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.
To be fair I don’t think anyone here is the target audience. The target is the 99% of the world who aren’t onboarded to crypto. Fluffy said it best when he described Tari as a “Trojan Horse”. https://youtu.be/FSe8IXJO6nI https://youtu.be/zmeSSnppixY
We need something to get people into the space and we need it to be private by default.
