You didn't even mention emiliomann or longandshort or pookie or Omaha? You didn't mention the blockchain fud. You didn't mention the source citations. Did you post-mortem any of this or just jump in at the part where bitcoin devs commented on it?
I'm only going to say this once, this is nothing against you personally though.
If you want an article talking about FUD, there are multiple of them out there already.
We report the issue itself, not who called whose momma fat or said something about his/her sister.
The facts are : Chandran signatures in their original form won't work, this was verified by BTC devs, Hondo admitted he was a bit misinformed, we quoted parts of his statement.
That's all there is to this story, the rest is just useless noise.
You are right. It's a good article, about technical arguments in the cryptoworld.
What erok meant is that "The reason behind this “distress” was not quite the chandran signatures.
Actually it was the fact that a guy nicknamed ShortandLong, came to our community and bombarded everybody for days with the argument that the project is doomed to fail, and we all should dump the coin and run away. Another few from Shadow also joined and started trolling
That's more like it. It could have been chandran signatures or anything else.
Now, and tell me if i'm wrong, I think that any dev has the choice to claim and try whatever he wants. Until he fails and he admits that, there is no reason to bombard a non tech community with arguments against its dev and his capabilities.
If there anybody should attack something, then they should attack dev's finite product and the dev himself not the community.
The attacks were against a plan to develop something and against a totally non tech community.
So the chandran signatures opened the way for others to attack the community.
Anyone who had something to talk about chandran signatures could have PM the dev and discuss.
Also without consulting the dev, that guy went to Andytoshi who had no idea for what he's answers are going to be used, and after he got what he wanted he came back to our community and spammed the forum for few days with the screenshot of the conversation, until most dumped their investment.
So this is what actually erok said.
So you tell me. How on the earth could and can the community of Stealth answer questions about tech things like chandran signatures, or anything else like it? And why anyone should come and ask us or debate with us the in-depth technology of the coin, when only the dev can answer that ?
If I want I can challenge any dev's project, at any time, but that it wont's degenerate into a war between communities, because I'm not going to post my arguments against a coin for hew hundred times, day and night on somebody's coin community.
End of story!
Nonetheless its a good article!
