First off mate I didn't start that thread. It usually helps if you look at the first page, then skip to the end.

For the record, I did not seek out Monero on any level or at any time.  I have been bombarded by trolls trying to drag me into this since early July. Honestly I have been way too busy running my pools which have grown over the past two years to the point it requires not just one but three full timers to manage it around the clock, so I don't have time for this tripe let alone the desire.

Back in July after posting about one of several exploits I found and tested in CN the trolls came out in force and starting with this thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=709197.0 I responded with the quote at the bottom of this post and it is still pretty much true with the following added.

* After being annoyed constantly by the idiot "Moneroman88" thinking he was a part of the XMR Team, I did indeed in a moment of being pissed off send him a couple of PM's. After reading many of the PM's he has blasted me with I have come to the conclusion he really believes what he post and is mental. I am being very serious, so now I just have him on ignore and over look him.

* After conversing with rpietilla I do not think he hired any trolls or is a scammer per say. I do think he has gotten himself into something he didn't expect and is simply trying to build a coin.

* I have found very specific exploits in CN that have not been fixed that would be successful on XMR. Most are what I call annoyance attacks, that would be fixed and the coin would probably survive, but one is a coin killer. In XMR there exist a flaw involving the keyrings that under the right conditions will allow an attacker to steal your wallets and hijack your addresses. To fix this, anonymity will need to be sacrificed. These exploits are why two top exchanges who have asked for my opinion have not added XMR.

*I could indeed exploit this coin if I wanted but I have no need or desire. Others will find exploits and others *will* exploit it. It's just the nature of the beast.

*I hold only a few XMR from mining it in July while researching it. Personally I think this coin is going to be like a lot of other coins that have spiked and died. I do believe there is the ability to make short term huge profits though. I do not think there is any long term future for this coin. If I were mining this coin, due to its potential for exploitation, I would mine and sell. (admittedly, an opinion on the future of XMR)

* If I were rpietila or smooth I would make a thread publicly and harshly disavowing all trolls, post only in your official thread ignoring all others and self moderate the hell out of it. If you continue to engage and feed them outside of your controlled thread, they will only grow.

** Pay Attention Here **
*I have no intentions to attack or dedicate any resources to XMR. If anything DGC will be the next to get my full intention depending on what happens with their founder. This does not mean others will not exploit XMR especially given the attention all the troll hype has brought on this coin.



I hope this concludes the "BCX Boogieman Scare"
