no problem, off course I can explain.
A currency that is a 'privacy coin' should not have a rich list. Having a rich list implies that you can look into the blockchain  and find for example the 100 addresses with the most coins in them, like over here: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/#!rich
Would it seem private to you if I could just look somewhere in the internet and find the 100 bank accounts with the most money in them?

Would you consider it a privacy coin if, when I send you money, you can go on the internet, look up my address and see how much money is in there, with whom I transacted in the past, for how much etc...

So, a golden rule: if a coin has a rich list, it's not a privacy-coin at all... So Xspec is no privacy-coin at all, they say they are, but they aren't, they're lying....

as you can see, monero does not have a rich list: https://moneroblocks.info/richlist
This is because the blockchain is opaque, I can't go and look up an address of someone I transacted with, I can't see amounts, I can't create a richlist...

Hope this helps, if not, please ask me more, I'll happily try to help you.

best regards,

why? it's obviously a scam: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2057229.0

and it's not private because it has a richlist: http://onionexplorer.youngwebsolutions.com:3001/richlist

so why exactly should it grow?

LOL

colx has a rich list, so no, not private: https://chainz.cryptoid.info/colx/#!rich

compare to: https://moneroblocks.info/richlist
private...

there's nothing to study really, it's a cheap clone of monero, with no devteam and a huge premine (10%). It's used nowhere, they don't have any cryptographers, they just ridin' monero's wave...

The way the devs behave by the way, implementing subaddresses developed by xmr fast fast before monero has an official release out characterizes the insincerety of the devteam, sumokoin is an obvious moneygrab...

good luck anyway

it's not a privacy coin, it has a rich list:

https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/#!rich

compare this too:
https://moneroblocks.info/richlist

this is disgusting...

this is a cheap copy of monero, with no dev team, with no enhanced privacy features, with nothing reallly... oh yeah, there is something, an enormous 10% premine, which can endanger the anonimity aspect because so much outputs belong to one entity...

the subaddresses you speak off have been developed by xmr-devs, for xmr, sumoteam just added them earlier... this coin brings nothing new, NOTHING...

by god, what has the cryptosphere become, this will end badly...

WTF,

sumokoin? really?

just a cheap fork of monero with a slightly higher ringsize (of which it isn't scientifically proven that it helps privacy) and with a giant premine of 10% which is worrysome for anonimity --> if an entity has lots of outputs it can determine which are real and which aren't...

seriously, y'all need to do some reading, you're buying crappy products...

Want some advice? Here you go, plain and simple: if a coin has a rich list, it's not a privacy-coin:
so here you go:
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xspec/#!rich
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/xzc/#!rich
https://chainz.cryptoid.info/colx/#!rich
https://verge-blockchain.info/richlist
....

now compare this too:
https://moneroblocks.info/richlist

see the pattern here?

best regards

Do you have to behave like a moronic asshole every time you want to make 'cash'? sjeez, who lives like that?

oh god, are you really back... I remember when I busted you and your sockpuppets posting fake screenshots from AB implicating noone wanted to use monero... Then you were paid a few bucks by theKoziTwo to not come here again because you're so annoying...

Here, looked it up for ya:

the fact that you're not too ashamed to even show your face here after being busted with this kind of pathetic behaviour... dude...

talking about succesful...

now, if you could crawl back to where you came from?

thanks

What else you need to know about Dash (always handy to get some information not straight from the dash-propaganda-force):

Dash isn't cryptographically sound at all:
- cryptographer Andrew Poelstra: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/29471/are-there-any-true-anonymous-cryptocurrencies : And by the way, Dash (formerly Darkcoin) does not provide anonymity. They attached a (broken) implementation of CoinJoin to the ordinary Bitcoin client, and at least initially released it as a closed-source software. I haven't looked into Anoncoin, but the best advice I have for folks looking into altcoins is to assume they are uninteresting (and probably dangerously broken) until someone has demonstrated a concrete technical innovation.
- cryptographer Gregory Maxwell: https://youtu.be/LHPYNZ8i1cU --> 34:11: "Dash isn't cryptographically private at all...it's snakeoil and I'm just sort of beside myself about it, personally." Note that the whole room at coinbase is laughing at Dash...
- Peter Todd: https://twitter.com/petertoddbtc/status/622022840330682368 --> .@TheRektoning Without a doubt I'd choose @monerocurrency over @Dashpay - the latter is snakeoil, the former genuine crypto.

The response is always the same: everyone is a dash-hater, a troll, etc... https://www.dashforcenews.com/5-biggest-dash-haters-cryptocurrency/

Dash is a well oiled marketing machine, but that's about it... They tell you nice stories, but they're mostly lies, they have a beautiful girl trying to sell their 'product', hell, they even pay people to open a dash-wallet (https://www.dashforcenews.com/firstdashwallet-brings-scores-new-users-dash/). Their reddit is very heavily moderated (shadow banning, autobaning on the use of certain words etc).

Also watch this: https://youtu.be/fVLevzdg0bs ... Dash is a disaster waiting to happen.

best regards,

I didn't ignore that, I posted a rebuttal: https://getmonero.org/2017/04/19/an-unofficial-response-to-an-empirical-analysis-of-linkability.html

when will Dash be peerreviewed? ah, right, noone cares about Dash enough to review...

LOL, pathetic...

Xmr is bloated relative to bitcoin, for now that is OK indeed. How much does one TB of diskspace cost? I don't think that is the limitation, the limitation might be bandwith, but we'll have to see. Contrary to other coins who are just smoke and mirrors and marketing xmr is actively looking for a solution: https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/87652/hire-phd-mathematician-to-look-into-post-quantum-crypto-zk-protocols-blockchain-bloat, there's also some pruning in boolberry and aeon which might be possible for xmr... See how that goes, actually trying to find solutions for problems instead of trying to sell your coin to the next gullible fool. Also andrew Poelstra is working on mimblewimble, very interesting stuff, you should check it out... though I gotta say, it's open source and all, and there's no marketing and all, you might not like it...

I don't believe POS is a viable long term alternative by the way: https://download.wpsoftware.net/bitcoin/pos.pdf You should read up on it.

Anyway, got a tldr for you too:
"I can't answer any criticism about Dash, so I yell 'FUD' and when getting called out for that I deflect to another coin... I'm your classical dash fanboy who has no technical background whatsoever (mind you, I'm a technical ultranoob and you engage me with crap arguments even I can prick in a second) and doesn't actually understand what crypto is all about. I fall for cheap marketing tricks and pump & dump schemes and think that makes me smart cuz my beans went up in fiat-value"


again, pathetic...

best regards,

yeah... these world renowned and respected cryptographers are all just fudsters and dash-haterz... yeah, that's probably it...

I'll cite Poelstra again: @vertoe The link you posted says that DarkSend+ is closed source. I am not in the business of auditing amateur secret-algorithm cryptography for free. Everyone else in this thread who has asked that I give more personal attention to this project (whose current incarnation, and every incarnation before that, has raised serious red flags, right down to their decision to fork Bitcoin in order to implement CoinJoin), the answer is no.
link: https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/29471/are-there-any-true-anonymous-cryptocurrencies

I wonder though, with all the budget Dash has, why not ask for the cryptography to be peerreviewed (and I don't mean some internet security researcher like Atlas, but a real vetted cryptographic peerreview). Dash throws heaps and heaps of money at marketing, failed lamassu's, and what not... but a peerreview, that would be too much I guess...  But I understand, sometimes it's really hard to look into the mirror, and see the truth... Go ahead, make the proposal, Dash has a budget of 1.2million$ a month now... A well vetted peerreview would be an excellent counter-argument against all the supposed 'fud and hate'.


Btw, here's some information about monero blockchainbloat: https://monero.stackexchange.com/questions/432/are-criticisms-of-moneros-blockchain-bloat-substantiated
See how I didn't counter this by calling you a 'fudder/hater'... see how that goes?

best regards,

There's a nice rebuttal to that research here: https://getmonero.org/2017/04/19/an-unofficial-response-to-an-empirical-analysis-of-linkability.html

btw, DASH isn't cryptographically sound at all:

The response is always the same: everyone is a dash-hater, a troll, etc... https://www.dashforcenews.com/5-biggest-dash-haters-cryptocurrency/  --> see how this reply to criticism differs from the reply of the monero-community to the monerolink-paper (cited above)?

best regards,

I know, he's doing this for a few years already... still, sometimes I can't control myself and react, he's quite the trolling-professional, gotta give him that.

Yeaaaaah, because bitcoin is worth nothing... Dude, their 'marketing team' has to pay people 10$ to even want to start a Dash-wallet... noone uses dash, noone cares, every cryptographer will tell you that Dash isn't sound, they even had a whole room of people at coinbase laughing at them...


Are you blind? Monero has almost triple the subscribers on reddit, monero gets added on exchanges for free (kraken, where Dash had to pay 50k dollars to be added), fluffypony gets invited at consensus (where was Dash-demigod Evan?), mobile wallets want to add monero (while it's much more difficult), hardware wallets want to add monero (while it's much more difficult)...
All of this without marketing whatsoever...
Have you seen what happened to Dash trying to get their own stack-exchange... they got to 13%, 13%... probably because their community is so big and their marketing works so well...

And if you really believe that Dash is a solid business then sorry but you're retarded, Dash is right now a money burning machine... Watch what happens when that bubble bursts and all their precious overpaid developers and marketeers flee the sinking ship (have you seen what the people at 'thedashforce' earn, have you seen what abj asks?)....



best regards,

that's just wrong... have you been on the dash-subreddit, or in their slack channel... they're just echo-chambers... Dash has almost no community except their paid for fanboyz

It's not untraceable... only if you use shielded transactions, which are very compute-intensive, thus noone uses them. The fact dat anonimity isn't enforced on the protocol-level is a big no-no...
Further it also needs a trusted setup (needing trust is antithetical to good crypto), it has a founders reward, it's gonna have big big inflation, it's sponsored by darpa etc.

... it's a piece of crap

best regards,

STEEM isn't a coin...
