungibility, so unlike Bitcoin (who's history can be traced) one XMR really does equal one XMR.  As well there is no block size; it has a flexible block size which can accommodate a high number of transactions per second.  And don't forget the small perpetual tail emission so there will always be new Monero to mine, incentivizing miners with a reward beyond transaction fees.  Finally, I will mention an often overlooked feature - full anonymity is only available when running a full Monero node, incentivizing them.

It is the most advanced money ever created, and true digital cash.  It was launched fairly, with no premine or ICO nonsense, and it's pure proof-of-work with no silly add-on and untested cryptography.. It's the first time in human history we've had something this and is literally one of the most important inventions in the history of our species.

TPTB/Anonymint could answer this question in depth I think.

Reality is subjective. If you think Monero is BEST coin, then it is. If you think Monero SUCKS, then it sucks.

i'm still trying to figure this out

can someone summarize?

nice sig..

nice attempt at censorship..

... and we need yet another Monero thread for this? No matter on what side one is, in the Modero debate, there is no need for yet another Monero thread.

a bit on the vague side but at least you tried to answer the question.. i appreciate that.

edit:
i also suspected that was the answer but that does not equal the grand statements being made.
in other words the claims of how good it is does not make sense to me after hearing the reply.
see what i mean people ?


i don't consider a coin a community.. to me they are disctinct.
so if the coin is solid it can still be destroyed by lunatics flogging it in a bad way i think.

you can all see clearly here i asked a fair question in response to massively grandiose statements being made a lot and look at the topic replies i got.. LOL
i seen why did i ask a lot and well duh.. i wanted an answer *seriously.

the reason i asked is because i pointed out how i was not getting an answer on other topics
and i felt if i created this one i could get the answer i was looking for and then i wouldn't have to keep asking so much on other topics.
pointless if it was never getting an answer anyway lol

You are wrong here. Monero will have 1-5% of Bitcoin capitalization.

I don't like Sweater Vests and Monero

I don't like Sweater Vests

LMAO. How is that not a clone then?

give a reason why
