Monero does not need a GUI, it's great for those who are experienced in the alt coin world and care about their anonymity more than the rest.
U are very wrong my nifty boy. A GUI is sine qua non even for the worst of shitcoins. How can u talk about being the best privacy coin if u dont even have official GUI. That sounds like a really bad joke ~CfA~ Monero's privacy is the best because it's 100% fungible. GUI has nothing to do with privacy. Where do you get such a silly idea?  Decred doesn't have a GUI. ETH didn't for a while either. You are stupid for expecting cutting-edge crypto to be instantly available at the click of a button, rather than the traditional command line beginning. The lady doth protest too much, methinks. |

Can't anyone understand that any agression towards Spain wouldn't result in a Spain - UK conflict but in a EU - UK conflict. And EU has nuclear power and doesn't need USA agreements to use it. Spain would be the aggressor if they tried to take Gibraltar by force, defying the rule of law as defined by a 400 year old treaty. It's not going to happen. Get over it. Britannia and America rule the waves, not Brussels.  According to legend, the Goddess's trident was bestowed upon her by the great Iron Lady and Ronaldus Maximus.... |

The majority of the miners think there is a hack are colluding to attack the network and blacklist transactions.
i.e. There is now a DAO hack in progress I hope this blacklisting hack is stopped by the "attacker." He's a better digital contract lawyer than Team Blacklist. If counterprotocol blacklisting is possible, I don't see DAO and ETH working until that bug is fixed. It apprears the problem is the DAO/ETH tokens aren't 100% fungible. Maybe use Monero for the value/token transfer layer(s), once it has multisig and colored coins? Or VB can add the Monero-style ring signatures he mentioned. https://www.reddit.com/r/ethereum/comments/3tappe/early_alpha_monerolike_linkable_ring_signatures/Until then, the systems suffer from the overhead of possible fraud and may again cut themselves on your razor. Only systems that are structurally incompatible with fraud don't suffer from the overhang of potential fraud. |

spain is still a powerful country so it can take over gibraltar. i think we will see its happening very soon.
It's more likely Spain will be taken over by Morocco and go back to being Andalusia.  |

Pff...
You do understand that UK army is shit compared to France plus Germany? And are you even aware that France got tactical nukes too? But that it doesn't need the agreement of USA to use it (contrary to UK).
EU is a military alliance before anything else. Try to attack Spain and your country will be destroyed before you can think about it again.
The British army is shit, but the Spanish army is even worse. And additionally, the Brits have nuclear weapons and the Spaniards don't even have thermobaric bombs. However, there is a geographic advantage to Spain. Gibraltar is located in the Western Mediterranean, and it will be difficult for the Brits to move their troops to Gibraltar. Like the foolish macho Pernonistas, some people really believe there's no iron fist in the Queen's velvet glove. That is intentional. BAF include SBS, SAS, and Gurkhas. Bad idea to mess with guys with a knife named after them.  Spain isn't going to get Gibraltar. Suggesting otherwise is just another way for sore losers whining about Brexit to express their butthurt and poutrage. |

Isn't everyone getting a little ahead of themselves predicting nuclear war here?
Yup. Especially as most of the european countries are underfunding their defence budgets and begging the UK to send troops to defend against the wicked Russians. No-one has sided with Spain over Gibraltar for over 300 years... AHAHAHA REKT. These witless Millennials are the worst, no how bad "old fags" like Corbyn may be. They're all " But muh EU  we need it to promote environmental and social and economic justice and stawp global woarming and racism!!1! " |

France won't and German can't? You think after UK leaving the EU members won't answer a call of arms from a member against UK? Come, if you want war it's easy to go. EU was here to prevent war, so war seems like the only real possibility after leaving. And if you like facts so much go check this ranking and tell me again that France plus Germany plus Spain is not enough to put UK back to its place. http://www.globalfirepower.com/countries-listing-europe.aspGerman armed forces are neutered, per their post WW2 constitution. France has no national interest in helping reclaim Gibraltar. Doing so would be against it, as it goes against the principles of diplomacy to assist Spain in reneging on their perpetual concession. UK's Navy is top notch; Thatcher saw to that after the (relative) difficulty of retaking the Falklands. Spain's Navy would quickly join its antecedent Armada on the seafloor, in Davy Jones' Locker. Comparing Falklands to a fight against whole Europe... That's why old people shouldn't vote.
"Whole Europe" would not help Spain go back on its word, in violation of longstanding Treaty. |

what is gibraltar's status? is it a full part of the uk or a crown dependency like the channel islands?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GibraltarAn Anglo-Dutch force captured Gibraltar from Spain in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession on behalf of the Habsburg pretender to the Spanish throne. The territory was subsequently ceded to Britain "in perpetuity" under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713.Gibraltarians overwhelmingly rejected proposals for Spanish sovereignty in a 1967 referendum and again in 2002. Under the Gibraltar constitution of 2006, Gibraltar governs its own affairs, though some powers, such as defence and foreign relations, remain the responsibility of the Government of the United Kingdom. FYI, "in perpetuity" means "forever" not "until we change our minds." Case closed. If Madrid.gov wants to create conflict over Gibraltar as a distraction from their own sorry state of affairs, they will enjoy the same measure of success as the Peronistas did with the Falklands. |

You do understand that UK army is shit compared to France plus Germany?
Yah, that's what the corrupt warmongering regime in Argentina told their people when they decided to invade the Falklands. How's that working for the Peronistas? How's that working for all the dead sailors at the bottom of the sea rotting in the wrecked Belgrano? France won't, and German can't, do anything about Spain's hilarious request to annex Gibraltar, any more than Morocco can take the islands off its coast from Spain. You can accept history, or you can deal with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Navy_Submarine_Service#Active_submarinesSpain's armed forces are great at pushing around Africans. Beating Her Majesty's armed forces and reversing 400 years of UK sovereignty? Not so much.... |

I don't have words to respond to you. Just hope I never see you in real life. You are sick person. Very sick. The first part of not responding is to make sure you aren't responding. Poor internet tough guy. You've never had to deal with someone who can effortlessly/gleefully control the narrative despite your voluminous competing attempts, and now you don't know what to do, except threaten and pout. |

What are they going to do, send out the Spanish Armada to take it? OH WAIT.... UK should consider Spain's demand an act of war, and drop tactical nukes on .gov held areas of Madrid until they agree to STFU. And that goes double for Buenos Aires. I'm so sick of the endless, over-entitled demands of the Papist nations for free shit. LMK when Spain returns Perejil and the Chafarinas to Morocco, as Rabat demands.  |

Oh don't worry for me. I pay my tax and can work anywhere in the world. It's just incredibly sad to see the gerontocracy in action...
And old people can't even imagine the impact of a Brexit as they never went out of their village. Anyone with some education knows the importance of EU in research, foreign exchange and education...
Well, at least USA will be more than happy to keep invading UK so you won't be completely alone I guess.
Why are you blaming the Brexit vote for showing up, instead of holding the lazy Bremain voters accountable for failing make their way to the polls? It may be shocking to you, but the UK has not always been in the EU. There are other ways to do things besides being ruled by unaccountable Eurocrats in Brussels. Your rude, ugly caricature of Brexit votes as elderly and parochial is offensive; I'm sure Nigel Farage is more educated and well-traveled (IE more cosmopolitan) than you. And don't forget why (if you ever knew) why Enoch Powell was nicknamed "The Professor." I'm not sure how the USA is "invading" the UK. We are NATO allies. As WC said, "Americans and British are one people separated only by a common language."  |

+1 Dash has no plan for a dynamic blocksize; hardforking is required every single time it is adjusted up or down.
Here we go again. Put that information in your thread. You don't need to chase every coin thread on the forum to create flame wars. If DASH initiates that shit, we who matter will ignore them. Are you that afraid that no one will bother to notice the feature, because maybe that feature isn't the first priority for everyone. What matters in the end is your community and your adoption. If your project can't generate that without attacking other coins, then that says something about your coin's importance. This thread is about answering the question "Honestly, which is better? Monero or Dash?" Part of an honest answer to the question recognizes Monero solved the dynamic blocksize problem two years ago, while Dash has to adjust manually with hardforks and arbitrary magic numbers. |

Unfortunately the entire project suffers when you don't disown the bomb throwers.
Remember I fought rpietila when he was preaching that shit. And finally you all disowned him and that Monero Foundation (or what ever it was called, where they were naming themselves individually as Goat of Shire Monero and some hierarchy of reputation/power structure). But you haven't yet disowned these other asshurls who drive your community reputation into the dirt.
I had an amicable, cordial exchange with fluffypony in the XMR chat earlier in the week.
Btw, your key cryptographer shen-noether was also an asshurl to me when I tried to do some peer review in Reddit on your early revision of RingCT. And note I was incredibly ill at that time and he showed no understanding whatsoever for the brain state I was in due to my illness. Just all condescending shit.
And then your community tried to paint me as a whiner, self-important prima donna, or otherwise attack my reputation. Mighty fine community you have there.
Attacked me also because I said I didn't want to work for free as a volunteer. It was always their way or the highway. Join us else you are doomed because they claim to have the best and the brightest. Always sellling yourselves as a 20 year Manhattan Project instead of letting your accomplishments do the talking.
This is artful trolling. Annoymint's satire cannot match your gift for generating inflammatory, self-contradicting schizophrenic lunacy. We get it; when you're not going off the deep end you're up on your Cross. Enjoy the endless cycle of mania and depression.  When you come off the "holier decentralized more than thou" pedestal, remember to stop forking Monero periodically because forking is centralized control over the block chain.
Point is, nothing is perfect but surely all this verbal dung that is flung over all isn't good for us. It isn't good for our cortisol levels. It isn't good for our cooperation. It isn't good for our humanity.
We aren't baboons. We are humans.
We can strive for decentralization but it shouldn't be used as an excuse to support rabid communities that make the entire process here such a pita. At my age, it is no longer exhilarating to cross swords over trivial matters. It is exhausting. I reserve my effort for that which matters. I was also guilty of what I am now arguing against. I did mea culpa.
Any way, we know some "I know everything, but I don't"1 like r0ach will make some incorrect sweeping claims again. It is impossible to prevent that. I think eventually I will go hide in my own project's official thread (if ever that comes to fruition).
1 And I've been guilty of that offense also.
(btw, I don't totally disrespect r0ach and he has in some of this forum threads made some points worth considering, but I think I am learning that trying to dominate the forum and everybody else is not a good strategy. He makes mistakes in his absolutism.)
Another brilliant post. Thank you for coming here and writing these words. Such a unique take on the powerful New Age Hustle technique! You are teaching me so much about Jedi level trolling.  When I made a statement about the Monero community, it wasn't a personal attack on you.
When I wrote that you are a "hypocrite", it was a factual statement because you advocated that your community can't (or shouldn't) apply censorship, yet you do in your Monero Speculation thread and besides I wasn't asking your community to censor. I rather suggested to your community you might want to tell this rabid dog to fuck off, because he continues driving your community reputation into the dirt: THIS WAS a personal attack on me. You called ME a hypocrite. I don't actually give a crap because it is baseless nonsense. Especially since I did not start the thread you are talking about, and have absolutely nothing to do with it's moderation. I made a factual statement, as I already explained to you. Look how you Monero weasels weasel. No culpability for your actions whatsoever. Look how you draw highly intelligent people in to your typhoon of drama, arguing like a drunk couple having a fight about who first started calling names and which one is a hypocrite. It's really amazing and impressive. Perhaps you have the first communicable case of mental illness? Crazy virus patient zero? |

In a stunning coincidence, segwit was merged just in time for the On-chain Scaling conference's first day. I think the exact time might have been when Peter_R's amateur comedy routine started.  Haven't seen someone get REKT that bad since Sansa emerged as the Hammer of Winterfell. |

At today's On-chain Scaling conference, fluffypony gave an excellent talk about the importance and types of dynamic blocksizes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM2ra-LzMQk&feature=youtu.beMonero has successfully used a dynamic blocksize for over two years, proving its resiliency and ability to respond nimbly by surviving DDOS attacks. Dash has no plan for a dynamic blocksize; hardforking is required every single time it is adjusted up or down. |

Ouch. I had to have an involuntary chuckle at that and I've a cracked rib right now from a fall I took on rollerblades the other day. Could you not do any more jokes please, or at least make sure they're to your usual standard  Oops, the post you enjoyed was deleted. Funny how a responsive (and amusing!) post about the new DailyDash show gets removed, while the off-topic BREXIT chat and TaoSpam are left to clutter the thread. Perhaps it was reported by a bagholder that is very grumpy about today's -13.44% DashCrash?Does Dash have a plan to move away from fixed block sizes? It seems dynamic blocksizing has more advantages, based on the talk given at today's On-Chain Scaling conference. |

Well well, I am very surprised. Looks like the British grew some balls.
Congrats on breaking the chains of the EU.
Absolutely not what happened. What happened is only that old stupid fags of UK were more numerous than the youngs. So the old have power in a referendum. And as every old fags they're too dumb and too stupidily nostalgic about the "old times" so they imposed Brexit to younger generations even if they'll have to live 60 years with this decision while the stupid old people will live only 10 years with that... We just need to ponderate the votes. The older you are the less your vote should count! If you've never paid taxes you shouldn't get to tell those who have how to spend their money. Witless Millennials (think Occupy and Berners), brainwashed by ruined schools, feel very strongly about how great the EU is and how like, totally not-cool old people from UKIP are. But they are too lazy to show up on voting day. OTOH, adults with decades of experience living in the EU Worker's Paradise are sick to the gills of it, and wish better for their children. According to all the polls, the longer you've watched the EU ruin the UK the more you want a Brexit. Don't waste all your salt today. Save plenty for the coming Frexit, Finnish, Quitaly, Byerland, etc. |

Guys, what's wrong with DASH? When BTC started to dump i moved half of my funds to DASH but now it is lower than my enter.
This is the best explanation I've seen: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=999886.0
I've just found out there's a Brexit situation.
Typical low information voter. |
