Is quickseller trying to bury the association?
Interesting in deed.
Opi stop listening to QS I doubt he knows anything more about all this than you do personally and spread the information FAR and WIDE leave no media or agency untouched with the information. Some of it will stick. Mister Quickseller is anonymous entity on these boards and covers up his location / identity for someone that is supposedly trustworthy you might want to be more careful in your interactions with this user Opi.
What QS said is true. CCN is not a credible news site. They use lot of speculation and tell it's a fact.
@OP: I recommend you to message CoinTelegraph. You need to provide them with valid proof. CoinDesk is also good.
The article and the claims are garbage. I skimmed it once and I skimmed it again, it goes like this:
Bitcointalk is great
AMT + Joshua Zipkin sucks
We don't like Josua Zipkin *insert random old screenshots*
He would enjoy if Bitcointalk broke
Therefore Joshua Zipkin hacked Bitcointalk + add some question marks so can't be sued
If there is some actual evidence in there, please point it out.
So the full content of skype chats (in my sig) is not evidence enough? Kinda hard to make that much stuff up. Easy to check against the forums posts as well. And the screenshots are not random or old. In fact I challenge you to find earlier versions of those. I took those screenshots on the 25th to CCN as they were requesting them. They have unedited versions I provided as well but these are cropped to preserve the privacy of other people on my contact list.
And there is no hard proof he did do this. BUT there is plenty of evidence if one is looking. For instance. Joshua Zipkin's twitter has been very active with alot of SEO friendly links. Things that would bump him up on the rankings. This is something he is known for. In fact before mining this was his thing. Someone with his level of desperation would hire someone to bring this forum down. Considering that there are others in the same circumstance, its very plausible that he conspired with his family/buddies in KNC, Technobit and bitmine.ch to bring this down. Their petahash operation cant generate new business if their reputations are smeared here. Business is lost.
Joshua made it his mission to bring this forum down, there are others who can back this information up.
