This comment is very rude and lacks the necessary information to change someone’s thoughts about Monero. But this does not warrant calling this person a “glowie”. He is a known developer in the crypto (cryptography and cryptocurrency) community and has participated for many, many years. We do not know his circumstances for this kind of behavior, but the responses to his behavior need to be addressed. Calling someone a “glowie” seemingly out of thin air does nothing but discredit the Monero community and give us the image of paranoid fools who will seemingly lunge at any privacy software to appease our constant paranoia, as the term itself was used as commonly as the very paranoid schizophrenic man who coined the term.

    Anyone trying to smear Monero with only used for “crime” is a total moron or a fed and deserves to be smacked down immediately, regardless of their “dev work”.

    This guy was most likely hired by feds to infiltrate, gain some “dev cred” by forking code that goes nowhere, then start smearing.
