Why does everyone think that XMR is immune to inflation bugs? This has been a huge concern in the community for years and years It seems a whole new wave of people got sold on privacy coins on completely false pretenses Bulletproofs is a type of ZK proof RingCT uses ZK proofs Seraphis will use ZK proofs Monero relies on Pedersen Commitments These can of course have the same type of inflation bugs The 2017 CryptoNote Key Image Bug allowed infinite minting. The core team scanned Monero's entire history and verified it was never exploited on XMR, but the uncertainty was there until they did (like Mossad is planning to on Zcash) So did the 2014 Merkle Tree Exploit, however XMR did not have RingCT back then so amounts were verifiable No software is bug free unless formally verified Monero community should learn from this or it might happen on our chain too
