Topic: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency - page 1658. (Read 4670972 times)

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

It is a good signal. If this coin is not too good, it will not have so many enemies

If I (or any one of us) had control of a botnet we would not be involved with Monero. Trust me. We would have much more profitable fish to fry (ransomware, for instance).


Your first sentence is 100% right. Per SearchSecurity:

'Eric Raymond, compiler of The New Hacker's Dictionary, defines a hacker as a clever programmer. A "good hack" is a clever solution to a programming problem and "hacking" is the act of doing it. Raymond lists five possible characteristics that qualify one as a hacker, which we paraphrase here:

A person who enjoys learning details of a programming language or system
A person who enjoys actually doing the programming rather than just theorizing about it
A person capable of appreciating someone else's hacking
A person who picks up programming quickly
A person who is an expert at a particular programming language or system, as in "UNIX hacker"'

Your second sentence needs a specific example. What is "the way they do things" that leads to these dark prospects? Be specific, vague hand-waving and ad hominem attacks don't make your point.


We don't have any Debian packages out yet, so I'm not sure how you could be disappointed in our debs.

To your second point: why would a competent core team, skilled and knowledgeable in C / C++, low-level networking, mathematics, and cryptography ever be capable of being excellent web developers? You seem to conflate the two.


Now now, my little troll, let us not use such turns of phrase for fear this god you mention smite you for your blasphemous words.

I think it would be tough to argue that we're anywhere close to the level of Mark Karpeles or pirateat40 or, say, the developers of a cryptocurrency with an 82% premine.

Excellent analogy. The world's governments are increasingly becoming inefficient and authoritarian, technology is the only way we will transcend  that without having to revolt.

Also, the amount of obvious new troll/FUD accounts with few posts in this thread is too damn high.

Sure.


Which one of them is not competent? I've been in contact with two, and I think they are doing fine. (As usual, you are invited to join, it is open source.)


The slow coin generation schedule was my second qualifier for buying XMR. (The first is that the coin is doing something novel and useful, which disqualifies 99% of coins.) Slow schedule means high apparent inflation for long time to come, but that way the coins are distributed to people who have the dough to pay for them, instead of for free to the pump&dump"dev"/"early adopter"(often)scammers, which typically is the case.


How?

Please donate to XMR team https://pay.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/2afh3j/dev_team_donation_drive/ 7 developers are working too hard to keep the ball rolling. XMR will be the best moment in cryptocurrency age after bitcoin 

Oh yea im super optimistic. Even though my government grows larger and larger every year, innovation still outpaces the damage they do. The human experience gets happier, healthier, wealthier, and richer every year, in spite of the government. Its like a leach that grows larger every year in absolute terms, but smaller every year relative to the host. So excited about the future .

I heard that President Obama is a 12 foot tall shape shifting reptilian...is that true?

At least they seem 10 times more competent than other CN coins devs... I will stick with that and lets see what happens in a few months.

People knows that XMR team are very competent devs

Monero has no future, because there’s hardly a single competent developer in their devs team and the market can't withstand such amount of coins, and it will only get worse in a few months’ time.

haha YOu know in my work I am constantly looking and studying how the world could go wrong, mainly economically. But when i look at the big picture things are getting better.
