Hi Dev,
I was just reading on a forum how a person thought that xvg wasn't great compared to other privacy focused coins. Which led me to search for a comparison of coins to show them they were wrong. Anyway, I came across this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/6yzp38/comparison_monero_xmr_vs_bitcoin_btc_vs_zcash_zec/Which are the comments for this comparison:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/wiki/comparisonNow I realise that the comparison is in the Monero subred, so it's going to favour Monero obviously. But it's also making Verge look really bad.
Now what I'd like to know is... Are the questions tainted that badly towards making Monero look good, that it makes Verge look bad? Are they just not asking the right questions? Is the way they are looking at this flawed, or is there really an issue with the fundamentals of Verge?
I'd love to be able to go back to them and let them know any issues with their thinking or correct any wrongs they have made. Unfortunately I am not smart enough in how Verge works to be able to do that. But it seems that if there is indeed misinformation there, it would be a good idea to correct it and get the truth out.
Edit:
After some more searching I also found this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/vergecurrency/comments/6z1fnc/now_i_get_it/Which poses an interesting question:
It's pseudo-anonymous up until the point where you actually use the coins. Want to sell your BTC/XVG for cash? Your identity is now connected to your coins, addresses and their entire history. Want to buy a product from a company with your BTC/XVG? Your identity is now connected to your coins, addresses and their entire history.
How does Verge get around that? Does it need to?
Cheers.
P.S. I'm not trying to troll here, genuinely want to know the answers so I can inform others as well as myself.
