>The monero community is full of liars, paid propagandists, idiots, and manipulative criminals like spagni
Compared to what other crypto group? xmr is the most welcoming of criticism.
>In Monero you can't ask questions that aren't "officially accepted"
where? Even the leddit forum is pretty open by leddit standards.
The dev IRC workgroup holds public meetings, there are multiple forums including this one and monero.house...
>or outside of "skepticism Sunday" (what a retarded concept).
Skepticism sunday is just some reddit event where users are encouraged to be skeptical. As opposed to r/bitcoin or something where you will be immediately banned for ever questioning bitcoin even a little bit. See the r/btc and bitcoin cash censorship back in 2017.
>I'm glad that even on twitter, they're finally calling monero out for being the stupid shitcoin
The latest twitter drama is a total nothing burger. Let's review:
- Fluffypony, a non-active dev is bused by feds (doesn't matter even if he was active, it's an open source project where all changes made are public and audited)
- an RPC project (mymonero rpc) for an old wallet literally no one uses (mymonero) has access to the wallet (that's what RPC is for)
- An old research paper suggests that output spamming almost worked back when ring-size was 50% smaller (at the cost of enriching non-active monero users by destroying xmr through fees), assuming the victim doesn't churn ever. These people should check out the "breaking monero" series on youtube!

Phew... this is almost as bad as a couple months ago when a mysterious hacker revealed that monero had... wait for it... bootstrap servers!

I wonder what group of people are so eager to throw mud on xmr? pic related ... It's afraid.

>It doesn't hard fork to a new, untested privacy protocol every 6 months
Monero's privacy tech is audited and very well understood. check out "Zero to Monero" (https://web.getmonero.org/library/Zero-to-Monero-2-0-0.pdf))
>or go PoS
There is a single company that sells the vast majority of bitcoin miners (antminer). What happens when the gov looks into controlling mining? PoS is not that much worse than ASIC mining. I am not saying that it should switch to PoS of course. But even if it just switched to a GPU-bound system that would be a major improvement over what you have today.
>or change the emission rate
If you keep this dangerous emission schedule, bitcoin succumbs to mining attacks and fails. If you do change the emission schedule, you won't be able to say that there is a limited supply, even though this will have basically no real impact on inflation. Oof tough choice, anon.
>stop trying to ride Bitcoin's dick 24/7
Insulting bitcoin is the exact opposite of "riding bitcoin's duck"

>users will pay whatever fees necessary
It doesn't matter what fees users pay. The blocksize is non-adjustable, so the amount of transactions per second does not increase with demand. The transaction rate is exactly the same in times of low demand as in times of high demand. That means ordinals and shit is literally preventing bitcoiners from using bitcoin as cash: that block-space that would otherwise be occupied by a real transaction.
Monero doesn't have this problem because here are no NFTs, and it is only usable as fungible cash. Bitcoins have this problem because all bitcoins are non-fungible from the start (Colored Coins). Not to mention the adjustable block-size which adapts to suit periods of high demand at the cost of reducing the block reward.

>mining dominated by a handful of pools, all ASICs now manufactured by a single company, bitcoiners gave up on p2pool
>le old bitcoin codebase using 10+ year old cryptography, underdeveloped-yet-overcomplicated scripting system, 32bit nTime bug, various bugs like the discrete "halfenings" as pointed out by CryptoNote whitepaper
>retarded blocksize forces everyone to use the centralized lightning network, will never be able to onboard users on a global scale due to cost of opening channels, LN still susceptible to sybil attacks
>the last remaining "true bitcoiners" left after XT dispute, community education has failed and >90% of bitcoiners are moonboys who keep their bitcoin on exchanges, bitcoin will never be able to hard fork again because of retarded community
>satoshi gone, leadership gone, no network upgrades, development is completely controlled by blockstream
>gave up on privacy and fungibility, all CopeJoin outputs are considered tainted and blocked from KYC exchanges, chainalysis wreaks havoc, mixers like samurai or tornado cash shut down by feds and no one cares
>bitcoin's flaws and bugs are constantly marketed as "features" by bagholders, ensuring that they will never be fixed
>"uh, actually fungibility and privacy is bad because it prevents me from counting the coins by hand like a fucking retard. therefore my bags are worth 1000x your bags checkmate monero shills"
cope and seethe bittard
