Every time I observe the #Monero brotherhood engaged in a discussion with Bitcoin cultists I wonder why they do that. useless and a waste of time. I suggest, mute and block and ignore.I used to try helping years ago but realized that you can't have a logical discussion with a person that is in a Bitcoin cult, same with a Monero person that thinks that everything else is garbage. Not worth it discussing.

Most Bitcoiners use Monero and do not speak up, personally, I do not know any Bifcoiner that doesn't, there, we just need to add value to the community with knowledge articlea and build more.

I have a wish lfor Monero & Nostr:

1. A Nostr oriented to Monero for zaps with a market place and gift cards, maybe Cake Wallet can make it happen with a grant to some genius Dev that take Amethyst and fork it into a Nostr Client with a cool name. Privacy first

What you guys think about ZANO?

Discussion

the conversations are valuable

not becasue anybody is going to convince their counterparty of anything

but because there are 50 lurkers watching the conversation

That may be true. It is a public conversation.

I usually don't aggressively argue Bitcoin vs Monero. I certainly have strong opinions on it, though, due to my experience and after reading Hijacking Bitcoin.

#monero

I also think that putting all into just one coin is not the way. We have a precedent of Gold, Silver, Copper.

Privacy is important, so prioritizing currency that gives us privacy (or at least better privacy) is good. I have not researched as much as I'd like on other privacy coins, so haven't checked out ZANO or others. Bitcoin Cash (BCH) may even be a good secondary coin to Monero.

good point

There is an amethyst fork called garnet which has been abandoned by the dev https://github.com/retrnull/garnet

and there is https://mostard.org/ for the web

I am trying out the #mostard nostr client, which has some Monero integration for sending a monero address a tip (like a zap).

I don't like Zano. It's at least 20% premine best case and potentially much higher worst case, but we can't verify what the exact number is. We just have to take the word of the devs. Being partly PoS also makes the premine worse because in effect it is a dev tax further tilting the advantage to holders of that initial premine who can just use their premine to collect even more coins. It also doesn't have actual smart contracts. More like Bitcoin colored coins. The assets created are centralized to the creator and you have to trust them to distribute fairly.
