I would like to add some more context to the article on coinsource. I will not post a link to it as it will get attention and clicks it doesn't deserve. The "journalist" in question goes by the name of Aleppo Allesadero. I've put journalist in inverted commas because no self-respecting journalist would write such blatantly unbalanced trash based on complete conjecture. He even goes as far as to offer advice on how to avoid scams, implying that the Blocknet is one. This struck a chord with me so did some digging. And lo and behold...
As you can see the person behind this article follows TrollsRoyce on Twitter. For those of you unaware TrollsRoyce goes by the name of CoolStoryTeller on this forum. There is countless evidence against him and his buddy pookielax31 spearheading a smear campaign against Blocknet, XC and Dan Metcalf. More info on them here:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/the-full-truth-behind-shadowcashcoin-trolls-and-their-attacks-on-other-coins-818939These guys are known P'n'D'ers. They hope to free up BTC by lobbying for Blocknet refunds with the hope of it coming into SDC. They will then dump.
Oh god this never ends with these guys. The 3 big 80% coin owners-bagholders of ShadowCash (pookie, trollsroyce and longandshort) overrode their dev's decision to break with trolling and cooperate with other coins by forcing him to remove SDC from the Blocknet. To take it even further they have begun subtle fud trolling of the blocknet. This will become more viceral and obvious as time moves on. It will peak with a website yes website they are building purely for the point of discrediting and fudding the blocknet and its founding coins. Who does that? Make a website replete with fake pastebin quotes, gifs, and other smear items, and fud threads? Wouldn't the resources and effort of this be better off to make zk-snarks work and promote SDC?
Seriously these guys must have small penis syndrome. Oh look XST,Fibre, Blocknet has a smaller penis than ours!
Mark my words this shit is real and you can quote this thread when they start their full on trolling of Blocknet and it's coins. Same for when the websit goes live. You heard about it here first. (Notice the date)
I called this ShadowScam trolling and fudding of Dan and the Blocknet weeks ago. What is said about them freeing up btc for "their big news" is very true. They will time their big news with the Ito refund on bittrex or real close to. It's a chess play. Mark my words you saw it from me 1st. They want a piece of that million $.
Before you buy SDC's news and coins on it just ask yourself. Did ryno destroy the key that allows unlimited coin generation and not make any copies? That's a "trust issue" consider all the trolling and attempted destruction of their competitors. Anything for money. Also did they magically cure the bloat that zk-snarks/zerocash has? There is mention of ring sigs and tor in their anon feature. Ring sigs have bloat issues as well. Tor has know NSA back doors in it.
If you sell back your Ito buy doge or some other known non scamCoin. Stay away from Shadow scam coin.
Why would the "journalist" follow this random cryptotrader on twitter? It's not just a coincidence that the he has ties with one of the trolls behind this smear campaign.
