Ask a simple question like 'what is Monero's unique value/innovation compared to any other Cryptnote coin', or 'what uniqu innovation have the Monero dev's actually done over Bytecoin code'
Then get 20 Monero posts evading the question, shouting about FUD, a million lines of code, attacking DASH...
But not one person actually tried to answer this question
In fact both questions were answered. I answered the first by explaining that no other cryptonote has an open public development process and a strong community (in fact arguably none has either one) and fluffypony answered the other
with a specific list.
so zero innovation then, you admit that?
1. Cryptonote is uniquely innovative and for all practical purposes Monero is cryptonote.
2. See bold above.
My question is not whether Cryptonote is an innovation, because there are lots of Crytonote coins
There is only one that matters, but your logic is flawed. If cryptonote is innovative then all cryptonote coins are innovative, at least until one dominates over the others (which has happened).
Question is what actual innovation (world-changing, profound etc) has Monero done on tpop of Cryptonote, after this whole year of development, and that would be any barrier to any other Crytponote coin springing up with the same innovation level, if the market wanted that...
It is impossible for any
code-level development to be not be copyable in a public open-source environment, so your question as I believe you intend it is nonsensical. In terms of
non-code-level developments, I already answered. It is impossible, or at least extremely difficult, for any other cryptonote coin to "spring up" with the strength of the Monero community.
Lest you think I'm doing some kind of reverse justification here, I was preaching the extreme importance of strength-of-community in coin development last year, before during and after Monero's creation. I'm sure someone who is motivated can find posts supporting that. It should be obvious as a coin is inherently a social phenomenon.
