Talking a lot, saying nothing. Something something "probabilities" i.e. still can't deterministically pinpoint the true spend.

Not to mention addresses and amounts are completely off the table.

Bottom line: they ain't got shit but they're frontin' like they do.

>That being said, the number is extremely low, and it's very hard to defend the position of "just wait another 10 years and we will get more developers". Monero is almost 9 years old and we still have one guy doing most of the development.

"Still one guy?" lol WTF you talking about, you do realize that the fully anonymous devs don't submit code directly, right?

Also worth noting is that the Monero Github repository currently has over 6.8K stars and frequent commits, it's still going strong.

And there's not that much else to work on as far as core development goes: D++, stealth addresses and RingCT are pretty much done apart from the odd optimization tweak, which leaves just ring sigs i.e. Seraphis. And remember that Monero readily "steals" tech developed by others, so we don't actually need dozens of engineers reinventing the wheel.

>What about semi-centralized institutions that actually give salaries to developers and researchers so they can focus on Monero's source code? After all, even if it's an open source project mostly driven by volunteers, these people still need to eat and having a salary provides (at least some) financial security to people.

That's what Monero MAGIC Grants are for.
