What is nutildah talking about?
GHOST is clearly a fork of another open source project, it is normal to find some similarities.
I need to add here that i did the swap, all smooth, thanks to the community for help me out.
Topic: Ghost by McAfee - page 5. (Read 2781 times)
Crypto is a Clown World, it`s more about creating a huge hype about "the next big thing" than about serious work.
While I appreciate your honesty, you are completely wrong here. Crypto in itself is just a technology - it is not bad or good - it just is. The clowns in crypto insist on pretending crypto is a Clown World in order to justify their scammy behavior. Creating undue hype in order to market a scam is nothing new and has been done since the beginning of civilization.
OK, so instead of being a clone of Pivx its now a clone of Particl: still, absolutely nothing new or innovative being done here. There is some plagiarism happening in the new white paper but it isn't from Particle, its from Zcoin.
From the new Ghost white paper (copied words are bolded):
Quote
Usually, cryptocurrency transactions are broadcasted across the network using the Gossip protocol, in which every node sends the transaction to all the nodes, to which it is connected. While the current system is efficient, it is also possible to de-anonymize the original sender of the txs [Fan18]. Dandelion++ makes a simple but crucial change to the current transaction broadcasting pattern.
Instead of sending transactions to all connected nodes on the network, Dandelion++ initially sends them to only one other node. This next node then randomly decides if it Ghost, a peer-to-peer privacy-oriented electronic cash system broadcasts the transaction on to just one, or all of its connected peers. With the introduction of the element of chance, the propagation pattern now becomes unpredictable, making it infeasible to trace a specific transaction back to the original tx broadcaster’s IP address.

Usually, the way that cryptocurrency transactions spread across the network is very predictable. While the current system is effective, it is also vulnerable to low-cost, large-scale deanonymization attacks. Dandelion++ makes a simple but crucial change to the previous broadcasting pattern.
Instead of sending transactions to all neighbors, Dandelion++ initially sends them to only one other node. This next node then rolls a dice to decide if it passes it on to just one or all of its neighbors. With the introduction of this element of chance, the propagation pattern now becomes unpredictable, making it infeasible to follow the transaction back to the sender.

This isn't plagiarism but it certainly is a lie:

Why Particl?
When Ghost was initially started, it was an unanimous decision from the development team to fork the codebase from this open source project . Further to their initial bitcoin fork, they have extended the functionality of their network in a direction that similarly aligned their goals with the ones Ghost has.

1. The initial idea was actually to clone Pivx and hope nobody would notice.
2. After getting caught, they just cloned a smaller project instead of bothering to create anything original.
This project has quite a few markings of a scam and if they had an official account on this forum I would probably tag & flag them.
Don't buy this bullshit unless you like losing money.

There is now a Github Account for Ghost: https://github.com/ghost-coin
LOL, what do you mean "real whitepaper"? You mean the second, non-plagiarized whitepaper?
Just ask yourself this: if a project can't be bothered to summarize the idea of their coin with their own words from the get-go, how much effort do you truly believe they are going to be putting into anything else? When caught, they used the same excuse that every other scam project that got caught with a plagiarized whitepaper uses: "Oh, we outsourced it to a 3rd party and had no idea..."
Obvious scam is obvious.
Sure, it will pump, and then it will dump, and then it will turn to dust. Just like every other crypto project McAfee has ever put his name behind. Apparently people still have faith that a 74 year-old con man will somehow develop something original out of a forked project, and that this time is going to be different.
Oy vey.

Well some people say that even the new whitepaper is plagiarized from Particl, I haven't verified the Information on this picture:
Meanwhile the real whitepaper was published on the official website.

It is now possible to purchase Ghost with FIAT-Money directly form the official Website, that makes it easy for normies to buy Ghost.
And there are plans for a Ghost privacy eSIM-Card for mobile phones: https://www.ghostbymcafee.com/ghostesim/
Tomorrow is the mainnet launch. Here is the procedure to claim the Ghost Coin: https://medium.com/@GhostbyMcAfee/official-swap-instructions-65364982dbe7
people interesting because flatform has annual reward: 7.74% ? or because use RingCT and stealth addresses?
I'm interesting in this, because Ghost has a huge hype potential. Imagine McAfee goes to the mainstream media and shilling his Ghost Coin.

In my opinion it will bee somewhere between the worst case and the best case scenario. I hope that I can sell my Ghost between 8$ and 30$ in stages during the next bullrun.
And you?
$1.5 on hitbtc now, if you buy at $0.6 you got itAnd you?

HitBTC is a shitty scam exchange. McAfee is a Scammer and Shiller.
If you want to lose your money go ahead and invest in this.

Looks like a lot of project already announce related to McAfee, does anyone of this succeed yet or do you believe it will succeed?
Personally, I don't trust McAfee anymore and I'm not going to invest any project related to him especially if he is part of the team or the CEO.
In my mind McAfee = SCAM>

PS: No, there is no reason to invest in or attempt to trade this garbage. Those who do will be sorry they did shortly.

I think for speculation it might become a good coin.
McAfee took the code from PIVX and the logo from NIX team. Guess its legit in crypto sphere to take over code from some team and lanch your very own taste of moon / shit coin. Did you noticed McAfee tatooed his arm with this GHOST logo ? I think, down to his ass there is still a lot of space for more coins logos to be created and chilled by McAfee.

If you buy this... you absolutely deserve to lose your money.
A lot of people are losing already, they have just followed the wave, I don't know why people still trust McAfee after all shits he said, some people jumped into this coin when he announced on twitter and a few days later the price melted.
A lot of investors accept the risk of following him, though most have doubts about his honesty. After previous scandalous projects, he still has many followers, this guy is very good at attracting people.

I think it is better to observe his actions from the outside, so it is safer (and fun).. given that this is a man of his word)) if said the made, if not made the still times said)))
"Back in mid-2017, McAfee said that by 2020, the rate of the first cryptocurrency will grow to $500,000, and if this does not happen, he is ready to cut off and eat his own sexual organ. Later, he changed his forecast, saying that by this time bitcoin will be worth $1 million.
However, earlier this year, he retracted his words, saying that he only "drew attention" to the cryptocurrency market. Now, McAfee said that it was an absurd joke, his forecast was "nonsense", and people who believed in his words are idiots." https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1266734176235126785?s=20
what's to stop him from saying that you're all idiots who believed in Ghost, after something might go wrong with his plan?))
Did you invested in ghost tokens or you are waiting for the mainnet to invest into ghost , what your felling about it?
I bought 8`000 Ghost between 0.60$ and 2$ (for me Ghost is a speculation and not an investment). I hop that the mainnet will come otherwise there is no way to sell my Ghost for a higher price.
In the worst case scenario the mainnet will never come, McAfee fake his own death and the Ghost ERC20 Token will be delisted from the exchanges.
In the best case scenario the mainnet is a solid working system, that earns profit for the staking Holder and Masternod provider, and because of McAfee shilling ability the Ghost price will literally go to the moon, means a marcetcap beyond Moneros market cap during the last bullrun (7 Billion).
In my opinion it will bee somewhere between the worst case and the best case scenario. I hope that I can sell my Ghost between 8$ and 30$ in stages during the next bullrun.
And you?
Did you invested in ghost tokens or you are waiting for the mainnet to invest into ghost , what your felling about it?
At least you got your airdrop. I am still waiting on mine using mew
Where did you check your Ghost Balance?
Did you take a look by using your Ethereum public key in etherscan.io or did you just look in your mew wallet?
In your mew wallet you must add manually a new token so that mew will show you such new token.
At least you got your airdrop. I am still waiting on mine using mew
Why you still waiting for it? I read somewhere that they have yet to complete the airdrop, hope you will find yours as well soon.
