Interesting observation that I hadn't seen before. It does indeed line up with the price chart reasonably well.

Unfortunately, he timed his post right on schedule with the bi-weekly FUD/attacks XMR has been receiving. This will cool down and in two more weeks there will yet again be more bad news for monero. I'm not particularly familiar with BCX but his timing couldn't be more precise.

Because I don't particularly pay attention to where people live nor their day jobs (you know we all have day jobs of sorts right?), and also because, as I said, the plan was a bit on-again off-again for a while, and at this very moment (aside from what has been said on this thread) I really have no idea what he is doing (nor do I particularly care, other than being friendly with David and generally supporting his decisions about how to live his own life).

David is a very intelligent and independent-minded person, and I have no doubt he can keep his living arrangements and day job (if he is indeed working for Risto, which I don't know) separate from his role on the Monero team. And even if he can't 100% do that, he's only 1/7 of the team, so any (entirely hypothetical) undue influence is extremely muted.

And on top of that, I don't really think Risto is a bad guy anyway. He simply seems to support the coin. I guess maybe its hard for you to believe that the coin has sincere supporters, but it does. He appears to be one of them.

There is nothing here, it is simply more FUD and smear tactics.

Where did I lose you?  Someone close to the monero inner circle has close ties to someone that tries hard to control and manipulate the monero market.  This gives him inside access to monero.  It would be a little different if he didn't have so much control over it.  You think this is a good thing?  Any other P.O.S. altcoin would be burned at the stake for supporting such things.  


What does a vote in a meaningless troll poll have to do with anything?  I'm not the only one.  The majority of others have voted the same way.


If its no secret, why does smooth act like he doesn't know what's going on?

Congratz!! on being the most annoying coin community. ahhaha

If BCX does have the "coin-killer" exploit he claims, and assuming his goal is to protect the users (the point of the clean out the shitcoins thread he is involved with), then he would not reveal this to the developers because they would then have an advantage over the users of Monero (and other CN coins such as BBR) in dumping the coin first. Thus I believe he has decided the fairest option at his disposal is to warn everyone of what will eventually come (someone will find and exploit it because of the anger that feels Monero hijacked the intent of Cryptonote to be a standard amongst many competing coins{*}) and let the users make their own decisions.

The clearest indication or hint of BCX's intent is in the following quote:


Clearly BCX is seeing an unfortunate confluence that has trapped many innocent parties. And he is trying to be as fair as he can in terms of how this will all unwind.

I am trying to figure out the exploit, if I can quickly. I don't have much time to devote to this, so I may have to abandon my attempt.

I don't want to cause a stampede run on the price of CN coins. I don't have any knowledge that the exploit exists, other than BCX's allegation. I know what I would do if I owned any CN coins at this time, which would be to make sure my exposed risk was a small % of my net worth at least until more clarity is obtained. BCX has a strong reputation and seems to have upstanding motives. He wants to see real innovation in crypto-currency. He has no strong aversion against CN, but apparently thinks it is sufficiently flawed thus isn't investing.

Given the scams alleged against the original Bytecoin developers, perhaps they were aware of the exploit all along and was planted as a Trojan horse. Of course that is wild speculation on the order of tooth fairies except we have BCX's reputation at stake on this allegation.

You would have to ask him. Perhaps he is a bit overenthusiastic, or perhaps just enthusiastic because he strongly supports and believes in the project (is that a bad thing?), and maybe that comes across as something other than what it is. It certainly does rub some people the wrong way, but that's life on the Internet. Get used to it.


I 100% deny it. Anyone here is free to contact the team through posting, PM, and IRC (#monero and #monero-dev channels, as appropriate). We answer promptly and candidly to anyone. I have a hard time understanding how the team could possible be any more accessible. Someone from the team (often most of us) is available to anyone virtually 24 hours every single day.

I don't know what "personal ties" refers to exactly, but he certainly is friendly with several of the developers and I think David was going to be staying at his castle for a while. I'm not sure if that is still the plan, but regardless it has nothing to do with Risto's relationship to the project or (non) position in it.

But the part about "insider information" and "might as well be considered part of the team" is complete bullshit.
