Following the whole thread and having read really every message and post on it i would like to share my personal opinion:
- great thx to ocminer. I personally see that every technical post he made makes absolutly sense and has its obvious logic. Too bad that there are too many arrogant people here. The Verge devs should have listened to him from beginning and i'am pretty sure the issue would have not gone that way.
- again great thx to ocminer for posting it and making XVG miners aware what happens. I think miners and other pool owners should have the right to know whats going on with a coin they are mining. At least, we XVG miners are part of XVG as well, maybe something that Verge has forgotten allready.
- even one more thx to ocminer for his stance in this case and taking the side of the miners. At least for me, suprnova is now a 1st class pool i thrust and whenever possible i will use it. 1% donation to show and honor such open discussion and defending the miners point of view and interest.
About Verge/XVG:
- Until today i was a Verge fan, Verge miner, Verge holder (with about 200k XVG, not a whale but still), Verge hoper because it was an underdog in my opinion and i like underdogs that make it up.
- This whole issue (and some others) has shown to me that the Verge team is not really interested in its miners, followers, holders, investors, you call it .... They write off some 20m+ XVG as it was nothing. About the legit miners that mined over hours only orphaned blocks, nothing. I guess the pool owners as well are in the negative with these "hacked" blocks.
- Than the noobish fix, backroll, you have read about it all the pages bevor, no need to comment it again. Seriously, this is not the approach i want by a coin i like and have hope in. Absolutly not. Its the approach of a Noob team that just has made a coin, not more and not less. Not even anymore sure if its really such privacy coin as it pretends to be.
- Than again thinking about it. What to await from a team that even does not manage to have a working email on its homepage? Whats left for some skilled programming?
- Here again a point that just makes it clear how you actually threat your followers: Huge amount of followers get scammed on your twitter threads. Scammed users cry for some ad/banner/warning to have others warned. Only thing you comment is " we get alot of messages about it, but seeing as there is absolutely nothing we can do about it right now, those messages are not a priority." Seriously? You can not add a simple warning message on your twitter messages? Spare me the "other coins have the same problem", as we talk here about XVG. So having daily your followers nonstop scammed is not one of your priorities?? Adding a simple warning message which takes about 2s is not possible? It isn't even more about the scam, its about you are unwilling to do the very least someone of you team could do to prevent YOUR followers to get scammed, but 0 interest in it.
- Than the chat with ocminer. The only thing you worried about was that he made it public, again 0 interest in fixing actually the problem and hack. You Verge guys really make me believe that you are not interested in fixing whatever. Only in this thread i have seen at least 4 - 5 high level technical experts you could have taken good advice from. You even give shit about some of the best pools around, again evidience that you do not care about your base and people involved in XVG as pools and miners are the backbone of your currency, at least imo.
- Verges only luck seems to be a lot of desperate XVG holders that hope some day to make a fortune holding that 0.03 - 0.05$ coin raising to US$ 1 (this would be at least by market cap #4). The question is if it is possible that a coin really can make it up based on luck and day dreamers?! Time will show. I personally will follow ocminer and get my hands of XVG, selling my little XVG holding and not mining it anymore. Sometimes in life principles should be stronger than just profit thinking. I just do not feel good supporting anymore a project that gives shit about its followers, miners, pools, investors, believers, ......
Just my 2 cents and satoshis
