Very interesting! Good to hear another point of view. Thank you very much! I must admit that I was being affected by this FUD, and think I should perhaps change my mind.
Notice how all my comments are vote-brigaded down. Unfortunately, the xmr community has a history of FUD and brigading. That's what made me come here. They have mods in high places too
Yup. They are very trollish. Someone in r/btc told me the dragon's den and xmr community came from the same place. They're very toxic. Yeah we share the same freedom goals most def.
I used to own Monero along with the other privacy coins, but I sold it all due to their toxic behavior. Monero is actually the weakest of privacy coins anyway tho so no worries.
Fluffy Pony (Spokesperson of Monero) lost all his credibility when he started spitting on #BCH and posing on photos with Greg "Judas" Maxwell. #Monero was created for illegal botnets.
Have way bigger anon-sets than XMR. Plus the timing analyses and all the bugs means it was probably created with 'backdoors' to allow for easy deanoning.
I wouldn't touch the stuff for any reason, esp. privacy. Dash anon set is 81 at 4 rounds, and 6561 at 8 rounds. PIVX is like 14 mil. ZCash is like 3 million etc all other privacy coins
I've heard from at least two members of r/btc that Monero was created as a honeypot. Now that I know the history of its privacy, anon-set 0 then 3 then 5 now 7, which is really low
