I didn’t even know this Reproductive Health bill and DAP scandal because I don’t watch tv...i read more threads in bitcointalk than news lol, thank you for the information.

The only thing i know about PhilHealth is the discount it can offer in hospital bills.

My opinion is that rich nations is better in law implementation because they can finance it, while our poor nation is also poor in implementing laws, that’s why it is crazy out there and almost free.

For Reproductive Health bill..nah I think life goes on around here. .it is a vague law for most people here and won’t care. I live in the province it is true that buying birth control pills for a woman is a shameful act

DAP, banking secrecy law…banks?again nah…..most people here have no money in banks, they are poor that’s why many people here send money through local remittances  (aside from international) instead of bank to bank transfer.. .crypto currency would be a killer to many rip off remittance businesses around here.

Filipinos don't usually accede sovereignty..they have to conquer us before they can get it like Spain and US. btw the crazy muslims in the south (mindanao) was not conquered by the Spanish and Americans.

Spanish occupation is 300 years btw.


I'll be more than happy to dump some shit coins on their ill gotten wealth  

I'm in the Philippines too... nothing much to add to what TheFascistMind has said, but currently they aren't paying much attention to bitcoin or cryptocurrencies. That may change when one or any of the politicians suddenly discover they can hide their wealth there, and be discovered trying to do so.

What does your friend tells about Greece? Any links?

Well we have PhilHealth now and your countrymen rejoice but it is same shit they did to us in the west that has destroyed us. Full implementation the Reproductive Health bill coming in November so they can turn your women into men-haters by screwing up their hormones with free handouts of birth control pills (filipinas in the provinces are too ashamed to go into the pharmacy to buy them).

Then you have the DAP scandal which is a ruse to get you naive pinoys to support abolishing your bank secrecy law so the powers-that-be can turn your country into another tax-debt-slavery system like we have in the west.

Then you have China+USA playing bad guy + good guy roles to force you to accede your sovereignty to the U.N..

Don't be surprised. You will soon join us in the globalization hell slavery. But I guess you guys are accustomed to it after 400 years of Spanish occupation.

Nation-building and "better the opportunities for our people" are code words for "bend over and prepare to take it deep".

I am just praying you guys continue to ignore the laws. Please do continue to make a U-turn from the right-most lane of the highway (right-hand traffic). Please continue to use the pedestrian flyovers for the homeless shelters and jaywalk with your face pointed away from oncoming traffic. Etc.    

If we give everyone a 30 year mortgage, financial capacity demand for homes is pulled forward by 30 years. If we make everyone pay cash instead, houses would be incredibly less expensive. In short, the 30 mortgage becomes an inflation tax (and we charge you capital gains and property taxes on it). Insurance is no longer insurance, but rather another collective means to tax the population. Now it has become mandatory and it even they tax the insurance benefit.

The powers-that-be pocket all the profits. Innovation is stifled by the decreased degrees-of-freedom. Etc...

lol i'm surprised.. in the whole wide world my humble little country is involved in this monero fiasco

edit: with a 100 btc bounty, a name and address I could pay bcx a visit and drown him with popcorns  lol

i wasn't saying you were intentionally being used by him or that you are a sockpuppet or that you guys r in collusion.  just that he used your insight or fearmongering or whatever you want to call it to scare people and bolster the perception that he had some secret exploit & imo he never did

u r right.  coin is stronger - everybody wins (except the sleepy stressed devs probably)

robinwilliams, I guarantee you there is no connection between BCX and myself, even though he claims he was from the Philippines where I am currently living. I was worried at the start I would get dragged into some conspiracy theory.

That is why I am perplexed as to how he knew about what I found (after BCX incited me to dig). And no he didn't mention many vulnerabilities. He mentioned this specific one in conjunction with the TW attack which is necessary to rewind the blockchain to complete it.

He couldn't have guessed that. He had expert advice or insight himself.

And notice he never said the attack was taking place. He said TW attacks take days to develop, but he never said it was ongoing. Check his words carefully.

And he said from the beginning that forced evolution was the objective.

He achieved his objective, he knew the (potential) vulnerability, and he got paid with cheap coins and got revenge on Moneroman88. Perhaps he is sitting smug waiting for you all to figure it out.

But I think Moneroman88 was a sock puppet of BCX.

What leads you to believe the industry is collapsing?

Apologies for the derail; we can take it to PMs if you like.

I am convinced that you, Sir, have stumbled upon the answer.

And who was behind the subtle, highly sophisticated Troll Transactions which accumulated in a Troll Block that forked the network?

Bytecoin and the Cryptonote Foundation?  Daleks?  The Master?  The Great Intelligence?  Orville Redenbacher and his Big Popcorn farmers syndicate?  Evil Satoshi from the goatee-Spock twin universe?

Could there be a connection?  Will they strike again?

Someone, or something, is playing a long game....and I fear we are mere pawns.... 

Even so, it's probably done a lot of good for XMR to have all this thorough inspection. Even if AnonyMint's attack vectors don't work out, it's still good to have this level of in depth analysis going on.

If no attack materializes it looks like this overall situation will probably be a net benefit for XMR and BBR.

And if an attack materializes and is thwarted, it could be a huge benefit. We will have to wait and see.

i 100% believe bcx was gonna attack but it was obvious from the beginning he was using anonymintfacistmind guy.

bcx "i have an exploit i'm gonna steal everybody's coins" (gonna timewarp and dump on exchange)

facistmind "in theory maybe if you kissed the moons butt at the right time of the right day of the right year you could steal people minds"

bcx "he's the only one who knows anything ... he's getting close"

it's OBVIOUS bcx is a minerhashpowerbitcoin god.  but he's not a mathcryptoexpert.  he was using facistmind guy to scare the *bleep* out of everyone.

Yes, your own branch of the story here seems to have diverged and become it's own separate tale. It's quite possible that he was just guessing, he seems to have hinted at many different sorts of attacks so far.

Would not have focused on the unmasking of the anonymity if he had not been for BCX asserting he could steal wallets. Unmasking the anonymity (if possible) reveals the i == s in the NIZKP of the one-time ring signature. So far apparently the mathematicians don't think this unlocks any vulnerability in the private keys.

Question is where did BCX get this idea about the private keys and relating it to the anonymity?

We are so smug but we should try to answer that question first.

Maybe this story is over, but I am not 100% confident yet. Apparently there is new decentralized checkpointing code in play, so maybe any rewinding of the block chain is now impossible.

BCX - best comedy show in the world

I look forward to this, I can't wait to see what an unrestrained market can achieve for humanities health issues.

Nothing of note seems to have happened outside BBR and XMR patching up some bugs in their code that seem to be unrelated to BCX.

Good call on identifying stone soup as the produce of an inverse commons.

I find 'large Cathedral' to be a redundant phrase.  A 'small Cathedral' is a church, just as a 'small bazaar' is a shop   

I guess you mean 'large' to indicate the 'too big' size where marginal return to growth turns negative and parasitic on its cohorts in the bazaar.

Unless the King interferes, the cathedral and bazaar compete for resources which are awarded by the market on the basis of merit.   Thus functions are divided (and granularity optimized) efficiently in a self-regulating manner dictated by consumer feedback.

EG, if the waiting list to get married in Las Vegas at St Bridget's is too long, people will go to the drive-through chapel instead.  If Harvard is too expensive, a family can enroll little Sally and Johnny in online classes, and so on.
