Devs are working on a better solution than not using forks.

I hope they get something devised soon. Then it will be a moot point.

Just another security hole to get closed down.

Monero could be a good investment because many people consider investing in digital currencies. Since our technological world is changing, you can transact fast, secure, and anonymously. It uses a technology similar to the Virtual Private Network, thus defining itself as untraceable. Everyone has a favorite cryptocurrency

Andreas Antonopoulos mentioned he has not and would not sell any forked coins because he's not willing to sell his privacy.
I'd argue that he should just use Monero then, but that's beside the point.

I traded my BTC forks because BTC isn't private anyway. Monero is a totally different story.

Well, at this point I'm just waiting for all the fallout to settle. Looks like we are now up to 5 Moneros and counting -

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/monero-just-hard-forked-and-it-resulted-four-new-projects/

I will be watching exchange support for all these coins very closely.

I will not. I know it is stupid to throw away free money as I am often told, but I doubt I would lose much, at least, I do not think so much that my time and effort would have equalled for it.

They can make 5 or 500 more Moneros. I already like the one I have. Same as when I had Bitcoin. I did bother for the one fork, but all the rest? Any other stupid people like me? Smiley

These forks are like Nigerian Prince scams
This is what happens if you are having a central authority taking thing into their hand, i am against mining monopoly by big time miners as everyone who is interested in it must be able to do it and hence i can understand the reason for this fork, but instead of it we have more projects with the same technology but with different principles.
If your project causes the slightest negative emotions or suspicions, it is best not to contact it. Maybe you miss something, but you will not lose it.

Damn! can't even leave for a couple of weeks without all Hell breaking loose  Huh

Just did the walley upgrade and it seems to work ok on the new fork, but now I see we are "blessed" with yet another Monero knock-off (first sumokoin, now "monero classic"). Am I correct in understanding that these two are both copies with own blockchains, and the next lovechild, monerov, will fork off from the present v.7 blockchain?

Also wondering how the drop in hashrate after the fork is going to affect ability to scale and confirmation times going forward?

sumo coin did not started same as "monero classic" or might monerov. It started with genesis block, other two started with as many coins Monero had at time of fork.

Drop in hashrate made first blocks slower. So yesterday after hardfork, Monero was as slow as Bitcoin. Like block every 10 minutes. Now it will ofcourse catch up and blocks will be faster then in 2 minutes until it will get back to normal around 2 minutes a block.


Not sure what should ability to scale have to do with it. Monero block can grow and shrink and is not bottleneck of scaling. It is something else, you should google it.

If no-one puts forth their IRL persona to support any forks (i.e. the monero classic et al. shitspew) then you know it is a scam. Show your face or you're nothing but scammers. No one has, so..scammers.

Don't support this and don't transact on the chains - you might lose out on some quick money, but you will pay dearly over the long run.

I think it has great potential, it's a good idea to carry the cryptocurrency

Currently going to take a while to stabilize whilst miners move to v7 ... the difficulty has already started to come down to adjust to the current block rates with the reduced hash coming in

This article says monero doesnt have replay protection and that same transactions could be replayed on another blockchain.

Does this compromise privacy?
