A) XMR Tx set to low priority will usually ship in next block (within 2 mins) with 5 ring size at fee of 30cent. Not sure what you were doing.

B) ZKSnarks will never deprecate XMR, they bring the caveats of trusted being required, inability to audit coin supply and inherently DO NOT provide fungibility.

It’s no wonder xmr price is in the doldrums. Even the smart guys on HN are misinformed about it.

Fwiw, ring signatures are also getting implemented on Ethereum. (But I do think Monero makes a good case for their "mandatory privacy" stance.)

Yup. Eth is good, ring on eth will not provide transactional privacy though.
