The biggest problem with Monero is that it's being lead by people with zero business sense.
If it were a business your opinion on the matter of our "business sense" might count for something, but it isn't and it isn't trying to be one either. You might reconsider your statement in light of that. I have a pretty good idea you have no clue what you are talking about.
It may not be a literal business, but it's a competitive environment that is similar to running a business. Evan is using his experience with finance and investing to not only create an anonymous payment solution, but to create it in a way that most benefits investors. You guys have this false notion that people care about emission schedules. You have very idealistic notions, and that will hurt Monero in the long run. The world is not ideal, and no one will use Monero just because it's the fairest coin.
Evan understands this, and the instamine actually allowed him to fund development, while you guys have to beg for donations because of your stupid ideals. It's a shame, as I will freely admit that Cryptonote is a more elegant solution than Darksend.
Hey rocket don't bother.
The 2 XMR core devs are here trolling about DRK instead of coding as usual
Plus nearly all XMR is through one exchange: Poloniex
...where we find a huge XMR markets box and a trollbox with a fulltime XMR pump team and mods backing them. With comments like:
zhalox: And when that happens, XMR will rise farther than LTC rose from 1.11 to 48.48 USD ladies & gentlemenSo really it doesn't matter - XMR buying is centralized and they control the Polo trollbox so they can control the price.
Team XMR is just trying to run their latest pump with the drk rise
we might as well be arguing on a DRK vs PayCoin.
