Monerro is the best there is no doubt about it in my mind they even hired a guy from bitcoin core to work as a dev on privacy part and you could see the results of his work on the current price.Xzc and other zero proof protocol can be hacked(this already happend to xzc and smart cash) so i wouldnt put my trust on it.Xvg and deep onion use tor for privacy that is already obsolete and for spec coin i doubt that anything will happen with it as its still in beta phase
Let's not forget that Monero has had to, supposedly, deal with exploits as well. It's not whether or not it CAN be hacked, but how fast those exploits can be fixed. https://www.bitsonline.com/monero-exploit-threatens-privacy/IP data is not tx data--that's the difference between on-chain anonymity and bolting TOR onto a coin and calling it anonymous. On-chain is the more difficult of the two, and any user can do the second themselves. Of course you would have known that yourself if you has read the comments in that article or understood how Monero achieves privacy or had known that you can use TOR or I2p with Bitcoin and be more anonymous (more tx=more noise) than a coin like verge which bolted on TOR and called it a day. But thanks for proving you don't know what you are talking about. At no point was it my intention to distinguish between the two. I'm not entirely sure why you are trying to stawman me into an argument. And no, I seldom read comments in articles. Reading comments on articles is a surefire way for me to lose faith that reasonable discourse still exists. If you somehow took the fact that I pointed out that Monero has had flaws in the past and was able to fix them as an affront to your character resulting in your defensiveness, I assure you it wasn't directed towards you. There's no reason to be zealous with me. I own and support Monero. I think it's a fine crypto. I just don't understand why so many supporters of Monero become insanely aggressive against other privacy coins as if Monero was the only coin able to attain a certain greatness. I also don't mean this as an insult but your response read like the comic book guy from the Simpsons and I reread it in that voice and laughed a lot. Thanks for that. I don't think you know what a strawman is. I merely pointed out how you were wrong and were helping to spread misinformation. Don't really care how you feel about it. Accept the criticism or don't. Which part was an incorrect statement (misinformation) because I only made two? 1. That Monero supposedly has to deal with exploits? or 2. That speed of repairing exploits is more important than the exploit itself? You weren't arguing either of these things, because they are both true. You are creating a strawman that is misrepresenting the statements I've made so that you have something to attack. You didn't merely point out an inaccuracy; both of the aforementioned statements are true but somehow you've misinterpreted what I was saying as "Monero is bad," which is quite the opposite. So you aren't "criticizing." If my intention came across as something more than what was literally stated I apologize. But you're lashing out. And inappropriately, in my opinion, because my words shouldn't pose a threat to you or Monero at all. Here is some actual criticism for you: Your post has some misdirected rage. but in your defense I find this to be a common trait of Monero users in forums. My criticism to the Monero community: We don't need to act like this ^: Creating arguments when there are none, or defending (in an aggressive and insulting manner) a coin that doesn't need our defense, being a "dick" in general. We all know Monero is solid there are no threats here. 1 + 2 are irrelevant if the exploit doesn't matter. You should read my original reply--apparently you didn't understand what I was saying or don't understand what the article you linked was implying about how cryptocurrencies achieve privacy. Monero offers on-chain anonymity--it's not an exploit if you don't use it with TOR or I2p as your IP data isn't TX data. And if you live in a country where you need IP masking, you should already know that you need to use TOR or I2p with every coin and that it is trivial to implement. As for your statements about me--please see ad hominem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem All I've said about you is that you don't know what you are talking about, which you seem intent on reproving ad nauseum. Yes you did say that, "I didn't know what I was talking about" and you keep saying that AND I still don't see what I said that was wrong or why you are continuing to come at me. You can say they are irrelevant, I suppose, These issues were fixed very rapidly if my recollection is correct. I was speaking in favor of MOnero and any coin that can rapidly correct any possible problems. So perhaps this is a failure in communication. And I'm very familiar with AdHominem. The only thing I've said about you is that your post has misdirected rage which is really no different than you saying I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm not attacking your character, I haven't called you any names. Shit, I don't know your character to make an ad hominem attack at you. So... again... Address the strawman please and tell me what you think Ad Hominem means because it doesn't run parallel to my understanding of that term. Implying that my post are "misdirected rage" is ad hominem. Also, no strawman--unless you still fail to understand that the exploit in the article (that you linked) is not an exploit. Apparently you still don't understand my point. So I'll stop wasting my time and keep reposting another person's explanation until you get it. https://themerkle.com/moneros-ip-address-leak-isnt-an-exploit-and-doesnt-affect-anonymity/Oh that? No there was no implication there. I "said" that, I didn't "imply" it. I'm not saying you are wrong or bad for having misdirected rage in your post, just that your post has misdirected rage. That's not ad hominem. NOW I guess I can say YOU don't know what you're talking about LOLOL... but I won't do that. I'm pretty sure we are missing eachothers' points though. I hope your day gets better. It would go better if people would do their own research and stop posting debunked articles and then say I was "misdirecting rage" when I pointed out that the article was false and posting it proved that A. they're disingenuous or B. they don't understand how coin's achieve anonymity or C. they just post stuff and hope they are right, but attack someone when they are proved wrong. Again, go back to my first post and accept it, rather than go down many roads of disinformation to attempt to hide the fact that you are responsible for the Bullshit you post--whether you like it or not. |

|
on: December 18, 2017, 08:07:46 PM

I am surprised at the level of research people have been doing. Someone mentioned to me its the hot new thing, microsoft is onboard with cisco etc. So then I went to check.
I checked, lots of talk about working with other companies, and this is everywhere, but the suspicious thing is it is all only from IOTA team. Not a single statement of support from their so called partners. Cisco is mentioned in this very thread, but i can't find any evidence that cisco is involved. No press statement, etc. Can someone please provide these? Maybe my skills just suck, but all it seems like is terrible journalists blindly reporting IOTA press releases without getting statements from the 'partners' on what they intend to use them for.
I also then discovered some big bugs where the network has failed.
I then read of the concerns of the network scaling, the ease of attack, etc. and the Tangle network being highly unproven.
Then finally, I read that its theoretical and its not actually working yet outside of a lab environment.
Then i have my own thoughts, such as the sheer expense of mining on the clients. We are talking about a highly, highly restrictive space here where devices need to be efficient. If this is for IoT devices that have no memory, power, run ASIC type processing, etc, why would an expensive network like this be of value? The use-case targeted doesn't shout blockchain at me, in fact distributed consensus is a very expensive process.
Therefore my predictions are:
1. People continue not to research and dump money in it, it will go up until it collapses when someone that everyone reads points out its BS. Forbes, Economist, etc. just takes a journalist that isn't a web blogger (no offence to web bloggers, some of them do a fantastic job, but that means they won't work for these big useless clickbait companies)
2. People continue not to research and dump money in it, it will go up and the IOTA team use the money to condense the vapour into something that exists, and it holds for a little while.
Putting money into it is like playing a broken casino machine, but in the house's favour.
I could be wrong and perhaps didn't find information required to be informed because of bad googling, but I am completely unconvinced.
I'm not going to bother discussing attack vectors with you--you can go onto stack exchange for those discussions or ping ComeFromBeyond and let him make you look like an ass. BUT what I will do is expand your research reading so your concerns (trollish as they are) can be put to rest. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/mind-in-the-machine/201712/how-fear-is-being-used-manipulate-cryptocurrency-marketshttps://blog.iota.org/iotas-data-marketplace-setting-the-record-straight-576fbf0b4513Bonus material: the CEO of Fujitsu Central Europe talking about Iota https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLzLTWwO26s&feature=youtu.beBonus 2: found ComeFromBeyond's "easy to understand" guide to attacks https://blog.iota.org/equilibria-in-the-tangle-let-me-try-to-explain-b22ad6f00c13PS: you seem like a professional, so sorry about my quickness in handling your "concerns." |

It's ironic that wall street claimed that Bitcoin was useless when it actually had a use (before blockchain analysis destroyed its claim of "censorship resistant") that they are now paying a premium on Bitcoin when it actually is useless (store of value is not a good use case for technology unless you are selling vintage Black Berries or Apples to a computer collector/museum).

XSPEC is my number 1. It has a low market cap low supply and has the best technology. Get it while it's still 1,30$. This coin will make you rich in 2018 for sure.
This coin is your number 1? https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/ Click "Richlist" and "Largest Wallets" How the fuck do you make a richlist if it's private? Are you guys even trying to research? Or do you just assume devs are telling you the truth? Or maybe you don't have time to learn how cryptocurrencies work? Sorry I'm trolling you, but this is getting ridiculous--I'm not sure if you are stupid, ignorant, or think other people are dumber than you and will buy these shitcoins, so it doesn't matter-- Generalizethis! You're right, its kind of ridiculous. Things you have mentioned are shown public addresses. Once v1.5 with default Stealth Addresses with Ring Sigs and Stealth Staking comes out - this point becomes not relevant anymore (Q1 2018) Monero has done great job, thats why it deserves its Mcap and Recognition and King status XSPEC is just 20 mills right now, give it some time If the wallets are hiden (when that happens), how do you distribute staking claims? I'd ask the same question of coins who claim their wallets are anonymous, but plan on having airdrops. Thank you friend, for asking that! Professional cryptographer and mathematician is currently ironing out this algorithm. It is only a part why this coin is unique. As I told SpectreCoin is awesome(especially considering its laughable price). Its just as with any other euphoria, people don't know why is it "cool", they just say "cool", cause they been told so I'd prefer that it is opensourced and ironed out before making the claim, but at least you are being upfront. Is the cryptographer known? And if not, will any attempt be made to audit their claims before the code is implemented? |

The most anonymos coin is monero. You can not track the transaction. You're wrong. I recently stumbled upon this article: Locating Monero Users via Transaction Broadcasts, it explains the difference between "anonymous" and "untraceable": Untraceable Transactions – The ability to send a transaction and not link the transaction to whom sent it or see where it’s going. You can have an untraceable transaction being transmitted from a known person though. It would be like me saying something to a crowd in a secret language that only you and I understood. Everyone can see who is saying it, but they have no idea what is being said or to whom.
Anonymous Transactions – The ability to broadcast a transaction to the network and the network cannot tell whom sent the transaction. This is the case with coins that transmit over Tor and I2P because the network only sees exit node ips and not the origin user’s ip. This technology allows you to transmit transactions to the network and no one will know who you are. Monero is untraceable, but it's not anonymous. Do you mind explaining what meaningful user information you can garner from a Monero tx? This is a rhetorical question--see: Monero Richlist. |

Mcafee lost all credibility when he got into a shootout with police and paid women to shit in his mouth
To be fair, that doesn't diminish his security rep as much as backing verge. Verge bolted on TOR and claimed it made them the best privacy coin--as if on-chain anonymity wasn't the important or hard part and failing to acknowledge that anyone can do this to any coin themselves if they aren't completely inept. It's as though the verge devs took a shit in our mouths and called it chocolate. If you are investing in verge based on their security claims or McCaffe's endorsement, you really shouldn't be investing in crypto at all--you don't know how it works and you're likely investing in dogshit. |

It's always sad to miss this type of threads here. There are market experts in the forum better than any other trader outside. Anyway, it's bad for IOTA to be passed by Cardano ADA project, but it's still alive. The future is bight in IOTA because IOT market is great.
If you have done your analyzation properly and you may be bought a lot of IOTA. Iota has used the same system like byteball. Both are using DAG system which uses the server to verify the transaction. The byteball has the same method as what already done by iota. The blckchain less system can become alternative but the main thing about that pegged to the server. That makes the zero fees. Have never looked deeply at byteball, but iota is feeless because every tx confirms two other tx--not sure what you mean by servers make it feeless. Also, I think they have different designs, based on discussions on BCT (chiefly between ComeFromBeyond and anonymint) there are different attack vectors between the two. Not every blockchain is built like Bitcoin, same applies to DAGs, so distinctions should be clear. |
