Have the developers been able to account for the increased hashrate to be sure the increase isn't controlled by BCX?

Afaics conceptually, the decentralized checkpoints would not prevent BCX from stealing wallets if he had an attack on the private keys of the genre I was exploring upthread. If he can take over the chain from a checkpoint forward, the he can see transactions before they are added to the chain, thus if the private key could be cracked, he could double spend the transaction, discarding the original transaction and putting one on the block which pays to himself.

Upthread we never showed a way to crack the private keys. All I showed was an idea of how to potentially identify which public key in the ring is the sender in some cases. And from that, I noted it makes some more simultaneous equations available for the private key. Whether those simultaneous equations can be solved faster than factoring a public key is not known to me. If someone knows, afaics they haven't told us in this thread.

If it is difficult to speculate about BCX's motivations. It seems he is either bluffing to save his reputation, or perhaps he is attempting to instill some humility in the altcoin space. I dunno.

P.S. If I don't reply, it doesn't mean I am ignoring. I may have not come back to read yet.

I'm just sick to death of cunts like you who seemingly have no problem with fucking around with the investments of innocents.

So I'm washing my hands with it and leaving it up to the law. As far as I know the police are also in contact with Poloniex and exchanging data.

So goodbye and a big fuck you.

Hey take your fully insured fiat with training wheels which the government will be soon shoving up your bankrupted a$$.

Technological attacks are fair play and it is the only way we can be sure crypto-currency is robust and resilient.

There was no prospectus guaranteeing your investments. If the technology allows your digital units to be transferred, it is your responsibility to know that and not invest if you don't like the risk.

Once you ask the government to regulate crypto-currency, then the entire point of crypto-currency is lost. So this space is not for you. Go back to fiat.

You fucking nut, I'm sicking of reading you in silence for all these weeks.

Its because of you he is running with the history for this long, he even named his fake attack with your name a pages back

Good cop / Bad cop as proposed by someone before

Didn't you take enough bitcoin from the people for nothing? Fuck Off here already

He cant do anything with Private keys: http://lab.monero.cc/pubs/multiple_equations_attack.pdf

Now Shut up.
