Topic: $GHOST by McAfee & allegations from Pivx & Chimera devs (Read 217 times)
When it comes to Crypto activities and project to trust and invest, John McAfee is a no no for me. Any coin he supports that is still new or not well known, if I am holding the coin, I sell off don't want to get retk.
I did not really read the Ghost WP but base on what PIVX team highlighted it seem like they a hard evidence that whitepaper is copied. Caught red handed, this is making Mcafee a scammer. Cryptocurrency already had a bad name in the media but this time, this is a blatant scam from a well known entity. Some of us may not be surprise though, Mcafee had been endorsing scam project even back 2017.
I dont know if this can be considered valid, let say they have a partneship but copying resources from an affiliated project is not a good idea. So what does this means? Ehat is the real concept of their project if they just used other info? I can see he just wanted to launch his own token to gain a profit by making hype on social media.
We all know how MCafee works and his best and strong weapon is his twitter hypes. He still owe us a scenario of eating his dick for not reaching bitcoin's impossible prediction. Piece of advise to those who will invest on ghost, stay away, cause I can feel a pump and dump scenario.

McAfee is totally a scammer right now and he doesn't care. As long as a percent of his follower brought in his shill, buy and sell the coin, the job is done. No wonder the coin need McAfee to shill for them is low quality in the effort, just copy and steal from another coin.
He was a scammer since he was saying that he has copied the whitepaper from another project. I think everyone should put him into their ignore list. I just hope there will be no people try to follow that scammer again. That guy is a cancer in crypto community.
My first impression is, yeah, not surprised. But I read the first few lines of plagiarized text and I swear, I have seen this "non-negotiable" basic human right phrasing about privacy thing written many times before.
Guess why. Because the non-negotiable basic human rights phrase has been used dozens of times already before blockchain. Google it if you don't believe me. So get over it, people in blockchain are plagiarizers mainly.
Anyway, McAfee admitted he's doing all this for money. Big yawn.

It seems many aren't following the news surrounding this Ghost vs Pivx coin, even few PIVX engineers switched from Pivx to switch and ghost token, I think everything is now resolved, I'm looking forward to what McAfee has in planned for this project
I thought this allegations have been cleared already? He already admitted forking from PIVX and adding extra privacy features that PIVX don't have, common people, if you want to nailed this then go after BCH BSV and others too
Yeah since McAfee is most hated by many it is very likely that this will be extensively dragged especially by the pivx supporters, maybe he should have requested permission before taken content from another source without proper acknowledgement, that is not a good way to start a project, although am looking forward to the launch of Ghost.

Copying of other project's whitepaper is now looking like a normal thing which is totally wrong and it shows that most projects nowadays have nothing to offer than to pump and dump the token. Just imagining this, a project that copies whitepaper how will it develop when it's clear the team have no idea on how the project works. This act by McAfee is wrong and it totally changes the view people have towards him. Nevertheless, I won't still be surprised when it list and pumps then dump terribly as shitcoins do.
For the users wondering about what the case by Pivx about plagiarism, here are some matching text from whitepaper of both the projects. They were found and highlighted by PIVX team and made public on their twitter. The whitepaper for both the projects can be found on their websites.
What? I didn't know this happened. I sure dodge a bullet right there. With this evidence pertaining to plagiarism, I doubt investors will invest in that coin anymore. I was suppose to invest in that as mention in my other post but thanks OP for informing us. I wonder what will mcafee response to this? how will he get out of this one? will he blame his developers and pretend that he isn't part of this?
Looked into the content of both of the project. Though ghost has changed some words, everyone would know, it's an exact copy and a case of plagiarism. Privacy based coins have similarities. But copying another project word by word is not a positive reputation for a project.
Specially when it's supported by a so claimed crypto promoter.

Im having a thought that ghost tokens were gonna skyrocket during release not because it is good project but due to hype and shill that it will flood the whole cryptosociety. I am sure whales will lay some fishing traps on users who will be tempted to have some profits. We know for sure that the owner of this project does not have a good reputation on cryptocommunity. His not true to his word and even announcing eating his dick if bitcoin does not reach 100k price. Just making a big hype so people invest and pump it. I dont recommend playing with this ghost tokens considered it another shitcoin.
Pump N dump tweets nowdays not making enough money for him so he upgraded his business model to copy past WP from another coins 
to sell his hype shit token to the 1 million noobs of his twitter followers

he really succeeded in getting people into trouble. now, i don't believe anything that is said. he seems to really want to be a superior scammer and he is proud of himself.
if you do not want to experience a loss, you should be careful with every project that he holds. don't believe whatever he says.

I just heard this, is this really Mcafee's product?. the statement that Mcafee says makes no sense as well as the projects that he was previously launched too
we just pay attention to this project, because in the future, tricks of price manipulation will certainly be launched

Read the whitepaper. He totally copy pasted pivx whitepaper. I won't be surprised is he stole the other one too. John McAfee only thinks about John McAfee. Selfish af.
so patheticYes pathetic. John McAfee says he will launch Ghost token on May 25. Chimera launched their privacy token $CMRA on April 7, 2 weeks before John announced his plans for so called Ghost token.

McAfee used to be an influencer but lately he seems to be involved innthe spotlight for several wrong reasons
A new project should not face backlash at all, it affects its growth and i doubt the coin can make with so many copy and paste features
Crypto is more than copy andn paste
