Crypto is much safer than fiat. In crypto, you're responsible for your own financial security. One problem among many here, is that this particular project lacks usability like a basic GUI wallet for users that are less technical. In almost three years, the developers of this project seem to think that a web wallet is a better solution since they can't figure out how to make a GUI wallet. No competent crypto investor would consider using a web wallet unless its for trading. It's probably why the people on the scam market kept their funds there because they had no other option besides an exchange. Drug addicts aren't the best examples of human intelligence out there. No offense to any here.
http://www.slideshare.net/boolberry/boolberry-solves-cryptonoteflaws-37055246Cryptozoidberg is a far better developer than the combined efforts of the team behind this project. If you're smart and hell bent on investing in crypto note projects, you'll take a position in BBR as he just returned to the project over the weekend after a year absence from the project. SDC is another solid project and with its marketplace coming in the next major update it'll prevent further scams like the one that unfolded here today.
LSS - XMR is done. Get out while you can before you're left with a bag of fluffycoins on mymonero.com. Reinvest in BBR and SDC to recoup your loss here.
You've made a fundamental mistake here, which was assuming that the developers of Monero give two shits about "investors". This project isn't a pump vehicle. The developers are working on making useful software, not flashy bullshit. If anything, most of the developers actively discourage investment in Monero!
Personally, I wouldn't mind if the "investors" (read: people who complain and act entitled without contributing anything of value) got bent for another year or two.
You must be new here.. If you aren't, then explain to me why the majority of articles I have seen that mentions SDC or another privacy coin, just happens to have flufflyshill and co. in the comment section directing sheep to invest in XMR. The same fluffy that runs mymonero.com.
since they can't figure out how to make a GUI wallet
A GUI wrapper is actually a very easy thing to make when compared to the actual platform underneath. Incomparably easier. So it isn't this. It isn't this at all. The team just obviously values things like RingCT and database implementation more highly. Many of us are inclined to agree. I am inclined to agree.
I can't tell whether or not I should feel bad for someone who thinks a fucking wrapper is more important than something like RingCT.
I fully understand the difference between a protocol improvement over usability. However, you, along with the developers here don't see the underlined value in making a project more accessible to a wider audience of non-technical users. These non-technical users are the ones who will ultimately determine if the currency is or isn't adopted. What we see here in these statements along with the last 2-3 years of development is a complete disregard for the larger majority of crypto users to meet these basic utility requirements. What percentage of that disregard is incompetence is up for anyone to decide. I'd say it's a larger portion since mymonero.com is a widely accepted solution.
This project is fizzling out to make room for similar projects with better usability and as a result higher adoption rate and market penetration. Specifically SDC, BBR and ZCASH. Unfortunately for delirious bagholders they never seem to realize a killshot until its too late.
