So now I am shopping around for someone who can take my technical idea and make it a Monero-killer asap. So I can teach your community a lesson that they deserve.
I don't think any coin has a distinct 'community' as such, and there aren't tribes ready to go to war with each other. I like monero, and about 20 other decent alts, and btc off course too, so I'm in all of those 'communities, and when you launch your own JAMBOX I'll probably support that, so I'll be part of your community too.
Don't get me wrong, some or even several of those in the Monero community I consider to be my friends. For example, generalizethis and I have gotten along very well lately, but that perhaps has only been since I was writing in support of Monero and against "shitcoins" lately. Note please see
my prior message wherein I explained that my attitude towards "shitcoins" has matured.
Monero has a community that attacks and belittles anyone who claims to have any technical innovation. How does that help us advance the state-of-the-art?
Their cryptographer Shen-noether was very arrogant and condescending to me when I offered to discuss their RingCT design because I had also independently designed ZKT before they did and mine used the CCT instead of CT. They were very offended that anyone else could have possibly designed something before they did.
Just the other day I posted in Monero's thread to let them know I had a new technical discovery and they ridicule me.
So yes I think revenge is appropriate. The appropriate revenge is proving them wrong by releasing a coin with my new technology.
I think most crypto followers are interested in lots of coins, so if your motivation is to teach the monero community a lesson I think you'll just push people away from your project. I love football, but I don't like hooligans who use it as an excuse to fight. I want to see a great match. It's the same here; if your project is cool people will support it, and it can co-exist with monero and lots of other coins. But if you're motivated by 'revenge' you'll ultimately fail IMO
I want to teach those who ridicule me that they only motivate me to compete against them, rather than to join and help them. I tried to be helpful with them several times, and they can only perceive it negatively. I really don't understand their community. Most acrimonious community I've ever come across. They insult each other daily in the Monero Speculation thread talking about useless crap that doesn't matter. They need Smooth to act as a dictator to censor posts just to keep them from not turning the thread into a continuous flame war.
Followers can be interested in lots of coins, but ultimately
they choose the one that can earn them the most money and the one with the best technology.
