well, I did start unFacebook, and exp(k)*r^G does make my new secret coin secure.  I find it hard to post without making the post about me.

so, yes, in a sense, I'm back again.  And the ringsignature cycle is not over until bruce wagner sings to a fat lady.

until my next post - this is my last post.

Lol you "left" just to come back and the cycle repeats.

It would be great for BCX to weigh in with a definitive answer.  I strongly suspect he will not.

One other thought.  Originally, he gave a warning that he would kill off XMR.  When pressed, much later, he said XMR would "Decline".  Keep in mind, he is fairly masterful at creating language that is possible to interpret in many ways.  I believe he is careful with his words.

It is possible that he was willing to commit some resources to the decline of XMR.  It seems possible that he was trying to secure the 500 BTC bet to give himself even more resources.  I suspected that he might use 500 BTC in order to do whatever one must do for a hash power and/or TW attack.

What if it was more simple than that?  Is it possible that he used the initial decline to scoop up a load of XMR to dump on the market?  I'm using bitcoin wisdom for volume, so it's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like:
--within an hour of the announcement, there were 130,000 XMR that changed hands.
--within about 36 hours, it looks more like 350-380K
--given the volume right now, that would be enough for 8-10 days of pretty merciless dumping--possibly even 20+ days.

Yes, this form of attack would take some capital up front.  But if one were willing to commit 500 BTC to it, one could have bought about 166,000 XMR immediately following the announcement at some low prices (certainly under .003).  If one watched the price climb back up to around .0036 in the week or so post-announcement, then started dumping, that could have easily influenced the price.  Average volumes of maybe 40K per day, so 5-8K in daily dumps could have quite an impact.  The funny thing is that a lot of that dumpage would have been profitable to a Sept. 21 buyer...basically, up until just a few days ago.  One would get most of that capital back, even without an acceptance of the wager.

Active imagination, I know.  Probably more likely that XMR is just caught in the same downdraft along with BBR and many other alts.

Yes, it would take forever.

If BCX has lower hash rate, would it take longer to have issues?

It is interesting that the price at the height of the drama was around 333-336k from what I remember and last time I looked it had hit 260k. This being after the deadline has passed with no apparent issues that have emerged yet.

Testicle man loves to quote himself. I would bet he stands in front of the mirror at home and talks to himself.  

And why is that?

And they are all likely going lower to make lows before or on 2015.75. Individual alts can buck the trend for bursts, but unless they are not targeted to investors, they are not going to avoid the trend.

the irony is that due to risto and friends holding the price up for the dumpers - it's less now than it was when under his threat so likely bcx has lost money.

lol

he's the kind of person who remove all his posts after a failed attack on ltc. do you think he'll come here and be humble about everything ? i assume he lost a lot of money due to ltc plummeting and has just spent every bit of reputation he had left to buy himself a big enough xmr position

There's a chance he wasn't bluffing and simply couldn't destroy the coin like he thought he could. Would be great to get an explanation from him.

Ok thanks. I thought BCX wouldn't bluff...well I was wrong 

I think you answered your own question. At this point it's pretty safe to admit it was just hot air.

I'm not up to date. Is there TW-attack going on? It seems all the deadlines have been passed.

Not saying "short-term" =/= saying "short-term".Perhaps you should be more specific next time and use less absolute statements.

This turned to be another bcx ain't shit thread. Where's the attack you loser bcx? Fake people and fake threats had me lol.
Monero is here and more powerful than yesterday. Where are you bcx?

Daddy are we there yet?

For once the answer is yes.


But this looks like home!

Yes you are safe and sound
