Right off the bat, slapping "Not a store of value" into the genesis block is a massive red flag that exposes a fundamental misunderstanding of money. You simply can't decouple a medium of exchange from a store of value -if a token fails to preserve purchasing power across time, nobody in their right mind wants to hold it or price goods in it. To make matters worse, DOM hard-caps its supply around 33 million coins with an aggressive decay schedule and zero tail emission, as you mentioned. Once those block rewards fade away, the network's security budget gets dumped entirely onto transaction fees (rookie mistakes just like Bitcoin). My homeboi Monero’s perpetual tail emission exists for a reason: it guarantees a permanent baseline incentive for CPU miners to secure the chain forever without forcing fee spikes or opening the door to 51% reorgs.
Then you run into the inherent flaws of Mimblewimble itself. Sure, the "cut-through" feature keeps the blockchain size light, but it completely flops on deep privacy compared to Monero's FCMP++ architecture. Without decoy inputs or full-chain anonymity sets, any well-funded adversary running sniffer nodes at the P2P layer can trace transaction graphs and deanonymize users. On top of that, Mimblewimble requires interactive transaction building between sender and receiver. That back-and-forth interaction kills asynchronous, offline payments, turning basic e-commerce or automated Agorist trade into a friction-filled nightmare. On the other hand, Monero’s non-interactive stealth addresses let you send funds to a static address anytime, anywhere, without needing the receiver to be online or pinging a relay server.
Ultimately, DOM feels like a clean Rust engineering flex that completely misses the point of what makes private, sound money work in the real world. The repo is packed with "fail-closed" safety gates, Kani verification, and Noise handshakes, but all that polished code is built on top of weak privacy primitives and broken economic assumptions. You end up with a network that’s tedious to transact on, economically vulnerable in the long run, and incapable of providing bulletproof anonymity. It’s a neat software project, but as a tool for financial sovereignty, it doesn't hold a candle to Monero.
