Quote from: Libertycoin on May 27, 2014, 10:06:33 PM

[Draft]
Official Statement regarding the event occurred today and the future of Libertycoin

What happened?
This morning (CST), one of our members changed the password of the Bitcointalk account. A few hours after that, we got a message from Iconic Expert threatening to fork Libertycoin and start a new thread because we had changed the password. Obviously, that sounded nuts. After that, he joined the IRC channel where I (Templar77) already had been for a few hours. He said he was trying to work for Libertycoin but I was always in his way. I asked him what was the problem, but he never answered that. I even told him that I still wanted to collaborate with him, but he said he was done with Libertycoin and he left.
After that, the price plumbed to from 12k satoshi to 5k satoshi.

How Iconic Expert got involved in Libertycoin
We gave him access to the Bitcointalk account almost a week ago. His task was to promote Libertycoin. When we received him we were not well informed of what he had done in the Blackcoin community.
All the week when he was involved our thread was flooded with attacks against him. In the beginning, we didnt give much importance to those posts for we thought it was coming from trolls, but days passed and the attacks against him never stopped, so we decided to investigate more about him.

Iconic Expert
Christopher Bouzy, aka Iconic Expert, received Blackcoin donations to make an event in Wall Street, but then he cancelled it and never gave back the money to the people. Basically, he said he was leaving Blackcoin and launching his own coin, but never returned the money.
We have confirmed so far that he uses other proxy accounts, like Barabbas, to post in Bitcointalk and Twitter.

The price fall
So what has changed in Libertycoin? Nothing, Libertycoin is the same coin that was yesterday, and the day before, so there is really no reason for a reduction in the price. Libertycoin is now stronger because we got rid of a known scammer.
We obviously do not have all the answers for what caused the price fall, but we can say it is very likely that Iconic Expert dumping all his coins and all the FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) he caused with his proxy accounts.
Iconic Expert bough in probably around 1,000 2,000 satoshi so he probably had a big amount of coins.

Anonymity
Libertycoin Anonymity Development (past)
As you might now, we offered a bounty of 7 BTC and 30,000 XLB to implement any kind of anonymity in the Libertycoin protocol. Almost a week ago, Tranzium and others started developing it. A standalone version was set up here: http://cosmiclottery.com/libertycoin/
Around two days ago, we received an email from the team working on that implementation saying they could not finish the work because they were struggling to implement it into the wallet/daemon, so we keep waiting for them and finish it while finding someone else to do the job.
Libertycoin Anonymity Development (today)
Today Polzki contacted us with a possible solution. He says he knows the CEO of a programming company in China, so they can help us develop a new and innovative anonymity function for the Libertycoin protocol.
The website of the company: http://www.synv.com/
At 1:50 pm (China) he will be talking to the CEO of the company.
The CEO is his friend so he might make us a huge discount for it, but we will also support him with the bounty we raised if it is needed.
They will use Tranzium's code, so they won't start from zero.

The development team
From now, loljosh, Polzki and I (Templar77) will have predominant roll in the development of this coin.
I personally dont have anything to hide; I say this because Iconic Expert things he can attack me publishing my personal information.
My personal Information is easily acquired because I as I mentioned I have nothing to hide. My name is Carlos from Mexico and I am a Economics and Political Science student but I am also a self-taught person in programming. Its just information that you can easily google.

Proof-of-ownership
I own 312,000 Libertycoins which I bought with my own money in various moments, some of them even when XLB was trading at 600 satoshi. I have moved 300,000 coins to the address below:
LZ2suWZw4RoCVT4amdUJRzu4pLawnfQEjR
I show you that so you know how much I believe in this coin. Im not planning to dump any time soon. Ill keep the coins in that address, and I dont plan to move them for Im a terrible trader.

Scam accusations
In recent days, a thread was made saying Libertycoin is a scam coin, but that, of couse, lacks of any logic or fundament.
-Libertycoin was pre-announced almost two days it was launched, so it was not ninja-launched.
-Libertycoin didnt have a single premined block.
-Libertycoin was mined for four days.
-The network reached almost 80 Gh/s which means thousands of miners when mining.

I own a miner with 200 Kh/s so if I own Libertycoin is because I bought them. I have the right to buy any coin I want and make use of it in any way. I this case I invested in Libertycoin because I believe in it as a long term investment. I have provided you my address, so you can monitor it if you like.

The future
As I mentioned above I believe in Libertycoin as a long term investment, for that reason I have the following projects planned.
Liberty Labs
In a couple of days, I will be registering my startup that will be dedicated to create and offer services for Libertycoin and Bitcoin, especially in Latin America.
Liberator operation
I am planning to set up ATMs in Mexico City using the machines from http://projectskyhook.com . This ATMs will work both for Bitcoin and Libertycoin. This operation should bring a lot of attention from the media for these will first ATMs in Mexico City, and Libertycoin will be one of the few altcoins that have this kind of infrastructure.
In the future, I could deploy more ATMs in other countries such as Panama and Argentina.
Exchange
The other thing Ive been working for months, is to create a Bitcoin/FIAT exchange for Mexico. I have got all the legal stuff done but the platform is still under developments and should be launching in less than 3 months. Im planning to add Libertycoin to this project as well.

My vision of cryptocurrency and Libertycoin
Many people may have problems with my ideology/vision of cryptocurrencies. I describe myself as a Libertarian and maybe a crypto anarchist. I believe in total decentralization, so I usually struggle with the concept of dev tem taking care of absolutely everything in a coin.
I hate when people blame the dev team for a given price in the market. Its not the job of a dev to care about the price. If the price falls is not our fault or our job to make it rise. Thats just pump and dump coins behavior. I cannot type sudo apt-get price $1 and make the price rise. Its a free market. If you want a coins price to rise you have to work for it and not just depend on the dev team.

Many people struggle with idea:
I do not thing that what people call innovation is needed for a coin to succeed. It only needs hard work, a good name, time and a good community.
Litecoin is the proof of that. It is just a copy of Tenebrix and Fairbrix with no innovations at all and yet it stands as the second biggest cryptocurrency.
We can say the same for Dogecoin, Zetacoin, Feathercoin, and many others.
Even Blackcoin is just a copy of Novacoin with just simple tweaks. It provides no innovation at all.
Darkcoin is another good example, it was not the first anonymous coin and they dont even delivered what they promised: a decentralized anon feature. Its totally centralized.
In my opinion, name is king. With a name like Libertycoin we should be able to have more success than coins like Darkcoin. Real life businesses will never say Darkcoin acceted here. They will rather prefer more friendly names.
We will implement anonymity because the community asked for it, but I dont believe its primordial for Libertycoin to succed.

I got positive answer from CEO to help out with the problem in wallet integration.

We will start working today with Tranzium's code.. just need to confirm few things when he comes online
becouse of possible mistakes if not. We need to confirm few certain details in the code but after that everything is cool and work starts
as planned before in IRC

June 1.st 21:00PM (CST) is estimated time to get ANON integrated to the wallet & ONLINE.

Will keep you guys updated daily when progress happens.

Liberty for all ! Stay strong community !

Hello again so i hired my coder like i SAID and we did a bit work allready too..
but work is stuck now becouse of some trouble with the bounties.

The reason bounty is a problem now is that i need the code for mixer from Tranzium but he wants his bounty first which
i understand becouse he has work done allready.. so now im waiting with my Hired guy who i paid 1500~$ to
just chill now unfortunately.. .

Hopefully this will resolve soon.. i dont want to delay.. not even with one day personally
with my partner .

I have messaged Main Dev. Carlos who is responsible about the bountys

I will tweet & post on forums if delay unfortunately happens but we are still on schedule.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Im planning to modify Tranziums mixer-code to make a node network which would work by allowing the wallet user to easily acces it in the options to make his/hers wallet a node.

Benefits with this compared with single anon server are:

True ANON. Instead of an Honeypot.
Better security when network is around the globe and not centralized into one.
POS-would be deleted from normal wallets = Less generating XLB = Higher Price
and increase the POS rate by 0.008% by every 10K XLB hold in wallet = Even Less XLB in markets
= Higher price becouse of scarity.

Penalties when wanting to be anymous themselves & send/receive while stopping the process of being a node would be:
You have to wait 8 hours for coin to mature first before you can become a node..after that when wanting to send/receive XLB & be anymous 8 hour maturing will start again...

This is just the start if we can resolve the bounty issues im interested into adding some more
unique features alone or with my friends.

What do you think about this True-Anon & these Value rising properties ?
Im very interested to hear from the community about your point of view .

Well i offered to make Integration with the wallet & Mixer so like you know..
Im still waiting for the mixer and thats the reason why my guy doesnt really have work right now
its essential that the code for mixing coins is bought by Carlos via Bounty.

Even when i get the code for mixing coins i have to modify it to make the network truly anymous
instead of Single-Server Honeypot.

I can do this all still as deadline on the: 1.st. Hopefully it doesnt longer than anticipated to get the
waited mixing code & start work.... One day delay will be real unfortunately if i dont get them before 21:00 EEST.

I have been awake too long now for .. almost 4 days.. hopefully someone
appreciates what we are trying to do ! .

My partner will continue when any news come up ...

Main Dev. is figuring things out now !

This coin has a huge potential. With the right people working, it may be the next big thing in crypto.

Agreed! Show your support!

XLB to the moooon!
