Since this is the Monero thread I need some of you to talk some sense in to me. After seeing Vericoin I can't come up with a good reason to hold XMR when VRC is looking better in every aspect I can think of. Surely I'm missing something here and I'd like to be set straight if possible.
Does Monero have a GUI wallet yet btw? If not, timeline?
you must be joking right, vericoin is just the pump and dump of the moment, it offers nothing at long term, people going to vericoin now are like a moth to flame.

Ok so Vericoin isn't anon then? It's not implemented in the coin? It's just a concept?
If Vericoin offers nothing long term, what does Monero offer long term? I like Monero I just want to make sure I'm on the right page here and find out what is true and what is not.
Anon is not implemented in vericoin. It is "supposed" to use a coinjoin based anon feature, which is hardly anonymous as shown by the unraveling of sharecoin's(blockchain) coinjoin..and as said by gmaxwell, the maker of coinjoin. Coinjoin may be the worst "anonymous" feature you can have in a coin as you will always need two or more people to "mix" transactions, and even then it's fairly easy to find out the sender and reciever.
https://bt.irlbtc.com/view/602041.0 <-----Vericoin's "anon feature" is not incorporated in its coin at this time. It's "anon feature" is also based off of Darkcoin's masternode/Darksend system as you can see. You should note that Darkcoin's masternode/darksend is closed source, and there has been many coins running to make a anonymous feature similar to Darkcoin's, such as Supercoins with it's Supernodes, XC with it's Xnodes, Vericoin with it's Veribit's and more.
Out of all the coins that use coinjoin for "anonymous" sending, Darkcoin's is the only one that has a decentralized and trustless system, XC's anonymous sending is trusted and you must rely on the fact that the Xnodes wont steal your coins, though they could. Supercoin's Supernodes are trusted as well and not even available atm(it's all just talk), and Vericoin's Veribit's are also trusted and not available atm(it's just all talk)
I really really suggest you do research Este Nuno, as you seem a bit clueless atm to be honest. 99% of those "anonymous" coins using coinjoin based Darkcoin anonymity are just pretending to do so so the dev's can make a quick buck, look at Libertycoin and HonorCoin for example, the devs ran off with a ton of Bitcoin after dumping it all on the exchange while they pretended to be making anonymous features for the coin,and worse. Vericoin, Supercoin, Pinkcoin, Orangecoin, Cloakcoin, Veilcoin, etc are all essentially copying/pretending to copy Darkcoin's masternodes/darksend in an attempt to make a quick buck off dull-witted buyers.
