First you say the advantages of Bitcoin are because it's so simple to understand the math for users...
Now you're wanting me to go in circles with you explaining the intricacies of ed22519 VS secp256k1 as if most users would understand the cryptography underlying Bitcoin and not just trust the few people who understand it to tell them it's ok.
LOL
Choose an argument bro
I was talking about general protocols when referring to 70s-90s not specific curves or hash functions.
It's fair and factually true to say that Moneros chosen curve and hash function is newer and not as battle-tested.
They both have their pros and cons. i.e. SHA-2 security is less "future proof" and more likely to be compromised before SHA-3, less versatile, less efficient, etc
Red flags like Bitcoins chosen curve and hash function having heavy involvement from the NSA? 🚩🚩🚩
But that would be stupid of me to say that automatically means anything by itself. The same way the age of a curve or hash function doesn't automatically mean anything by itself.
What is your response to the node runner issues I brought up? Being able to do something, but never doing it, is functionally the same as not being able to do it.
Payjoin is obfuscation. Obfuscation is weaker privacy than encryption. You seem too intelligent to accidentally leave that out.
I never contested that Bitcoin isn't ticking along. Monero is ticking along too. Why is that relevant?
RandomX has different advantages over ASICs and vice versa. Accessibility, ubiquity, plausible deniability (i.e. energy draw, noise, heat, everyone knows what you're doing/going to do with that ASIC miner you bought, etc)
PS: True, fair enough 👍
Again, Bitcoins advantages DO NOT extend into white markets. If you're going to ask permission to transact and follow the rules (thats what i means to operate on white markets) you might as well use fiat for that. Bitcoin is just a slower, less accepted, expensive (in tx fees and tax liabilities), less private version of fiat in that scenario. Worse in every way.
Normies will always outnumber ideological anything by definition...
