I think Monero mining will always be advantageous.So if I talk about Monero, I do not worry about the future.

If look over anonymous coin than Monero has upper hand because of more secured protocol and it really hard to trace the transaction using this platform. I also think Monero has more space to get more better position in future.

Probably, we will see a growing interest in altokamans as a whole by the end of the year, when bitcoingold falls. Monero is now interested in many people.

I would be careful with statements like this, but in theory that is right. If you control the whole network (sybill attack) you still can check the bytes traveling from A to B. Basically this is an "added value" over travelling via clearnet with added security. The developments is very good of the Monero community and i do believe that it doesn't need PR like other shitcoins around, hence it gives it's value and strength in it's beeing  Grin

Nice thing is though, by bundling it with a popular crypto currency wallet you could end up with so many more nodes than you ever could with tor or i2p.

Yeeeaaaaahhhh, but i think the fork will not help the I2P network per sé  Wink

Yea but it was bound to happen. It would be such a one sided deal for us to be routing their much larger data in exchange for them routing our puny little transaction data. Having it all be transaction data will make it all nice and uniform, which will make traffic analysis much harder, and it will keep it lean so that ruing a kovri node is no more onerous than it needs to be. It is a shame in a way but what'cha gonna' do?

if XMR was really private you wouldn't even need this! Smiley bwaahaha
Do you know what Kovri does? I assume not... As far as I understand it, it hides IP from which transaction is sent. Correct me if I am wrong. And can you tell me better privacy coin then XMR and constructive reason on why it is better?


Everyone knows that Monero, Zcash and Dash are the most famous anonymous coins.
I can not say the better these coins.
many people believe that Dash is not very anonymous, but in reality no one has been able to track the transaction so far.
also many people think that Zcash is more anonymous than Monero and Dash.
I think that all these coins can be used anonymously, and don't be afraid that your transactions will be monitored.

By the way,

how is kovri doing?

Wasn't alpha software just recently released? We actually have a buildable functional kovri for the first time now as I understand it. Seems good.

I confirm that. All the previous releases have the status "alpha-rc", i.e. "pre-alpha". Official alpha has been released just few weeks ago:
https://github.com/monero-project/kovri/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha

Monero/Kovri devs do have just one disadvantage: a very... VERY poor PR activity. They often do the great things in total silence. They probably think the github activity is completely sufficient source of a new information for the whole community.



That's good news though, i am eager about the security benefits it brings  Grin Cheesy Wink Smiley

Glad you brought this up as I forgot there was supposed to be an announcement after Defcon. I think Korvi is going to fork from Java Ip2.

You are welcome, i just was not reading anything about it on the net, so that's why i initially was asking  Grin


Hi;

I really don't understand Monero community. This project is not providing 100% privacy like Verge... but they are still chasing.

Kind reagards

Having fun having all those free coins dumped on your head?

if XMR was really private you wouldn't even need this! Smiley bwaahaha

This will just make it so that no one knows your even running a wallet on the network, you can already do that under tor. It is added security not a fix for security.
Your trolling gets boring, back to ignore soon.

Well the good news is when the trolls all show up at once it precedes a price increase. Cheesy

Yea that is a problem. Even getmonero.org is not properly updated. For example there was not info of GUI-problems. There were wrong wallet version numbers. The moneropedia https://getmonero.org/resources/moneropedia/ is inadequate. The team does anyway great job, but due to lack of PR, it is very difficult for ordinary people to get knowledge of Monero through all the noise of crypto.

What do you people think? Is this lack of communication conscious or just lack of situational awareness?

I guess the Monero community could have have some capabilty to arrange reasonable site and campaign for the possible future Monero users.

Watch this: https://youtu.be/KqhRZfKRriU?t=21m53s I also recommend you to watch whole interview.
+ If you want Monero to have more PR then do something about it. Smiley

Meanwhile, one site is found by me as useful aggregate of all the Monero-related info & help:
https://www.monero.how

Hope it will help the newbies...


That is a very good site.

Getmonero.org could be like it, even it does not has to be so detailed. Also XMR needs active PR campaing to tell what privacy and fungibility are and why Monero has them.

That is very old trick to advertise the shit in promising project but now people are more smarter than before so this is not working anymore.

Hello!

I downloaded the Monero GUI wallet. Started the monero app on my ledger, and created a new address for the ledger, in the Monero wallet. Im waiting for the wallet to sync now. will the wallet work just as normal? The only difference, is that i will have to conect the ledger, to be able to send Monero?

And i dont have to keep the ledger connected, while the wallet is syncing?

Sorry for the noob questions:P

Maybe it is? This isn't a price pumping project as I understand it.
