Bobster, come on, spill it. I'm very curious.
Promise I won't tell. Scout's honor!
I see about IconicExpert then.. i have had nothing at all to do with DarkCoin so that explains why he is a huge nobody to me.
I take it then he is Wolong of Doge / Pandacoin
And on the scene the user had done fuck all then basically.. showed up tried to pump a coin then left in shame.. so...
Many of us know Fontas.. and i considered him a couple times but was he really much into Altcoins and when late 2012 ? LOL
and thanks for the vote hhaha
Spoetnik, Wolong is a pimply boy who rode on the coattails of the Dogecoin Olympic bobsled promo and claimed credit for the resulting price spike.
After proclaiming himself as some sort of a crypto savant, he released a badly-written trading ebook (it's only several pages - enovellette?) that some developers here, shockingly, took as gospel.
I remember the Uro dev reverently talking about the ebook in one of his hangouts. The phrase "weak hands" that is used by many wannabe-traders originated from that ebook.
Wolong was courted by several devs thereafter, but he joined forces with the UNO dev (not Uro) to release Panda after being promised a lucrative cut, including custody of a huge stash of premine and IPO proceeds. After telling everyone to hold, Wolong preceded to sell off the entire stash and crash the market to a few satoshis. He then accused everyone and everything including the kitchen sink of starting the sell off and rode of with a couple hundred BTCs in his pocket. I still don't know though if the UNO dev was part of the scam, or just another victim. Last I heard, a couple of Panda investors actually managed to track Wolong down via hardwarezone.com.sg and received a settlement. Can't confirm it though.
Despite this, people are still clamoring to work with Wolong. Hi-5 coin, anyone?
Re Fontas: He also works with Wolong. He and Molly suffered huge losses in the Panda scam, but I think Wolong covered his losses at least.
How is iGotSpots so "crypto-fabulous" if you don't mind me asking? I am not all that familiar with a lot of people here on bitcointalk.
iGotSpots was diagnosed with crypto-finger, a dangerous condition caused mainly by releasing too many coins into the crypto wildlands of Cryptsy.
Doctors have pleaded for him to stop releasing new coins.
But like a crack addict, iGotSpots can't help it; he haz to release a newz coinz every so often.
