Topic: Who has really been scammed by SC (->MC)? A self-report would be helpful... - page 3. (Read 3500 times)

You should consider yourself lucky that you've stayed under the radar.  Unlike Bitcoin, your solidcoins can be taken any time by the owner.  Several people on here have had their wallets invalidated by the network, which is possible since solidcoin is not decentralized as advertised.

I have been involved in both mining and buying SC since SC 1.0 and I have not been scammed
nor have I lost any $$ in doing so. My only losing proposition thus far has been in mining bitcoin
and my loss is small and will probably be recovered once I finish selling off the mining equipment.

These digital-crypto-currency/commodies are highly speculative from an investment standpoint
and one should be fully prepared to lose all $$ invested prior to speculation.

If at some point in the future my situation changes regarding being scammed, I will GLADLY
update this thread and the crypto-currency/commodity community.

Of course not. You are CoinHunter, why would you scam yourself?

Not me either. I love MC !

did this:


and this:


Happen while SC2 was closed source? It'd be nice if a real timeline with links and provable things can be put together. Interestingly, AFAIK there will be no permanent transaction block chain any longer with MC, so I think those earlier awards might end up being history that is not easy to find in the future.

So many accusations are thrown around here like poo at RS and SC that it is hard to keep them separate from the facts. What we just need is to compile a real list backed by evidence and make that easily available for people to judge on their own rather than sifting through posters like BCX.


I am not a SC expert and there is very little in actual data on their website, but from perusing the forums I think GPUs were only getting around 2x a CPU, which makes them pretty worthless as far as energy usage goes. Or at least no better than comparable. I don't know anything about "dickminer" or how much reaper could have made a difference.

it seems you've misunderstood my question:
report of a personal scam
i didn't find anything in your post...

just a few thoughts to your points:
Facts 1-4
1) Early adopter bonus
this bonus is for everyone: the early bird catches the worm...
even you could have done it...
ask some early (happy) bitcoiner

2) MC Fee structure
we will see when it's released...
but the plan of a small fee of ~ 2 MC$ a year to hold the account seems to me not oversized

3) Altering key parameters
so far as i know: the one-man-show has come to an end, now there is a developer-team...
so with SC, it worked, but i don't think with MC...

4) Realsolid is a known thief
this denunciation is not a fact or have you seen his Character Certificate?
i leave this uncommented

Fiction a-c
a) + b) botnets and DDOS - no comments

c) the reaperV13 made obvious to everyone, that LTC is nicely minable by GPUs...
here i have a personal point, that someone did it in the beginning, so called "botnet", because in this LTC-early-adopter-days i was one of the green miners who bought some LTC and lost some BTC, because of some early LTC-GPU-scammer, who ever they are...
yeah, that's the risk to be an early adopter, or to feel like one

as said in some previous posting the line between scamming and "using hideous methods to get someones money" is not clearly defined. Imho it shouldnt be a line but some Mandelbrot but nevertheless - there are strong arguments against SolidCoin / Microcash being honest cryptocurrencies and more likely a scam or at least a scheme to rip off people.

1) Early adopter bonus
THis can be said also about bitcoin, though here its not a bonus by design. Whilst the first few million coins were mined in just a few blocks with payouts of - i think - 32coins per block todays coins per block amount is at below 1. That allows early adopters to have a huge share of the overal amount of coins

2) MC Fee structure
From what i read so far MC will have a daily fee structure (How does it apply to cold storages btw?) which is given back to users depending on their coins. If you look at 1) you will clearly see a major bonus for those who had been early in the pyramid.. again.

3) Altering key parameters of a blockchain by will. Realsolid is known to have changed the key parameters of solidcoin2 block generation multiple times and hence is not reliable when he says that x or y will never happen. So if he tells you he wont ever be able to spend 12mil pre-mined coins its not exactly a lie, but it is an assumption based on his current mood and can be changed any second.

4) Realsolid is a known thief. (See takedown of SC2 source code)

Those were facts so far.. now for some things that have been discussed over and over but cannot be proven but look right:

a) "8=====D"
When SC2 emerged there was a miner with that signature in the blockchain that mined > 75% of all (available) blocks yet never sold them.. evidence at that time was strong that this botnet had the sole function as to keep the price stable... and more.

b) "8====D" and DDOSs
"8====D" stopped mining at the exact moments when the Big Five of Bitcoin pools were dossed.. that happened a few times and was visible on Ahimoth's SC2 information page. Once that topic was discussed (massive drop of Hashing speed, disappearance of the Dickminer and DDOS happening at the same time and FOR the same time the SC2 information site was changed.).

c) "Reaper"
Out of nothing and without anyone knowing it someone posted a fully functional GPU miner for a solely for CPU designed Blockchain. Call me a tinfoil hat.. but that all looked too artificial since exactly when people came up with the idea that the dickminer was not a botnet but some gpu miner Reaper emerged and brought sc2 to its salvation.. oh and the dickminer finally totally made its last appearance.

Enough Facts and Fiction?

Not me...
