The good intentions of the dev? the intentions were probably not good at this point. If they were, they would have hired a professional. instead they created hype they couldn't live up to and probably profited nicely in doing so.

I was alluding to the fact that given the salubrious effect of many eyes/brains on FOSS, we may assume a dev has good intentions regardless of their actual motivation.

It works in reverse too; if a dev refuses to release the code, we may (IE must) assume he has bad intentions.

WOW -11 trade trust what did you do? Cheesy

I refused to bow down to the posters who control the default trust. and use their position to create arbitrary pseudo rules. they spent the last two days trying to convince me i was wrong and was trying to "buy trust". you should see the threads, i totally own them time and time again intellectually, the whole time pointing out the fact that they are behaving like holier than thou faggots. it was hilarious.

this is why although i have *some coding skill i never made a coin.
and why i encouraged people to try and avoid anon devs who are often kids buying pre-made coins etc.
or younger people who are dumb and shouldn't be making coins because they are over their head skill wise.

this shows you all why picking what coin to invest in is important.

I"M NOT MONEROMAN88 ... moneroman88 is that NXT thief who killed somebody and is trying to find jl777's identity

I don't like nxt or jl777 or the supernet or theifs or people who kill people.

Is it true?

centralized masternode network

Yes, ~1000 masternodes is very centralized. I believe the target is 3000-4000 nodes eventually. Do you know what centralized means?

Master nodes are not scalable. In a real P2P network (not centralized), you can add peers without limit. The more peers, the better.

A master node needs 1000 DRK to be eligible and as DRK are limited, the number of master nodes is limite as well.

And as master nodes implements major functionality for DRK coin, the whole DRK architecture limits the scalability of the coin.

THAT'S WHY DRK WILL NEVER BREAK THROUGH. NO ONE WILL EVER BE CONVINCED BY SUCH A FLAWED DESIGN / ARCHITECTURE.

It's dead, man. Dead from the beginning...

You have no idea of the variables in play. You don't have a faintest idea how many transactions 1000 nodes can handle. Or 2000. Or 4000. You're just blowing hot air. Your credibility is zero.

Quote from: Cloakko on October 08, 2014, 01:14:36 PM

It's not like this you'll convince people that DRK is well designed.

It's you who's trying to convince people (and yourself) it can't scale enough to BREAK THROUGH. I'm just saying you have no idea.

Quote from: Cloakko on October 08, 2014, 01:14:36 PM

As soon as you have the concept of master nodes, you are not in a P2P network anymore.

You have a bunch of centralized servers with some nodes connected to it.

Saying that DRK is peer to peer and not centralized is just like saying Google is P2P.

#DRK Fail

By your logic, as soon as you have people running their clients behind firewalls blocking incoming ports, you are not in a P2P network anymore.

#TROLL Fail

This is also why you should be open sourced from the beginning

anonymity should always be trusted to open sourced solutions

This is all true. To be on my Legitimate Altcoin Whitelist, a coin must follow Bitcoin's example and be 100% open source. Not some half-assed delayed version.

All the nooblings losing their shitcoins to Madoff Node exploits are being taught a valuable (and therefore expensive) lesson: DON'T TRUST CLOSED SOURCE!

The good intentions of the devs aren't the point and don't matter; the of point open source is to verify the code's security with as many eyes and brains as possible.

And for those who don't already know, shojayxt is known to troll who got busted using sock puppet accounts in order to lower the price so he could finally get in with his 0.5 BTC roll.

This is his ad I found on craigslist while randomly searching for troll spray:

His posts are fairly basic with not a huge amount of cognitive thought, he's just a bottom feeding kid on his Uncles laptop trolling for steam credit...

How many times have you been told it is being open sourced in the next 2 months?

Darkcoin was closed source for over 8 months? Not one post on their thread about closed source? Yes... you are so unbiased.

dude - xc was closed source for six months ... so by the time it comes out = 8 months. just like big bro darkcoin

and I'm not the individual you claim Roll Eyes

my opinion is dark sucks, xc sucks more.

dude... you obviously missed my point. I am asking why you posted over 70X that XC is blah, blah, blah... when you didn't post one comment on the Darkcoin thread about their project? Where are all the posts about Darkcoin? They are the top Anon coin as far as market cap is concerned, and not one post about their closed source? Lol!

XC sucks? Then explain why you have dedicated 20% of your posts to it?

XC doesnt spam the forum like Monero... your invesntment btw. So why the hate?

Right... you are just concerned for your fellow cryptobros. How original. Appeal to sympathy has to be the most overused fallacy on this forum.

MoneroMan is not BM. His post was meant to deceive you guys into thinking that. MoneroMan is a shill, but he isn't BM's shill.

I think MoneroMan is Come-from-Above

Yes, I posted that to make the NXT retards think I am BM. Of course I am not BM. I've admitted to be Come-from-Above earlier. This entire community is ridiculous.

I noticed you made an effort to change C-f-A's posting statistics after I outed you as C-f-A. Wink

It's too late bruh.

Coinhoarder,

Yes you got me. I was trying to hide it but you were able to successfully connect the dots. robinwilliams, TinEye and a bunch of other sockpuppets are also me C-f-A. I confess.

What is your name in BitShares and which position do you hold? Are you mentioned on the official page?

ps. hats off!

I just love how you always say... "I'm not trying to start any drama here guys, but..."

Now its JL777 fault? Curious... how do really feel? Lmao!

What do we know about "XwzmEE1cJ6HG84CgJvAt7ADmJ"? Very little really, but it's not somebody who is willing to take credit for finding the exploit. Do we assume that finding this exploit is this person's first encounter with the cryptocurrency world?

Would it be reasonable to suggest that most people would be happy to take credit for finding the exploit? Perhaps somebody who might benefit from Darkcoin being damaged would be interested in finding a bug and reporting it anonymously, somebody invested in another anonymous cryptocurrency, for example. We know very well from one of the posters in this thread that it's not difficult to create sock-puppet accounts to support your case.

One thing we do know, is that "XwzmEE1cJ6HG84CgJvAt7ADmJ" does not have a reputation to uphold here on bitcointalk. As a result this person can post things which nobody can confirm or deny. For example:

Quote from: XwzmEE1cJ6HG84CgJvAt7ADmJ on October 07, 2014, 03:49:09 PM

I'm not so good at C++, really.

Throw in a condescending remark about someone who does have a reputation in the crypto community:

Quote from: XwzmEE1cJ6HG84CgJvAt7ADmJ on October 07, 2014, 03:49:09 PM

Btw, you should hire some real penetration tester, not me or what was the name of that guy?

And of course a parting jab, but with a "nice guy" remark for good measure:

Quote from: XwzmEE1cJ6HG84CgJvAt7ADmJ on October 07, 2014, 03:49:09 PM

It seems to be more vulnerabilities in darkcoin. Code looks terrible (nothing personal

)

Based on what we actually know about this character, the thread title "darkcoin exploit found in 2 hours by amateur" is impossible to verify and seems sensationalist.

just realized - the hacker\attacker guy writes like jl777 & he would have the motivation (maybe?) o.O

it was an xc puppet that came in here talking about how dark is bad (which it is) - but XC is like dark's retarted brother that just follows in his footsteps (or tries)

Darkcoin is open source. The only part which wasn't was DarkSend but the source code was released last week: https://darkcointalk.org/threads/open-source-announcement-and-future-plans.2528/
