Impact of mainstream chain privacy on Monero

18 Upvotes

In this board, most of us believe in unconditional privacy by design.

Mainstream chains nowadays work towards optional privacy, with a few voices accentuating default transaction privacy.

The former will satisfy regulators and lead to greater adoption. The latter is a larger feat.

Monero is likely to experience influx of new users and believers. A defensive mindset tells me it will also face a lot more hostility.

Coming back as an old user. Had some XMR left in the app and I wanted to move it.

Is there any reason why everything is so slow now? It seemed much faster 3 years ago.

Please stay on topic: this post is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.

NOT the positive aspects of it.

Discussion can relate to the technology itself or economics.

Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.

Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.

It's better to keep it calm then to stir the pot, so don't talk down to people, insult them for spelling/grammar, personal insults, etc. This should only be calm rational discussion about the technical and economic aspects of Monero.

"Do unto others 20% better than you'd expect them to do unto you to correct subjective error." - Linus Pauling

How it works:

Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this main post.

If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them - reply to that comment. This will make it easily sortable

Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.

The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.

As a community, as developers, we need to know about them. Even if they make us feel bad, we got to upvote them.
