It’s kind of funny. When it launched, I bought a ton of Grin for $3.30… and held it till I lost it on KuCoin. But the point being, the Grin devs thought they were smarter than everyone else — even as the price plummeted to below $0.02 per coin. A total failure in commercial terms.
A combination of kneeling down to Bitmain + an uncapped emission is a recipe for failure, it seems. But that’s just my look on Grin. Haha.
Anyways, I don’t see it being much better for Tari. This seems like the devs were like “oh shit” and didn’t really know what to do. The correct answer would have been RandomX + ProgPoW 50/50 split. But that’s just my dream, I guess.
MoneroOcean is stacking it, as there is no exchange. As we know, they sell everything and pay in XMR, so if mining there, you should see some bigger XMR payouts when the exchange goes live for Tari. But it sounds like the Tari goes to each user as they mine — just can’t see it — then dumped and given the value in XMR that you mined when live on exchanges.
Personally, I think Tari (XTR) is going to be one of the biggest scams and rugpulls of 2025 with its 30% premine. Everything it has is a copy of Monero and another coin. MinotaurX >> Minotari! They will disappear after dumping their bags and leave with a few million USDT.
