In regards to Anonymint, when he speaks I would pay attention. He is at genius / near genius levels when it comes to cryptography and math. If he says it cannot scale, it cannot scale. The blockchain CANNOT be pruned anywhere near enough for it to be a practical, anonymous currency.

Yes, Anonymint is quite a genius in that regard, but Moore's law shouldn't be forgotten about. Yes it scales worse than Bitcoin, but that's the cost for the true anonymity it offers (unlike Darkcoin. Let me quote gmaxwell (about btc nodes): "[14:22:44] Zomg $1 in diskspace required to run a node!" Even if the blockchain is 1 TB in 10 years it isn't hard to run a node. Yes there is some entry barrier for new users to not run a spv-client. 20GB is nothing! It maybe takes a few hours to download, but diskspace will never be a problem of cryptocurrencies, hence this "scaling issue" is even worse with DRK, because CJ splits tx into hundreds of sub-x, that bloat the blockchain way worse.

Monero supporters are almost as bad as the religious cuckoos that deny evolution. What part of cannot scale don't you understand? Have fun trading your proof of concept amongst yourselves. Just hope the community doesn't grow too big, or you won't even be able to send coins!

It's nice to see how informed you are about CryptoNote...
First off, the scaling issue AnonyMint was talking about it diskspace, that has nothing to do with the maximum of allowed txs in blocks/the maximum block size.
XMR has adaptive block sizing up to 5MB with 1min block time, so block saturation - like in btc - shouldn't be a problem for a long time

If I spent time addressing half the idiocy that you have the audacity to call a point, I'd be here a while. I think I'll go with Anonymint over your lazy devs. What have they even accomplished other than some half baked pool fixes?

It's nice to see how informed you are about ~~CryptoNote~~ Monero...

Optimizing the alg 50 times
Fixing bugs(a whole lot), clearing and unobfuscating the BCN code
Mnemonic wallets
Open-source pools (not just a fix for them lol). Before there was only Minergate for BCN, closed source and 10% fee
built-in I2P implementation in c (in development)
Proper database implementation for the blockchain(in development)
tx-auto-split
RPCwallet
daemonized daemon
Multiple GUI wallets

And the list is not even completed. Here are some reasons to add why you should use XMR
