The only epiphany I've ever had at dinner was upon realising I'd just followed through. I thought I would sneak out a cheeky silent fart but the moist sensation in my pants and the putrid smell ascending from under the table quickly alerted me to the fact I was dealing with something entirely more sinister.

Speaking of hot air and following through, hot air is largely what Anonymint/BCX are pushing out as some of us already predicted.

Following through is something I presumed wouldn't happen. Looks like the back-pedalling has already began

Perhaps a  Fragile egos at work sign should be erected around the perimeter of this thread.

Watch the market reaction when it's revealed this is all unsubstantiated FUD. Already Anonymint is back-pedalling (Surprise, Surprise)
This was an opportunity to buy in cheap for some.

Observers would be well suited to ignore all the FUD flying round and certain posters intentional misinformation campaign against Monero . Not a single scrap of evidence to back up their claims has been shown. People are using the terms "attack" as if this is an established fact.  IF an attack even exists all we'd have to do to patch the exploit is fix the implementation so it correctly reflects the cryptography in the whitepaper.

This really is the classic good-cop / bad-cop routine.

The crux of the situation is that two posters here, Anonymint and jl777 remained bitter after the Monero community didn't bow down and lick their boots in the fashion they were accustomed to.

That's because their intentions are transparent and don't require their contributions from them shape what is coming. We simply have no requirement nor room for large egos. Monero does not need faux economys plugging into the network as a selling feature.  We have heard the criticisms levied against Monero by Anonymint and addressed them. That may come across as smug however it's not intentionally so, it is just the reality of the situation.

Monero will succeed and these dirty tactics will be forgotten within a matter of days. The market reaction will speak for itself. My life does not revolve around forum debates and there is certainly things I would rather be doing right now than arguing pointlessly about hypothetical exploits.  We are wasting time here even conversing with the trolls when it is better spend on continually improving our ecosystem, but it is a necessity for those more easily mislead who are vulnerable to having their opinions swayed by idle threats. I do not wish to see any of us lose out money to these dirty tactics, hence the reason I am even taking time out to post.

Sorry Anonymint, whilst you may have been a capable coder you're out of line in this occasion and frankly well past your shelf-life.
I grew tired of your  martin armstrong links quite some time ago.  I don't wish to offend you but this has become increasingly tedious. Resorting to Ad hominem attacks reflects poorly on your already fragile reputation.
