Topic: [XMR] Monero Speculation - page 178. (Read 3314316 times)
Zcash will be the trojan horse that eventually gets Monero onto the big exchanges. A privacy-lite coin is a stepping stone toward getting the regulators comfortable with real privacy coins.
Interesting view point and speculation.
I cringe when hearing about optional privacy, it gives a false sense of security. Worse than no privacy at all.
It appears that cryptonote is unbreakable at the moment, so monero hodlers can breathe a sigh of relief. Also it will encourage those shady people to do their deals with XMR payments rather than bitcoin. Kidnappers are switching to it, so the rest will being to follow
Lol... Fuck that. Most of us here would never condone anything like that shit. It's disgusting.
That's just the thing... I think most of us here are for freedom, privacy and responsibility.
People do with money what people do with money. It should be private unless the people want otherwise.

Lets not forget that Java platform is inherently insecure unless something has changed in my time out of the field.
There are still issues but at least the modularity improvements mean that it is possible to not deploy the entire enormous runtime (with its entire attack surface) just for one application. So not ideal, but less bad than it used to be.
Good to know.
monero… something incredible but too expensive …
1 XMR only cost 1 XMR.

Don't know anymore, its dangerous to be right when the world is wrong.
“Obviously, we listed Zcash, We didn’t attempt to list Monero and we felt that Zcash was the privacy coin that we could get our regulators comfortable with.”
get this right, they did not even dared to attempt list Monero, because it could displease the regulators, if you don't think we are living in 1984 meets Brave New World, I don't know what to say.
but the bittersweet part is, Monero will still pump hard in a bullmarket just because everything else pumps and Monero is in a good number of exchanges already. The last big uncorrelated pump was when Alphabay added Monero, and that alone made it the most profitable coin of the year, I don't think we'll see that happening again.
I also don't think they will try to go after Monero simply because its too late at this point, as it was with Bitcoin in 2011, at end of the day its just another open-source project. And they already have a ''privacy'' coin where they want, the corporation behind Zcash will bend to the will of the USG. Green said so.

In a few years when Grin gets it's legs under it it will be the red headed stepchild (in place of monero) and not allowed on regulated exchanges and all the fat cats will have their bags of monero's and then it will be a private store of value they will have accumulated enough of to allow it on exchanges.

Blockmanity’s Take
Privacy based Cryptocurrencies like Monero have gotten a bad rep from media for its usage by criminals, but the study shows that only a small percentage of Monero is actually being mined by criminals. Even with Cryptocurrencies like Zcash which provides privacy as optionality, less than 15% of transactions are actually private.
The Ethos of privacy Cryptocurrencies is to provide fungibility and basic privacy for individuals which happen to be a human right. But the focus of the discussion always revolves around the minority percentage of users using it for illicit purposes.

^ 'Additional funds requested should be paid in Monero. We need to start R&D as soon as we recieve the XMR as we don't wanna waste too much time.
Thank you, thank you very much.'

hmm
"8/ They are showing a demo of a DNM that's advertising MyMonero as its main way of paying, which of course can deanonymize any transaction of theirs due to they have access to everything, since it's a web wallet. (Except their IP if they're over Tor.) "
That's just bunkem right? "of course"
This one is cooler, specifically mentions cryptonote as being the problem they need more money for...
Do these guys Chain-ANAL whatever really have a chance at this -OR- they just frontin’ & stuntin’ here?
LOLz

Lets not forget that Java platform is inherently insecure unless something has changed in my time out of the field.
I believe that this is using the openjdk version, which is fully open source.

What about his offer to pivot to something else?
@joroz That's not quite the right take.
The Java platform features that knaccc is using to streamline the deployment (and expected to streamline it further later this year) either didn't exist or were not in their current state of maturity two years ago. So some of the "progress" was achieved not solely by knaccc's "two weeks" but due to the passage of two years of time, and the work of Java developers over those past two years. Much as I respect and appreciate the work, knaccc alone did not accomplish the "task" in "two weeks".
(It is also not yet a fully-integrated i2p+Monero solution that kovri was at least attempting to accomplish. Whether it will get there remains to be seen but it certainly looks more promising.)
