Guys I'd like XMR and hodl some. But what about new alts as Spectre and Sumo for example? And I think we see new in this year. Can XMR successfully compete with such novics? Yes, great XMR community and solid history are good. But young and ambitious coins may well crowd out veterans Grin

What you think?

I think you should learn about how privacy coins work instead of asking the speculation thread. If you believe low cap and potential are synonymous and that every claim is attainable, you are going to buy a lot of shitcoins. Research cryptography and how crypotcurrencies work rather than letting some shill tell you how, "____coin has the best privacy ever!" based on nothing but some anonymous dev who can't even explain how it will work, nor the last project he/she worked on.

If it sounds too good to be true, ask for a whitepaper and check with someone you trust to see if it passes the smell test. If someone is telling you don't need proof or that the returns are too big to pass up on, they are likely just trying to get you to buy their bags and don't care what happens to you or your savings.

Buyer Beware should be too obvious to need repeating, but greed and naiveté gets the best of even the most rational investor/speculator when they are first getting into crypto.

What you say about those investigation? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2788384.0

stealth address: b5ada231ffb6e1a83430e038847e91e6d734d6bc58287b4e693f12823732f947

To ensure that uneducated people are not called Monero "isn't privacy coin", its authors have removed a richlist that can exist (these addresses ordered by amounts), because this richlist does not mean anything at all.
Here is the Monero address: 4AYhVqhdEdkNSXT8UFjzAALAg4NMYURUjWdiNZCEzBTbWwkNXo1BTRCZzTcjYYDpdivhSUwG3kPV8hb T7vEzBgKRg4UW2b8z
How much money is there? Can not answer - means Monero is privacy (due stealth addresses).
Also Monero uses Ring-signatures to hide TX-sender - it makes transactions untraceable.
Run the script: https://github.com/DotNetRussell/MoneroUserScraper to obtain the IP addresses "213.114.82.127", "82.161.134.181", "73.150.225.122", ... the Monero wallets and nodes. Those that are constantly located are servers/pools/miners, which occasionally are wallets: https://dotnetrussell.com/index.php/2017/10/21/locating-monero-users-via-transaction-broadcasts/
Found the IP-addresses of members of the network Monero - is not anonymous.

What should I do more for investigation? It's not enough?
