Everything appears to be progressing just fine. Dev team is holding a conference and keeping us up to date. It is clear from their posts that they wish to release a well tested and functional product instead of rushing it out the door.
For anyone not in the know there are some people actively working to spread FUD and undermine this project. One such troll bought bitcoinprivate.org and bitcoinprivate.com domains, which they pointed to a Github repo with ZERO work done on it lol and a message stating that it is the real and only bitcoin private. Basically some sour grapes asshole that couldn't sell their domains to the zclassic / bitcoin private team for large sum and is now using them to attack the brand and effort by leveraging on these domains. Spread the word that the only domain for bitcoin private is btcprivate.org, as is returned by google as the first result when searching for 'bitcoin private' ! Help stop people from getting confused by this malicious effort, most likely under many different usernames on here as well. I am curious to know just what price domain squatter was asking for these domains for the team to reject the offer ?
Someone has also purchased bitcoinprivate.io and made it point a twitter post by Snowden praising zcash. I am not sure if it's the same person that bought the other two aforementioned domains or someone with a stake in zcash.
Make no mistake, bitcoin private will be big, zclassic sales have raised tens of millions of dollars by now and zclassic is the only team with the money, expertise, legitimacy and recognition that is associated with bitcoin private. Once the fork date is announced zclassic will quickly jump into the $200+ zone again and potentially much higher, bitcoin private will be huge.
Very bad people aren't they? They have registered all possible domains bitcoinprivate.io, .org, .this .that.
Or, are they clever(er)?
Who wouldn't reserver the domains first and other important checklist items ticked before deciding on the coin name? Everyone would.
Erp....no no. Zclassic team wouldn't. Because they are special. They are the fork specialist. They've made money from Zclassic, now is the time to make another coin and hmm.... make more money.
But what about the webdomains?? hmm. it was John's responsibility, no,no, it was Jenny's. Did they not do it? Who did it then?
Oops! Someone else did? Well, looks like it.
So?
It's easy! Blame everyone else but yourself! Kiching! Sorted!
Come on guys, you can do better than that?
