I went over their PDF and was surprisingly relieved tbh -
"MoneroV will adhere to core Austrian school of economics principles by capping the total MoneroV coins that can be
created, parting with Moneros infinite coin supply structure." - This I very much like, same as bitcoin being finite.
"MoneroV will issue bounty programs for top-tier developers and researchers to
rapidly develop all aspects of the MoneroV network." For anybody into Monero, this is quite an important part.
".. plans to tackle the scaling issues, which is the main source of problems in Monero, and
in all cryptocurrency coins for that matter, and integrate the MimbleWimble protocol so that the
blockchain size will be bound to the number of users using MoneroV (not the number of
transactions being made in the network)." Now this is really ambitious (might be too - ambitious?) and should take a couple of years if they are serious.
"For example.. the centralization of decision making that prevents the implementation of new features, the scaling issue of a bloated blockchain, the high transaction fees, and the growing
hash rate that is mainly based on mass usage of botnets and unsuspected browser based miners
that prevents genuine miners to compete." Hit the nail on these, but again, how will it be actually solved?
In any case, I'd recommend waiting and seeing their code before all else. But it's safe to say that this looks somewhat legitimate and might even be coming from within the Monero community.
This are all issues people there are worried about, but will come down to if they would really release code, open source wallets we could all check etc.
