People seem to have forgotten that the Monero devs discovered a critical bug in CryptoNote not too long ago that if exploited could allow double spending to occur. Thankfully our devs spotted it before anyone else and patched it before it could be exploited in Monero.

For those who were here back in 2014(?), an attacker successfully caused a network fork in Monero by exploiting a bug again in CryptoNote.

Software is hard. One single typo in a line of code could potentially cause catastrophic failure. Monero exist in an adversarial environment with attacker looking for bugs / weaknesses to exploit. This is the risk we are dealing with. If you are going into buy into Monero or any other crypto, you should be aware of this risk.

I don't know what is the real intent of Fluffypony when he says "don't buy Monero", but I half suspect he ain't entirely joking.

P.S. Ultimately, action speaks louder than words. Our devs have worked largely unpaid and mostly unappreciated for many years to protect and enhance the privacy & financial wealth of the users and holders of Monero. So at least from me, I tip my hat off to Fluffypony, Smooth, Moneromooo and many more Monero devs / contributors for their hard work.

+1000 on this... hear hear. I too wanna re-iterate my appreciation for all that the XMR devs do for this project, and for all of us.

Oh, yeah sure they may get rich in the process but that's to be expected, amirite? Srsly, they're creating the perfect digital MONEY system for all of us out here in the world, and for benefit of all future generations too! And they're supposed to maintain some kind of Priestly Vow Of Poverty in the process? LOL get real...

I mean, srsly WTF else would you expect, in this case...?
If the creators of such a system get rich it just means the project is successful!
Quitcherbitchin' an' just get on the train, man, and come along for the ride! LOL

You two: would you stop already. Huge shit going down in the wild and you are having a pissing comp....ts ts SmoothIve seen better from you......

Okay, you could comment about the huge shit. Sounds interesting.

I think he just means All The Sound And Fury (Signifying Nothing?) out in BitcoinLand over the hard fork / chain split going's-on... Monero User Unaffected Wink
