I’m taking on the mantle this week.

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.

    Fees are designed to decrease as there is more transactions. Recent stress tests have shown the network can do about 500k transaction per day before some stability issues start. Fixes and improvements are in the works. We are most likely still 5 years away from any significant TX volume on Monero.
