I think Roger Ver is the most (albeit only?) unfortunate casualty of the Grand Schism. He opened that forum in a fit of pique, having chosen Gavinblocks and XT governance coup as the preferred cross on which to martyr himself. Having vastly overestimated public support for Gavinista 'People's Front of Judea' separatism, he's now reduced to bribing people to post on his pathetic Island of Misfit Gavincoiners. https://forum.bitcoin.com/announces/1-000-bitcoin-prize-for-the-most-appreciated-post-on-this-forum-t265.htmlUsers browsing this forum: No registered users and 0 guests
The $1k plea for attention takes the cake, as an epic self-clowning demonstration of his forum's negative (absent lavish subsidy) value proposition for potential participants. I couldn't possibly clown him any harder than he's beclowned himself. Quick, somebody win teh prize and promptly donate it to Bitcoin Core! That'll show 'em. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

Monero is clearly wonderful and has HUGE potential to become one of the main cryptocurrencies in use- this we all know. I think the greatest hurdle Monero will face is to definitively punch through the ceiling that it has been under for the past year and consistently remain above 1 dollar. To reach that goal and increasingly loftier heights, more and more of the general (less tech savy) public will need to buy into Monero as they largely did with Bitcoin. My question for all of you is what are some of the things that we could recommend to the developers to make Monero more user friendly to the masses?

Price of Monero in fiat ultimately is irrelevant. If fiat is a broken system then it is how much STUFF you can purchase with monero that matters. The developers appear to be good stewards of the source/git/project and I like their approach to things.

By source/GIT/project he means everything encompassing Monero. Monero is open source software. Thus, it is developed in an open source manner - this means that anyone can contribute. Because the organization of anyone contributing to software can become a nightmare, the developer of Linux created Git. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git_(software) You can imagine git as the place where software developers can collaborate on software in an organized fashion, so they can go "yo bob, you broke the monkey infuriator function" and bob can go "ok, I'll fix it". Primarily, git functions as version control https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Version_controlSo. The monero source code is in a git repository. This git repository has to be maintained by someone. That someone is the Monero Core team. The core team ultimately decides what goes into the repository and what doesn't. Thats a very short and crude answer, but that should cover it.

Thank you very much for the cogent answer. Monero is really my first venture into anything tech related and I'm trying my best to get caught up and familiar with all the terminology.

aye. I got into it as my first cryptocurrency venture as well, and this was all new to me. People are generally friendly, so don't hesitate to ask anything. Though a good googling of any topic is always in good order ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) also, for more speedy inxns, you can checkout #monero on freenode (IRC), which you can access via HexChat (software) or Kiwi (web app: https://kiwiirc.com/client)

of course it is ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) but if the forum should pick up traffic, the info provided on monero should be good. I'm not endorsing anyone to move over there. personally I like the getmonero forum the best. just took a while to get used to the gui.

When did Gregory Maxwell say "Monero won't work/won't scale"...? He has said that it isn't compatible with the sort of UXTO pruning that Bitcoin can do, which is somewhat true (there are indeed a few tricky ways to make it work if you really want to). I've seen this on reddit and possibly elsewhere. It is also a bit disingenuous since he has also said that despite UXTO pruning, Bitcoin also can't usefully scale without going offchain, which is why he opposes increasing Bitcoin's block size too much beyond the current 5-7 tps). In fact, if I'm not mistaken he may have suggested lowering the block size, but I'm not positive of that. I don't think he has ever said Monero "won't work".
