Why is Monero ignored by the public even though it has the best tech out there?

[Laniakea]

Monero no doubt has the best technology out of all crypto coins.  To put it frankly, I've been neglecting this myself.  Having looked into the actual tech for the past months, I can now agree with the general consensus of reputable developers who have judged its inner workings.

However! A question that has been arising ever since seeing its numerous advantages - why is it largely ignored? The volume is very low, and there are only very few supporters.  How can this be?

It's like people are buying expensive no-brand cars, if they could have a 90% discounted Lamborghini.  It simply does not make any sense whatsoever not to be hyped about it.  Where's your enthusiasm, folks?

What is your point?  A superb wallet is in the working and it simply hasn't been top priority yet.  The developers are focusing on a rock solid core as far as I grasp.

Also why do you say such things about some of the Monero leaders?  

Maybe you're just being envious..

You want the truth go look at the "all time" price chart on Poloniex.

The signature is obvious.

Reasons: laziness or that the primary anti-monero posters are large holders of other coins or ignorance or a general suspicion of all things not Bitcoin. The first two won't go away any time soon, but the last two can change with facts.

--Monero is the largest most secure form of a digital cash--a digital cash must be decentralized to prevent a central power from destroying its other traits, it must be unlinkable to retain fungibility, it must be untraceable to retain fungibility, and it must be fungible--which simply means 1 xmr always equals 1 xmr (no taint).

--Monero was fairly launched and has a heavy front-end distribution to keep the costs of entering the market inexpensive.

--Monero is opensource and has at last count 29 developers with commits (one happens to be the lead Developer of Bitcoin).

--Monero has an online game that will use it as a gateway to the game's economy.

--A Finnish company is introducing a Monero investment fund.

--Open Alias (a Monero innovation that allows for you to use domains as addresses) will be part of Electrum Core.

--View Keys allow Monero to be private by default, public by choice.

--Monero's TPS is unbounded (currently 1,600 TPS).

Probably forgot a few things, but Monero isn't part of the dog and pony show that is greater fool economics. It is the evolution from physical cash to digital cash. It is needed, it is wanted, it is desired by those who want cash as part of their digital lives.

Monero at 1,600 TPS would probably consume all of the whole world's internet bandwidth.

MONERO SPAM JUST SHUT UP

Actually I've recently found a good historical parallel for Monero: the SdKfz 184 Panzerjager Tiger (P) (Ferdinand / Elephant) heavy tank destroyer.
You know it was an freakin' awesome stuff what was able to wipe out anything on the battlefield from miles away and absorb nearly any sort of enemy fire, so it was a hard hitting beast with great potential. A real Porshe in its class . But...it had two flaws. First the developers forgot to install a cheap machine gun on it (user interface) so the Russian soldiers just comfortably walked to the Elephant and blown up the whole bloody expensive technological marvel with a 50 cent molotov cocktail. The second was the fact that an Elephant was a sophisticated, slow and heavy machine designed for the wast, wide open Russian plains, what was fine there but this made it pretty much useless everywhere else (real life services).

This is the two main flaws with monero too. User interface and real life services. You know until my 90 YO grandma' and 12 YO little brother can't use the client comfortably (without reading a few pages of howtos) from any sort of hardware, and the real life services are basically limited to Bittrex, Poloniex, and some sort of empty marketplace like thingy, I wouldn't expect too much attention from the public.

Why is Monero ignored?

may be because there are 100 threads created on daily basis about how Monero is going to beat BTC. People who were 5 feet away from Monero now they're 1000 feet away. Good luck with getting investors

Indeed.. I'm not even considering monero as a competent coin anymore... The spam has really turned me off. Too bad, the spamming doesnt have the wanted effect.. And even core people from Monero are hating this..

When you pay shills to advertise something they don't understand, you damage the thing you were trying to promote.

[ApexEvo]

I guess no one needs it. Maybe ISIS, monero team should translate its wallet to arabic.

They aren't shills, they are reverse trolls.

I stated in another topic:

I already told this before, please refrain from starting new Monero threads in the altcoin section. We have our own speculation and ANN thread which are sufficient. I, as a Monero supporters, am getting quite annoyed by all these threads and I certainly know that many others are getting annoyed as well. So please follow this advice. I know you meant good, but this is only hurting XMR, not benefiting it.

[monsterer]

They aren't shills, they are reverse trolls.

Are you sure about that? Their numbers and level of persistence indicates a profit motive.

Pretty sure about it, most are either newbie accounts or known trolls (mrkavasaki, blacky90 and kenji). Also, like I stated before, most long time community members that I know are quite annoyed by it as well. Thus I advice everyone to stick to the ANN or speculation thread and not start new unnecessary threads here.

Very sure. Or tell my why is it always Newbie Accounts often with a single liner? Also look how the same few Anti-Monero guys jump into every thread it is mentioned.... hclivess, illodin, bagholder"cry(p)to"( lamest thing i ever heard and you keep on saying and saying it like a dumb nut )010, benthach etc...

Because they're being paid by the post?

I don't disagree they are being paid, but not in a way to benefit Monero. In my opinion, they are doing the opposite and are probably paid to do the opposite as well.

Monero is ignored because it has nothing to offer then blabla

Bitcoin is the first mover in this market. It shoud be doable to expand the possibilities of bitcoin with the things other coins can do.
Remember that it is not allways the best (the best in your opinion) that will win.

There are far more sophisticated coins then Monero.
