hw wallet in aplha... in september

wikileaks giving you the option to give away money in xmr

and devs who have publicly demonstrated that they will kill any attempt at a pump

what a fucking shitcoin

rip

edit: no offense meant @debruyne

Like how you criticize the minor stuff, but not a peep about the RingCT 2.0 paper, which will fix Monero's bloat problem, as well as massively increase the anonymity set at the same time. Dimwit troll alert. I remember when Monero used to have trolls with more than two brain cells to rub together, but now we have to make do with this. Oh well.

Hey, I hope RingCT 2.0 happens, HW wallet too (although I'd be surprised to see finished code anytime soon). But I don't see anything here that will drive the price up in the short to medium run. If so, the price in BTC risks falling down to the old price range of 0.0017-0.0040. If that happens some slightly enlightened soul will probably just fork this into a new coin with a new community willing to do what it takes to get all the pieces in place. I seem to remember Fluffyponzi saying something about monero being a research project. I had no idea how literal he was.

Oh, and regarding your disappointment in troll quality. Top Trolls don't waste their time on lower tier shitcoins. I've never been much of a fan, but a lot of people I respect believe in this coin (or at least they did until the fluffyponzi stunt). I'm kinda awestruck at how little is done to attract new users. GUI wallet needs to be polished and everyone here needs to kiss some serious ledger ass to get that hw wallet support asap (The friggin Trezor drama was amazeballs stupid) or this coin will die. If these things fall into place, and market cap and liquidity gets a bump up, it can find some real use cases in finance. If not it will lose to an xmr clone, or even zcash. That's if it hasn't lost already to Dash (yeez!).

Now that's a perfect example of simpleton troll fud, calling Monero a lower tier coin and spicing it up by saying how little work has been done with a pinch of dash and zec promoting ...
They usually do that when they place their bids low, we'll prolly see more of similar BS in coming days Undecided

Yeah, criticism is fud. Gotcha!

lolwut? All cryptocurrencies are research projects, and you're absolutely clueless if you want to argue otherwise. Bitcoin is a research project, certainly one that's more far along, but it's far from complete. Yes, Bitcoin has more "real" usage, but if traditional systems are an elephant, Bitcoin is a mouse and Monero a grasshopper. So what are you acting all haughty about? The outcome is far from decided.

As for your Fluffypony complaints, I didn't like his stunt, but his contributions to this project have FAR, FAR outweighed the harm.

We'll see. XMR isn't a smart contract platform. It needs traders to keep the wheels spinning.
