Once Monero has a GUI, I doubt I will ever use Bitcoin again. Monero will be superior in every possible way. (Except maybe user base and market cap at first, but that can be resolved  ) Everytime I read that "monero no gui blabla" rhetoric, it makes me MAAAAAAAAAAAAD So Monero has a GUI. Even several GUIs. Here's one of them: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=683365.0The dev has been interviewed in the last missive. And if you tell me blabla no official gui, do you even use bitcoin official gui? Yes, I do. Except for mobile devices. I will do the same for Monero. |

To buy what lol Anything that I would have otherwise used Bitcoin for? I guess that depends on the state of the cryptocurrency economy. |

Zerocash is abject garbage. No matter how they set it up, you'll have to trust the developers to destroy a key that would otherwise allow for the creation of infinite coins. DOA even if turns out not to be vaporware.

No any re-brand. Monero is a phenomenal brand name precisely because it connotes money, cash, currency in a multitude of languages.
I actually think Monero has the best name of any cryptocurrency. The association with money is immediate and, as you said, carries over to many languages. |

There was a study on why doesn't selfish behavior pervade society if selfish behavior has the most benefits--they used bats as one study group. Bats share food with neighbor bats when they find a food source. The scientist fed certain bats, but did not let them share the food to see how the group would behave. The group reacted by not sharing food with the "selfish" bats. And while I feel sorry for the bats in the study because they were ostracized by the scientist's actions and not their own--i don't feel sorry for when it happens to humans. The larger your stake in Monero, the more it makes sense to give back towards the success of the project. Even Nash is on record that game theory is lacking when talking about human interactions. Probably being institutionalized gave him the insight that not all human actions are rational or can fit into the context of game theory.
Meh, I'm selfish. You guys can donate, and I'll get the benefits of those donations if XMR ends up succeeding. If I did donate, I'd only donate directly to Fluffypony, as he's the only one on the XMR team that I like  |

Then donate some of the xmr to the devs or learn to code. Criticizing the devs is doing what? You think they're all beholden to your opinion? Like your a shareholder? They are volunteers! With lives! Opinions! And have every right to do what they want they aren't working on the project. Fluffy alone has donated over $300K in manpower hours to Monero. Have you donated a single hour?
 I can still gain all the benefits, even if I choose not to share. |

https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/people --more devs than you can shake an angry troll stick at, and they're volunteers not paid by an instamine, but go on trying to sell your concern pericope like a two bit trial lawyer. Also, if they believe x-dark-dash is a fraud, they have every right, and I applaud them for it, to call it so. Your concern trolling is very appreciated--you obviously put a lot of time and effort into it. ... I guran-fucking-tee it. .............. Its confirmed. Look at my post history and confirm when I got involved with Darkcoin I got my coins at a rate of around 5000 per BTC  And I believe in diversification. |

Your concern trolling is very appreciated--you obviously put a lot of time and effort into it. Buddy, I have more XMR than you, I guran-fucking-tee it. And I'm actively bringing new investors in, so please stfu about concern trolling. It's true that I have Dash as well, but my only concern is to see the development of the best technology. I just think that devs should be coding, not arguing with idiots on a forum. |

Wonder if Vertoe will contribute to XMR instead? Need some more devs who care more about building the coin than pointing out the flaws in the competition. For the life of me I can't understand it. They say that Dash is fundamentally flawed, yet they continue to spend their time arguing about it. Imagine if scientists spent more time arguing with crazy evolution skeptics than doing actual science? Nothing would ever get done. You have core devs, whose time is of the utmost value, arguing with internet trolls. It's absurd.

I don't think toknormal should have much reason to doubt himself, considering he was called one of the most astute members of this entire forum by Anonymint, who is himself a genius when it comes to math and cryptography.

is the instamine scamcoin known as DARK/DASH still closed source?
as long as that shit is closed source, I will never own a single coin.
It went open source like 6 months ago. |

LOL, sorry Smooth, but this is hilariously true.  |
|

Lul. Brand new account angry about something that was never a secret.
|

In case you don't know, the SHA-256 algorithm used by Bitcoin was designed by the NSA. They fund tons of cryptographic research. The fact that something was designed by the NSA does not imply that it is compromised or insecure. |

If Monero sees success, we'll look back at this like the 10,000 Bitcoin pizza |
|
|

If and only if you are dealing exclusively with sophisticated investors then I don't see a problem with it.
Isn't this basically what Rpietilla does with his whale pod? |

I sent my mom some bitcoin in early 2013, she enjoyed the run.
Now she asks me, "is Monero better than Bitcoin?"
I'd say yes, by an order of magnitude, if only you guys had an official GUI and I didn't have to load the blockchain into RAM. |

See above.
Hint: that is only true if you denominate returns in DRK
The term Ponzi scheme refers to a very specific type of scam. One where current investors' gains are paid from funds contributed by new investors. Are you somehow involving inflation? |
|
|
|
Let's assume hypothetically that holding DRK is riskless. In that case you have a riskless investment that has a return on equity of about 10%. Since that is obviously absurd, something must be wrong with this analysis.
It's often hard to argue with people about ponzi schemes because it seems like it should work and proving that it won't is difficult because we don't know the exact mechanism of failure in advance.
How exactly is Darkcoin a Ponzi scheme? The payment comes from block reward, not from new participants. |
