to be honest, i just wrote monero fixes this to trigger some low iq coiners here. Its my way of pointing out that bitcoin has a huuuuuge problem as we create our own fully transparent database of transactions, ready to be exploited by governments around the world.

The total supply of Monero can be audited like this:

The Monero blockchain is still publicly auditable. While individual transactions are private, the total supply can be verified by auditing the entire blockchain. By analyzing all transactions, it's possible to ensure that no XMR has been created out of thin air or lost due to double spending.

Monero's consensus mechanism, based on proof-of-work, ensures that all transactions are valid and that the total supply adheres to the protocol rules. Miners validate transactions and ensure that no new coins are created beyond the predetermined emission schedule.

Monero has a transparent emission schedule, meaning the rate at which new coins are created is known. By tracking the block rewards over time, it's possible to verify that the emission matches the expected schedule.

But i dont want to get into a Monero vs. Bitcoin discussion, i just wanted to support the argument of the threads autor that we have still a tremendous problem with a completely transparent blockchain and we might dig our own grave currently.
