The devs have themselves to blame for this. There have been several people who volunteered to build a modern user friendly and highly polished website and have been refused in this thread. With the devs saying "we don't need help, we are almost done with a new website...". Yet weeks go by and nothing happens. So I think taking responsibility for over promising or under delivering, which ever it is, would go a long way to dispelling the "dev's can't deliver" observations.

In my opinion, the problem is not black and white thinking but incoherence. You can't debate with somebody who call flawed logic "moderation"...

Sometimes ridged black and whites are accurate. Libertarians particularly are often accused of polarized thinking however almost all human interactions can be neatly categorized into the ones where one party is either bonking, or threatening to bonk the other party over the head and ones were neither are doing this. This is very black and white thinking and often a very useful line of thought. Of course this isnt a rebuttal to what you are saying because you didnt claim anything to the contrary of what i just said, i just thought it was an interesting point.

I have enjoyed reading AnonyMint's posts, but you hit the nail on the head with my bolded comment. That is the problem I have with his posts (and I'm not saying this in an attacking way.) but when we break a complicated thing called life into just a few groups, we are missing the picture. There is still a lot of information and truth in his posts, so I take a J. Krishnamurti approach of "seeing the truth in the false", so to speak.

Further, polarized thinking makes us rather predictable, non-creative, non-free thinking, followers, easy to direct/control and on and on. I mean it takes away the dynamic nature of being a human BEING. It makes us into the very dichotomies of those that create them. (A bit hard for me to English this.) It is like culture, religion, tradition, "education", language, etc. Use all of what we are...

Appreciate your posts on XMR,
Its about sharing

Often libertarian use "socialist" for everything that isn't libertarian. it's a problem of language but crony-capitalism is definitively the outcome of failed socialist nation (Russia, China, France...). But some state in US have an hight rate of cronyism of some country in Europe have a low rate of cronyism.

I am of a pragmatic bent.  Rather than blame ideology I prefer to observe mechanics.  I think you, AnonyMint,  often miss opportunities to usefully educate because you over-use polarizing category language, to which most minds are hardened.  I am sure that Deng "Little Pheonix" would back me, in that it doesn' t matter whether the debt-backed fiat-slavery regime and socialization of losses are imposed by a dictatorship of the proletariat or by the regulatory capture of crony capitalists, if the outcomes are similar.

The whole planet is subject to common driving forces these days, due to increased interlinking bandwidth on all levels of organization, from material goods to physical/ chemical energy, to financial flows, to informative signals, to emotive zeitgeist -- even genetic transmission and familial ties are global now.  This results in a remarkable synchronization.  North American, European, East Asian and even Australian economies and societies share similar liabilities of energy-draining rentiers, compliant brainwashed and transfer payment co-opted masses, captive rigidly ossifying regulatory regimes, and exponential debt explosion. Japan and China face the same end-game now.  Japan is likely to be the first to feel the brunt, and China may be the last.

The lesser rigidity and inertia of smaller, more isolated, and less developed polities will make them relative havens.  I think of Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America here - but even there the implosion of Kissinger's dollar system will make itself unpleasantly felt.  I consider Chile a pretty good bet, among the nation-states.

For some reason while running and CPU mining Monero my anemic computer has recently been behaving itself to the point that I tried running a work program at the same time that I had difficulty with previously as it needs to send and receive information in a timely manner.  An hour later and not even a hiccup.

Nazis and ancaps alike will benefit from transactional privacy.  A truly subversive and disruptive crypto will end up being used by even those very tyrants who would most like to strangle it.  I like the insight embodied in the twisted phrase:  Power co-opts; absolute power co-opts absolutely.  It is awful when that inexorable dynamic works against you, and deleriously wonderful when its potency is in your favour.

Seriously, just stop feeding the trolls, it solves nothing.

Perhaps he means to ask why we don' t roll over for his smear campaign.

Perhaps he is too accustomed to pump/dump scams to recognize when educated and intelligent people are genuinely enthusiastic about a project of general benefit to all.

Care to tell us what PR you observe?

How many accounts did you bought for your FUD campaign?
Do you really think this works? Why are you fighting against XMR? What is your problem?

Why there’s so much PR about Monero?
If a thing is really worthy, it does not need so much noise around it.
Looks kinda suspicious - like there are things behind all this that Monero devs would like to hide.

It is a bit more complex. You are speaking of effects the socialism does in a corrupted society. I don't live long enough to know better but, concluding from most extreme cases of today, socialism is exploated to buy in more than critical mass of ppl - and then majority defend status quo at which all society is locked in. This buying in works at exponential expansion periods, but only that lock disable society to reorganize quickly with corrections, which then may lead to less predictable consequences to say the least

EDIT: I believe certain level of socialism is excellent, see some northern EU nations for example, but it has to be transparent to mitigate corruption where it is not working that well.

This is good advice trampk.  For example superrisistant is not on ignore.  But you are.

Hi guys new to the monero train. commencing mass thread catchup. got myself loaded with a few hundred for the ride. 

Which feature are you asking about?

how about the coin feature?

Couldn't resist watching such a low price for the last few days and bought some more Monero.

Just ignore them, they are all Bytecoin and Cryptonote fake accounts.
They are pissed that they cant control Monero and well, no idea what their plan is but i guess in Russia where they are from it makes sense after enough vodka
