I was listening to Everlast when I picked a nickname on Polo.  I'm neither black, nor am I Jesus.  It happened to be the song I was listening to at the time.

At any rate, it should be taken seriously.  BCX is needlessly causing harm.  He is able to do so because of the attack on AUR.  With AUR, there was a strong argument that the coin was a scam.  Monero is different.  He's said so himself.  Yet he is causing discord because he is pissed at what a few people in these forums have said about him.  For all he knows, some of them could be provoking him hoping that he will execute an attack, which will send speculators away from XMR and toward their own coin.  At the end of the day, he is harming people who have done nothing to him.  And he is harming a project that could be a pretty good thing.  There is no rational excuse for his behavior that I've seen.  I invite him to prove me wrong.

Exactly.  I mean ALL they did was hire TFM/AM, work with CZ, jl7777, and who knows who all else outside of their team, implement some improvements under duress, and avoid, best they could, poking the bear.

If you're just a lowly non-whale hodler such as myself, you'd have to be pretty impressed with the way the team responded.  I can't speak for professionally knowledgeable folks, but the fact that they reached out and, well, EVOLVED, both the code and the way CN teams applied efforts across coins.  I'd think that would give you some renewed hope.  It's probably the only way crypto CAN truly evolve.  

Hell, I need to get to sleep, and I suspect you are going to do, or not do, whatever it is that you've already chosen.  I don't care if my non-whale stake of XMR gets nuked.  I view it all as speculation, anyway--small portfolio potatoes for me.  My personal stake amounts to about what I'll probably lose betting on football games this weekend. But it seems pretty clear that they did everything possible...more than I would have thought possible, given the difficulty of proving a negative...in a pretty short period of time.  

And, oh by the way, not every XMR holder is a douchebag.  The last couple pages of replies have, I think, been pretty reasonable.  Mostly.

Maybe I'm missing something but I just checked the blockchain and I see 33 blocks in 39 minutes

Well, if you zoom out and look at 1 month you can see the 2 day dip during the "attack" but then it went back to the 1 month downtrend it was on anyway.

It is hard to take that statement seriously coming from someone named "black Jesus."

Sorry if I was wrong, I didn't know it had already been discussed. Carry on...

OK so who are you really then?

You're not the Black Jesus, he lives in South Central. You just never posted on this forum until 5 days ago?

Again I'm being accused of being someone else.  I'm not.  I can't really prove it to you, but I'm sure some people recognize me from the Poloniex trollbox.  I'm not going to address this again, ya'll can believe what you want.  

I have no idea whether BCX can launch any attack on XMR, like the one he is describing, or something else.  I can tell you that his behavior is childish and irrational, at least from what I've seen.  Let's be adults here.  It isn't that hard, I promise.  

That is not the official statement of the dev team. Please reconsider what you are doing, this is not a healthy mindset to have. As humans, we are supposed to build things up, not break them down. It is our duty. Please reconsider.

Have they ever refused your assistance?  I'm serious.  I'd like to know, please show some examples.  

I'm confident that if you had unique knowledge of something that could harm XMR, the devs would invite you to assist them to see if it could be fixed.  

I might be wrong, but if not you'll need to come up with a better excuse.

Or maybe, just maybe, do the right thing.

Unless it's all just BS because you have nothing better to do.  If so, again, I'm sorry.

NewLiberty isn't part of the dev team.

You said you were attacking before that was said so how can something that happens after you say you are doing something be the cause for you doing it?

Hi MoneroMan88 

There are a lot of pages and I haven't kept up. Is it still Batman:Joker as Anonymint:BCX or what?

He thinks he's a character from a comic book, apparently.  It's kind of pathetic, if you think about it.  He'll dodge any rational question.

You said you were attacking before the dev team said that they applied some fixes.

Why are you attacking Monero?

Monero is a decentralized cryptocurrency and thus the devs do not represent the entire currency.

On behalf of them, I would like to pay my respects to you, and plea that you allow them to fix your expoit. Their hubris should not result in the failure of a potentially viable, useful tool for millions of people.

I'm starting to think this has much less to do with Monero itself than it does Cryptonote.

Any chance this is true?

According to whom?  I think they might feel like they've uncovered some potential issues.  You demanded forced evolution.

I don't recall reading anything indicating that the dev team was ready to start licking each others' popsicles and throwing a victory party.  Certainly, that attitude exists, but, shit, trolling is everywhere.  Hard to demand forced evolution of the user/speculator base.

So what was your reason for attacking Monero and refusing to allow devs to fix your exploit?
