Open source anon software > closed source that claims to be anon.
 

So what if it's open source?   The question is... even if it's open source, do YOU know how secure it is.   BitMessage is still awaiting independent audit themselves like I said.  Even if both are open source, if both have not been audited independently... you don't really know how secure it is.   eg.  there is nothing to quantify against each other.

It's like arguing about who's lawn is greener without a spectrophotometer or... who can throw the ball faster without a calibrated radar gun.

We are just not at the point to ask questions like that yet.

Bc one is open source?

With all do respect dude (88flaminchevy), you seem to be new at the whole crypto world. This is a very positive comment by someone that very excited about XC and sincerely wants it to succeed. To spin this and make it sound like a negative and instill fear in traders shows me your lack of experience. If you don't want to invest in XC, please move on. Mike x 3 is respected in the XC community and many of us have really benefited from his advice. Please keep it that way. Enough said.

It's funny you ask that, because even BitMessage is asking for independent audit for their system.   Do YOU know how BitMessage is really anonymous and good in any way?   How do you compare one system to another when both systems are not at the audited phase yet?

rdnkjdi... should I invest in PoW? So the miners, (who are the early adopters) can get rich? Which will lead to No community, no consensus = coin stagnates & dies.

-NXT vs Litecoin? Talk about cherry picking to make your argument about PoS vs PoW.

-This price stability is the result of people at the top of the food chain not selling? You correct! Why? Because they know the price is too low. Thank you Captain Obvious.

You have been accused of FUD in other threads, because where there is smoke, there is fire. Yesterday we have news that REV2 is going to be released and you show up. How convenient. This thread had been FUD-free for the longest time, and now we have a gentleman who is suffering from Dunning–Kruger effect, telling us what a weak community we have here, and our tech will have no impact. What are you basing your metrics on? A feeling? The talking rock by the river?

No KimmyF. I will not listen to him, because I know who he is, and what he is doing. He is talking about absolutes. He is making claims about consensus, that can be applied to almost all the coins, but is cherry picking. How is that a fair discussion? Nobody here knows the future, so why would I listen to an argument that is singling out XC? Its true... he claims not to support any other coin, but its obvious Monero is his baby. Enough with this guy already.

It's mostly because I've not seen any real answers.  I do have a question - how does XChat compare to Bitmessage - does it offer better anonymity and if so how?

We are looking for constructive criticism, not fud. XC has proven itself to be a legitimate currency with high standards for any tech put out publicly.  I remember you were a very active member in one of the fud threads. Further you did not listen to our answer and took your own conclusions.

You do realize that not seeing the "con" side of an investment is a bad idea right?  Any coin I decide to invest in I will welcome criticism to.  Informed decisions are not blindly optimistic ones
