MODERATORS
 

Stay on topic:

  • This thread is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.

  • NOT the positive aspects of it.

  • Discussion can relate to the technology itself or its economics.

  • Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.

  • Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.


How it works:

  1. Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this thread.

  2. If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them -- reply to that comment. This will make it easily sort-able.

  3. Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.

  4. The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.


The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.

My only concerns are Monero devs, what measures are devs taking to avoid something like the highjacking of Bitcoin?.

@gunnm @k4r4b3y its Jon of the comunity to keep the devs in check.... that being said I think it's much harder to hijack monero.... monero has a clear goal, an unstopable mean of exchange value in a private and fungible way, in bitcoin there is not an unique narrative and the narratives that it have have been changing over time
