I have been advised to just make a post in here and see where the discussion goes before escalating the situation or even attempting to have this thread taken down (which I certainly wouldn't want).
Those damn lawyers, they always do that, advise you to go poke the nest a bit more. Nice veiled threat to have the thread taken down too, good luck with that. The Coinye thread is still up on BCC.
I'm still laughing about the statement "the community got greedy"...oh my god...as if this community was the cause for the downfall of OctoCoin...we bought all the dumps, we spent our hashing power...all we asked for was a little communication...everyone was preparing to invest more and hold...Now we are to blame? NO F-WORD WAY! If a business fails, it's nearly always the fault of the ones running it! And just so you know...my business is running for 12 years now, and I ain't no little script-kiddie. BHolzer you sound pretty arrogant for a 31 year old!
But you are right about the personal threats...that's not acceptable! Whoever did this: stop it!
If it happened its wrong and we've all condemned it but I seriously doubt there were actually any genuine death threats. It's simply a very easy way to divert attention.
At this point unless another person or persons came forward and signed a sworn affidavit with documentary evidence proving that they were behind octocoin then I'm fully satisfied in my own mind that there has only ever been one person behind it and that person is bholzer. I just don't get the denial, it's not as if there will be any consequences in this unregulated space, you tried, you failed, big deal. Be a man, grow up (instead of projecting your immaturity onto others) own up and move on. Unless of course you're concerned there may be some retrospective regulation applied. Now that would be amusing, seeing the man do time for his dishonesty.
Anyway, all of that is irrelevant it's what happens now that matters. Does this community take over the coin and do something with it? do we "grow up" and wait obediently for bholzer to fix it and wait to be let into the inner circle (not an option for me now, i've been too childish) or do we all hand over our octo to bholzer and start a new cult, Octology? Brocktocoin? anyone?
