Hard to believe that a significant amount of wise money would enter into a coin based on if it has 20k or 100k posts in the thread without reading a sample of a few pages here and there to assess the quality and the issues discussed.

Dash is floating on hot money imo. But they seem pretty resilient - if they just renounced the claims of instamine being an accident, and anonymity, it might be worth to check out. As long as scamcoin label persists, it is ruled out for me.

Could not agree with you more. Grin

Also, the official forum is forum.getmonero.org. Announcements and discussions are often posted there instead of here, though may also get cross posted here.

I've tried to use the official forums before and just found them unpleasant... it's hard to put my finger on it; maybe it has to do with the alignment or style of the text, or perhaps the old-school nested comment trees... not 100% sure. I'm sure someone at one point worked very hard to put them together, so I hope no one takes it personally, but I would almost rather Monero move over to a Simple Machines Forum standard itself.

This place catches a lot of shit, but with a few exceptions its actually very functional and pleasant to use.

Has the dev abandoned XMR?

No. That is just an account that the core devs use to post updates that are worth posting with concerning monero.

Please share your thoughts.

I think your post is off-topic, and you should make a new thread for it to help keep this one on-topic.

1940 unique users is good! Also your post made me notice that i am now legendary

Gratz! There has been a massive increase in both hero and legendary members here. I'd guess this is in large part due to forum users "aging" rather than new influx of users, just notice that there has been 0 increase in full members, so there has been a lot moving up to hero

I mean his firm name if he creates something based on the logo...

Hey guys, speaking of logo, does the Monero team need a little help to improve the Monero images ?

I feel very inspired today, and full of energy and good vibes... My artist work is always loved (almost always)...
I could perhaps have succeeded to save Cloakcoin with my art, but they declined, I still don't understand why...

Maybe now it's time for me to contribute to Monero graphics, right ? Grin

It's perfectly fine to say "The AmericanPegasus App now incorporates Monero!" and include the logo.
It's even fine to make a game called "Monero Miner" using the symbol.

It's not ok to say "Monero presents The AmericanPegasus App." because this implies endorsement.

What do you think about https://forum.bitcoin.com? They opened Altcoins subforum and there are Ripple, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin subforums for discussion. I think if we want Roger Ver will open Monero subforum too.
I like Monero discussion here but another option would be good too. They will probably get different userbase. We should tell about Monero to newbies.

I don't see anything wrong with more exposure to Monero.

Has anyone here become active on that forum yet? What do you think about it?

I'm trying to keep the monero board over there a little bit up to date, but without having any real plan behind my activity. In case that forum.bitcoin.com should ever develop some more organic activity(I highly doubt that, rogerver doesnt seem to have a real masterplan for the development) I might need another helping hand for discussions. Just keeping TOF more or less up to date however, is no big work atm

I'll check TOF at least once a day currently.

Hard to believe that a significant amount of wise money would enter into a coin based on if it has 20k or 100k posts in the thread without reading a sample of a few pages here and there to assess the quality and the issues discussed.

Dash is floating on hot money imo. But they seem pretty resilient - if they just renounced the claims of instamine being an accident, and anonymity, it might be worth to check out. As long as scamcoin label persists, it is ruled out for me.

Everyone is free to make their own decisions. Ignore me if you disagree.

I think there are plenty of warnings regarding the DASH instamine and other red flags in the alt coin section already. Some people make assumptions about coin popularity based on the length of their announcement thread (although this is often a bad assumption). Why not keep our criticisms about DASH in the alt coin section devoted to those topics and ignore their announcement thread? I estimate that their announcement thread is at least 1 or 2 thousand pages longer than it should be because of people posting about their instamine and other problems.

I actually have doubts that the DASH community is larger than Monero but the length of their announcement thread gives that impression. Our Reddit page for example is more active than theirs. Some of you may have noticed that r/dashpay recently decreased from 5000 readers to about 1100 (I suspect many of their fake readers were deleted). As much as the DASH community complains I think they actually like Monero supporters posting in the DASH announcement thread to make it longer. I propose we stop posting their and post in the topics already started to discuss specific topics (instamine, lack of masternode mode blinding, mining rewards, sporks etc.) instead.

Although unprofessional behaviour by other Crypto-Currency devs, thanks for funding the promotion of DASH... We would like to thank you for keeping us top of mind on this forum. As the saying goes... There is no bad publicity! Thanks...

Please share your thoughts.

Agreed. I'm going to stop posting about DASH already.

Much of the volume was not just Monero posters, but DASH users quoting our posts and responding. I still wonder how many pages would disappear from the announcement thread if all Monero posters deleted all comments. 500-1000 maybe?

I fully agree. It's getting really tiresome and embarrassing, too. Let the dash train wreck collapse on its own.
