The biggest issue in Cryptocurrency today is anonymity.
The only real anonymous technology is cryptonote.
Monero is the best of all cryptonote coins.
For this reason, Monero is the most important altcoin you should invest.
Experts agree with that.https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=400235.msg6915300#msg6915300(please don't pollute rpietila's thread, don't post anything)
I read and disagreed with the analysis for the following reasons:
1. Darkcoin instant mining is NOT true. Darkcoin value at formation was close to zero. ANYONE could have bought available supply in the early days. The fact that the devs bought and held attests to their foresight and self belief. But, I don't think they hold anywhere near 2 Million coins. I know one Chinese miner who has 300k darks though.
2. Monero is not tested technology. I just don't know anything about it and it hasn't been around long enough. However, if darkcoin works, why should I bother with untested tech?
3. Darkcoin is based on the bitcoin protocol, which is tested. It is not perfect but it is definitely good enough.
4. Darkcoin is undervalued compared to litecoin, which offers no privacy.
5. If monero tech is any good, why shouldn't I buy bytecoin, upon which it is based?
These are my objections. Please debunk and question them.
