RE: Privacy coin comparisons and a real gem in the space after Pivx and Monero: Xuez

So, there's something we study/research on resource theory in quantum information theory. Any protocol which uses more resources is bad. If you have no idea about these things, there's no point arguing. We will talk after 5 years. Just a point, forget fridge, 60% of world's population is living in the dark with no electricity. Of course solar panels will bring them electricity but you add GPU/ASIC mining usage with that then panel price won't be within the reach of them (simple supply and demand). Only 2-3 countries produce solar panels. POS protocol came with the aim to remove these issues and you are now arguing POW is better :D. You must be having good time with your mining rigs (So do I)! Enjoy!

There are several banks in the world. If community cann't keep faith in Monero, there's no doubt that people will come up with several other better versions of monero just like banks. But if the working principles are the same for all these coin with a slight modification in the tech/application, then that's not decentralization. That's what I meant. Surely, a world with several banks is more decentralized than a world with just a single bank!

With Xuez or Pivx, you get a coin run by the community. And this simple change in the working principle matters a lot in the long run. I hope, you get my point, my friend!

But anyway, I like monero and Pivx(not zcash or zcoin ). The aim of this post is to introduce a new contender in the space.

There's nothing wrong with a healthy debate. I'm all for the PoW fun; tuning rigs as a hobby and for profit has me (and many of my peers) building barebones machines like it's the 90's again. PoS takes much of that away,, much of the technology replaced by monetary algorithms.

I may be biased but, let's agree to disagree on this one.

Bitcoin ... the shoe fits, but has lasted longer than 5yrs and likely will another. Let's talk then indeed.

Thanks for elaborating on my point; why some in the community choose to endorse the forks.

Personally, I think we need a purge. There are way too many coins and if that 'simple change' is all there is to these new competitors, then it likely won't be ground breaking.
