Privacy is one pf the hardest things to achieve in computer security, so I'm amazed at how many claim it. Xspec needs to explain how they are going to achieve anonymous staking or be one more coin in a long line of vaporware.
I agree with above and at the moment I am not happy with available solutions. There isn't a single coin which is hitting all my sweet spots. That being said I believe that 2018 will be the year for privacy coins so I am expecting that new projects will emerge and existing ones will improve on their tech. This will be very competitive field inside crypto. Whatever proof he has can be posted here. This shouldn't require people going to slack to talk to a dev. And I suggest no one do this as they will likely try to talk around the issue with buzzwords. And frankly, the fact that you can't explain it yourself makes me think you do not understand how it's achieved, which means you are pimping based on the hopeful presumption that it will work. Be chimerical on your own dime. Those are only assumptions. Such a statement goes completely against your logic of facts over FUD. You have also generalized this based on your experiences perhaps. If I could tell you how this would be achieved, would you even understand? Look at a Spectrecoin chart and look at my post history, you'll find I've been very chimerical for this whole forum by only enforcing this currency. https://icostats.com/roi-since-icoShow me the code or stfu. A white paper or code would suffice as facts, absent that you are selling hopium. See how efficient I am? Also, you should look up chimerical. It means vainly or fantastically hopeful, so saying, "you'll find I've been very chimerical for this whole forum by only enforcing this currency." isn't a good thing and goes to my point. |

Monero is king as it's now, but Spectrecoin might be the future in the privacy coins area.

I don't think there is much opportunities for growth for Monero(XMR) it is close to 400 dollars 6 billion market cap. If you think it can beat Ether go for it, but I personally will sell every XMR I have (which I dont  ) Centralization is the glue that holds eth together--no doubt ethtards spend a lot of time huffing it to blur their depth perception. Monero is still the only digital cash. |

I'm so confused as to why IOTA hasn't gone up in value in the past couple of weeks/days. They're partnered with a ton of reputable and large companies here in the US yet their value have remained stable. While on the other hand, you see a ton of shit coins rising 50-100% in the past week. Can anyone explain this to me?
Depends on which shitcoins you are talking about--it doesn't take much to move a coin out of the top 100. A few million in trades can send a lowercap coin spiraling upwards, though there is the inevitable dump. IOTA has held a 1000% (0.35<-->3.50) gain since the anouncements, so unless you expect things to go up indefinately, which is impossible given a finite money supply, it's a quality gain. I believe you will see IOTA in the top 3 when another big piece of news hits, possibly Q (though no one will confirm what Q is, so hard to speculate on how big it will be, personally I'm excited to see hard wallet support and dedicated processors--the latter may be Q). |

At the risk of sounding lazy, can someone give me the differences between XRB and IOTA?
The short answer: XRB is focused on the developed and already crowded P2P market, IOTA the nascent and sparsely populated M2M market. Here's a long answer: https://hackernoon.com/iota-vs-raiblocks-413679bb4c3e |

All this recent negativity just freak me out a bit. It is like the magic 1k gap is getting further and further away
There are no straight path to the moon. Yes, once you reach escape velocity and shut off the rockets you follow an elliptical trajectory... until the moon's gravitational field starts to exert an effect. Three body problem. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-body_problemthere is no general closed-form solution for every condition and numerical methods are needed to solve these problems.Sometimes it does feel like we are drifting through space...................... |

Due to the instability of prices, there is currently no currency that can be used for buying things, without the buyer feeling regret and remorse a few weeks later... Prices needs to be more stable and then the currencies can be used...
AFAIK Globee allows for fast conversion to fiat, so unless you are choosing to hodl, volatility shouldn't be a factor. |

I thought it was good for transactions where you aren't already served by credit cards. |

If you want them to them to stfu, just ask them where is the whitepaper or code proving that they solved anonymous staking. They'll try to offload you to slack so a dev can minimize the damage and do it in a nonpublic way.
The reality is if they had solved it, it would blasted on every news outlet and they would have the required math ready for cryptographers to analyze--the fact they want to talk around the issue is a red flag in and of itself.
The conversation should be,
You: "Do you have proof that you solved anonymous staking?"
Them: "Yes, here is the whitepaper outlining how we solved it with the required math. You can analyze it for yourself."
You, "Thank you, I will do that."
These are math based systems, not promised based systems.

We have come along way when people query was is the price so low at $500  It's not about where it is in 'USD value now', it's if it can out perform BTC in the market. Marketcap isn't really a good metric to measure how good a cryptocurrency is, but as speculators, you want yours to be the best performing coin in the market, out pacing every coin and moving up the ladder. + pulling the charts out far enough to see the overall performance relative to BTC. A short enough timeframe will validate any number of absurd claims, positive or negative. |

Honestly, IOTA has violated the first rule of cryptography. Its meant to be a peer-reviewed process that filters out all the issues. The IOTA community also doesn't handle criticism very well, which is not something that I like to see. When all the technical experts in the world tell me there are red flags everywhere, I refrain from buying this coin and so should you. I do, however, hope I will be proven wrong and look forward to their developments So you didn't bother to read--they never violated a rule of cryptography. The Foundation's rebuttal points out that the "cryptographic vulnerability" described by MIT Media Lab basically requires an attacker to simultaneously know things they can't know, do things they can't do, then convince a user with an extremely high degree of technical proficiency to intentionally sabotage themselves. Those same experts shit on every crypto that enters the top ten without their blessing, so take it with a grain of salt. Both Lee and Todd overreacted to Monero when it was first brought to their attention and have since changed their stance--is this because they eventually saw the light or are content Monero is not a direct threat is anyone's guess. Whenever there is a vested interest, it's hard to separate fact from fiction, even by those who would identify themselves as honest. What's great about IOTA is that it doesn't need this good ol boys club of crypto to bless them--enough corporations with interest in seeing IOT develop in their lifetimes trumps early adopters and their agendas. As for taking criticism badly--some of us hate misinformation more than how we might look criticizing it. At the end of the day, none of this matters as the better product will win, always--one of the tenets of cryptocurrency is that it can be analytically proven which is best and you don't have to trust an authority to validate what you should use. I'm just getting annoyed with how much bullshit I have to sling through to get at the reality. I feel like a lot of people owe me my research time back and I'll be glad if they are the ones who suffer because of their willingness to engage in a smear campaign. |

Even though this project has large pumps and dumps, the project in general remains very promising. If you think about the idea of the project, you can conclude that this project can be one of the best projects to improve people's lives.
Large pump and dumps? It's kept most of its value since it shot up on the heels of the Fujitsu and Bosch news. Remember, it was 0.35 when this thread started--it's still 10x that. |

IOTA with the internet of the thing technology is an big invention of human. Its platform can be used by many corporations in the world. You should buy and hold it in this year.
A bit of an overstatement. I do admit it has some merit and that has been appreciated by the market, but there is always a competitor in software and Raiblocks is now on the rearview mirror and getting closer. They are not competitors. Here's why: Is there any connection of IOTA to Bitfinex? Because the currency represented only on Bitfinex (among big exchanges)
It's also on Binance, which is a large exchange. As for a conection, I don't think any more of a conection other than Bitfinix is a place to trade cryptos and IOTA is a crypto. I've a feeling that connections are playing limited impact on people's psychology these days, except for the very very young newcomers who'll not recognize that all exchanges eventually end up like each other (look at Binance for example) and that once they get big, you just need to pay them a fee to get listed. Of course the benefit of being able to trade a coin quickly on a variety of platforms will do good for the price, but this has little impact on the long term. Can you imagine even XRB is now competing with Iota? What's with people thinking XRB and IOTA are competitors? M2M (IOTA's goal) and P2P (RaiBlock's goal) are not the same thing. If anything XRB is competing with Ripple and the thousands of other currencies flooding the P2P market. The similarity comes from both being DAG coins That's a shallow similarity as their endusers are different, which is why I wrote, "What's with people thinking XRB and IOTA are competitors? M2M (IOTA's goal) and P2P (RaiBlock's goal) are not the same thing." This would be like saying Bitcoin and Monero are both anonymous because they use POW. If you are saying that people are shallow and don't know what they are talking about and their ignorance is the culprit of why they keep making the comparison--you wouldn't get any disagreement for me. I was asking for the human root, not the continued basis on which the presumption is inaccurately built upon. |

I still don't understand how Korea can be so completely out of whack with the rest of the market.
Foreign exchange controls. Meaning? They can’t get their money out? Meaning it isn't cut and dry arbitrage--hurdles exist to make your gains nonexistant or delayed or even negative. You'd have to investigate the exact controls involved and adjust your expectations accordingly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foreign_exchange_controls |
