Yeah your right no SEC exists in this world.... And most coins are P&D's but this one is out in the open....


IPO needs to set up a buy wall so people can sell the shit Blocknet..


I don't care who Dan is never did...For all we know its Keyser Söze

 The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he did not exist..



I don't know him personally, but I have basically a complete dox on him now.

1. Shouldn't you be crafting your replies to some questions?
2. Check yourself before you rekt yourself.

I never threatened you at all. If you read through the thread you would see that. I never doubted that your identity was public since day one, and as you so eloquently put it, it has been so why so touchy. But I do doubt anyone has peeled just the first layer on the onion back and from what I see you are not passing the sniff test.
Unclean hands don't work in your favor. Awaiting your answers. You saying you did not outsource any code reviews is a bit odd. Does that mean that you outsourced all of the coins source codes just not the reviews? And if you outsourced the wallets what is the point in the review? From the looks of the evidence posted here it seems there is a lot of copy pasta going on.
I am now going through Dan's post history before he came back, i.e. posts in 2013. It is really scary. No programmer I know would obsessively write only about some ASIC hardware. Apparently, he was not fascinated by software technology at all. What the hell is going on?

Or.. i legitimately wanted SDC as part of the blocknet.. I paid dan for some work (he has to eat and feed his family too you know) and these guys are fudding.. because it's crypto.. you can take your tin hats off, invest a few bucks into blocknet because it's a real project with real devs and real money backing it.



How much do this guys need for his family? XC premine dump, he got paid for couple other projects + now blocknet. Backing by what?

All the bitcoins people send in for the ICO is the funding backing it.

that's not backing, or are you not going to spend these bitcoins for development? Backing is what SuperNET is doing.

I fail to see a problem here. We have an acclaimed dev working on projects and a pump group pushing them? Isn't that exactly what everyone hopes to buy into? Or are you all the saviors of crypto? I can imagine whatever shit anyone here has in their portfolio is just as easily torn apart.

Run along now. The adults are talking.
Says the person involved in maryjanecoin. You come here to bash things like blocknet but you invest yourself in copy of a copy of a coin backed by an illegal substance?
You are brilliant. It's no wonder people pay no attention to bitcointalk any longer.

So what I decide to invest it makes it ok for anyone to steal? ...I'm not following.
btw maryj's dev is from a state that marijuana is 100% legal and it looks to only be implemented where it is legal.
It is apparent your grasp on reality is lacking.
What you decide to invest in makes you an imbecile and your points mute. I still fail to see where anyone is stealing. I see people working behind the scenes to grow the value of whatever they are working on. The exact same thing that happens behind the scenes of every coin. All I see is a bunch of naive crybabys here.

You do realize that it's just a temporary wallet to contain temporary coins until the real tokens can be redeemed as assets once the tech is developed?

No, I didn't get that. Thanks for enlightening me, it reduces the inexplicability of the choice.

Saved you from a scam? Send me some BTC!
The guy attends shows and puts on a legit farce and has a business.  Wonder if any of this will bleed over to his rl.

I find it useful to keep reminding myself that the map is not the territory and the bitcointalk/github account is not the person.

Co-incidentally, I encountered some interesting relevant info, thought I'd write it up and share it with the discussants here ...

BlockNet is a straightforwardly-rebranded git clone of BitSwift. By “straightforwardly-rebranded”, I mean that, apart from some minimal changes to parameters, the rest of the changes are to the strings carrying the coin's name. This string replacement is often crude, fuzzily focused and inadequately constrained.

BlockNet, presented for ICO in Nov 2014, is basically a degraded copy of 6 month-old hackcoin and the identifiable descendants that populate the family tree have all turned out to be black sheep. Using this foul heritage as a foundational codebase for an ambitious project is an inexplicably odd choice for a reputedly savvy dev.

It may be that the choice of initial commit is irrelevant - some devs adopt the tactic of simply obliterating the original commit with a later monolithic commit or even ignoring the open source code entirely and pursuing a V2.0-binary-only release policy, spuriously argued as aimed at protecting IP.

Crypto is becoming more Oz like than ever. Just surreal.
As long as we can keep pulling back the curtain like this the better. Preferably more quickly though.

I don't want to be an attention whore. .. but should we start a new topic labeled "Dan Matecafe = prometheus" to get people to read / not miss?


For fuck sakes! I just finished my greatest hits , and now you want to add another? Unicornfarts (chuckle every time) ...don't I know you? "Don't want to be an attention whore" hmmmm. Somebody else used to say that a lot, but he hasn't posted since Oct 10th. I miss him. He was a nasty little troll, but he did make me laugh.

I'm not saying you are a troll! You are very powerful and wise. Actually... you are all powerful and wise! I made a library for your offering. Please spare me, for I am an XC collaborator. I was just doing my duty. (Spoetnik will get that joke).

Seriously guys... I am all trolled out. I'm exiting out of XC. Done! See yah!! Later! ... bye.

This is really awkward, but... does anybody know how to delete your sig? Just noticed I had XC at the bottom. Actually... I'll figure it out. Ima just gonna back away slowly now.. really slowly..

Lol who do you think I am?

I just think people need to be informed and there is so much misinformation a title is sometimes the best way.

So i asked these questions in the xc thread and my post got deleted and the thread is now locked..not shady at all  Roll Eyes



So dan is just being 100% evasive now. He is not answering questions in a cohesive and straight manner he is also not helping his investors by joking around.. This is alarming and highly evasive.

Dan openly answer some of the questions here please:

1: Did you develop hal in any way shape or form (answer clearly and explain what if at all you worked on for hal!)

2: Do you develop for util (again a straight forward answer yes or no and with an explanation of what you worked/work on if you did)

3: Can you list all of the people who formulated the blocknet with you and is prom bob fonats or any other known pump group in any way involved in the setup? (if so then detail specifically how and to what extent)

4: Please tell everyone here how you came to decide on these coins and did prom have anything to do with this?

5: Have you worked with prom or bob or fontas any other known pump group to date (yes or no is suffice it just answers)

6: Have you done any code reviews on coins prom has be involved with (we know most of the blocknet coins prom is involved with)

7: Have you done code reviews for prom directly or him as a contact that lead you to do one?

8: has prom ever funded you in any way shape or form (elaborate please telling us what you did for prom if you did anything at all)







I've answered all of these questions already, go back and research the information for yourself

No did have not. You have been evasive please just answer them in a cohesive manner. By not doing so again is extremely evasive!
Believe it or not i want to put and end to this and you are just enabling it to carry on which makes it suspicious.

Hopefully the info I provided that shows him paying over $20K to two programming companies, one in russia and the other in india, will give us the scoop.
I am leaning towards the russian firm bc they received the lions share of the money.

Just stay away from any IPO, ICO, Iblabla.
All those motherfuckers just steal your money.
I mean look at fucking NXT or Ether...

I guess greedy idiots will never learn and keep loosing money.
Invest in coins with some history and honest devs, there is plenty of good coins.

how was nxt a scam ipo?

its called reading through the past 10-20 pages dude, unless you feel like you deserve a direct response from Dan, in which case you dont because you're not even an investor.

His answers are all evasive i just want them in a cohesive manner, not hard if he really wanted to put an end to it i don't think in any way i'm asking to much. all the thread locking and post deleting aside his behaviors lately is questionable.

 so then join the discussion
http://xctalk.com/index.php?/topic/227-regarding-all-the-fud/

if you go there with an intent to troll, you'll get banned instantly. I think the entire team has had enough with the 5-6 different FUD topics that they have to deal with here.

Yeah cool, he seems to be putting something together now which i hope will be specific answers. Cant wait to see this handled properly.

I highly doubt that any of these people are the same person. That doesn't make sense and it's just distracting people from getting the answers to the questions that actually matter like whether or not Dan Metcalf is the developer for HAL and UTIL.

Feel free to dyor and contribute. But one thing I can tell you is Dan Metcalf was not reviewing code. He was outsourcing it all in my opinion. Even Metcalf's earlier posts on bct, he indicates he is a "hardware guy".
Are there any members with ties to Russia and India present? You could help with this. I believe you could get farther than myself with the the programmers shown in the screenshots below:
