the whitepaper for XSPEC also has a few grammar issues which i couldnt find in XSPC's white paper.
FYI Mixins and mixin should be Mixing's and mixing.
it looks bad on the 2016 spectre to see them trying to discredit a project that's built with the goals to help other cryptos and create a standard on what coins should have and help those coins using that community.
FYI as well, smart ass, a
mixin is term for a 'dummy' anonymous transaction output used in a ring signature and is not the same as the word 'mixing' and
mixins is the plural of mixin. Think of it as a mix-in, something that you mix in with something else.
i cant find many online resources to back up the claim that mixin is a word. mix-in would be grammatically correct
Mixin is a class for object orientated programming languages reference:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixinand there is 0 dictionary's that contain mixin as a word. with that meaning not even urban.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mixin&utm_source=search-actionYou must be pretty dumb, Blobboy, a mixin is just a made up noun, like Blobboy is not in the dictionary, just a name for something. Monero started using it (
https://www.monero.honerw/moo-glossary#privacy-level) and as they have the same mechanism as Monero for adding mixins they use the same term.
...and you wanna talk about grammar as this is highly relevant to the coin being discussed in this thread;
So, you, Blobboy, say it should be Mixing's - You use an apostrophe to show that a thing or person belongs or relates to someone or something. What is the thing that belong to your Mixing? Oh, and isn't ..ing ending in your mixing a verb tense? So, how does something belong to a verb?
Let's make this into a grammar discussion, that's a lot of fun!
so in that case i guess monero should moan that spectre is using a technology they created. then label that coin as a scam cause it has similar features lol also if mixin is a noun then it should have a capital M. grammar is more important in business documents rather than forums a professional document should be professional.if they are using a word from a form of technology that monero uses then that should be referenced at the bottom of the document as not every investor will know the meaning of the word mixin

More like MR BLOBBY...!!!
Mr Blobby first appeared in 1992 in the 'Gotcha' segment of the second series of Noel's House Party, in which celebrities were caught out in a Candid Camera style prank. Mr Blobby was presented to the celebrities as if he were a real and established children's television character, in order to record an episode centred around the guests' profession. In truth, there was no "Mr. Blobby" TV series, and he was created purely for the prank. Mr Blobby would clumsily take part in the activity, knocking over the set, causing mayhem, and saying "blobby blobby blobby." His childish and unprofessional behaviour was calculated to irritate the celebrities taking part. When the prank was finally revealed the Blobby costume would be opened, revealing Noel Edmonds inside.
You are a PRANK...!!
i am not quite sure how analysing someones online alias in such a way is related to this topic. but the alias didnt derive from the tv series mr blobby
all im saying here is it looks like a group effort from another coin to discredit in malicious way to deter people from what could be a legitimate project. this is neither professional or good for the coin making the accusations.
their are literally hundreds of coins on the market with similar names. but this is the first time ive seen one go out of there way to discredit a project before its even launched lol.
if you take a look at the screen names when you hover over the team. youll find the first one is digiwarfare. after some internet research youll find this guy has quite the resume for security based applications. on his linked in his last job was Malware Research Labs and Sandboxing. his github has various software tools for network stress testing and honeypots. which is a security based background
Second on that list is .Lex (Lexicon) who has a large background in crypto. used to develop for burst-coin he made smart contracts, pools and a wallet amongst helping out various other coins. including being involved in a team to identify an issue with a version of PoS. he also identified an exploit in burstcoins system that basically caused the entire network to fork when it was saturated with transactions. causing pools, casinos and various other services to double spend.
looking through bitcoin talk XSPEC also had a scam report which is worth looking at here
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3055715.msg33778251#msg33778251on the first page you can clearly see this comment "Now putting that aside, let's look at what xspec actually is:
It's a complete mirror copy of Shadow Cash and the Umbra wallet, they've changed some colours and the logo/name from the Umbra source code, picture below gives an idea!
so basically XSPEC Ripped off another coin called Umbra which when applied to the accusations is pretty funny.
i even look at the guys profile rep in one place he says he is lead promoter and in another he says he is founder. Read their blog, they are broke, had to fork, and admitted to no funds to develop.
this is all ive gained from doing some research
