Don't know about Gingercat, but I'm still getting used to my microphone sensitivity. I've reduced it for this week's Missive, hopefully that reduces the amount of "breathing" that comes through. Recording a podcat is harder than expected, especially when you're a dog lover.

That being said....anyone got some good Monero footers I could use for my account

Im a big Dash/Drk trader and have traded many others...Although I must say that I wasn’t excited about the way the 1 or 2 XMR devs handle themselves in that thread and a few others,  after much reading and research, I do believe this project has great great potential. Im actually really excited to start really taking a bigger position with XMR in my portfolio(sold last BIG pump and caught a small position after the BCX fiasco). I think the main reason why It took me longer to even give the project  a fair research is because some of the devs carried themselves the way they did. Again just giving prospective from a somewhat outsider.

 I know everyone in this thread has their own thoughts on evan...but the one thing that many respect about him is that he is always quiet with the nonsense. Dosent answer to trolls or smear other coins just gives updates and discusses factors and ideas only within the realm of the project. I think theirs something positive to be said about a dev mentality like that. Avoid the nonsense and focus exclusively on the mission.

Again not trying to troll or make anyone sour. Like I said .....anyone who actually reads and researches into this project can see the amazing work going on here in Monero. Im excited to be taking a bigger position and look forward to trying to help the community in anyway possible. Just wanted to vent some views/opinions from an outsider coming in. I think we could suck alot more people in to this awesome project if we stopped putting out a bad taste in peoples mouths. Either way excited for the future of Monero!

An altcoin payment processor that settles on the back in BTC and/or XMR.

This is all true but it is understandable when the standard of behavior in this community is so low it is: a) hard to believe, and b) of no use for us to state it because on one believes it anyway (and reasonably so). It's more reasonable in some objective sense to see this project as just another one of many scams than to believe it really is different.

So we will just carry on with the project and actions will speak louder than words (if more slowly). If you've been around since last year you can see that the amount of attacks against the project and core team are actually a lot lower now, I think a small indication that the message is getting through. It won't reach everyone immediately (or even perhaps eventually) though, nor do I expect it to.

can someone explain to me what i am looking at?

Well this was going to be a surprise, but I suppose now is as good a time as any. We literally said we were going to go back to the original idea and launch with various currencies being supported. So to correct you, here is Vertpay now:

You know nothing about me, you know nothing about how I have made my money. So your assumptions, in view of that, are really silly. But you tried hard to smear me, and I can appreciate that the desperation is getting to you, so allow me to congratulate you on an incredible effort. Have a great long weekend desperately trying to think of more negative things you can say about me, I'm sure there's lots!

I've spent hundreds of hours reading about Monero, interacting with the Monero community, and assessing how the dev team (especially smooth, fluffypony, and David Latapie) behave towards the community and towards outsiders. I am convinced that they are smart, competent, and honest. Monero was forked from Bytecoin because of righteous indignation at their ninja-mine scam. The Monero community crystalized around the idea that Monero would be different. And because of that, it is and will be. This may be difficult for newcomers to appreciate and may come across as moralistic trolling. But in actuality it is having high standards and holding others to the same standard.

A new missive is out! #27

When I read this writing, I immediately was reminded of how this forum operates and the behavior of people around here operating under the self proclaimed title of "scambuster" or something similar claiming to be doing a "service for the community".  In reality they are only seeking public justification for relentlessly harassing targeted individuals so they can continue to do so without repercussion, at the expense of the entire community. Social justice warriors are active here on Bitcointalk, only here they like to call themselves "scambusters", and they are every bit as obsessive compulsive, narcissistic, and fascist. Unfortunately this is a global issue, not just effecting Bitcointalk. Real oppressors always wear the skin of a liberator, this way they can get all of the true believer's packed with cognitive dissonance to mindlessly dump hate upon targets they designate. This is a growing problem for all walks of life. Please be on the alert for this sociopathic behavior disguised as justice.

Hopefully your investors will look at what I said and do their own research and make their own decision.  

The fact that in response it looks like you have actually resurrected the VertPay 'project' and now presumably going to hock that off the back of Monero (that you are a 'volunteer' for) I think goes some way to prove my point........

I'm not 'desperately' trying to find negative things to say about you and I have refrained from posting here after being attacked by (the less credible of the) Monero people for the last 4 weeks on other threads as they go around trying to pump Monero price by defaming any coin remotely within their space, I just did 30 minutes reading today and what I found I thought was worth showing to people here, mainly because of how 'honest' everyone automatically assumes your intentions are when from experience and losing a lot of $ in scams before, I don't take at face value.

I am not attacking the Monero project itself, but when I see hypocrisy and then get attacked, obviously I am going to state the obvious for people.

No point in repeating my concerns, it should be obvious. I will check back in 6 months and see how you are doing........

cheers

Here is Vertpay now: https://vertpay.com/

No one is accusing you of a scam in Monero (but 100s of people did with OpenRigs non-deliveries

If this isn't true, what is your main investment right now if not Monero, or did you miraculously decide you didn't want to make serious $ before when you saw how profound Moner's tech was after you ditched VertPay?  You did OpenRigs before you tried to taise 200k from Vertcion investors, and you have dozens of people on BCT claiming they never recieved their products and that that was a scam too.  So what is your latest money making idea right now if not Monero or are you just working for free now?
