We all know what happens now. The team have their exit. They’re going to fade into further irrelevancy and hope everyone just forgets all about the huge amounts of fraud this team has engaged in.

Call me cynical, but I’ve called it for years— the team is going orchestrate an exit. They’re using Dave’s death to do so. Btw, go search Google. Try to find anything whatsoever about Dave’s death. There’s nothing whatsoever. Hate to be that asshole, but the team has a long history of lies. The whole project was a lie from its inception. They’ve given us plenty of good reason to be skeptical.

Again, I hate to be that way, and if Dave really passed away, everyone has my condolences. I would never wish death on anyone under any circumstances. But, this team has not earned any trust at all over the years from me.

Glad the team could address my concerns and answer my questions... never change 🙄

Gandhi never said that.

It’s been 273 days since the provisional patents were applied for. There has not been any real update since. Will xtrabytes be able to meet the deadline and submit for the full patents with the allotted timeframe of one year?

In a blog post by CCR: https://www.reddit.com/r/XtraBYtes/comments/fri1kg/xtrabytes_roadmap_q2_2020/ CCR says the team will start engaging with the community more. He mentions Xtrabytes hosting 2 livestreams every Tuesdays and another 2 on Thursdays. I must have missed the announcements for these livestreams. There’s a couple I’ve seen. Can someone please provide a link to the recordings of these livestreams taking place every Tuesday and Thursday? Additionally, the team has gone completely radio silent, save for a few small updates here and there. They have not been more engaged with the community like CCR said they would be.

The documentary was scheduled to be released in April 2020. It was pushed back to May, then June, then July. It is now one week shy of October. The team has not mentioned the documentary recently. The last mention of it was July 20, 2020 where it was also said that the team would be featured on a show hosted by Laurence Fishburne. The team was rather disingenuous with this information, as they actually paid to be on the show, which they did not mention until being questioned. Anyways, what happened to it?

The team hired Jasper Benson. Jasper is mostly known for his role in multiple Ponzi schemes/MLMs and crypto scams such as Capricorn, which CCR shilled heavily in the early days. What has happened with that? Jesper is no longer mentioned on the website.

Thank you.

XFuel is an ‘internal development token’ that the team created ‘out of thin air’ and used as a means of payment for work that was completed. The team promised there would be transparency into the distribution of XFuel, but nothing has come of it. The truth is that we do not know exactly how freely XFuel was distributed, nor do we know how much XFuel each team member holds. Ashley had said that Dave and Borz pay themselves 1 million coins each every 2 weeks, but who knows how much truth there is to that.

Point being, did the team really ‘pay’ thousands of dollars? No, not really. Imagine if any time you needed money, you had the ability to just create some out of thin air. That’s what they did. Is it thousands of dollars? That’s determined by the market. But did they really work for it or did they just ‘wave a wand’ and make it so? We don’t know. There are so many questions surrounding XFuel and its distribution— questions which were promised to be answered, which years later now have not been addressed.

Either way, of course the team paid for it. They need it to be listed on an exchange so that they can sell their stake. I’d imagine most team members have a hefty supply built up that they want to unload on the market in order to get some fiat. It’s in their best interest to get XFuel listed, no matter the cost to do so.

I’d say the difference between saying ~200,000 might have seen something and saying that 84 million people might have seen something isn’t exactly ‘splitting hairs’. The issue I have with the statement is the same issue I’ve talked about in depth in the past and my biggest issue with the team - their words are often disingenuous, and that’s at best.

Point being, Why lie? The act of being on tv is cool and an accomplishment in and of itself. Why would you then go lie?

I’m curious why Xtrabytes left out the fact that Jesper Bentzen was part of the Capricorn scam. Listed as a consultant in their whitepaper. Capricoin is the MLM scam coin that Dave was promoting on YouTube right before Xtrabytes started...

https://www.01cryptohouse.com/capricoin/whitepaper.pdf

I’m just going by Dave’s words, which were, and I quote, “As you know, the Commercial has already aired on Fox Business Network during prime time on two occasions to a potential audience of 84 million homes.“

Even if that were taken to be the total potential viewers for the 2 commercials, it would still imply 42 million viewers each time.

Yes, they had to have paid. Below is the response from CPB (who owns PBS), regarding the show:

Behind the Scenes with Laurence Fishburne

Hello,

I'm contacting CPB to ascertain whether you have ever heard of or aired educational programming entitled "Behind the Scenes with Laurence Fishburne," https://behindthesceneslf.com. I'm asking because we're a small business designing innovative public infrastructure, and we've been contacted by this company (BSLF) and asked to film a segment about our products. They tell us that Public Television airs these segments from time to time. It all sounds legitimate, but they want a lot of money from us up front for production costs, and we want to ensure that they are a legitimate entity before we engage with them -- or send them money.

Can you please tell me if you've heard of this company and if CPB has aired any of their programming?

Thank you, Susan Altenbach President DezignLine Susan@DezignLine.com 612-850-0760

Note from CPB: Thank you for contacting the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB). CPB, PBS, and NPR are independent of each other and of the local public television and radio stations across the country. CPB does not produce or distribute programming and each local public broadcasting station makes its own programming choices, as CPB is prohibited from interfering with editorial decisions related to programming on local public television and radio stations. After contacting PBS and NETA, it was determined that Behind the Scenes with Laurence Fishburne is not distributed by or associated with either national public media distributer. Further, public media stations do not engage in commercial advertising for private entities and the Federal Communications Commission regulates the nature and scope of underwriting for noncommercial educational licensees.

Additionally, Dave wrote that the Xtrabytes commercial on Fox Biz was broadcast to potentially 84 MILLION viewers. While, yes, the channel does reach 84 million viewers (meaning they have the ABILITY) to watch the channel, the average number of viewers for the time slot the commercial was shown is a little over 200,000. Yes, that’s THOUSAND. Source: https://www.thewrap.com/fox-business-network-lou-dobbs-marks-ratings-win-cnbc/

I’m curious, as no one from the team has answered my questions:

- What does Xtrabytes expect people to do after seeing these ads? Xtrabytes is on two small exchanges, one of which is a DEx. Is Xtrabytes expecting the normal, every day non-crypto user who has never even bought from Coinbase to navigate through the Waves DEx or Crex24 to not only purchase XBY, but to also create a wallet and move their coins from the exchange to the wallet?

- What are these people supposed to do if they do manage to get the desired endpoint of purchasing XBY or XFuel? There’s barely any liquidity on either exchange period, much less for XBY and XFuel. Additionally, the remaining supply of XBY is extremely low.

- What’s the incentive here? *Why* would they go through all the trouble? This is not a shot at the team. It’s just facts. XBY is a small and relatively unknown project. Nearly everyone knows what Bitcoin is. A smaller, but still large number of people know what Ethereum is. The numbers go down at an increasingly high rate in regard to Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Ripple, etc. Outside of the top 10 coins, only a very small, minute fraction of people know any of the coins outside the top 10 even exist. Why would someone who has [likely] never purchased cryptocurrency before go to all the trouble? If they were going to buy crypto - which they likely would already have done by now if they truly *wanted* to invest in crypto. I would imagine they’re much more likely to sign up with Coinbase and buy Bitcoin than to really dive into the crypto space. I know many people who have done just that. They have never ventured outside of Coinbase and never bought anything other than Bitcoin and/or Ethereum. It seems highly unlikely they would do so. Even more unlikely - literally 0% chance in my own experience - that these people would learn about wallets, exchanges, dexs, deposits and withdrawals, etc., *especially* to buy an unknown project’s token.

- Xtrabytes has stated their main goal is corporate adoption, yet also state - even in these comments - that these ads should drive the price of XBY & XFuel up. Corporations don’t want the price to increase. That just means they’d have to spend more to purchase the token and use the Xtrabytes blockchain. Wanting the coin price to rise and wanting to gain enterprise-level clients are two things that don’t go together. They can’t both happen. Look at VeChain. All they’re doing and all the was promised, and the token price has done nothing. Billions of VET/VTHO burned and yet, nothing. As we’ve seen a few times in this space, projects typically offer steep discounts to corporations anyway. So, I don’t see how these ads will be a net positive in that regard.

- To further the second and third points, corporations would needs **millions** - if not **billions** - of tokens that are always readily available to purchase and with no possibility of those tokens running out any time in the foreseeable future. To effectively run an enterprise-level company’s operations, the amount of tokens used on a constant and consistent basis would be an extraordinarily high number. How will the corporations obtain these tokens? How will they obtain tokens in the future? What about when the supply inevitably runs out? Why would they move to a blockchain that they will only be able to use for a relatively short and indeterminate amount of time? Corporate decision-making, especially purchasing and acquisition, doesn’t work in favor of XBY’s strategy here. The long-term benefit to the company and the incentives necessary to facilitate a switch just aren’t there.

- What we’ve seen so far in this space is corporations using their own permissioned databases. It’s not trustless and it’s not true blockchain, but corporations don’t care about that. They care about the bottom line. There are also huge tech companies such as Oracle and IBM dominating the corporate blockchain space currently. Microsoft, as well as Amazon and Google, have their own blockchains as well. All these companies also offer vast amounts of cloud storage, which Xtrabytes has said since the beginning is one of the key focuses of the project. How does Xtrabytes plan to compete with corporations with the size, reach, and every other possible advantage that companies like Oracle, IBM, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google possess over Xtrabytes?

Xtrabytes team,

Recently, an extremely avid Xtrabytes supporter, user DJC-1973 (aka doucie1 by his own admission) decided they wanted to not only doxx me, but to also accuse me of being a drug addict, as well as tagged both my employer and my boss in a tweet. This is just the latest in a series of events in which this person has doxxed someone.

DJC was permabanned from Reddit some time ago for doxxing me, as well as Sabih in a Reddit thread - a thread in which he also blatantly admits to doxxing us and not caring about doing so. DJC has doxxed us across 4chan/warosu, Bitcointalk, Reddit, Twitter, and who knows where else.

The reason I am writing this is that despite all these instances, you have yet to condone his actions. While I firmly believe DJC is a team member, it is irrelevant. However, the fact that he is such an avid supporter, often releasing information for the project rather than a team member doing so, shows that he is clearly close to the team in some way shape or form. The fact that that you have not come out to condone his actions and separate yourselves from this low-life is incomprehensible. The unwillingness to distance yourself from this person is made even more questionable due to the fact that despite DJC often restoring to these types of measures, the Xtrabytes team does not ever delete his posts nor have you blocked this user, yet you do delete and block whomever you claim is spreading ‘FUD’. I’m not here to FUD and I don’t want to get into it with y’all. Y’all know how I feel about the project and team and I know how y’all feel about me. It’s besides the point.

At the end of the day, Xtrabytes is a blockchain project and XBY a cryptocurrency. It is not life or death here. It’s just not. It’s a hobby, passion, job/career for some and an investment for others, etc. We are all certainly passionate and persistent, if nothing else lol (Hey, I’m trying here, ok?). I can own up to the fact that I can be and have been extremely vocal in expressing my discontent, and I will admit that I can, at times, be a dick. I’ll wholeheartedly cop to that right now. It’s crypto. It’s CRYPTO... and you, DJC, you feel the need to reveal people’s personal information, say the things you say, and, in the most sleezy, shitty thing you’ve done to date, you are threatening my livelihood and my families livelihood - via threatening my employment - by tagging my employer AND my boss in a tweet in which you also call me a druggie... that is just absurd when you take a step back and actually consider what this all is. And to take it a step further, you followed my boss on Twitter. Wtf man?!

This isn’t the first time anyone close to the team has done something like this either. Nick Tsili acted in a very similar way when he made a fake profile of me, called me a druggie in the bio, and made inappropriate comments and tweeted at my company... I mean wtf?!

Am I innocent in this? No. Of course not. But these behaviors are miles past anything I’ve ever even come close to doing. It is honestly downright lunacy. I have a family to support. I have a kid. Attempting to seriously impact my life and my family’s life over all this is such abhorrent and reprehensible behavior, and shows a completely callous disregard for a person’s life.

It’s just not right. To act like this and do these things is just fucked up. There’s no other words for it. - BTW DJC, I’m actually 20 months sober as of Tuesday, March 11 for whatever it may be worth. I am not going to go into my life or explaining myself other than saying that people go through some shit sometimes; many times, we do things that we shouldn’t - and we know we shouldn’t - as a way to cope with what we’re going through. Very rarely are those things positive or good for our lives. It is most often the exact opposite of that. What matters is that we persevere, weather the storm, and come out on the better side of things. Sometimes, we have to go to a shitty place to get to a better one. There’s many things I’ve done that I’m not proud of, but I am proud of who I have become as a result of those things. I will always be an addict. I know that. But, I am currently not using any substances and have not used any substances for 20 months. It’s about progress, not perfection, and I’m progressing every day.

I didn’t intend to write thing long of a post. So, I will make my point and wrap this up. Xtrabytes, it’s not a very good look for the team when you have people like DJC, Nick, and Aristofanis acting this way, while also not doing anything about it, at least not publicly. DJC, I’ve pretty much said all I wanted to say to you. The only thing else I’ll say is that you are going too fucking far with this.

Pics: https://imgur.com/a/n0ikqA1

But you are most definitely not a team member... you’re just their guardian angel or what? You seem to care way more about this project than the team does.

So you chose to state a whataboutism instead of addressing the post...?

They aren’t mutually exclusive. Just because one is bad doesn’t mean the other instances aren’t. Alts are clearly a bad thing and are wrong to use, no matter who is behind them.

The only reason that I even brought it up is because you and the rest of the team do it all the time to anyone with similar account stats to XBoomerY. Yet, you only do it when someone says anything negative about the project. When some newbie account with 1 post makes a positive comment, you don’t say anything at all, and you get defensive when people point it out - like you just did with me. So, you can think all you want that you’re pointing out my hypocrisy, but it’s the other way around - I’m pointing out yours.

I knew you’d say something exactly like what you said. I made the comment to showcase your hypocrisy and you didn’t disappoint. Why is it OK for y’all to point it out when the comments are negative, but it is not ok for other people to do it when the comments are positive?

It is pretty damn obvious that XBoomerY is a team member’s alt account.

- Newbie account
- 5 posts which are ALL about Xtrabytes
- username formatted the same as another xby team member’s username, XBojackY

Those numbers also aren’t even the correct format. The US patent office uses ‘US’ explicitly. I could not find a single instance of ‘USP’ being used.

Funny that those IDs are different than the original DJC posted on Warosu: https://warosu.org/biz/thread/S16521630#p16522068_4

They started with ‘590’ until I called him out on that not even being a patent class...

Why does the team continue to ONLY post things in Discord when it makes no sense whatsoever considering a majority of whatever community is left is not a part of it. Everything apparently happens in the Discord.

Why is it that the team can do all the marketing and make all the announcements beforehand, yet always come up empty at the end? They did 3 testnets (not even on Xtrabytes own blockchain; so they’re pointless). Had no issues hyping those up and shilling all over the place about it (nevermind that they came up about 90% short of their tps claims). Had no issue sucking people in with all the BS and the promise that 4th testnet would be soon and be on Zoltchain. Yet here we are, over 2 years later after that 3rd testnet, and there’s been nothing. So, Zoltchain was ‘nearly ready’ for a 4th testnet, but still isn’t ready over 2 years later...? How does that work?

Tons of announcements about the mobile wallet. Release date of Feb. 10, 2019. Still not released.

Talking about XChange like it was around the corner. Then, announce a gateway on a different but REAL project’s platform...

All the talk about patents and how once PP status was achieved, the tech would be revealed... we know how that turned out.

Then saying the details of the patents would be revealed shortly, but once the time came, suddenly the details couldn’t be shared.

Very clear and deliberate market manipulation. ‘Pre-announcement about a big future announcement’ in order to drive up coin price, sell, then give an anticlimactic BS announcement.

That self-moderated thread is real active, huh? Must be from all those supporters the team claims to have. I bet it’s really active. Probably so much so that readers can’t even keep up with the thread...

Oh. Wait.

I would put money on a good majority of those members/subscribers/followers being alt accounts that were made by the team. Go look around Reddit, the Xtrabytes forum, or on Bitcointalk. There is a large percentage of accounts that made a few comments - all positive praise towards Xtrabytes - and then were never used again. There’s numerous accounts that only pop up every so often just to sing praises to Xtrabytes, then are completely dormant for months after. Here’s a list just from the Xtrabytes forums:

Cryptokingbyte: 11/22/17 - 12/24/17

Webwakko: 11/21/17 - 2/27/18

MushroomCloud: 11/6-12/2/17

Rwin: 11/26-12/20/2017

Shixy: 11/16/17-1/27/18

Marcus: 12/16/17-1/4/2018

Silvercaveman: 11/16-12/15/2017

Jonnypromises: 11/15/17-11/15/17

Mightyman: 11/15/17-1/6/18

Cau: 11/16/17-12/7/17

ekosaputro: 11/18/2017-11/20/2017

All made around the same time in the span of about a month during the height of the bullrun. Most made only a couple positive comments and then were never used again. Extremely likely that these were alts made by the team to make it appear that Xtrabytes had/has more support than it really does. It’s no secret the team has tons of alt accounts and that they buy accounts. Both of these facts were proven by Reddit mods.

BTW, Dave just admitted that their Twitter has 8000-something followers. So why does the website say ‘10,000+ Twitters followers’? That’s objectively false. As is the claim that the subreddit has 5200+ followers. It has 4700. Proof: https://imgur.com/a/gvZxx5D. It begs the question - what else is the team lying about?

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ajcx9j/the_xtrabytes_scam_no_proofofexistence_poex_for/eevjqn3/

So, Dave, where’s that mobile wallet?

Let’s see some facts:

•   ⁠No proof of Zoltchain
•   ⁠No proof of DICOM
•   ⁠No proof of being quantum resistant, despite claiming as much
•   ⁠No proof of POSign
•   ⁠Still no timetable for testnet on Zoltchain. Last testnet, which was not on the Xtrabytes alleged blockchain was over 2 years ago.  
•   ⁠Still no explanation how users could have the same address on multiple chains or how migrating to a different  
chain did not need a token swap
•   ⁠No proof of X-Change, X-Vote, X-Chat, X-Vault, or anything pertinent to the main product
•   ⁠No objective proof of patents being submitted
•   ⁠No transparency and still no XFuel audit, despite being promised months ago
•   ⁠Mobile wallet still not released, despite having a scheduled release date of February 10, 2019. The team claims they are in the 6th - yeah, you’re reading that right - SIXTH round of beta
•   ⁠Still no objective proof of a legal team

Going all the way back to the original ANN, Xtrabytes has displayed questionable behavior with red flags all over. For instance, Borz and CCR post multiple images throughout, showing conversations, etc. However, when Borz shows his alleged conversations with CCEX support, the ‘proof’ is plaintext and typed out by Borz. It’s interesting that the CSR and Borz use the exact same language too, which is characterized by an overuse of adverbs. The whole story of ‘random person contacts big exchange and the exchange just gives them the source code for a project’ isn’t believable. The conversation then being typed in plaintext rather than screenshot just adds to the question of authenticity.

As can be seen throughout this thread and in the following links I’ve posted, there’s always been something with the Xtrabytes team that you can count on (aside from stalling and delays), and that’s personal attacks. Notice throughout this thread even that they rarely address anyone’s comments, questions, criticism, etc. Instead, they resort to personal attacks - name-calling, bringing up personal details they have skimmed the internet to find, doxxing people - yes, they have doxxed multiple people including myself, trying to frame people in a certain light, such as a disgruntled investor, needing to go outside, having no life, etc., and they refuse to provide any proof on the stance that ‘any proof given would just be accused of being fake’. Look through the linked posts for more evidence of them doing this.

Teams that have something wouldn’t act this way. The team spends A majority of their time on social media being Dave’s FUD Patrol. Perhaps if they spent more time developing, they’d have a product. It’s very convenient for the team that everything throughout this process prevents the tech from being shown in any capacity. Every single step, there’s always a reason as to why the tech can’t be shown. Very convenient indeed. You try to paint other people as crazy, but we’re not the ones believing without any evidence or proof and on complete blind faith. THAT is much more concerning than not blindly believing whatever anyone says despite not a single shred of evidence.

Maybe the reason y’all keep this up is because Dave runs it exactly like an MLM and your success depends on luring in new people.

😂😂😂

Kicking the can further down the line. Again. Surprise, surprise. Still no patent application submissions showing up on any of the online databases. Why is that? The team said it was due to the holidays. People are and have been back at work. Those databases are up to date as of today. So why aren’t Xtrabytes applications showing up?
CCR said that more details would be released in the first week of January. Well, that’s over. Still nothing. 🧐🙄😂

https://blog.xtrabytes.global/xtrabytes/xby-news/xtrabytes-technology-an-education-process/

“we believe that a basic understanding of blockchain technology is required to fully appreciate the differences. Consequently, we’ve opted to teach the XTRABYTES technology to everyone who is interested in learning more about it through an educational process.”

That’s just what I want - to be taught blockchain technology by a team of 40+ people (allegedly) that cant even produce a single worthwhile product - not even a mobile wallet - after nearly 3 years. Btw, we’re coming up on the 1-year anniversary of the mobile wallet being announced. How’s that coming along?

“ Details that reveal critical parts of the XTRABYTES technology (the subject of patents that have not yet been granted, or closed source secrets) will only be available for individuals who can demonstrate a certain level of commitment and are contributing to the project. In addition, they must provide proof of the required skill level. Finally, access to these courses may also require an NDA agreement prior to being received.

Ultimately, our goal is to get the right information to the right individuals. That means enabling individuals to select the area of the technology that best fits their field of interest/expertise. If successful, we believe this will help further compartmentalize certain aspects of our technology, allowing for the creation of highly educated experts in the process.

In order to preserve our competitive edge, we reserve the right to exclude anyone from any of the courses that require an NDA agreement (especially if we believe that the individual is intent on using the knowledge to help advance our competitors). In addition, those enrolled in these high-level courses will also need to actively contribute to the project.”

Anyone taking bets on the likelihood that they’re trying to use other people’s knowledge to develop something? Sure sounds like it.

“Readers can expect this list to expand over time as new components of our technology are revealed:

- Quantum resistance: I’m curious how, considering the team has been exposed as not understanding many different aspects of QR, and how it’s been explained in detail that the methods they’re using will not make Zoltchain QR. (The team seems to believe using the SHA-512 HA will make the system QR. It won’t. SHA-512 is practically unnecessary. If they were really planning for the future and to be QR, they’d use an SHA-3 algorithm.)

- Unlimited transaction throughput: can’t wait to see this, considering last Testnet didn’t even hit close to 1000tps. “That wasn’t even on Zoltchain!” The team exclaims. Ok. So why’d you do it?)

- Guaranteed scalability (That’s a relief! I sure was worried about network congestion, what with the 6 people that use the network and all.)

- Individual, private and functional blockchains: Yes, in the era of blockchain communication and integration, ensuring that Zoltchain is secluded off on an island somewhere is definitely the way to go. Functional? That remains to be seen. In any capacity whatsoever.

- Eco-friendly consensus algorithm: Some would argue that it’s already pretty eco-friendly, given that it runs on hopes and dreams.

- Low-cost network participation: That’s the best part of hopes and dreams - they’re free! If costs are anywhere even near the figures that have been discussed in the past, no one in their right mind would ever develop on the platform.

- Business data applications: Good luck getting companies to use the platform when you’re also working so hard to make it a data silo. The current landscape is all about system integration, communication, and compatibility. No company is going to pay to siphon off a portion of their data in a silo that doesn’t integrate with their current systems. 

The joke of the crypto world just keeps getting funnier.

‘Do the opposite of what others do in a market? A golden rule? Now, that’s one I have never heard. Can’t even find anything about that on Google. Just like anything else in life - investing is conditional and depends on a multitude of things. When everyone was buying Amazon at $100, you’d be an idiot to not invest. Conversely, if you bought Sears in the last 5 years (when no one else was), you’d be an idiot to do so. Things aren’t that black and white.

It is hilarious that you’re still touting proving someone’s existence as some milestone. Even funnier is that you completely fail to mention - intentionally, no doubt - all the questions, claims, accusations, etc that are still unanswered, uncontested, are still true, etc. There’s a much longer laundry list of things the team still hasn’t proven whatsoever, such as - where’s that mobile wallet that was scheduled for release February 2019? BTW - there’s STILL no proof of PP status or for what the PP status was granted for. The only source is an Xtrabytes blog post. That’s not proof. Just like the posts they made about working with Grant Thornton aren’t proof and they still haven’t proven that any of it took place. You clearly don’t understand what ‘proof’ is.

Any post about Xtrabytes on r/CC either gets ignored entirely or filled with comments calling it a scam. The same is true on Twitter, where the whole 5 engaged users who aren’t team members are calling it a scam. 4chan is filled with people making fun of Xtrabytes and calling it a scam. To say Xtrabytes doesn’t have a bad reputation is laughable. It’s the joke of the crypto world.

Wrong. I choose the option to reserve judgment until there are verifiable details.

There are no patent application records for Xtrabytes, ‘POSign’, ‘Proof of Signature’, ‘Proof-of-Signature’, Zoltan Szabo, Xtrabytes, Ltd., Dave Bergsma, or any other related and/or associated terms in the following patent and intellectual property databases: WIPO (World Intellectual Property Org), PAIR (Patent Application Information Request), CIPO (Canadian Intellectual Property Org), NIPO (National “ “), EUIPO (European Union “ “), AIPO (American “ “), IP Federation, IPO (Int. Prop. Office), EPO (European Patent Org), Google Patent Search, or Escapenet.

All of these databases are updated as of 12/26/2019 or 12/27/2019 and they all display patent applications as well as granted patents.

A possible explanation for this is the 18-month waiting period for publication of full documents. However, record of the submission should be on the sites. There are applications from just yesterday on them.

I am reserving my judgment until I see some proof. Like I have said from the beginning. All I want is proof.

Aside from this, patent-pending status (and subsequent possibility of patents) does not equate to success. There are millions of patents for things that never achieved any level of success. There‘s also numerous worthless patents.
