Fluffypony's Tari XTM Airdrop game
Play the Tari Airdrop Game. Tari is the L1 protocol powered by you - proof of work, beautiful apps anyone can use, and an ingenious native app platform to put all of its power in your hands.
Tari XTM is the new PoW asics-resistant Privacy coin by Fluffypony. This is the link for the Airdrop game. Live since May 14, 2024.
Merge-Mining XMR has already been implemented. All you have to do is enter your Monero address with the miner.
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
Personally, when I opened the link yesterday, I wondered if I was looking at a product for 4-year olds: Big round shapes, bright colors, ... and nothing that would give me a clue about what I am actually looking at.
I might simply not be in it, but who's the target audience here?
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.

maximum privacy and some compromises
care to explain?
and I love a good airdrop - just let my enter my phone number and drivers license into X to join, then I can get my gen 0 gems and finally convert them into Yats to cash in my skyhammers
THEN and only then will we achieve mass adoption.
nothing against fluffy
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.
