Monero (XMR) Speculation thread

[slapper]

IMO the main drawback of Monero is their team because they often complain about other coins’ faults instead of making their own coin better.

I've never complained about any other coin's faults except one post ages ago in response to AlexGR. Your post is baseless - please link me to these posts where the core team is complaining about other coins' faults.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2751e8/psa_dont_fall_for_darkcoins_deceiving_marketing 16 comments from you complaining about Darkcoin. Do you want those to be quoted here? (/user/fluffyponyza)

You are trolling every Darkcoin and Boolberry mentions on Coindesk and everywhere else too.

Your last Monero commit was copying Zoidberg's tx_pool handling and submitting it as a pull request on Monero, over a month ago https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/41

Try to represent Monero with more dignity. As it stands right now, you are a sore thumb sticking out everywhere.

Why the coins name was changed? Devs wanted to clean the reputation? Was there an objective reason?

Several of the stakeholders felt the new name was a better marketing vehicle and in addition the old name had been heavily cyber squatted. Two votes were held first on IRC and second on this forum. Both votes were in favor of the change.

When did the coin name change?

It was launched on April 18, 2014. IMO we can call this currency a youngster in comparison with Bitcoin.

Lol, the Monero Github is basically dead. Check out Boolberry to see what a coin that actually has active developers looks like. Seems like Monero is mainly hype. The only thing it has going for it is the name, which is admittedly better than Bytecoin or Boolberry. But a name won't get you anywhere if your devs slack off, like they seem to be doing.

Go away other-coin-bagholder, we're not coming to annoy you with crap in your threads, can you please do the same?

BR what exactly is your goal in all your trolling ?

I haven't bothered reading all the back and forth but you're clearly not friendly to Monero yet won't shut up about it. Why? Seems like every post you made has been responded to thoroughly

I have my doubts about the prospects of monero as I’ve been reading lots of unflattering things concerning their devs’ team.
I’ve no idea if it’s true but part of it sounded pretty convincing to me.

so, you'll be selling your coins and leaving this thread then?

Hey look an entire page of content-free one-line posts starting in Feb-March just like the other sock puppet troll accounts:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=242219;sa=showPosts;start=20

Also, you guys really need a new script. This whole pattern of

unflattering to offensive attack lacking in any evidence

I have no idea if it is true but ...

is getting old.

Damn, you make a convincing argument.

Time to sell!

Woah, really? You have been reading a lot of unflattering things? I better sell based on your unsubstantiated remarks.

[hodlmybtc]

SELL SELL SELL!

/sarcasm

When will these trolls give up?

Maybe they are getting paid with many certain 82% premined coins

You're being disingenuous. That was a discussion on /r/bitcoin, and my comments did not "complain" about Darkcoin. Don't conflate a technical debate with complaining. I pointed out technical deficiencies. I have done the same for Monero, and I have vocally pointed out Bitcoin's flaws.

You are trolling every Darkcoin and Boolberry mentions on Coindesk and everywhere else too.

This is utter nonsense. I made 1 comment on Coindesk 2 months ago pointing out that Darksend's closed-source release means that there are no checks-and-balances for the architecture and the code. Every other comment has been explaining CryptoNote or pointing out the failure that is MaidSafe. I'm completely entitled to opinions, you're not obligated to agree with them.

Your last Monero commit was copying Zoidberg's tx_pool handling and submitting it as a pull request on Monero, over a month ago https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/pull/41

What's your point? A large portion of my immediate work is architectural in nature, which would not equate to direct commits.

Try to represent Monero with more dignity. As it stands right now, you are a sore thumb sticking out everywhere.

If I wasn't passionate about my opinions, and I didn't express my opinions, there would never be active debate and discussion. I'd also never have my errors pointed out (factual errors, not differences of opinion) and would not be able to correct my thinking where I have made a misstep in judgement or believe something based on an incorrect premise. The value in expressing my opinions and thereby improving my knowledge through rigorous debate is immeasurable. If you disagree with me on something, feel free to engage me on it.

I know you don't read the Dev Diary in the weekly Missive, otherwise you'd know that development is done in branches on individual developer's forks. Work-in-progress branches are regularly linked on the Missives and elsewhere.

Why the coins name was changed? Devs wanted to clean the reputation? Was there an objective reason?

Several of the stakeholders felt the new name was a better marketing vehicle and in addition the old name had been heavily cyber squatted. Two votes were held first on IRC and second on this forum. Both votes were in favor of the change.

Forum vote 5/7-5/8, so a few weeks after launch assuming your date is correct: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=599455.0

That was after the IRC vote which took place a few days before, but I don't remember when exactly.

Yes it is absolutely a youngster compared to bitcoin.

Changing the coin’s name was an attempt to clean its reputation a bit, don't be so naive. Monero devs are very cunning.

No we prefer having a bad reputation. Bad coins have more fun.

I totally agree!
Those people who call themselves devs have actually stolen the coin. They nicked it right from the founding father’s arms – the guy’s name is thankful-for-today.

Bytecoin trolls go back to your own shitty 82% premined coin.

This is the Monero speculation thread, if you want to promote your scam coin and discredit Monero go troll in one of the Monero vs Bytecoin threads.

On topic: How high will we go this runup? 0.01? 0.0125? 0.015?

Well, I just got a few extra $s of BTC transfered. I've been buying like a madman since lastnight, gonna keep buying all the way up to 0.1.
