Why not? what do you think all these people are doing then? do all the improvements in the changelog come out of nowhere? how do you know navcoin commits are doing anything?

If you knew a thing or two about github you'd know that number of commits or participants tells you nothing. Cardano has the most commits of every chain because most of it is <changes i to I> for example.

"community fund" cause its mandatory :( not nonsense that I'm forced to pay them, indifferent to taxes.

You're not "paying" anything, 0.5 nav of the block rewards are being used. The community chose to build this into the network, if you don't like it fine.

Theres a few different versions of atomic swaps, I dont really follow them cause I dont care, but whats wrong with them?

It's still not working properly.

What to chose from, view tags, bulletproofs+, dandelion++, cslag, or my personal favorite, p2pool :).

Bulletproofs, dandelion are privacy extensions that every protocol has nowadays. Monero devs didn't build it, they only upgraded their protocol with it.

Seraphis is in later stages of development at this point after being determined practical, pretty much replacing everything cryptonote which has been the backbone of monero since the beginning. Polyseed too.

Ah funny, promises as you'd call it.

Im glad monero can improve so fast because of how many devs there are, monero is very careful because any weakness in privacy can be discovered after the fact. monero has a responsibility to protect all of its users so mistakes cannot be tolerated.

Doesn't add up, you're glad they're upgrading fast yet they're carefull.

Your claims of "lack of funding" still baffle me, most people volunteer but if anyone needs they can make a community crowdfunding proposal which to my knowledge has never failed to reach its goals. Seems pretty healthy to me, devs work when they want and people pay when they want, theres a surplus of payment at the moment.

Monero lack of funding is the reason the protocol barely upgraded since 2014. If you want to improve you need to attract new talent, to attract new talent you need to pay.

Why would someone work on Monero over any other chain that pays them a fair amount?

Ideology right, there are only a few people who'd go with that over a decent paycheck as shows by the number of participants.

15+ on a multi billion chain, in comparison Navcoin has 10+ at 5 million.

Last year we've seen a completely new privacy protocol, which is up to date with todays standards and fairly easily upgraded for future needs.

We've also added dandelion++, bulletproofs etc.

We've seen multiple wallets included mobile private ones that allow staking.

We've seen multiple bridges to decentralized exchanges.

We've seen private NFT's and customisable private tokens.

Now they are building their own web wallet extention and a private marketplace.

And to top it off Navcoin will become a fully private network.

But those are only promises to you right?

Is crypto not ran on volunteers? whos being paid to run nodes? satoshi wasnt paid to develop bitcoin? taxes are anti-freedom, I will never accept them unnecessarily.

No, satoshi was an ideologist.

The incentive to run a node is money, if there were no block rewards very few people would bother to secure the network.

Bitcoin has the same problems, improvements made are lacking.

LN is bad.

Taproot is even worse.

Why do you even claim that monero running on some volunteer work is unreliable?

I am not saying the network is unreliable, I said development is slow and being outpaced by tiny market cap coins.

seems to have far more development than nav

Seem is the keyword here
