The top 11 vendors have already been refunded (see
https://t.me/p2p_monero_talk for proof). Only 25k USD got lost since OpenMonero does not have any pre-funding. It is very simple. You cannot avoid hacks but you can minimize the damage with non-custodial trade funding and non-custodial trade settlements. That is exactly how openmoenro works. Between LocalMonero did not have the non-custodial trade funding setup that was developed and open sourced on
https://git.openmonero.coThe non-custodial trade funding allows to receive a trade request without having to pre-lock the full trading amount. It a trustless trading experience.
The OpenMonero project is still going strong and holding up pretty well against the baseless claims coming from some so-called "trusted" community members. I've noticed a few of these trusted folks on BitcoinTalk spreading misleading info, like accusations of plagiarism and exit scams. I've been open and transparent about the hack and those plagiarism claims from the start. Even with all the flags on my account, do you really think that changes anything? These accusations are completely unfounded and lack any real proof. Honestly, you can't damage my reputation because I’m all about transparency, and my vendors keep praising the support I provide.
I have no interest in exit scams. If I did, I'd be asking for pre-funding for every published offer, which I’m not. I’m also not trying to create a monopoly. If I was, I wouldn’t have open-sourced both the frontend and backend, and I've given proper credit to LocalMonero on the official site. Yet, you keep spreading false claims about a legit, independent community project. Without solid proof, your accusations mean nothing. Nobody cares about your gut feelings.
My aim is to raise awareness and teach folks that decentralized exchanges aren’t automatically more secure than regular server-based platforms. In some cases, like Haveno, they can even be more dangerous because of pre-funding and rug puller bots. More here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5533743.msg65114988#msg65114988I went to read your thread before I decided whether to support or deny your
scam TAG but you deleted your thread and that is what scammers do.
I decided not to waste any more of my time on it, actions speak louder than words and from what I have seen, your actions speak volumes.
I don't see a thread on this supposed hack with supporting evidence and you deleting threads is a immediate
RED FLAG in my eyes.
SCAMMERS cover up and try to hide their actions so whether
you pulled an exit scam or not no longer matters in my mind.
Your actions of covering up, not being transparent as you claim to be and instead attack another project just proves to me
your a scammer.
It's obvious why you are trying to point out how a competing service which removes your ability to scam people with a centralized service that miraculously gets hacked rather than spending that effort trying to mitigate the holes in a decentralized solution Speaks Volumes.
You could have just as easily forked a decentralized solution but you chose a centralized one and that also speaks volumes.Maybe your tactics work on the weak minded but your barking up the wrong tree if you think it's going to work on us.
We have seen it all and You are as transparent to us as you think you are slick.
