the stolen funds are not the problem. the problem would be the main liquidity place gone(assuming polo goes completely down) and the short to mid term chaos (otc/new exchange etc). but as allready said, i guess community could handle it. still, this is not the time to lay back. we have to try to spread the volume better!

he is right, its dangerous.
i know he is a troll and i know he writes stuff like that every day.

still this particular thing is a risk. i personally think monero would survive an event like this. but there would be a lot of pain, no question

What if Polo get hacked soon?
Than I think monero will be very dead

I proposed (and luigi1111 designed) a stop-gap solution that I believe would work great, and should be fairly simple to implement. It's just a matter of somebody doing it (luigi said he might).

Once again order is: network byte, pubspendkey, pubviewkey, paymentID, checksum

Good question: "If the NSA compromises monero users' wallets, gives Poloniex the order for the coins in their possession, and steals and buys more monero coins, the more transactions they can trace. And nobody would know the percentage of the outputs the NSA would own."

Is this response correct or am i missing where the cryptography hits the road? 

Some here may be interested in a new cryptosystem I've been working on which efficiently and privately proves the knowledge of secrets according to an policy defined by an AND/OR network:

https://github.com/Blockstream/borromean_paper/raw/master/borromean_draft_0.01_34241bb.pdf

This new ring-signature is asymptotically 2x more efficient than the one used in Monero/Bytecoin: It needs n_pubkeys+1 field elements in the signature instead of 2 * n_pubkeys. In particular, it retains this 2x efficiency gain when doing an AND of many smaller rings, because the +1 term is amortized across all of them.

The paper also describes a new way to think about ring signatures; which might be helpful to anyone who has looked at them before and found them confusing. (If we were successful, you'll think the new construction was so simple that it was completely obvious; I can assure you it was not... fortunately Andrew Poelstra came up with an especially good way to explain it.)

While the connection to Bitcoin may not be immediately obvious, I've used this as a building block in a much larger and more applicable cryptosystem which I'll be publishing, complete with implementation, shortly  (I'm trying to not flood people with too many new ideas built on new ideas all at once, and I'm still working on the description of the other constructions). I think this construction is interesting in its own right, and I'd be happy to learn if someone knows of this being previously published (though I was unable to find anything prior).

Maybe he bought in again?

It's worked on Windows since quite near the beginning. What you probably read is that we were making a platform agnostic blockchain import format, which we've also subsequently completed. There are performance issues we're dealing with at the moment, and we have to get those 100% right, else we could end up with a network fork (half of the network on the database version and half on the in-RAM version).

Maybe our love for Monero is finally defrosting his heart...
