This is actually getting tiresome now. The constant accusations that we did nothing for a long time. The constant accusations that the algo was "abused".
Jesus, the entire code had to be written by mainly ONE person to accommodate the new mining algo, it then had to be tested, and even then, we still ran into problems, all in an effort to keep people like you happy. Mercatox having the wallet in maintenance for a month WAS NOT our fault, we assisted them in every way we could to get their node up and running properly.
If it makes you feel any better I had ARO invested, my friends did, a lot of people did, but you seem to be the only one kicking up a huge fuss and relentlessly accusing us of doing nothing.
I do have a lot of respect for your opinions Airline, but honestly, this is becoming childish now.
We knew about the whales, there was one big whale, and if he paid for his services, then how on earth can we be blamed for allowing someone to do that, instead of NOT keeping with decentralisation and banning his ip's or freezing his wallet?
To this day there is NO PROOF that this whale gained his hashing power illegally, and honestly, if he really has "controlled" the value of ARO for so long as you claim, then he really hasn't controlled it that well and his hashing power, whether gained illegally or legally has only served to lose him a SHIT TON of money.
I admire your efforts to expose scam coins in your other posts, but your relentless accusations about us as a team are becoming an obsession. The huge whales have been dealt with in the new mining system. "zean", the community member that has donated funds of his own has been vilified relentlessly, it's become a witch hunt, someone else to blame for your loss of investment.
There is not one single factor you can blame, I was personally involved in the discussions about how to tackle miners who controlled a large proportion of the network, and yes, maybe in your opinion it took longer than you wanted it to, but it took as long as it did and there is NOTHING we can do about that now. We all have real jobs, real shit we have to deal with on a daily basis, as well as keep the community happy, a balancing act that not everyone is going to be happy with.
There is a lot of exciting things planned with ARO, and hopefully this whole fiasco can be put behind us and you will see 1k sats again, hopefully then you will be glad you invested in ARO.
Until then, and until these new features are released, there is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING we can do about past happenings.
With regards to us knowing about the cloud miners, yes we did know about it, but struggled to come up with a solution that was fair and in the best interests of the community. We believe we did come up with that solution, and yes, we will be criticised for the time taken to implement that solution, but it wasn't something that we came to lightly.
Just quoting an earlier statement. The several months of delay to update the limitation wasn't due to lack of personnel to code rather the devs just waited till the price was in the gutter to take action. Regardless of how childish i might sound to you,
i keep using monero as a valid example. If monero dev didn't have the initiative to change the algo before the consumer asic arrived, i could only imagine what the price of monero will currently be. But since they understood that they had to protect their investors, they made an immediate effort to switch the algo. I will keep repeating that if Aro dev had financial investment into the coin and it wasn't all gain for them, they wouldn't have sat around taking as long as they wanted while they watch their finance dwindle to nothing before taking action. No one asked for the miner's ip to be blocked nor his wallet frozen, rather an immediate update to limit his impact on controlling over 50 percent of the hashrate in a supposedly decentralized project would have sufficed
As for my cont posting, a new investor needs to be kept aware that there is a malicious acct with about 2 million coins waiting to dump this project, also they need to be made aware that their is an individual who utilized the algo limitations and owns enough coin to manipulate the price for awhile. They also need to be made aware that this player never had a vested interest in positively impacting the coin's price but has been seriously dumping it since he got into the play.
Thus my bewilderment with you stating that he hasn't controlled his hashing power well cos he has lost a shit ton of money. The guy made it obvious from the beginning that he wasn't interested in positively impacting the price, yet he was given enough time to dump, bank and acquire enough coin to have monopoly on controlling the coin's value for a long time. So i post to make sure a new investors has all the info before making a decision to invest cos left up to most, they just shill without providing the full picture, and anyone that dare speak on it, is labelled a fud.
Like i said in our earlier post, always respected the help you gave on the forum and this is not in any way mean't as an attack on you rather its me providing a counter opinion to the derivative.
