Ok. This stuff has gone far enough and you are hurting people and companies I care about.
I do promotional/marketing work for both Coinabul and Crypto X Change. In a previous life I was noagendamarket on these forums but I had my info doxed by SA forums and had the account shut down. I didnt expect my own community to do the same and publish my personal details for all the world to see.
Ive been a bitcoin evangelist for the past two years which is why these two companies contacted me to work with them on spreading the word about their services. I have a lot of respect for both the guys running these sites which is why I agreed to help. At this point it has been
unpaid voluntary work advising them on bitcoin related matters and setting up social media accounts etc. Ken from cryptoxchange is an Aussie just like me and he lives not far from my sister in new south wales. He is a successful businessman outside of bitcoin and so is Jay from Coinabul. It saddens me that people make these threads without thinking about the consequences. We are real people with families,jobs and care about bitcoin just as much as anyone else here.
The reason Jay doesnt want to publish his personal info is because it is a physical gold site there are safety concerns related to blackmail and/or people turning up in person etc. Im sure anyone can see that is a prudent thing ? Its also the reason I didnt want my info public and any of you need to ask yourselves the same questions.
Im trying to help these companies become successful and maybe one day I can earn an income doing what I love which is promoting bitcoin and the people/companies in bitcoin I respect. Ive been asked previously to become the community manager for the bitcoin project but I declined for several reasons. I am still on irc and running the bitcoinmedia twitter account. Occasionally I post stories about both Coinabul and CryptoXchange when I think they merit it.
I have my own company called noagendamarket in Australia I setup awhile ago
http://www.search.asic.gov.au/cgi-bin/gns030c?acn=147_919_239&juris=9&hdtext=ACN&srchsrc=1I also own bitcoin.me and bitcoin.com.au if you care to look at the whois. I also am a founding shareholder in GLBSE and nefario and ColdHardMetal can vouch for me.
Finally if the community has any concerns please contact MrTiggr or SomeoneWeird of the bitcoin police. They will be getting any documents the community needs to feel safer dealing with Coinabul and CryptoXchange. They will also vouch for all 3 of us if you feel the need to ask.
As far as comparing these companies to mybitcoin that is extremely unfair. They are both publically listed companies in Australia and the US. They are following all laws and regulations pertaining to owning and operating their respective companies. They also post on the forums and are active in irc. We all have bitcoin-otc ratings. The companies themselves will be getting those. They are going to be pentested by bitcoin community members that everyone knows. At this point I dont know what else to say other than please stop posting these rumours and speculation.
As for bitcoinmedia.com I handed the domain over to bitcoinconsultancy awhile ago. It is a community site and anyone with any interesting bitcoin news can post there. Im now going to take steps so that it is split into a separate advertising/review site and a purely news site.
The only thing Ive done related to bitcoin which I am sorry for is to send a message to bruce wagner on twitter telling him about bitcoin and then donating a few coins to him when he published an address, thus starting in motion the whole bitcoion show debacle and leading to people assuming bitcoinmedia was bruce eventually. How was I to know the shitstorm that would happen just because I donated 50btc once to some random guy on twitter? What do they say about the butterfly effect ?
