> But again, please don't argue onchain Bitcoin is more private than onchain monero...
I don't. Onchain bitcoin is less private than onchain monero...unless you use coinjoin + stealth addresses, in which case, I think it's about the same, though sometimes better (due to coinjoins sometimes having larger anonymity sets).
If anything coinjoins are worse. They don't hide amounts. Since amounts are visible it leaves you more open additional heuristics that can reduce/undo obfuscation.
Some coinjoins may have a larger anonymity set for a single coinjoin, but I doubt that is true over time and over multiple transactions since they are optional. Very few transactions are coinjoins and the few that do are likely not for every spend. Additionally your anon set shrinks over time as those prior coinjoin peers make mistakes or send those funds to be KYC'd by exchanges and there is nothing you can really do about that.
Strong default privacy is important.
You are conflating anonymity with privacy.
Onchain bitcoin is NEVER private, as amounts + sender + receiver are always recorded onchain.
It can be pseudonymous (you don't know who the addresses belong to) at best, but never anonymous, as you can always see the addresses.
And over time, because of this, the pseudonimity tends to turn into certainty.
What are you going to say by the end of the year when FCMPs++ are activated, Monero has zcash-style anonymity of 1 in 100 million AND FCMPs++ allows tx chaining which will enable Lightning-like L2s? will Monero be simply superior by then, or will you just join the other maxis and say "monero bad because price go down"?
I am honestly curious what will you think of it and how will bitcoin remain superior for you
Everytime super strawman posts about Monero, I become more convinced of its viability. 🤣 I have to assume he is purposely reverse evangelizing at this point. Everytime someone makes a valid point, he rewards them with an ad hominem meme, and everyone who asks a valid question gets a monero sales pitch.
He can't handle to have a response for your question 😅🤣
What you have to say about FCMPs? 👀
Some times is better to not talk when you haven't any arguments 👀
I'm a huge fan of the FCMP idea and I look forward to seeing them implemented
It will make the fight much more fair
Will that require yet another hardfork on monero?
Yep. And Bitcoin still remains the same surveillable blockchain it was 15 years ago.
Yes skipper, that means the majority of all node runners will voluntarily upgrade their nodes to get the latest features that benefit them and improve the protocol
Hard forks are not a moment for a major community political mental breakdown in more focused projects.
No one holds their life savings on that hotpotato (due unlimited total supply & non-auditable current supply) so it makes sense that you guys don't care about hardforking every few months.
Gold has an unlimited total supply and is similarly non-auditable. We will never know how much gold exists for certain the way we do bitcoin, and yet gold has been a SOV for centuries.
I know you know all this already, because others have tried to communicate these facts to you for a year if not two on Nostr.
Haven't heard of this so looking into FCMPs++ at the moment, seems pretty epic so far
