Interesting.
What concerns me is it seems now a days it means nothing to have a bad history.
Here here on that!
I put almost as much effort into "doing the right thing" as I do development and I've still had a lot of kick back in the past.
Not that I'm complaining, it's just the way it goes, and I'd rather have a clean conscience. But it is quite annoying when not many others take the same attitude yet reap the rewards regardless!
I would consider my self to be good at spotting the bad guy.
If you mean well your intentions are honest i think FUD etc is not much of a problem to overcome.
Usually when i see someone crying FUD it's because critical questions were asked..
And then it seems like some coin dev is insulted that we did not all assume his project is LEGIT
given the context of the altcoin-scene as a whole i think the days of getting the benefit of the doubt are long gone.
it's really simple..
Got a legit project ?
Tough questions get asked ?
Well suck it up & answer them.. and move on.
I can provide examples of how this plays out just fine too.
The ones that get evasive and shady about answering the questions have me red flagging them.
Risto the Monero super star Millionaire (not a Monero Team Member) highlights my point nicely here..
Re: Monero Economy Workgroup - The MEW ThreadA guy asked what happened to the money ? (he had donated to)
that guy was accused of FUD'ing because he asked.. how dare he ask the mighty Risto ? the nerve huh ?
Let's not forget Monero dev's etc claimed David Latapie and Risto / Reptiela were NOT a part of the Monero team !
So what does that link show ?
It shows those two guys (with other Monero problems) being caught collecting Monero donation funds with no accountability.
AND controlling what and where it's spent.. then when confronted they get mouthy about it..
attacking people that dare challenge what they do.. AKA: FUD / Trolling
What did Risto do ?
I was blown away big time !
David Latapie had collected all the funds then vanished for months holding control of the Monero team money
who was given to dev's of course
Then we see Risto admitting he took it upon himself to spend the money on what ever he felt like..
which would explain why he got snappy / defensive LOL
He decided that money donated and ear-marked for adoption etc was to be used for what he called
a "powerful asset" for adoption.. what was it ?
A 2nd forum game he started at Bitcointalk "Retro Virtual City" (paid advertising i had reported as spam yet denied by mods)
Where i have already pointed out how he told me specifically on Poloniex chat before he had made $1,000's
on his first forum game.. so was it an "powerful adoption asset" ? or a way for him to start a money making scheme ?
And to my amazement he got mouthy when confronted if he had gotten anyone's permission for that forum game..
He said no.. he just did it because "he wanted to"
Guess who controls Monero boys & girls ?
And what is with David Latapie during those months of hiding ? (where he said he was not hiding)
i posted he admitted he was.. what was he up to ?
Please review my "Monero Police french fraud topic"
Where i might add again he was said to be NOT a part of the "Monero team"
Yet he clearly is.. AND i also have a PM from a dev with Monero who called him a team member LOL
FUD is a mighty big problem for those who have a lot to hide LOL
And my negative rating here is because supposedly i had lied about the French Police fraud thing
when all i did was post David Latapie' quote where he made the biggest online apology i ever seen
..to the Monero community (for fucking them over then hiding) which he wasn't doing (but was) ROFL
Few people have cried TROLL & FUD more than Monero guys here.
