People really should read back a few pages before wasting thousands of keystrokes on speculation about things that are already well known. In particular I would read where I noticed an email in the list from Scott Booth which he verified was indeed real:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=857670.msg10651942#msg10651942Get real. There were at least 50,000 Emails in that dump last night. It would take someone a year just to write them, not even getting into all of the links and pictures and
voicemails and then the DKIM signatures that are in them. If you are an idiot solipsist and just can't accept that truth can be known I think you are in the wrong thread.
P.S: This post is mainly meant for trixter and PC. PC is already on ignore, and now you are as well aptley named wall o text poster. See you never, forget to write! Buhbyes!
This thread is moving so fast and there is so much trolling and FUD that it's impossible to discern what's really going on.
Yesterday morning I saw a screenshot posted here where coinbrief said the emails they leaked were in fact faked.
Was that screenshot legit, were those leaked emails which dropped the price 2 nights ago to .0011, in fact fakes?
Cause now I'm seeing a 50,000 email dump?
WTF is going on? Are these real or not and who has the most to gain if they're being faked?
If this is all FUD, it is the biggest most elaborate FUD I have ever seen.
Thanks for any clarification! I hope Coinbrief posts to clarify once and for all or better yet, write another article to clarify or add some color.
Wow Vlad is actually considering the fact that this may, in fact, be legit? That it may not be FUD?
I mentioned earlier that I was considering not writing another article about this, but I've had enough people asking me to do so that I feel like I probably should. I don't know if I can get it ready by tomorrow, as there is a LOT of information to dig through...but, I will try to get it all worked out as soon as I can.
The funny thing about the 50,000 email "dump" is that not only was it not a hack. It wasn't even a true dump or leak. It was all freely available for a LONG time. It just wasn't indexed by Google (they don't index Google Groups). I'll make sure to show exactly how it must have happened, with step-by-step pictures for those that would rather not read, when I write the new article.
