This competitive mentality you guys have is something I hate, why can't both Monero and Bytecoin be successful together? Why does the Monero community have to constantly be hostile towards other coins? I dislike Monero for the same reason I disliked Darkcoin at the moment. Why can't we just be friends?

Are you serious?

I've been consistently helpful to people on this (i.e. Bytecoin) thread, especially newbs looking for technical assistance with their wallets or mining, even after deciding (some time ago) that my time was better spent working on Monero. Since I read this thread I also know that no one else from Monero is regularly saying anything negative here, and BCN is rarely mentioned anywhere else any more. Occasionally it happens but it is definitely the exception.

When we are attacked (as in suggesting we paid to get on an exchange when we did not) I will sometimes respond, although these days I often don't bothered* because we've been attacked, trolled, and FUD'ed to death for so long we've just become hardened to it.

There is no comparison between how much Monero has been attacked on this forum (nearly ever day) and how much Monero folks have attacked other coins (hardly ever).

Yes, I'm sure that you were helping the people on this thread because you are a kind, loving and selfless person.

Yes I'm going for the Nobel prize next year. Care to support my effort?

FYI, I'm even on this thread because I was one of the largest miners and traders of BCN for quite a while. I still hold a fair amount, perhaps enough to put me in the top 1% of those who started after the public reveal.

Yep, I saw your sells on the BitcoinTalk BCN trading thread, lots of BCN sold at pretty damn low prices. I even told you that the prices you set were too low if I remember correctly. Mining and trading is in your own best interest and not the best interest of the coin.

I'm surprised that you took my post so personally, I thought I was talking about the Monero community in general but okay.

You responded to me so...

Sorry but I responded to you because you were being negative about Bytecoin and you were responding to people being negative to Monero.

But hey, I might have just been unlucky and not got to talk to the cool people in the Monero community. I'm amazed that you consider a few random people who thought Monero was paid to get on an exchange (on a thread that is not even about Monero) an 'attack'.

In case you are not aware some of those same people post frequently on the Monero thread, as recently as today.

Regardless of whether the comment about paying for exchanges was an attack, my comment was not really an attack either. I was observing that there is a perspective common here that the success of Monero is entirely due to paid promotion, shills, and other manipulative tactics. As I said, I think this says a lot about the people who view success or failure of a coin in those terms (whether or not the belief about Monero is true, although it isn't).

I wasn't aware and if your comment wasn't an attack than neither was the post about the exchanges. The whole "your coin is falling behind' comment you made had nothing to do with the common perspective of the success of Monero here. So more than just observing yes?

Like really, at this point you would think Monero is so big, innovative, revolutionary, etc.. that people who 'attack' it in this way would be simply ignored and not taken seriously.

That is exactly what happens.

Then why bother responding to the people on this thread
