Is the XMR project dead then? 

You can swap BTC for XMR on mainnet using the most popular BTC privacy wallet for a month now (also home to the largest BTC mixer probably Samourai Whirlpool with over 10k BTC in the pool now):

You can also swap ETH for XMR on mainnet for half a year now:

There is Serai dex coming soon™️ that will provide a Uniswap style interface to swap XMR/BTC/ETH/etc:

There are p2p options like the longstanding Localmonero, Bisq, and Haveno project seems to be finally getting off the ground.

Monero seems like it's underperforming for the amount of community, development, and infrastructure it has, but given Coinbase ignoring forever and now Binance delisting (and both of them promoting shittokens like Shib and far worse), it is what it is I guess. I don't think Monero is dead though, far from it.

Does anybody know what ArcticMine is up to these days?  I saw a vid with him, Peter Todd and some guys who have no idea how blockchains work.  Lol.  I didn't realize that he's a lot older than most of us here at BCT.  Now I appreciate the wisdom in his posts even more.

I think guys like him should come back in the forum from time to time and remind us why we're really here.  The forum needs a father figure type to tell us what's up...  Especially the new guys.

I was actually pretty disappointed that he was saying the spam attack was organic.

^  Wdym spam attack?  Against XMR?  I'm sorry but I haven't really been up to date on stuff about Monero for the last couple of years.    But here's the thing tho.  With all the recent delistings it has suffered because some exchanges are getting spooked...  I think the thing to get around this is Fluffy's project called Tari which afaik is still being built on top of XMR.  There has to be some kind of thing onchain that could convert Tari to XMR and vice versa.  If so and if Tari gets listed in exchanges like Binance then all we do is covert XMR to Tari then use that. 

Dunno tho, but hopefully.

I gave up on Tari about 5 years ago.
