I don't see why we shouldn't trust busoni's claim when it's true, explain why was it higher value than the other one then?
Because it has jack shit to do with the max coin supply, it is so irrelevant they didnt bother changing it.
hey smart guy.. what if i made
OTHER changes to the code on the next update increasing the money supply ?
the function that is called that contain that max money static variable is used in a lots of places and what would happen first
is if someone tried to send money that is greater than that setting the transaction would fail to go through.
so it would be a NECESSITY to setup a scam !
most of you here prob have no experience coding in 'c' or even looked at the code but are spouting off.
the fact is this could have been a multi-part scam.. as in parts of malicious code are added in phases so not to set off an alarm.
this Altcoin scene is swiss cheese with scammers running wild 24/7.. hell look what god damn coin it was based on
Honor coin of all coins LOLOLOL
I have witnessed coin cloners here update the wallets with scammer code.. i don't want to get into who and what coin etc but trust me i know for a FACT it happens.
You guys need to cut the crap.. most of you know nothing but are repeating 'crap' you *heard.
And the bottom line is do we have proof 100% that something malicious was going on ?
Maybe ? Maybe not.
But it does LOOK fishy.
And if something looks fishy in crypto.. it usually is.
Most of you are gullible and eat up what ever is fed to you and this is just shell account games for control of the lemmings.. the usual Bitcointalk routine.
got a brain ? use it.. or don't not my problem.
Spoetnik, I saw you posted often in JPC thread, that is a coin I like too, and I like some of your good posts there. But why fud here? Why not you just look at the facts?
I showed how the MAX_MONEY is used in the code:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652351.msg7315515#msg7315515and how total coin is calculated:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652351.msg7315840#msg7315840From these facts, the MAX_MONEY etc are irrelevant to the coins the system will generate. What are your concerns? that the dev will sneak in later and increase the coin system generates? You know this will be a hardfork and requires at least 51% network to agree, right? Also if dev can sneak in some new things into the code, isn't it extremely easy for him to change whatever numbers he wants to change?
From what I see, the guy from Poloniex simply made a mistake, as he or someone he asked to review the code have no idea at all what the code means. That who reviewed the code is either never worked on coin code, or a copy-paster who created some scam coins (only simple copied from other coins) before. This is the fact, no deny of it. Very simple.
