Monero
Mimblewimble has privacy features, but it also has the first really impressive, true scaling solution in crypto. Privacy-wise, Monero is probably better overall, but its scaling is abysmal, and neither coin can be treated as an impenetrable black box.
This. Monero will end up a dead coin sooner because of all the bloat it implemented.
Its all well and good to have differing opinions on what or what shouldnt work in a cryptocurrency, that part is completely understandable. But supporting a coin like grin on
literally the first day its genesis block is mined is just... interesting, thats all.
Some maximilast (like theymos has been in the past) might even call it shilling, but what do I know. Im pretty positive theymos knows more than I do in general about crypto, plus he is an admin of the forum, so he can govern as he sees fit... Im alright with that. I wouldnt have any use to buying anything like copper membership on here so it doesnt necessarily matter to me personally, I just felt a need to point out hypocrisy as I see it.
Btw LMDB, and especially bulletproofs, are things that both helped with scaling/memory issues in the past and drastically reduced fees.
Edit: Im not saying Monero should be accepted over grin or anything like that either... Im just saying bitcointalk should probably just stick to accepting only Bitcoin... if not, just dont be surprised/annoyed when swarms of people are trying to market there favorite favorite shitcoin too because they might have an interesting tweak to the mimnlewimble code or whatever. Its going to open Pandoras box in theymoss inbox. Lol
