If others like yourself want to ignore those flaws , it is your choice.
Please let me also refer to some of your points from the other thread as it seems you pointed out all of these flaws.
First of all it’s a bunch of unsubstantiated claims. Please at least show some proof that what you’re saying is indeed correct, because it feels like you say these are facts.
There are some zealots that defend the coin without thinking even when thinking about it would help make things better.
This is not true. We are aware of security risks and have plans of further improvements.
I could refer to many instances where we acknowledged input from community
(

but won’t do it as I fear it might be just a waste of time.
You also seem to have ignored my arguments when I presented them before (like
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.10599523).
Which makes me believe you are very devoted to your opinions.
The cloudmining that is supposed to skyrocket the price will fail, since all mining has been losing money.
The Reactor is a weak attempt at securing the coin , just places a lot in 1 spot to be stolen.
No, not true. Cloudmining was never meant to skyrocket the price! From day one it was about going with our ethos of providing a stable value coin. It is the first pillar of stability mechanism. Reactor can be seen as an extension of that.
Please check this chart (

Your fears are way overblown, you can’t even compare it to hacking the exchange as the Reactor is just some node somewhere you have no IP to.
None of these things are impossible to do, but paranoia often does more harm than good. In every murder case there is a motive for committing the crime .. I just can’t see how 70k is good enough incentive to make the effort. Someone with these skills would much better rob some bitcoin store.
Also opens DMD to a DDOS on the Reactor , hit the reactor with a DDOS attack , and your network will be stunned and if a few other things are done , a fork could be triggered so the reactor is on 1 fork and the rest of you on another.
As said earlier, what do you want to DDOS if you don’t know the IP of your target?
Even if the Reactor was taken down by some kick ass Anonymous ops, the network would not be ‘stunned’, because the Reactor is just an ordinary wallet not connected in any special way with the rest. If they transferred funds elsewhere they would have to gather coin age from the beginning which would give us time to implement contingency measures.
