so a bunch of cypherpunks/academics/NSA dudes create a tech which is widely recognized to be bullet-proof
market cap a few million bucks
whatever
No Charlie, it's not bullet-proof.
the tech has spawned a plethora of copies (all bad except XMR according to thread-starter) worth many millions more. And yet I am supposed to chew out the geniuses benhind CN?? I don't think so
what will XMR offer for future dev? BCN showing the way atm it seems.
