Notorious programmer, convicted felon and Thai prostitutes enjoyer Riccardo Spagni (aka fluffypony) just stole $500k from the Monero community fund to continue financing his glamorous lifestyle.
The monero project can no longer pay its developers and will likely be sold to a VC or government agency.

Allegedly. Those ladyboy can get pretty expensive especially when you have degenerate tastes.

>Just to add to this, it's entirely possible that it's related to the ongoing attacks that we've seen since April, as they include a variety of compromised keys (including Bitcoin wallet.dats, seeds generated with all manner of hardware and software, Ethereum pre-sale wallets, etc.) and include XMR that's been swept.

what do you think is more likely: common random number generators used by billions having a mysterious unknowable flaw, or people who should know better leaving their funds on a wallet for 7+ years and eventually accidentally exposing their keys

The one they set in 2017 is untouched though, if I understand correctly it is the one that was set up on an offline computer that got compromised, somehow.

you could throw millions at monero devs and they still wouldn't be able to add true membership proofs into their compromised ringct model.
they don't have the talent, which makes sense since its just a fork

All we need is unironically ZCash without any of the pozzed PoS and non-shielded transactions. Monero is a fucking joke like the rest of crypto, maybe because everyone got in this space to make a quick shekel and gives no fucks about the fundamentals. The fact that Monero, this clunky security by obscurity garbage cooked up by amateur methheads is the #1 privacy coin today and nobody else is interested in privacy is just fucking sad.
I'm convinced Bitcoin itself would have hardforked to include privacy, but glowniggers killed Hal before he got to finish his magnum opus.

zcash was destined to zero with the 20% perpetual premine going to the devs that sell forever, it never stood a chance. then vitalik swooped in and took their only feature leaving them for dead.

monero is only #1 because nobody wants to get paid in something that only goes down like zec. it has nothing to to with privacy tech, the people using monero only need low level privacy in the first place.

endgame is just privacy through upper layers. base layer privacy was nice before they decided monero wasn't important enough to just outright ban in some countries or platforms. if using your privacy tool is as bad as using blacklisted coins on a public network you're no better in either case.

how so? unless you compromise your privacy yourself, how would anyone know you're even using it? how can you even compare it to using an un-obfuscated public ledger?

if you're capable of hiding your usage of it you're capable of doing the exact same thing on an auditable blockchain.

monero doesn't solve any of the legal problems of blacklisting funds or coin taint because where those issues exist the end result is the entire monero currency/blockchain being treated as tainted.
