  • As a few examples

    Removing mordinals was a maximally private idea. Adding templating to Tari was done as the flip side of this, to maximize how many people can express themselves on chain.

    In monero vanity addresses are not possible on chain to maximize privacy. In Tari every address is made of emojis that are encouraged to be shortened with yats.

    Smart contracting is huge, it gets people excited. Tari can be like the smart contracting platform monero needs to get people using privacy preserving technology.



  • It’s absolutely a sales pitch but I’m sorry to hear I’m doing it badly.

    I don’t think I need to convince anyone here to accept it since the work that the architects put into Tari will speak for itself.

    I love the idea of distributed computing and the way I see it, Monero has always had the most potential to grow and be adopted because of it’s privacy features. But we haven’t seen that in what people are building. ETH and SOL are blowing XMR out of the water when it comes to available dapps. I think Tari could be like the ETH arm of the Monero distributed computer.


  • I think there will be a lot of push back from hardcore Monero users who want absolute privacy and offering anything else is unacceptable.

    I’d counter to say that maybe that works for you but it clearly doesn’t work for everyone. We’re getting maximum privacy at the cost of user experience and it’s causing adoption to faulter.

    We all agree that we’re not seeing the wave of adoption we’d expect with such an important project. One reason for that may be the sacrifices we’ve made in the name of maximizing privacy.

    Tari is a way to have both, maximum privacy and some compromises that will increase onboarding. All while increasing the XMR hash rate through merge-mining.











  • I know there’s a resistance to centralized exchanges but I can’t see this as anything but bad for people’s access to Monero.

    Kraken has always been reputable and delisting from here means millions of people are losing an easy to use on-ramp for Monero.

    It reminds me of sanctions in Russia. Sanctions don’t totally restrict access to western goods like Levi’s. They force customers to buy through a middle man who takes a cut. This increases the cost and effort to buy which results in less people buying and using whatever good.









  • Here’s a relevant quote from their privacy policy:

    We provide personal information to our affiliates and other trusted businesses or persons to process it for us, based on our instructions and in compliance with our Privacy Policy and any other appropriate confidentiality and security measures. For example, we use service providers to help operate our data centers, deliver our products and services, improve our internal business processes, and offer additional support to customers and users.

    If you’re OK with Google using your personal information to sell you adds or with then selling your personal information directly, then it’s a fine option.

    Again, i’s a privacy issue. Some people are OK with giving up privacy for convenience, and that’s fine.
