Monero XMR ... Why do people fall for the shills and bullshit?

[rikkejohn]

A pile of junk coin, that has made its position by somehow replacing LTC as the second coin to trade on Poloniex.

It has features, though, but sadly the features are pointless, and can never go beyond appealing to teenagers and unmarried men in their thirties that have prostituted themselves to become Monero Shills. OMFG!

Horrible coin.

Yeah so um.  Can you explain why?

Have you tried downloading the client? Everything is clunky and slow. I'm not really big on Cryptonote, but I tried Boolberry, just to see if the problem was endemic to Cryptonote, and it isn't. Boolberry was basically one click, fast and everything worked. Using Monero gave me the perception that it was put together by incompetents. These people are holding up a pile of shit and claiming that it's gold. The community is literally full of megalomaniac delusionals. At least put some effort into usability!

Yeah - I did with Bytecoin back pre GUI  

I agree - user friendliness sucks.  There - that's a reason.  How hard was that OP?

How pathetic:

First user in this thread is a Litecoin user with a Bitmixer.io Singature haha.
Second is a Bytecoin scammer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=740112.0).
Third is a Darkcoin fanboy.

Go away, privacy is not only a feature its a human right, without privacy no freedom can exist.

Lol no - I said I downloaded the wallet to see what it was about.  Geez ... everybody thinks somebody has an agenda.  I'm strictly an observer

I gave two you reasons, but apparently you lack the skill of reading between the lines or considering the social impact a small sub-culture can make when it makes lots of noise. Yet you managed to pick up on the usability of it, which is already documented so pointless making a post about.

1. Its position has been helped by Poloniex.
2. It is being shilled by people that are incapable of knowing better.

Monero shills can't do any better than a 3x ad hominem? Sad.

No it doesnt, it has been helped by Bytecoin beeing scammers.
No you confuse XMR with Litecoin, Darkcoin and BCN on that.

Dude.  Idiots in crypto who happen to pick up a coin.  And high transaction volume on an exchange.  Are not net negatives.  

In fact ... bitcoin has those symptoms the worst out of all the coins  

I agree Monero has some problems.  But your thread mades me want to take a second look since you give no negatives (there are stupid people who use it and it trades on an exchange I don't like)  Hmmm ya u go there guy

So a negative post makes you want to buy the product?

Well that certainly taught me a lesson.

[rdnkjdi]

Uh pretty much.  Because what you couch as "negative" - if that's the only "negative" news on a coin.  Then bitcoin is dead

SCAM ** MONERO ** SCAM ** YOU WILL GET BURNED ** SCAM ** WHOOP ** WHOOP

When the poster looks stupid and/or following an agenda, yes it does. Contrarian indicator.

People should learn to troll. That's not as easy as it seems.

Have you read Plato's "Gorgias"? You remind me of Socrates, except you would be younger and have a tattoo.

I'm sorry, but what you see as the difference between "hard to use" and "easy to use" is completely nuanced. You're like a fandroid arguing that sideloading with adb is much easier in 2.3, and everyone should just use 2.3. Usability is not an overnight exercise.

Are BBR's binary builds significantly easier to use for the handful of somewhat technically capable cryptonerds on this forum? Absolutely. Why is Monero not matching those? Because we're exceedingly busy overhauling the core of Monero: https://github.com/monero-project/bitmonero/tree/development to make room for improved usability. To wit: our next tagged release will include static compilation, but will not include a GUI.

Why? Because a good GUI is not thrown together in a vague attempt to be "first". A GUI requires pragmatism, forethought, and careful planning. Here's an example of how that process works: http://imgur.com/a/ERheR

Do you realise how ridiculous that statement is, and just how at risk you are at being conned throughout your life?

[Joshuar]

OP, you support Darkcoin..but not Monero?

You don't support Monero, which has had a fairly decent launch, a large capable dev team, and the highest anonymity available, not to mention most popular/successful cryptonote thus far? Are you trolling OP?

Whats worse, is that you base the value of a coin on the amount of shill accounts shilling for it, in that case, then Bitcoin should be the biggest fail of them all, shouldnt it!

I've supported Darkcoin since February, but anyone that isn't blind, deaf, or dumb, can see that Monero is on equal terms if not more, with Darkcoin.

If you had a negative trust rating from Mark Karpeles should I view you as more or less trustworthy?
