Re: Julian Cain - redemption, sail off to the sunset or legal issues?
(as evident by the half-ass shit Zerotime and anonymity he produced). You shills can go on and on about "break it if you can", but it doesn't change the fact that we are collection of experts and we know what the fuck we are talking about.
How do you expect the community to believe you without proof? It's just his words vs yours. Nothing more. Nothing less.
So let me get this right. You are a collection of tough shit experts and you can't explain why shit doesn't work. Way to go.
How can one explain how something which isn't properly specified in a white paper is going to fail precisely? Whose job is it to document properly and write a white paper properly? Mine or his?
I have explained why ZeroTime won't scale. The anonymity bullshit he came up with was really a hoot.
As for who is the expert here, a little bit of history might give you a fucking clue:

Re: CoinJoin: Bitcoin privacy for the real world
First, an adversary could make a 1 Satoshi input and DOS on the (3) step. You ban that address but adversary has billions more at neglible cost.
I suppose you could set a minimum input amount to avoid this. But still no problem for the adversary, he passes his BTC through a mixer can comes to hit you again and again.
I am sorry to bring you bad news Gregory but with a non-atomic operation you can always be DOS-attacked. Zerocoin may be the solution?
Transaction fees and confirmation times should slow down the attacker.
As for slowing down, the adversary can have many parallel addresses in play so I don't think so.
Transaction fees might work if they are significant enough. I haven't studied how much the tx fees are in Bitcoin much. I think I read that certain txs can be 0 for some cases?
If the adversary is mixing through CoinJoin transactions (hehe, uses what he also DOS-attacks against itself), then the blockchain tx fee is going to be shared between all parties of the CoinJoin transaction, so could it be insignificant?
Edit: I've just realized the adversary can eliminate the transaction fees too, by spending those banned amounts as he normally would (e.g. day trading), thus he doesn't incur any extra cost.
Edit#2: unless all decentralized CoinJoins share their ban lists (which is quite impractical to achieve as it is the antithesis of decentralization), adversary can just round-robin through them.
So I've won the argument. Checkmate.

Please do back up the truck shills and load your boat with Vcrash tokens. Prepare for your checkmate.
I have nothing more to say on this matter ever again. You'll receive the checkmate indirectly from something I will publish.
