I will look up the complaints about Tor. I apologize for my tone and do not mean to speak ill of the Monero team. I still choose Monero and feel it has the best benefits overall.

If they do not meet our bar then they will not be able to join for now. Over time we will increase our methods to verify escorts. If we feel someone is not operating under their ow…

>and the remaining 5% are also vulnerable to things like warrants at the exchange and timing attacks I was under the impression that no exchanges handle shielded transactions. What…

Private-by-default is semi-dishonest. Many tx on Monero are owned by a few entities that are friendly with LE or may get hacked. Thus all those exchange tx or payment gateway tx th…

On 2: Monero is almost the same. ShapeShift does 7-15% of all tx at least. How many transactions are actually private after you consider hacks or LE warrants? Those TX are what you…

Because the decoy selection is not part of protocol not everyone is doing it. Some exchanges have increased ringsize but kept old selection system. Not to mention that exchanges ma…

Trusted setup only compromises the supply integrity not privacy. I am not a fan of Zooko or the Green comments on backdoors and LE but do not misrepresent trusted setup.

>This was a well-known design choice where the user could balance between transaction size and privacy--people who preferred faster/cheaper transactions chose to sacrifice untracea…

Monero has some real issues! These papers are OK but I am not sure if they focus on current practical issues: Main issue: Ringsize is small. Used to be 3 [why??] got bumped to 5 be…

We cannot launch our project too soon [details in profile]. We will do what we can to prevent trafficking: asking for ID and verifying they have an escorting presence is a good sta…

From what I remember, those rely on some older aspects of Monero no longer present. But more importantly, they do not provide positive guidance on exactly how much mixing [churn] w…

That is almost certainly how many people will view it, and is the reason why we are set-up as an extrajurisdictional company: it will make enforcement very difficult.

It certainly is a possibility. I am acutely aware of it every day. It is incredibly high stress. That is why our core team desires to hire people to run the business day-to-day, so…

Do not change my words. I am not pretending algorithmic magic will prevent sex trafficking. I am saying that, to the best of our abilities, we will ban it from our platform . At le…

I am pointing out that not all ICOs are pure-product-free-plays. Voting, we are uncertain how that would work but very much open to it. Dividends, yes, that is the entire point of …

We have consulted with lawyers. None of them are going to give the go-ahead on this project. Quote from one of them: There is no such things as extrajurisdictional, unless you're o…

>really We issue dividends which is more than you can say about SNAP.

More than that, our business is not legal in the US which is one of our primary markets.

Our ICO is really an IPO. We are selling shares in our company (unregulated security). We have a real business model, good fundamentals. And before the full ICO, we will have a wor…

How so? I am aware that if our opsec fails, a creative prosecutor will have no shortage of options to go after me with. It won't shut down the operation because a successor will re…

This. At my company, we want a way to show investors our actual revenue numbers in an auditable manner, trustless. This is because we are extrajurisdictional and have high opsec co…

We facilitate sex work, yes. We do not support trafficking, we verify IDs first, and we will use pattern recognition to detect trafficking/pimps and ban them from our platform. Thi…

They would need to break our opsec, at which point a civil suit is the least of my concerns.

>Then you're in for a lot of trouble if you get investigated, audited, or whatever Yes that is accurate. This endeavor relies on me getting our opsec right.
