They have ignored this request for almost 10 years. https://protonmail.uservoice.com/forums/935538-accounts-payments/suggestions/33188971-accept-monero-for-payment

Like 3 or 4 years ago, Seth said they might soon accept Monero, but they didn't either. Proton is not too bad, to be sure, but it's been really questionable in various ways too... Better late than never, though.

they're Bitcoin maximalist

There would be no problem with this if BTC actually worked.

Bitcoin Cash is the real Bitcoin. Instant payments and good privacy when you use CashFusion, plus world level scalability.

In what ways is it better than Monero?

[-] CashDragon@realbitcoin.cash 0 points 4 weeks ago

The fundamental issue with Monero is its ability to scale. Tests have shown it can only do about 500k TX per day before serious node issues begin making the network unstable. Bitcoin Cash has been tested up to 10 million TX per day.

BCH is the complete package

It has a presence on all exchanges making it universally available

It has smart contracts, tokens, and DeFi. For example MUSD a decentralized stable coin. All on-chain and non-custodial https://www.moria.money/

BCH has instant transactions, there is no RBF (replace by fee like in BTC) or coin lock time so when you get a TX it is instantly spendable and non-reversible. This makes for a great DEX experience - https://app.cauldron.quest/tokens

It has good privacy via CashFusion, a untraceable trust-less coinjoin implementation - https://odysee.com/@backyarddirectors:c/cashfusion-true-privacy-on-bitcoin-cash:c

New developments will allow even better privacy than Monero in the form of private tokens - https://odysee.com/@CashDragon:6/bch-privacy-future:0

All this while maintaining full audibility, you do not have to worry about secret inflation bugs, plus the Bitcoin name.

Take a look at all the upgrades that have happened on BCH, cutting edge - https://minisatoshi.cash/upgrade-history

Cashfusion isn't same level with Monero

you have to coinjoin a few times and the actual spending. Which causes you to do few TX instead of one.

which takes more time than Monero.
more bandwidth (+storage if unprunned node)

however its still true BCH has better scalability than XMR. Especially better pruning options.

Yeah, I saw that elsewhere. I have a hard time believing this petition is legit.

I do wish they would accept Monero, but the longer they don't, the less I trust them.

@terrorofdemons @meldrik Online petitions are the modern version of chain letters.
