Great comparison. I can really see DeepOnion reaching levels of Monero.

Like I said, the system that prevents the most sock puppets is the one based on the percentage of coins an individual has. Other than that which system do you think will eliminate the most sock puppets? There's no perfect system, but Sr. Member and up dramatically reduces fraud compared to open to anyone.

I love this. I love the idea of someone wanting you back because of success. That's why I wouldn't tell any girls about Onions, because if they break up with me and Onion explodes...

The old DeepOnion system of checking the quality of every post of every participant going back to the beginning of their account was good, but required a lot of man power, and will only really catch the obvious sock puppet accounts. The Telegram idea is flawed, because it's easy to get a throwaway number.

No system is perfect, but the Sr. Member and up seems like the best so far because it would just be too difficult to rank up multiple accounts. Sounds like torture.

So far the best system that I've seen to eliminate sock puppets is the current Deep Onion system in which the air drop amount is based on the percentage of the coin one has, thus having multiple accounts just means extra work for actually less coins (too long to explain why it's less). But at this point such a system would benefit the Github sock puppets, unless they already sold their Sirius coins.

So I guess higher rank accounts is still the best option for Sirius. The higher the rank the better. Hero Member and up would probably almost eliminate sock puppets, but that's easy for me to say since I'm a Hero Member.

As far as I know there's no backdoor in TOR, and if there is than the US government is going out of their way in showing that they're having difficulty tracking people down. I think the efforts are better spend in peripheral ways of tracking people than through the Tor network. Such as even mouse finger printing, or flaw in a java code or something like that.

I sometimes think of the people who might have passed on this airdrop because of the mod that gave it a negative trust rating. That rating could have caused some people dearly in their life. I'm glad I stuck around, did my own research and saw that Deep Onion was a rare opportunity.

That's horrible. How much is stuck in Cryptopia? I would be beyond pissed off.

Interesting. Is Tor not open source? Governments do use Tor for many reasons, to hide their own identity. It could just be that they give money to the Tor project because they can. Other than that I haven't seen any evidence of a backdoor. And the more people using Tor, for example running a DeepOnion wallet, the much harder it makes it to track anyone.

You had two post on Bitcointalk last week, and both seem to be under 50 characters.

I'm excited for the time after the 40th airdrop and continued development of DO. But 40 years from now I know I'm going to look back and really miss this really unique point in history. And then my end will be coming soon, that sucks.

Two things pop into mind. Unlike most other airdrop where one fills out a form or something of that matter, get the coin and quickly dump it, the length of this air drop, and the community that's being built in the forum makes it more of a family. I can't describe how big that is. A bond is built for lack of a better word. Reminds me of NEM.

The other the success of this coin has allowed to pick up development and they are adding a lot of new features, to make the coin more secure and private.

I'll go for one more. It's a privacy coin (with a large community) and I have a feeling that privacy coins are going to be huge in the years to come.

That's exciting, a Binance poll. DeepOnion with this large community definitely has a good chance of winning. I have an account there, hopefully other also have one.

Edit: I just read that it's user generated information.

Depends. I'd like to see how Alax.io does, and if it will affect Decent visibility and price.

Did they really list information about Deep Onion? Where did you see that information? I want to read it.

Some would care, but the point from my logic is that it will bring more eyes, from Newbie to Legendary to take a closer look at the technology. 20 DCT could be $60. It's something. Plus this is still a very promising coin, could be $600.

The more I think about a Hero Member airdrop vs Sr Member could be amazing. It would be good advertisement with all members looking at it, less abuse, and Hero members will be more likely to hold.

One can be smart about it. For example the Sirius air drop requires one to be Sr. Member and above. That generated excitement because is selective, and greatly reduced the chance for sock puppets. I imagine that crypto veterans are less likely to dump. At this point I rather it be for Hero members though, since someone who started less than a year ago can be a Sr. Member by now, and that sounds a little noobish to me.

Maybe a month long air drop, giving out 20 DCTs to Sr. Members and above can generate a similar type of buzz. It would at the very least get extra people to read up on the technology even if they do not join the air drop, or qualify.

It would also need a new Ann thread, because if one just leaves a comment that if you join telegram you'll get DCTs, only people who use Decent will see it.

Now with an Ann thread everyone will see the purpose and click on the link to find out more.

DeepOnion requires one post per week, so I don't see how that's spamming the board. And the airdrop amount is based on the amount a participant has in their wallet, but you can sell anytime. You can sell all yours coins to invest someplace else, and if you make a profit you can rejoin the air drop with no problems. By basing it on percentage it killed the advantage that people with sock puppets had. It's a very well run organized air drop.

With Sirius, they also greatly reduce the amount of sock puppets by limiting to Sr. Members and above. They also have an experienced dev with a long posting history on Bitcointalk, where one can better get a sense of him and better judge his character.

Both are also long air drops which builds a sort of bond/awareness for the participants. These are two of my top coins.

I'm new to Telegram, not too familiar with it, but I joined. Maybe an air drop would be a good idea. Or maybe not, since there's so many people looking for air drops just to dump.

I like Monero, I want both coin to co exist. Here's a DeepOnion article, it explains some of the features it has. http://www.abnewswire.com/pressreleases/deeponion-announces-exciting-launch-of-an-anonymous-cryptocurrency-sent-through-the-tor-network_188825.html
