The well-known privacy coin Monero is notorious for being a unique cryptocurrency in a space filled with copycats and lookalikes. When Fluffypony, otherwise known as Riccardo Spagni stepped down from lead maintainer position of the crypto project, the community began a debate between members.
Spagni’s position at the project has now changed to Snipa, adding that Spagni would “continue to remain active in the community as a maintainer,” according to an official announcement.
Spagni further went onto talk about his reasoning for stepping down in his position. The maintainer stepping down from such a position wasn’t just all of a sudden though. In fact, he has been thinking about it and talking about the matter for around two years.
“I’ve been going through this process of relinquishing things, it’s not so much like relinquishing that entirely so if I had access to something, I’ve now added someone else to that thing you know whether it’s the domains or cloud play or whatever, there were people who could gain access to it.”
Fluffypony further went onto talk about where Monero was in terms of its status and whether it was ready for ‘primetime’. He then further added that there was a lot more work that needed to be done in regards to the UX.
“The cryptocurrency universe is not ready for primetime but I think that we’re getting close and I think if you look at like the Monero UX talk […] the work that’s being done on like Lightning wallets, we’re definitely getting better and better each time and with each iteration, with each passing year.”
It will be interesting to see how this situation plays out. For more news on this and other crypto updates, keep it with CryptoDaily!
