Re: Why I chose not to invest in SpectreCoin (XSPEC) now
You are sadly mistaken if you think I'm attempting to "save" a coin or am emotionally invested in a dataset. This is not an issue of "care." This is an issue that deserves visability so I'm in full promotion of bumping this to the top. My inquieries are not something to "beat." I see that you think that this is some sort of gladiatorial battle that you are "winning" which is why you attempted to turn my words against me in some desperate attempt to discredit me when I am just posing questions and concerns to gunner. Questions are not really something to discredit. You either answer them or don't. I'm not making any claims. As I stated before I found your post particularly biased and non-objective highlighting incomplete "research" to skew information. jbg has said that "lines of code" are not a good benchmark to determine the amount of time dedicated to producing a product.
I can't fault Gunner for badgering or harassing. That's his prerogative an if he can't suffer a potential scammer lightly and thinks this will be an effective method of drawing them out... then that's cool by me. I'd personally prefer that he kept his argument succinct and within the bounds of provable fact. Having said that I do think that he's being or trying to be genuine.
BUT statements like "Brycel is made up by jbg" Yes, I CAN fault gunner for those. He is making an assertion by saying that. This is a belief. Not a fact. Until he can prove this belief it's a fact... This is unreasonable FUD.
It's not a matter of whether or not I believe him. This is a matter of proof and evidence is necessary. Is it a possibility that Brycel is a fabricated entitiy? Sure. But saying that he is without proof is not only speculative, but negligent.
Also continuing to equate lines of code with actual invested time SEEMS to be ignoring the other responsibilities that jbg has that he stated have been time consuming for him.
@ gunner You aren't seeing enough commits for your liking so you think this is a scam. That's a fair statement. And this is clearly of interest to you as you apparently made a new account to address this situation. I'd encourage you to continue with your assessment but refrain from overstepping into statements like the above that you haven't or can't back up.
I wouldn't still be questioning your intentions if you hadn't made your assertions personal and made backless statements presented as truth.

Still no good argument here, all I see is some guy who thinks he is good at putting a psychological spin on everything, you're pretty poor at it too, but A+ for confidence.
You have XSPEC in your signature, you're telling me you don't have an investment in this coin?
Also you like throwing around the word discredit, there's nothing to discredit here, you provide no good argument.
Also as for Brycel, if it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.
Trying to say prove it to something which the counter itself hasn't been proven is pointless.
Shall we discuss if unicorns exist while we're at it? I would like for you to prove to me that they don't
Again, I'm not sure why you are attacking me. I'm not arguing. I'm questioning. Sorry I didn't like you're post if that's what you are being aggressive about.
I'm not saying I don't have some money in xspec. I do. Money and time. I like the community. But I don't have any emotion involved in it as a coin. It's just data. I don't have a feeling one way or the other and I didn't invest what I couldn't afford to lose.
I like what Gunner is doing. I think it's important to hold people accountable.
The burden of proof is on the person making the assertion
I'm not making assertions here and you're not contributing anything to my inquiries.
If it can't be proven it shouldn't be asserted. I think Gunner understands that.
Maybe you've had to many people attack you directly because of your post. I'd apologize for the zealots, but that's their job. I don't encourage that. As a result I think that you think my posts are something they aren't and if I wanted to deal with people like you I'd just hop over to 4chan where at least they are witty. So as a courtesy, I'm informing you that I'm going to just communicate with Gunner from this point forth. I hope your day gets better.
@Gunner... yes that's true 15 years is a claim. Mandica is the only person who has met jbg. I wonder how they feel about these claims and jbg's abilities since it was the project lead that brought them on according to them.
If the 1.4 code hadn't had the delay. Would this issue be resolved or would it be resolved with the release of 1.4? Because it's still late. Would that amount of delay still render this situations a "scam?"
I have no way of knowing if he would have fessed up as I've never met the individual. I suppose he could have denied that the jbg you presented to him was him. I'm surprised he didn't honestly.
So you think that 1.4 is NOT going to come out? That's what you're saying?
