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.

I will continue to be supportive in your efforts wherever they lead--though why they're leading to a coin built like an oligarchy is beyond me. There's no way I can support dash's centralized design, but if you fix their privacy issues, good--at least people buying the coin for privacy won't be getting ripped off in that department. Whatever happened between you and Shen is between the two of you, but I respect both of you and hope it isn't a permanent rift as talent is tough to find in this community and both of you have that in spades.

What happened between Shen and I can never be patched up. Same as the relationship between Gmaxwell and I can never be patched up. I saw already the way they treat others. People don't change. Yeah I will tell someone they are an idiot, but only after giving them many chances to not be. I try my best to give people a fair shake. Whereas, Shen and Gmax disrespect people who are obviously not idiots. I don't even disrespect people who frustrate me with their inability to comprehend. I just get frustrated because I am only one man and I can't write 3000 posts per day to cure everyone's misconceptions. The solution to that was letting go. Just stop trying to communicate to everyone. Just pick my spots to communicate more selectively. As for those who habitually look down on others and not even giving them a fair shake, well they earn my ire and burn the flame inside me white hot. I really hate people who can't appreciate others as human beings. Everyone deserves the benefit-of-the-doubt and a fair hearing.

It is so ironic actually. It may end up that masternodes are a superior solution for scaling anonymity to the masses than Monero's on chain ring sigs or Zcash's zk-snarks. Note I didn't say masternodes for mining nor for governance (nor oligarchy controlled from an instamine). Rather for a specific feature of scaling anonymity.

And then we get very performant DEX (decentralized exchange) out of that new design as well.

It actually surprised me. I was thinking on chain anonymity was the holy grail. But the problem set paradigm shifted.

Here are the potential advantages my co-developer and I quickly enumerated today in chat:

Co-dev: "so ours is less bloat, prunable, more anonymous, quantum-computing resistant, more performant, and IP shielding"
myself: "and our anonymity sets are huge, potentially 1000s per mix"

Note that ours will have the weakness compared to RingCT/Zcash that we won't hide values so the mixing will be limited to transactions that people choose to mix with specific denominations (which is the way the current Monero works). I don't think we plan to mix every single transaction and have a complex wallet like Monero. Monero will simplify that when they implement RingCT. But RingCT can never scale to every (micro) transactions of the masses.

Any way I am talking off the top of my head and too prematurely. I need to go write some of these specs down.

TPTB_need_war have you thought about working at or consulting for some existing project in the crypto sphere rather than creating your own? You seem to be able to criticize anything and everything constructively. That's an amazing asset.

If we proceed to launch a new coin, then I will be joining an existing crypto sphere. My co-developer is prolific, already has a crypto community, already has an anonymous coin, and you will all recognize his name.

I am not doing this alone.

However there will be a twist. I will explain maybe tomorrow.
