Fixed that for you.

For some background info on just how upstanding a character Bobsurplus is, I'd recommend this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/monthly-membership-scam-beware-of-scammer-bobsurplus-730880

BTW how long were you banned for again?

Before we all started chasing BCX and TFM's shiny new objects, discussion was underway about reaching funding goals.

Since we have some time to kill before the moment of truth, let's get back to that.

A 1% devtax on mined blocks (excluding tx fees) would provide devs with motivation for putting in continuing/extra effort.

In addition to previously listed items, we should consider keeping funds in reserve to pay for bug bounties and network defense (IE VPS rentals to host known good nodes while under attack).

I proposed a "retroactive pre-mine" in the form of a Bootstrap Block containing 1% of all XMR, which is 184,000 coins.

The 184k XMR/$300k it provides seems sufficient to fund the following to at least alpha testing:

$100k - refactor codebase
$50k - security audits
$50k - integrate DB
$25k - complete I2P
$25k - Official Wallet
$15k - bug bounties
$15k - p2pool
$15k - trustless web wallet
$5k - network defense fund

Are these numbers too high, low, or just about right?

I don't know where it was a week ago, but it was talked about in this very thread ~19 days ago. Including bonus comments from the original author of that article, when someone first tried to use it to say the Monero dev's were scammers (hint - they're not):

Umm, that's been posted for more than a month, so I guess it was in the same exact place it is now.

These guys were cheating from the start. Intentionally crippled shit.. Where was this info a week ago?

You're doing that for him. I buy every time you post. Enjoying a FUD discount thanks to you. 

Listen here XMR dev, I dont need to divulge who my tech guy is. You should be focused on selling your XMR and not chatting here with me.

No thanks. Perhaps you could get some actual cryptanalysis done and then we can talk.

I bet you would pass.. You would rather go down with the titanic then get out alive... AKA BagHolder!

You mean someone who has released only closed source software that closely mimics the anon-tech of darkcoin, which you clearly find lacking. That's OK I think I'll pass.

You may want to also look into the code vetting done by Dan Metcalf of XC.

It was not nonesense. You guys failed RC3, the coin was dying and I just voiced my opinion that drk was a dying coin and on its way out. (Which I was right about)
Hey, just curious... How many more failed RC's have you had since then on your search for masternode anonymity?  
RC5 or 6 I believe.

I'd also like to point out that when I was on the drk thread cloak was trading at around 50K sat maybe up to about 80K sat. It then went to over 350K sat, with 1000+ volume days for weeks.... Lottttts of money was made and lost.

And guess what.....

Stealthcoin is the new Cloak. Deal with it and either make some money or be a whiny little bitch. Just get off my back for calling your drk bagholding ass out back in the day when you guys were all yelling how rc4 was gonna be the best thing since sliced bread.

RC4 was a fail btw!

So like I said, either get with the program and make some money or bugger off.

Monero shall be included alongside the veritable likes of Magic Internet Money and Earthcoin. Winning!

Seriously though, I know this is the Monero thread, and I don't mean to feed the trollfolk, but after the nonstop stealthcoin shilling I decided to take a look at their ANN page.

They had a 4 day PoW period, not even four days, and then went completely PoS. At the same time they tout:
Fair launch my ass. You can't have a fair distribution of coins if your entire PoW period is practically shorter than the time it takes me to eat a stealth doughnut, digest it, and stealthily shit it out (I have a slow digestive system).

There's no functional anonymous sending, only promises to implement it at some later date. The "stealthtext" sending option apparently relies entirely on servers hosted by the coin's creator; such decentralization!

They also mention several times how the coin has proof-of developer because it's been approved by TheCryptoAsian™, standing along other giants of the cryptoworld like: rootcoin, ethancoin, aerocoin, and roscoin. Sorry, but this bullshit sounds more like proof-of-paying-some-guy-named-TheCryptoAsian™ or proof-of-collusion-with-TheCryptoAsian™. What a load of horseshit. I guess I should dump all my bitcoin because Satoshi didn't make the cut with TheCryptoAsian™.

If you guys are gonna shill nonstop, at least find something that's not such a piece of garbage, ffs.

Bobsurplus is beyond pathetic. Every month or so he choose a new coin to shill for. He used to spam the Darkcoin thread with Cloakcoin advertising, now he comes here to propagate new nonsense. The coins change, but the nonsense he spews follows the same formula.

Yeah, and he wants your private key, right off the bat, in order to participate. If that doesn't set off the RED B.S. flag, I don't know what would.

I posted about it in Scam Accusations: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8917702

Don't even try to understand it.  You'll just get a headache.

It's something like James777's wacky yet overambitious SuperNet project to abstract individual coin's features and create a framework for interoperability.

Like UML and other metamodeling wankery, they do nothing except create unproductive make-work jobs for their proponents (and pump coins for later dumps).

So instead of choosing to remain ignorant (and I know a lot of people that earn significantly more than 50 BTC a month and similarly choose not to remain ignorant) I clicked on the XUC link. It is a cryptocurrency barwizi is hoping to launch next month to provide a "common" currency between cryptocurrencies. Monero is one of the coins he has selected to participate. Stealthcoin, unfortunately, is not. But I'm sure if you vacate our thread and go back to shilling elsewhere you can beg him to include it. All the best with that, chum, I'm sure your tech advisor can assist you and your 50 BTC a month to beg barwizi for inclusion.

MM88 is a great troll; an instant legend.  You know he's a troll, but can't tell what kind.  

My parsing: MM88 is a genuine XMR supporter, posing as an fake XMR supporter pretending to be an pro-XMR reverse troll/shill.

He's a marvelous parody of the 'sophisticated' anti-XMR trolls, and goes them one better, IMO.  

And you can't argue with the results he got.  Couldn't have done it better myself!

Hats off to his inverse-psychology false-flag Serbian Jew double-bluff strategy of tension.
