Re: CoinsSource influenced by SDC pump'n'dump group! Evidence inside.
LOL, next!
At best that might defend his XST article but doesn't refute the rest of my post.
What other articles has he written?. You can't pull select articles from a journalist and say hes a hired shrill just because he follows someone on twitter.
He written about numerous other coins in favorable light, does that means hes paid from those coins as well?
Are you a moron? All the other 3 articles relating to this pump 'n' dump group agenda are ALL written by him. He hasn't written many more on coinssource from what I can find. AND he follows a "random" cryptotrader who just happens to be in a pump 'n' dump group. Give me a break.
AND the entirety of one article is dedicated to defending these trolls.
Its really simple. Don't take/allow premine, don't hold/condone an ITO, don't do shady deals with people behind closed doors, with questionable people when you are in control of peoples money. And don't cite old white papers stating that its possible to implement something when clearly it isn't. And you wont get backlash!
For you, i would say get over all this, its done, its over. Do your research and stop attacking the people who are trying to keep questionable people in this industry honest, you will fail every time!
why did CoinsSource organise a Q&A with Dan Metcalf to address the incorrect assertions in the article if it was "honest"? I think they realise they dropped the ball on that one and trying to set record straight.
And FYI I've invested in blocknet. I could get a refund if I want but will 100% not be pursuing one.
Thats great focus on your project and stop trying to draw lines to things when you will most likely never know the answer to it all!
Thing is no one in this op is asking for peoples money!
That's what I'm doing, focusing on my project. The Blocknet has suffered because of your smear campaign. This so-called journalist is part of this smear campaign. I'm just returning the favor.
Why is it my smear campaign? All i did was make a thread and ask 8 questions. They got answered and that was it, i was done. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=841958.0
I'm just becoming this scapegoat as is SDC when it has nothing to do with either.
You asking these questions and that is admirable and i encourage you to ask relevant questions of people who control peoples money! I think you are barking up the wrong tree here, trying to discredit some people who are asking these questions about blocknet to some how negate the 30+ threads started on this topic because you cant blame them all at once!
I'm not asking for peoples money. Blocknet does not make me insecure in the slightest. Its a good idea but its not very trustworthy given the rush of it and the workload dan has already and the coins involved in its initial offering. It was a failed attempt to push all of those markets up with the alure of them getting a 10% discount by using them to buy tokens. I belive that model to begin with was poorly thought through and to me it showed bias.
Thats what i saw when i looked deep into it all. It is why i wanted nothing to do with it, because i knew something like this was quite likely to happen at some stage. Being that it was only a matter of time before someone started asking the same questions!
I don't have to explain myself at all but i am because you need to understand something here. I'm here for the ideals of this space. I'm very vocal and i use this account to say whatever i like i dont have multiple accounts like some. I try never to come without proof of something, i don't play guess work, i just lay the facts out.
Not many like it, i'm abrasive at times and i have poor typing skills but i am in no way responsible for peoples money and i am in no way what you and so many before you are trying to paint me as.. I'm just becoming everybody scapegoat, which i completely experted and deal with. As i said, i believe you are barking up the wrong tree here.
When I said "Your" smear campaign I was referring to the collective you - as in the SDC trolls as a group. So calm down, I'm not putting it all on you (singular)!
If you're not part of this group and your intentions were honest then I apologize. I really can't be arsed reading through your post history. But when you have an avalanche of SDC trolls spreading fud its impossible to sort the shills from the honest ones. Maybe you should look at yourself and your 'abrasive' nature. Maybe that's why people catergorize you in the same group of trolls.
But anyway I digress. The purpose of this is to try and get a response from CoinsSource so they can address the fact they have an unethical journalist abusing their position by writing such biased and unbalanced shit. I have tried contacting them directly but no response. Maybe their name on a public forum will get one.
You are using sdc and me and a few other people as a scapegoat and are fosusing it all on us when you cannot deny its far more then just a few people.
SDC the project is solely focused on itself, its just released a team testnet, testing phase for zero knowledge they don't have time for this crap. Again, i believe you are bunching all this up and trying to point a finger in some hope it negates you problems you may well have at your projects feet. Starting more of these threads and going around with the claims you and some others have will not help that cause at all.
I know you want some sort of gratification but you wont find here, and certainly not with this claim!
I agree with the aim and point that journos are impossibly unethical at times. Thats something that has been around much longer then bitcoin as you well know. Their payment model is not geared to motivate ethical standards and the pay prolly does not justify the time going through all the treads, as you put it "i cant be arsed" so i'm sure you can understand them if you think of it like that.
But by using my name and others to do that by dragging us through the mud is going to bite you in the ass and your cause!
I am avbrasive at times, i deal with a lot of people on a daily basis. I'm always saying the things people are thinking and most don't like to hear. I make no apology for my loud voice and my abrasiveness to idiots. I'm richeious and have the right intent. I am who i am, no one else, i'm not faking it.
I will not change because people are not quite capable of categorizing things into abstract baskets instead of the same old black and white crap. Do your homework and spend more time collecting evidence because "not being arsed" will bite you in the arse every time especially when you attack peoples name!
