Interestingly - someone on 4chan pointed out that Monero dropped pretty harshly and never recovered after Anonymint released his theoretical attack vectors on Monero.
I dug thru it all, read the dev responses and it seems more of a marketing ploy for the coin he's planning to release. Which might be a great deal - time will tell. It always makes sense to read and try to comprehend the most severe critics esp in this space.
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@anonymint/is-monero-s-or-all-anonymity-brokenDoes anyobody really take Shelby seriously among the older users in this forum. Sometimes it feels like he's on something everytime he makes one of those long ass posts with the quotes and all.
And do you think he's really capable of building a 'good' cryptocurrency? The only other crypto I'm looking forward to is Bram Cohen's.
Interesting enough the mining difficulty seems to grow steadily, so the miners didn't give up on Monero.
Some take Shelby seriously, some not, but his theory,
if proven, is bad. I am not smart enough for this, I don't have enough time to read that much and my English is rather limited. So I don't know..
On the other side, at 0.011
BTC, Monero is interesting to look at. If it recovers "back to normal" that's a +50%..+100% return for whoever invests/speculates on it.
