What drew my attension is this statement from Epyx: "This continues to be deleted evey time I post in VidZ thread." I don't know what he implies saying that, but it rather looks he points to asphyxia a or PV dev deleting them. However that is technically imposible, as the account used to open the thread, has not logged in since early february. So only two versions here: either Epyx deleted those messages himself, and now tries to blame others (dirty play), or moderators do that (but in that case it is unclear why they leave all the other accusations from other attackers). Why FUD from Pickachu is not being deleted, but the same stuff from Epyx does? Something is fishy in those Epyx attacks. Would be nice if he comments on at least this my doubts.
Posts throughout the thread are deleted all the time. Who deletes them none of us know. Like you said PV does not show logged in or last active for a long long time. Posts have been deleted and thats all I know.
As for this being 100% of anything, its not. But the keys are the same. So the content and ipfs index is the same. I have simply pointed out that 1 day after my initial post the domain goes down..
Please keep in mind that I only am pointing out that the IPFS keys for the content is exact same for content on both sites. Except purevidz no longer works but novus does. A generic download of the purvidz.net can be downloaded at http://www.trollpay.com/purevidz.net.zip in the home/watch folder is where the movie pages from purevidz.net are. you can open any of them look for IPFS_HASH = and find the exact same movie at novus and you will see they use the exact same keys.
Again this just says there using same IPFS. you all decide whatever else it means.
I sent it to 1 person that I seen was active. As I did not want to become involved but give enough so that people could research what I had provided and come to there own conclusion. People run around speculating when gathering good/bad evidence is just as easy. I only found this out because I had indexed the entire purevidz movie collection and seen the exact same keys while comparing vidz scub to novus.
Until this dev explains how he is using the same index as a network he no longer has any connection or access to I just say be cautious. If dev answers with legit reasoning IPFS is the way to go for fast indexing and instant streaming of 0 day movies. A little scarey to do when you still have a small ipfs network (unless your indexing right on the public) But still if dev can give legit reasoning thats the only issue I see with any of it.
