Since the collapse of Monero, the original Cryptonote coin Bytecoin has emerged as the only cryptonote challenger in the private and anonymous cryptocurrency field.

http://bytecoin.org/

Darkcoin currently holds the top position - it's well developed, has a strong community and a good daily trading volume.

Bytecoin is the challenger - again well developed, strong community (though not on BCT) and is not a clone of any previous coin.

They both have fast blocks, however Bytecoin has a much larger total supply.

It will be interesting to see how the competition between these two develops.

Sorry, but due to past behaviour -  rpietila or Monero devs are not permitted to post on this thread

Oh! Here we go! 

The second that a reasonable thread about Bytecoin appears in the Alts section, the Monero crew jump in with their tired propaganda.

I wonder why they don't just get on and develop their own clone of Bytecoin instead of wasting folks time on BCT with their endless inane threads and topics.

If you hadn't noticed, Fluffy, the market values Bytecoin higher than Monero. Like OP I have a XMR and BCN bag but I am sick and tired of the Monero crew damaging cryptonote.

Yes, I do horoscopes. Would you like my premium rate number for a consultation? 

You are like an arrogant guy with issues who goes around slapping strangers at every opportunity and then crying when a couple of them hit you back.

Well, the market does not agree with you.

Bytecoin has a larger market share than Monero, now. Monero had a good run with all the hype, shills and a couple of vocal developers but it is over now.

Like it or not, Bytecoin is the original cryptonote coin. It has active developers who work closely with the cryptonote team and a strong community. If Monero had not used the mutually assured destruction tactics from the start I am sure it would have had a place in the cryptonote family. However they burned their bridges by being so aggressive and annoying.

Are you saying that U.S.A. has sunk so far towards authoritarian police state that a law abiding person is not allowed to have a private conversation?
Why don't you guys burn your bill of rights amendments on National T.V.? 

Agree. Why put money in a Bytecoin clone that's tanking.
You're better off putting it in Bytecoin itself.

The problem is with the speculators is that they do not care about the tech or infrastructure. All you do is make Monero volatile against BTC and fiat which is not a good thing for it's chances at mass adoption or continued dev.

Same to you, Smooth.

Let's hope 2015 is a good one for crypto's amd especially cryptonotes!

Well, that latest pumps seemed to go splendidly.

How many Monero suckers got burned in the latest dead cat bounce?

Is that all you guys can think to do - lure suckers in with that stupid [XMR] Monero Flatulation moderated thread? You spend a lot of time an effort to keep it on the front page - however I can't believe the same scam works over and over. I guess their is no limit to stupidity and greed.

You know, if invested, this money inflates the value of Ripple. Perhaps the BTC and LTC whales could have made a difference with their coins but they preferred to sit on it.

Given it's reach, exposure and usefulness compared to most other cryptos and combined with the obvious BTC POW issues, yes I do.

25$ to open a Ripple account will start to look like a bargain soon.

No

Just take a look at the infrastructure and investment going into XRP - Ripple will be the next crypto rocket to the moon. I think we could see 1$ within a few months. ASIC POW is now dying fast - Industrial miners will give up and BTC price will reflect this.

You have your cause and effect confused here. This was not a coordinated attack on Monero at all. It was a reaction to all the useless threads spamming up BCT-Alt, cordinated trolling in nearly every thread unrelated to Monero and the intransigence of the Monero devs either encouraging this (Smooth) or denying it (Fluffypony).

It's much better now. Even Smooth (despite still jumping into other CTN coin threads) seems to have mellowed. However there still appears to be, either a bot or some saddo XMR shills, who immediately bump a random 'official XMR' thread with an inane one liner the second a 'competitor' CTN coin thread appears on the front page.

Another what? !

Reasonable fears of a Poloniex customer that have been allayed by the community
or
Exchange?

I, myself never had a problem with Poloniex and wouldbe happy to use them in the future. Having said that I am not a whale so I never deposit more than 1BTC anyway.

Sort of reminds me of the rant Max Keiser recently did against the financial 'regulators'. I agree with the sentiment. Instead of this 'crony capitalist' model where there only exists obfuscation and opacity with the illusion of 'regulators' (who are in fact just more of the cronies) we should demand true markets with knowledge and competition available to all. The policies of Western countries are looking more like Stalinist USSR every year.

Whilst the above would be nice I actually think that implementing an ability to use 'lite' version of the blockchain would be very advantageous. I can't really see that mobile or embedded daemons are possible without something like this?

Woah! Somebody moved the thread? 

How will that work, exactly? Short of switching off the internet.

LOL!  A $900 T-Shirt! Does anyone fall for this stupidity?
