Calling non-monero holders

[Anonymous No.53094517]

Anons who do not use monero, what (if anything) is your perception of it and its community?

This is not a thread to educate people who don't use monero or to shill monero, go to /XMR/ for that. I just want opinions of outsiders looking in, however surface level they may be.

Not sure about it. It sure has some potential but i'm always turned down by the fact that mass adoption is imposible with current tech and i feel uncomfortable with the idea of pow and 51 attacks. Im not saying there is something better out there but monero is clearly a transition to a usable coin. We have a long way ahead.

It's necessary for security. Even people who have their Bitcoin sitting in cold wallets are still using the network, relying on the security provided by miners. So a miner subsidy in the form of minimal, controlled inflation makes sense. Especially for a currency where the point is for the coin to be used, not sat on unmoving for 100 years.

I think Monero is next to BTC and ETH the only cryptocurrency that should be relevant.

I don't use it or buy it because it doesn't make sense for the price to go up, in my opinion

>mass adoption
Why is it that so many normans are obsessed with "mass adoption"?
Monero doesn't need to be widely adopted. It can just be the private undercurrent of widely adopted crypto currency. It is clear that something like Bitcoin or Ethereum will need a digital swiss bank to store assets...

absolutely great - cash should be private. why would anyone not want a means of transacting that preserves privacy.
however, I wish I understood better what limitations it has... but anytime I've tried to find out more about what it can/can't do, I've ended up giving up rather than deal with the 'community'

this might sound exaggerated but i don't think its an impossible scenario. avoiding the issue won't make it go away. i hate when monero maxis talk about replacing the current financial system and then they start doing mental gymnastics to explain how this problem will be solved in the future and when they run out of arguments they just say

in the year 2030, 100gb will be hardly anything. Monero could unironically handle 100gb per month right now. You can already get 10tb ssds.
Plus if Monero is widely adopted then there will be far more interest in solutions for scaling.
>and when they run out of arguments they just say
No. You are just creating this naive hypothetical that isn't even close to reality. 99% of cryptocurrency "adoption" is speculative hype. To act like in 7 years CBDCs will be the only thing used, BTC and ETH no longer exist, XMR is being "quickly adopted" in third world shitholes, and that "only wealthy people will be able to hold the chain and mine" (wtf does mining have to do with this?) just shows me that you have literally no idea how any of this actually works.
You are unironically a normie when it comes to understanding technology.

Limitations:
Wallet sync. Ones wallet has to sync, meaning it has to download the blockchain from the last time it connected to the present. That can get data heavy depending on the last time the wallet synced. It is especially annoying when the user knows that they don't have incoming e-notes in such a sync.
10 block lock. One can't perform another send until the sent e-note has at least 10 blocks mined.
Wallet mirroring. If one desires to use different wallets, they can get out of sync. This can happen if one wallet sends monero, and no change is coming back. The other wallet won't see that due to the encryption.
It can take 10-15 seconds for the tx to hit the mempool.
The official GUI wallet itself is clunky. The project has a reputation to hard fork.
Everything except the 10 block lock is getting dealt with on Seraphis / Jamtis fork, which is 2-3 years away.

what? I have never had this issue. Especially with my node, it is instant.
>The project has a reputation to hard fork.
this is essential for a privacy project, though. Hard forking is a good thing.
>Everything except the 10 block lock is getting dealt with
The lock time may actually get decreased, actually. It's been talked about before. 10 is probably too much.

I personally have no problems with that. There are others that do though.

I have heard others not like that. Compared to visible chains, concepts like sweeping and churning seem foreign. In any case, these things can be seen as off-putting to other crypto users.

you must not run a node.
if you are using a mobile wallet it might take a couple seconds. Zero conf is basically instant though.

It's much less of a threat, given the malicious Bitcoin devs came from the corporate world, whereas Monero repels them.

there's a bunch of easy ways, if you're looking for the best prices you'll probably have to pay by card and do KYC with a cex with binance or kraken, but ensure that they're accepting withdrawals before you buy some.

you could also use a dex like localmonero or bisq where you buy it from people, though bisq requires all transactions to be to/from btc (so you'd need to do e.g. bank transfer > btc and then btc > xmr), and it also requires a download.

you could also buy btc somewhere else and convert it to xmr with atomic swaps or one of those automated exchanges (like https://sideshift.ai) which would probably be fastest.

That's only true IF:

a) you have a sufficiently high threat profile (99% of users don't) AND
b) you're going to be depositing the received funds *directly* to a KYC exchange OVER and OVER again.

Otherwise, relax.

There are no addresses visible anywhere on the Monero blockchain.
