this was a very interesting read, morals aside, if the coin be attacked so easy this is a valuable lesson to all parties invested in something so weak.

Almost all coins can be attacked easily. That's why you should never invest money in a small altcoin with money you can't afford to lose. I learned that lesson ( PXC ) the hard way hahaha.

Still, "teaching them a lesson" is a very poor reason to hurt people financially, on purpose.

Now we are seeing power of merged mining.. as they are instantly more valuable as more shitcoins come.....

BCX, your arrogance never fails to boggle my mind.

Have you considered the fact that your actions hurt people ? And I don't mean the "devs" of gamecoin. I mean people who bought GME because they thought it's a good investment. You destroy their value.

And don't give me the "I didn't do anything bad, I just mined with my 500 mhash farm" because you purposefully destroyed the coin.

If you have a moral compass, it's seriously out of whack. I'm glad I'm not you.


jesus dude. where are you living? its how capitalism works. If their investment can be manipulated so easy then it is a fail investment...thats all that BCX clearly shows...


morality on capitalim. like seriously now....



I think you can have morals and make money in crypto at the same time.
With all the experience over the months and the people I know, I could launch a nicely marketed niche coin in a few days and make a crapload of money while doing it. Why don't I ? Because it would basically mean I steal money from gullible people who think it's a great investment.

Just because people don't do their due diligence and are, well, generally ignorant fools, doesn't mean it's right to destroy their property or steal from them.

" That's how trading currency is ! " " We're all adults here " " That's capitalism ! " ---- all excuse to let greed or pride guide your decision making. If you have balls and can look at yourself honestly, it's pretty clear.

let's make a deal.

Sorry, but the people who bought GME without realizing there was a vulnerability in the blockchain didn't do their homework.  That's their own fault.  

People should take the time to do proper research in coins before putting real money into them.

if 500mhash can push this coin off the cliff, then it was overvalued to begin with.  Its poor network hashrate makes gamecoin an insecure investment.

So the lesson is not to spam up the forum?

Although I don't support bullying (especially in this case since I own GME myself), I see ~BCX~'s point.  Commit to a forum for a while and you start hating threads and posters that create spam/contribute nothing.

I will simply say "~BCX~" I like this coin and you are messing with the wrong person!!!


Chill out,

I just thumped it for about 30 minutes as a demonstration and nothing more.

I don't want to kill GME, why do you think I gave you a 24 hour notice and enough time to set some check points.

I have bigger and better things to do but don't push your luck.

Its a good test for the new checkpointing stuff from PPC the IsSyncCheckpointEnforced() stuff that was new to help with this kind of situation.

Seeing as I'm currently getting a fleet of PMs regarding this I have no interest in getting into the middle of this dispute. I didn't create GameCoin, I merely revived what was a dead coin and there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the code. Sure it could be checkpointed to invalidate the fork but it will accomplish nothing whilst there is someone determined to keep attacking the coin.

If you guys can't be bothered combating it by actually mining the coin and choose to antagonize someone with a proven track record of attacking coins (including GME) in the past then just let it die.

Whats the big deal. Let him try to fork it. If hes successful than he has done you a service because now you know that your software is flawed and thats the first step towards fixing it. Its called stress testing. Many systems PAY for stress testing. If he tries and fails then no harm done.
