Stay on topic:

  • This thread 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 its 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.

How it works:

  1. Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this thread.

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

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

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

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.

    If the farmer accepts XMR over the darknet (I’m really hoping that XMR adoption will lead to widespread use of I2P over TOR), the government is going to have a fairly hard time of it without active 0-days.

    He needs to use the darknet and keep his mouth shut, and things will fine unless he’s a kingpin of sorts

      yea tor and monero go hand in hand, but even over tor. take mr fed going to that farmer store over tor paying in monero, at some point he has to get his vegetables physically, where he can identify who the farmer is (cant just send food by mail i guess ?)

      if the farmer has to retain his anonymity, he needs a way to send his vegetables anonymously to the buyer
