No one is compelling anyone for anything. Monero as an open source project can be forked by anyone anytimes. There are no reasons to FUD.
If you don't like MoneroV, don't use it, simple.

It's not FUD, it's simple objective logic. So far the XMV dev's have yet to address how they're going to fix the privacy issue XMV devs are creating (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TlVsMTeT_nE) that will impact MoneroV users more than Monero users. People who use coins from Monero might be impacted depending on how many people use the XMV gained from the chain split and the originating XMR so XMR users have every right to get angry which is why the Monero community regards this as a hostile fork...it undermines XMR's privacy and shoots XMV's privacy in the foot even worse.


First read this news, this its really fork from Monero ? if really this its official fork from Monero may i know maybe statment from Developer Monero about this Fork its official or not Smiley Thanks

No, MoneroV not an official fork of Monero and at least some of us regard it as a hostile fork because as said earlier it has the potential to impact privacy of XMR, but more importantly it impacts XMV users more: https://twitter.com/monerocurrency/status/964484507352141825

This whole privacy issue could be avoided if they decided to start their own blockchain instead of trying to do a chain split on Monero's chain. Sumo created their own chain. Others have... it shouldn't be that hard, but XMV dev's don't care about their own users' privacy it would seem and are more interested in what seems to be a quick cash grab scheme...



This is simple as it is. Claiming monerov may put the previous transaction history from that particular address at risk. But I think that can be quite solved by moving your monero in a new wallet around the fork and again moving it out to another intermediate wallet and back to your original wallet after the fork. And hence claiming monerov without risking your history.

But isn't there a very high probability that most people won't follow that procedure?
