When will Monero reach DRK prices? its about time.
If I reveal my identity and my Monero address to a merchant or exchange, what can they figure out about my financial activity?
They can't (unless if they can access other merchants' database and start cross-referencing things).Should a Monero address be published (as on a webpage or in a sig) or should it be shared only with payees?
Can be published. Of course, an address being a character string, googling for this address could give some interesting result. But this is not a technical issue, this is a human issue.

If the Bytecoin/CryptoNote devs were scammers, how can we trust that the elliptic curve constants in Monero were not chosen maliciously?
maybe we should add "how to create a paper wallet" from the 10th june missives (https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7241339) as part of the faq.
Q: How do I set up a paper wallet/cold storage?
A: create a wallet on a computer disconnected from the Internet, write the 24 words and the address and the view key down, and then remove all the files created by the wallet.

Q: Prove me that Monero is not yet-another-shitcoin
It's a fork of BYTECOIN so it must have some redeeming attributes? Surely?Your argument is invalid and you know it. It's open source for a reason and anyone has right to fork as many times as one wanted to.
Lack of an 80% hidden premine and not being run by a coin mill that operates by fraud and scams is a "redeeming attribute."
But I could be wrong, maybe an open and wide early distribution, transparency, and integrity are overrated.

Q: What is the plural of Monero?
A: Since Monero is an Esperanto word, it should be "Moneroj" (as in viceroy). But a lot of people use "Moneros".

Edit: smooth's right, I'll respond in the main thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8229760
Hi 
I have question, if someone would be kind enough to answer
Is it possible to have totally open transactions with XMR (as open as BTC)....or do all transactions necessarily get obscured by ring-sig?

This was answered in this FAQ here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8148948
It might have not been clear. This isn't something that's even similar to you comparing your transaction records with someone. This method involves using data that is constant in your wallet, the view-key, that you can use to reveal, with absolute proof, that your transaction occurred on the blockchain. With this, yes, totally open transactions are possible. They can be as open as BTC, if everyone were to share every single view-key that they use with every wallet they use and make them accessible to everyone. I don't know why people would do that though.
This is an interesting discussion, but not really fitting with a FAQ format at this point, right?

Again, as of this moment, there is no automatic tooling in the wallet to do the reveal. Devs are adding it in an upcoming release.
