If Monero solved its biggest problem tomorrow, what would that problem be?

Monero as a tool is already pretty strong and serve its purpose as intended. So I think that left me to choose for Adoption. We need interesting marketing to let people know that Monero is cool and useful to use as a currency. There's not enough youtuber/influencer who do a monero challenge or content compared to bitcoin. Well those influencer choose bitcoin because of the popularity than the feature which create a positive loop.

Bitcoin is popular > influencer try to ride the wave so they can gain new follower and also become popular > Bitcoin become more popular. And the cycle repeat bigger and bigger like an echo chamber, each bounce is only making it stronger

Isn't adoption and merchant acceptance the same here?
I think from a ideological pov, the biggest problem is not the price but adoption.
More people need to use it and accept it.
Crypto wallets like Cake already make using it easy enough.

My biggest gripe with the tech is the concept of waiting 10 blocks to be able to spend your funds again. That is, if you didn't micro-manage your Monero wallet and didn't split your XMR into 0.1 chunks. Not the biggest issue at all but it'd be nice if it can get addressed with proper 0conf or something.

but how would adoption actually reflect the numbers with more miners too?
i guess, sure, could be like "aight, let's embrace malicious botnets and that's what's securing the network"
but then, how would that be any better than for example on other coins... embracing only datacenters or whatever to run a node due to their internet bandwith / storage space or whatever

i mean, if we thinking scaling, then nethash would have to scale too
and if nethash scaling, then monero also needs number go up to happen
because then, electricity expensive too, especially at big scale, the numbers need to make sense, they currently dont

so adoption yea, all for it, imo there still needs to be an incentive for mining, or just embracing centralization by embracing malicious botnets...

Bitcoin is popular > influencer try to ride the wave so they can gain new follower and also become popular > Bitcoin become more popular. And the cycle repeat bigger and bigger like an echo chamber, each bounce is only making it stronger

but most people "investing into that bitcoin thing" are not even running a node
and not even saying mining but literally just the node... they not even doing just that...

Isn't adoption and merchant acceptance the same here?

kinda same yea, merchants doing the proper way running their own node then yea, that's adoption right here
but merchants using like btcpay to convert to usdt or whatever, not even running their node, meh, not really the same here imo

I think from a ideological pov, the biggest problem is not the price but adoption.

we can be antimoonboys but still acknowledge that the price is also directly linked to the security of the network
p2p circular economy adoption is important, but the price is also important
low price = easier to onboard
stable price = easier to use as actual currency
high price = better network security

fuck cakewallet, they lost the plot

My biggest gripe with the tech is the concept of waiting 10 blocks to be able to spend your funds again.

yea, that one is annoying to explain, how to make change and whatnot, and even then, sometimes just forgetting to make change, is not too much of an issue tho
and even haveno that had a proposal to remove the 10 block locks, honestly is still very usable even with it anyways

mining profitability

imo the solution to that would be with adapting the model of "botting the videogames" to have a similar ecosystem on top of monero, no need to do any protocol change or anything to monero, just getting a game thing and the ecosystem would do the thing

• would give financial incentive (which mining currently does not anymore)
• would be more fun and interactive
• would be actual p2p circular economy instead of "trading the coin for an other coin"
• would give an entry point into monero for newcomers to make their first piconeros (making it easier to onboard on haveno too, regarding that first security deposit thing)

fuck cakewallet, they lost the plot

elaborate
also provide amother mobile wallet then

elaborate

elaborated enough, am done with the dramas for now

also provide amother mobile wallet then

termux or the native debian thing from android with CLI

edit:
or to receive payment - just regular paper wallet and then restore it on desktop when you're back home or somethin
to send payment - every single mobile wallet have been shit, if "cakewallet" is the one that's used because that's literally the less shit of all of them, that's not a good excuse enough to use it, cake can just fuck off at this point
shit is shit and that's what the cake team are, shit
scammers, AI shills, sponsoring bullshits (with the funds they stole/scammed from people)
oh well, fuck me... said was done with the dramas...
well, got alot to say about it, rather move on for now tho
