I love monero and have been buying and using it since early 2017.
In saying that, it's a pain in the ass. Buying is difficult because of exchange desistings. Using it is difficult due to having to sync the whole fucking massive blockchain. Sending it is annoying, in part because of the privacy features that also make it great.

>>57766021
>Does it also have a finite supply like Bitcoin?
Current circulating supply is 18,147,820.
Monero has also improved upon the scaling downsides of current popular cryptocurrencies. To avoid high fees, dynamic block size ensures that the size of the blocks will increase as the amount of transactions increases. Further, the mining network algorithm RandomX establishes that anybody with a CPU can participate in mining, preventing the ASIC miner domination that creates a high barrier to entry. Lastly, the mining network will be preserved by Tail Emission -- instead of the block reward falling to zero like with Bitcoin, the block reward gradually approached 0.6 XMR in June 2022, where it will forever stay. This constant linear inflation means the inflation rate will asymptotically go to zero while continuing to provide an incentive to miners to maintain the network.

Bitcoin doesn't have a finite supply. Just because they say it doesn't make it true.
Bitcoin supply will be whatever makes the network run.

XMR could also just have claimed a fixed supply, cutting off the tail emission in the year 2200. They probably should have just so the plebs shut up.

>> No.57766286

I get that if an inflation bug was ever discovered in Monero, it would be totally fucked and there's nothing they could do about it since you wouldn't be able to detect when/if it was used.
But it's been like 10 years now and such a bug still hasn't been discovered. After what point can we be reasonably sure that the algorithm is safe and no such bug exists?
>>57766101
Doesn't that come with security risks?
I think it still takes a while to sync an old wallet on a remote node because you have to scan through the entire blockchain for incoming transactions. With a newer wallet you can start from a higher blockchain height, so it depends on how far back the transactions in your wallet go

>> No.57766378

>>57766358
Sadly, never. A currency can never be money or world money if it can't be audited for sure instantly, and we can discover an inflation bug that was exploited and spread for a while. The subject was why Monero didn't catch up like bitcoin. This was one reason.

Here's a good talk about inflation bugs in general. There are different types of bugs, there was an inflation/octo-spend bug in monero (and all CryptoNote currencies) that was detectable but was not used in Monero.

>After what point can we be reasonably sure that the algorithm is safe and no such bug exists?
After the Seraphis update if there's a formalization/streamlining of the protocol, you could mathematically prove that no inflation can occur. Then it only comes down to verifying that the implementation is correct, which is an issue with all software.

This is truckers, most of them used opendimes during the convoy protests, little usb drives to pass Bitcoin around without making transactions.
They would glaze over if you tried discussing privacy or ring signatures, not to mention the abysmal node sync times, that there weren't easy exchanges like coinbase, retard-proof wallets like wallet of satoshi, etc. Freedom convoy was a complete failure to educate or market, expecting Monero to win just because it has muh technology. Even after they had their Bitcoin blocked or seized the still had no clue what Monero was.
