Shocked Dude..Even bitcoin is not immune to the NSA. thats too far fetched now imo....NSA and Quantam Compute immunity that so many people want, comes with time, implementing I2P is still a great start for any coin, NSA immunity and such can come after.....

Note this fork of the discussion is going on in the Monero thread. Let's continue it there.


Either the Monero developers don't intend to provide anonymity against the NSA

As I understood by having (proxy) discussions with them, this is the case. By not intending to provide such anonymity, they aim to hit the sweet spot of being the "corporate coin", because corporations are hesitant to enter into Bitcoin due to all their transactions being open for competitors.


That is a good point, except that as far as I calculate Monero can't scale.

There will still be market for NSA-proof coins, when/if such can be developed.

Especially if they can also scale.

However there would also potentially be a market for a NSA-friendly coin which can also scale, since mainstream corporations may not want to use the NSA-blinded coin.

I'll be adding things to this list as I come across them.

Astute list.

I assume it will arrive sooner than 1.25 years. Wink
