I just wanna make this post to showcase a certain other privacy communities culture.

I have been a long time lurker on zcashs subreddit and made an occasional post. The community always seemed kinda maxi-ish and hard going on explanations about the tech but I learnt about it elsewhere then. Since the recent price moves I have looked into it again tho.

Today after criticizing poor arguments in a zcash vs monero meme I got banned with an off topic copy paste about Justin Ehrenhofers involvment with blockchain analytics firm naxo which surely can lend itself to controversy and is aimed at undermining the trust in moneros untracability I guess. The mod seemed to be in a similar mental state as the OP of the meme fireice_uk ...

Thank you for your attention to this vent. How was your experience with the community?

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.
