usually accs created with coinnames are "new accs" of actualy coin owners.

I have no idea what your source of data there is for that but in this case I can assure you there are all kind of trolls and FUDsters creating accounts with all sorts of names that have nothing to do with Monero.

We've seen the pro-Monero troll strategy before (in July I think) where people create new accounts and post in support of Monero instead of against it. They apparently are trying to do so in such an obnoxious and spamy ay that it causes a backlash against Monero. At least that is my guess, because I don't really know. (As I said, the other highly plausible explanation is mental illness.)

The sad fact is this forum site is so infested with trolls and FUDsters that you really can't believe anything people say unless you know them personally. The rest are best ignored.

+1 I suspect the reverse troll theory is the most plausible especially when BCX was targeted.

No casual Attacker could exploit Monero. We have already seen Monero's developers neatly push a fix to the likely nation state sponsored attempt at corrupting the chain.

This clearly came from sophisticated party with intimate knowledge of the monero internals, not a script kiddie attacker. These trolls Can try and incite attacks towards XMR from Candiates who have previously tried to Damage shitcoins like auroracoin, infinitecoin etcetera but the fact is we are Dealing with a completely different beast here not a simple bitcoin copy - this is a project which has been Developed by crytographers and audited by the likes of gmaxwell and peter Todd. Lame attempts at 51% attacks or "Timewarps" will be futile here so it is a waste of time for anyone to try and lure and attack in.

As long as we choose to support OSS privacy enhancing technology such as Monero and elect to choose GNU/Linux as our primary Desktop operating systems, escaping the Opressive Handcuffs of Microsoft Windows Vista, Apple iOS DRM infested and spyware/malware Ridden bugged OS we will make for extremely hard group to target. It really is a simple case of throwing out our Windows/ Apple Locked down proprietary, corporate controlled and easily attackable via Malware desktops, and replacing with a Free Libre Open Source Operating Software system such as GNU/Linux 64bit or 32bit PAE kernel in conjuction with the Monero Daemon to enable financial freedom and complete privacy for all.
