The real merit of this coin lies in the anonymity enhancing features of the protocol and the robust decentralization implied by CPU-mining. Without those, it is just another pump and dump. If they can be improved and made more robust, the coin may have a bright future. I worry about the BMO fork, however. Quazarcoin and bytecoin are transparent scams, and will die naturally, but BMR vs MRO is a serious problem for image and marketing.

Valid point. We should take care about BMR resurrection and reach agreement or cooperation with thankful_for_today.

This is actually as confusing to us as you. At one point, thankful_for_today said he was okay with name change: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=563821.msg6368600#msg6368600

Then he disappeared for more than a week after the merge mining vote failed. Two days ago he PM'd us saying he regretted not listening to the community more and about working together. We proposed setting up a sourceforge for MRO to have a mailing list, which thankful_for_today said he would. Then all of a sudden there was a PM followed by the same posted on here implying the old name was still in effect. And I don't know what else that entails.

That's pretty much it. There's no other behind-the-scenes discussion between him and us. thankful_for_today is often gone and acts a bit strange sometimes, but he's not malicious at all. So I think this will sort itself out fine. Ideally, he'll stay as a dev and contribute to the github (anyone can do that by the way -- this project is now completely decentralized).

Everything will work out. Monero is doing so good. Those that helped bring it about will come together and make it even better.

Any recommendations on community trusted OTC buys for Monero?

thanks in advance.
