Gold mining also raised socialist-warmonger ambitions: it was forbidden in the U.S. during WWII, because it was seen as waste of resources. (I would have argued that the war was the waste of resources, not gold mining, but nobody asked my opinion..)
World War II was a waste?
On topic:
In that thread where that guy revealed that CN and Bytecoin were at the very least supporting each others lies, the CN/BCN shill accounts have come crawling out of the woodwork. There's a few of them registered with in a few minutes of each other as well, it's quite funny.
CryptoNote is now claiming that their website was hacked and someone placed fake whitepapers on it! Hilarious..
You Monero folks have to be extra careful about that code base imo. These CN people are absolutely nuts.
We're way ahead of you
Unlike the others, Monero is a completely clean slate and has no relationship whatsoever with the bytecoin/cryptonote scammers, despite their apparent effort to saturate the market with their own pump-and-dump clones.
I will say that given the degree of fraud and deceit uncovered, it is reasonable to be cautious about the possibilities of back doors in the code. We have reviewed a lot and continuing to review everything very, very carefully. Nevertheless it is somewhat new code from a source that is not only untrusted but now reasonably distrusted. Caution is advised.
