Stay on topic:
- This thread is only for comments discussing the uncertainties, shortcomings, and concerns some may have about Monero.
- NOT the positive aspects of it.
- Discussion can relate to the technology itself or its economics.
- Talk about community and price is not wanted, but some discussion about it maybe allowed if it relates well.
- Be as respectful and nice as possible. This discussion has potential to be more emotionally charged as it may bring up issues that are extremely upsetting: many people are not only financially but emotionally invested in the ideas and tools around Monero.
How it works:
- Post your concerns about Monero in reply to this thread.
- If you can address these concerns, or add further details to them – reply to that comment. This will make it easily sort-able.
- Upvote the comments that are the most valid criticisms of it that have few or no real honest solutions/answers to them.
- The comment that mentions the biggest problems of Monero should have the most karma.

The first principle is that you must not fool yourself — and you are the easiest person to fool.
Is appimage or flatpak actually needed? Devs probably have things higher priority. You can “install” the .deb on most Linux systems simply by extracting the needful and running the binary. You may need to download the java runtime to run.
AppImage is absolutely necessary for users of TailsOS and Qubes-Whonix.
People have has success running on both of those, so I’m really confused why its absolutely necessary. I say again, you literally can unpack the .deb contents to run tbe executable.
Which people? Probably technically-minded, and over-determined people, yes. But do we want only such people have access to Haveno? Absolutely not. People who are only able to burn TailsOS onto a USB should also be able to hop-onto using Haveno and contribute to Monero"s distributed liquidity.
No I literally cannot! (maybe). AppImage model of running a program is exactly the same as running an exe file. Download, allow executable, and run. Most newcomers easily get disheartened when they read that they need to unzip a deb file or something.
haveno is in early stages anyway, but yea the more noob friendly it becomes, the better. Something is “”“hard”“” to install when you do not explain how to install it properly.
Currently there’s a way to install it on every OS, that’s good enough for now. Also keep in mind that there aren’t 20 dedicated developers working on haveno fulltime, you can’t have everything at once with a small team of developers
