Read the first post for the most intense apology ever posted on the internet.
From a guy who swore up & down for almost two years had had NOTHING to do wit marketing / Advertising here.
Who later admitted to it.. and then it goes on even deeper than that.
Check out the MEW topic.

Know what burns the most i bet.. your own Team members fucking you over.
Thank him for it.. i did not write his apology.

EDIT:
by the way i don't buy your Mr. Nooby routine.
Your Trolling with a dummy account.
You are one of the old Monero shill's guaranteed.

Let's see some PROOF he was scammed.

Hello,

If I do reply at all, this is because "a lie repeated often enough looks like a truth" so countermeasures are necessary (I'm still in control of my account and anyone with a brain will notice my writing style and my use of horizontal rules - of course, some talkative poster could say this is all impersonation). I know very well this will add fuel to the fire but still think a reply was necessary.

This was whap:
And I confirm the assertion.
Depending on the audience, I introduce myself as a Bitcoin developer (then explain that this is not Bitcoin but something similar because such an audience doesn't even understand the word "cryptocurrency"), as a Monero developer (then explain that I do not actually code, but I develop in the sense of developing an idea, a strategy, a project) or as a Monero Core Team member (rarely because it doesn't translate well in French) or as Monero director (the best ratio between accuracy and understandability).

I confirm this one too.

I also confirm that superresistant has it right:

I will continue to reply very selectively here and only when I feel this is necessary (which may mean "never"). Thanks to anyone who supported me here, by PM, or on the Monero forum. Of course some particularly talkative poster will seize the opportunity to try to get me to react, probably to no avail.

The preferred way to reach me is PM, because for many reasons I stopped reading most of my mail and unsubscribed from topic notification on as many fora and mailing lists as possible - bitcointalk PM notifications are among the few things I still receive.

For people who actually care: the fact that I am replying here is evidence that I am starting to recover. Slowly.

David "presstab" Latapie ;-)


P.-S.: I suspected it, now I am sure: some talkative poster likes to invent facts, like me saying I support a coin (bitcointa.lk anyone?) or the OP of a self-modded ANN topic deleting the poor guy's post. If the said poster acts this way for me, then he probably does it when ranting about something/someone else.

P.-P.-S.: reply #200. Nice one.

OMFG, valid criticism!!! Gona frame this one Seriously though, that is a genuine problem and one that's being addressed, 0.12.1 will be out in about 2 to 3 months and it will be fixed in that.

personally I hope they all get to be billionares because the system they're creating is incredible and just keeps getting better.

Dump of Monero is very near...pump long over

Premixing and sending mixed coins are two different phases for DASH.

Sending premixed coins is instant.

Mixing your balance can be done whenever you want. Speed will pickup with time, as more people use mixing and there is greater "availability" to mix with. At that point, when a lot of people are mixing, bloat and fees will be the issue. I think we already had a glimpse of the future when premixing with multiple rounds was implemented and the network got congested from all the people who were waiting to mix their coins for the first time. IIRC the fees were bumped a bit, or it was suggested that txs would go through faster with a fee - something like that.

I got into that discussion because I'm not buying the "ohhh we did all that awesome improvements" angle - and explained why.

As for Monero, well, now that I've sold all my Moneros (it seems like the Monero community wanted those with dual investment alienated) I will be pretty frank about it: It won't scale and it's not even working on some serious scaling solution. I'm not aware of Bytecoin working on a scaling solution either so there is nothing to copy from there. As it stands, we are looking at a proof-of-concept system / DOA for actual use.

I'm not saying reducing bloat by a few tens %. I'm talking about much more.

Dash will develop its own system and, at worst, if Dash fails to provide distributed storage etc, it can "adopt" a Lightning clone   (as a BTC-compatible coin), to compensate or as a short-term fix until it gets going with its own system. We'll see how it goes.

Price will follow hashrate and difficulty.

I think you need to stop now

XMR hotter than a Fontasy  

Monero doesn't have Trezor support or instant TX either though, I still hold my point that neither of these coins will be the final main coin for anonymity.

Im still not convinced either way which is better monero or dash.  Ive weighed up all the arguments in this thread and Im still on the fence.  Can anyone, ANYONE please finally explain why monero is better than dash or dash is better than monero???!!

If Dash is so confident, why did it go through 2 name changes?

XCoin -> Darkcoin -> DASH

Plus, DASH sounds like they are running from something. What a bad name. Who would even think that it is digital cash?

What is emporer Duffield next name change going to be?

What development? Trolleros devs don't understand the code.

They can't improve nothing!!!!!

They are a bunch of liers and thieves, that stole TFT project "bitmonero", and now they don't know what to do.

Where is the GUI wallet? Others cryptonote coins managed to develop one, why not the trolleros devs? Because they are retarded!!

The only thing they do, is talking and trashing the others coins, and they dare to call scammers at BYTECOIN devs, the fathers of the code they uses. LOL.

Trolleros devs are the real scammers.
