How is Monero's scaling terrible compared to Bitcoin? I don't get it.

If one believes that keeping the blocksize in Bitcoin at 1 MB is a good idea then Monero's scaling with its adaptive blocksize limit could be seen as terrible. Monero's scaling appeals to those who want to see an increase in the Bitcoin blocksize

I do think that Monero is probably the best altcoin right now, since it actually does something major that Bitcoin doesn't, even if its scaling is terrible and it'll probably be replaced by a Bitcoin sidechain someday. Achieving Monero-style anonymity for everyone should be a long-term goal of Bitcoin.

Thought this was interesting to read.

theymos' position on Bitcoin scaling is well known so I am not surprised at his comments on Monero scaling. I completely disagree with them though. He does to his credit see the value in Monero's fungibility, privacy and anonymity.

I merely posted it to show that Monero is in the subconscience of Bitcoin proponents.

where has risto been? i love reading his bold predictions! takes a guy with a real sack to see something from the seed, true genius!

I give risto credit for consistent and careful logic, but the true visionaries were the community members who took it from a byte coin clone with a logic bomb to within a hairs breadth of the ideal of community-based, open-process, fair-distribution crypto perfection. A lot of sweat went into that.

Bitcoin is great when you need world+dog to see your financial details. For everything else, there is monero.

I think someone knows something. Bitfinex?

Soon the EU will clampdown with KYC/AML, and bitcoin will be almost unusable for politically incorrect purposes as they choke off the fiat inflows. If I were bfx, I would be making contingency plans. Like hoarding some XMR before listing.

Sheer speculation, mind you, but it is rational, and we have seen this before: supply dries up, then it gets listed.

XMR pumping pretty well on Polo these days … News ?

NVM, I caught up with the thread

No news really. Just monero pump time now.

There have been several big commits in Github over the past few weeks, the Monero StackExchange hit 100% recently, Cryptopia added an XMR base (like Poloniex), it has by far the best technology for untraceable and private transactions, a solid community and committed devs...I could go on. Those are just some of the reasons. Frankly, this coin is still very undervalued.

HAHA funny sig TrueTroll! I would have never saw it except I wanted to see your response to Medusa. BTW, Who taught you how to spell? It's I before E except after C and U before E when referring to me.

I changed my sig for you!

Is there any particular reason that XMR is rallying so much vs. BTC right now (I'm out of the loop)?

Is it true? It's such a scam why would anyone want any? Tongue

XMR price went up now for more than a month. that ETH incident pushed it up to fast and needed 10 days to stabilize, now is just continuing.

Is funny that all Poloniex is again red beside XMR.

No worries man, apology accepted. Imma check out that GUI you mentioned, last time I checked XMR wallets were pretty codey.

GUI is not yet out. Its just getting closer to ready, based on the code commits on github.

Lol chill out mate, I actually divested a bunch of my BTC into Monero when it first hit 0.0035, I own nearly a thousand. I was just after some info cos I didn't sell when it hit the 0.004s (last year?) after being convinced by its features and deciding to hold even though I could have sold and made profit.

You gave me some good info anyway, even if it was in a passive aggressive way...

It was meant as humor, not as passive agressive. Its hard to get the right tone across in internet forums sometimes, I apologize.
