Is monero worth a buy now?

If you believe in future of privacy coins - yes.
McAfee is shilling it for example

Nick Szabo is shilling it too.

Was there any article yet that Nick Szabo made Monero? Strange how article writers can make a bug stories, but they cant make Monero creator story when Nick Szabo shill Monero.

Lol. Cos he's too far out... Amir Taaki could be more likely to be Monero's founder, thankful_for_today. IMHO.

Oh, so you are saying not thankful for today but Nicolas van Saberhagen. Yes that makes sense Nick Szabo , Nakamoto Satoshi, Nicolas van Saberhagen. Picture got way more clear now.

Nah.. Don't think so. Too obvious. Lol. And I was talking about Monero, not Cryptonote.

Big respect to Amir, but I don't think he's the man behind Monero. Even the Dark Wallet was abandoned and incomplete back then, let alone something like the Cyptonote wallpaper.

Yeah... I was just having fun putting out his name out there since we're just throwing darts at the dart board. But Taaki speaks Esperanto and into protecting privacy and activism.

Was there any hints about thankful_for_today being a poker player at one point or went back packing around the Middle East?

Well I don't know but aftyer reading this it looks like he would be a good fit for TFT.

Why there will never be any critical bug in Monero protocol? Because things are done as they should be. This was 4th audit of RandomX this time by Quarkslab. Before it was allready auditeted by Kudelski, X41 and TrailOfBits. Some may say it is overkill, but it is just to prevent wet dreams of "minting bugs" article writers.

Quarkslab has studied the security of the Monero Research Lab’s new Proof-of-Work algorithm called RandomX. The evaluation was spread over about three weeks for a total of 32 days with three engineers. It took over from three other security audits, all four made possible thanks to the Open Source Technology Improvement Fund.

Therefore, to maximize the value of a fourth review, Quarkslab focused part of its efforts on:

• the analysis of a few areas less covered by the previous reports,

• the analysis of the previous reports, the responses of Monero Research Lab, and the subsequent changes in the code and in the specifications.

Despite a highly complex and radically new subject, the documentation and code of RandomX were of very high quality. All the attack paths we could think of had already been taken into account or at least studied in the previous audits. Then we reviewed the previous reports, the Monero Research Lab replies and their subsequent code changes. We agree with them.

Moreover, we didn’t find any significant optimization of the proof-of-work algorithm, even with approximations.

THIS is a glowing Report!
Thank for sharing Febo.

We already know that Cointelegraph is owned by the Bytecoin/Minergate/Changelly/CoinMarketCap people. Why entertain their drivel?

To be honest, I tend to forget which interest owns which popup faux news sites now, there are just too many. i need a easy to referance chart. That would be a nice thread i would think.
So is there a thread on Bytecoin/Minergate/Changelly/CoinMarketCap connections. i remember Bytecoin/Cointelegraph and Minergate/Bytecoin being connected in a thread somewhere but I didn't know about the others, is this conjecture or do you have some links. Aren't these same russians connected to coinhive.

My memory just keeps getting worse.

Is this the thread you are thinking about?

Actually no, that is the thread on the original bytecoin scam synopsis. I'm more interested atm of having a link to the bytecoin scam crew and all the pots they have their fingers in.
Thanks for the link though as i don't have it stored and should.

I just lost most of today reading all that thread. Amazing stuff - Bytecoin? What a scam!

Yeah, I just spent an hour re-reading parts and didn't realize how much of it I had forgotten.

I always kind of thought "Thankful For Today" meant Hal Finney, being as how he was dying and knew he'd not have many more "todays" left.

Hal being the force behind TfT wouldn't surprise me too much even without this "pointer" to it being him.

Or, maybe not. Who knows.

Just a dumb random speculation ima throwin' out here on the thread today just so's you guyz knowz ima still hangin' around herez ;-)

Weird thought I would find this Very Hard To Believe, i have never read anywhere where he was referenced as being involved in scams but then again he did a have a relationship with CSW. but on second thought if that were so them CSW would have been involved and we all know he can't keep his mouth shut and isn't smart enough to stay hidden as the bytecoin team has done.

But yeah, nice to see you still hanging around. I had a rough week and haven't been online much and have a little catching up to do so any interesting links would be appreciated from the last week..
