Hey dev, what are your thoughts on the crave claim that they are the first truly anon tor coin?

well, they arent the first, thats for sure. we had tor nodes long before them.. but i like our i2p network better.. plus theyre using ecdsa which has had serious bugs before, and lots of bitcoins were stolen as a result.. as well as it being POS (proof of stake), which everyone knows is terrible, just makes the rich richer..



Could you post a link to some information about this please? I thought most coins used ecdsa.

they do.

you can actually do a side by side comparison if you like:

heres a paper on the flaws:

Sorry to backtrack the moon talk, between i2p and tor, theres more than 1 way to skin a cat as they say.
Nubits just published 40 page whitepaper disproving all the attack vectors on POS coins with a healthy network.
Also everyone uses ECDSA so how is that even something to bring up, everyone knows reusing K is bad. DOGED uses ECDSA too... not sure how this is bad if its a known issue affecting everyone

interested to hear actual complaints.

also this=?
