I think it is interesting to contrast of how Evan addressed the stated issue in this thread, which is about the coin he works on afterall, asked that the guy continue his work and contact him if he actually has any meaningful results.

By way of contrast, the XMR devs are distracted all day in a thread that is not even about their coin, sqauking like a bunch of jelly-jerkoffs.

I bought quite a pile of monero when its trading symbol was still MRO, was not on poloniex yet, and this was the only exchange: https://cryptonote.exchange.to/

I sold at quite a profit about 2 weeks after it hit poloniex and never bought more.

I noticed that its price was back to its pre-poloniex days recently and was considering buying back in. I stopped by the thread and noticed smooth was handling some FUD that day, was being patient with trolls and basically trying to keep the ship sailing, was pretty impressed at the time and remained open to buying back in, but don't like the emmission curve or liklihood of any significant adoption for years. Fluffypony always comes off bad but tacotime is usually alright and i had a decent impression of smooth.

But, you guys are ridiculous! Totally unprofessional and you wear your jealousy on your face! Get to work on your coin! Why are you still here???

Look, criticism goes both ways and we get more than our fair share of it.

When I post on these things I do so as a long-term cryptocurrency enthusiast whose interests go beyond just Monero.

Also, we actively discourage the cultish sort of dev worship that drives a lot of other coins. Whether you like or dislike the Monero devs is not why we want you to support the coin. Evaluate the technology, the work being done, the economics, etc. If you dislike the emission curve (at least for now), for example, then you probably shouldn't buy, regardless of how much you might like, say, tacotime or perhaps (sometimes?) me. Let the substance speak for itself and leave personalities out of it. Cryptocurrency is not your favorite sports team or singer.

I submit that the developement team of a coin is quite an important factor to consider when deciding whether to make an investment. Kiss

I am fully aware of your tech, which is why i bought in the past and had considered buying again. I don't think it makes economic sense for anyone to purchase monero at this time because of the reasons i stated, emission curve and no hope of adoption. In addition to those reasons, I now have quite a negative opinion of the dev team and their ability to control themselves. Kudos
