Yes. Today I can confirm that from his actions and speech, something is very off with this fellow.

Re: [ANN] Litecoin - a lite version of Bitcoin. Launched!

So bullish LTC, loving it. They need to step up their game at the marketing front tho - as well as dev of interesting UI for user interaction with Segwit and other applications.
I see Trezor is already deploying some Segwit for the masses and that's great - but looking forward to see more.

2017 is the year of LTC, it'll rise as a Phoenix from the ashes. (from market perspective, still needs to break the psychological USD50 barrier - and Bitcoin people need to understand LTC is their ally, not enemy on this cryptocurrencies "war")

Chickn is pretty much alive and should be testing historical highs soon...
It will also set precedent and show use cases of Segwit so users can finally understand what are the improvements to BTC with it.
Exciting times ahead

Re: [ANN] The XVC take over! ICO. Collect BTC for expensive devs.

What do you mean by "protecting a pool" ? I'm running pools for years and I know very well how to "protect" them, or was anything hacked ? He forked off and banned the node(s) of my pool three times, invalidating blocks on the pool even while the pool had a lot more than 50 % of the network.

He was claiming the pool's p2p node was "open" - well.. A p2p port is designed to be open, isn't it ? Smiley The RPC port is the port which needs to be protected and XVC doesn't even have password authentication for the RPC port neither does it have host-based access restrictions.. Every bitcoin based wallet has that since the very first version.. (rpcallowip... rpcusername/password etc) ... So the only way of protecting a XVC wallet is by making it listen on 127.0.0.1 only and having iptables rules in place.


Good point, this is a complicated part of the coin, specially the fact that it's stated several times throughout the instructions not to open the RPC port.
The thing is that this, in itself, shows John the bad actors.

Hope he being out is just him dealing with this bug to avoid these absurd claims. The RPC port being closed, it is protected.
This rule is probably there because of other parts of the coin, such as chainblender.

John probably been pressured by some senior bitcoin community criminal.
He's is anon for a reason. Maybe someone got to him and he freaked out?
Maybe he's being threatened? Worst - being held hostage?
Maybe the zeroslot thing pissed off some online casino owners and that's why he panic launched it and got out of sight?
Maybe he's closing a deal with some online casino for the zeroslot and just busy?
Maybe he's coding, listening to Metallica and showing the finger to the world while he continues to build his legacy?

The truth is, like with Satoshi, "it doesn't fucking matter", the code speaks for itself and this coin is not going anywhere.

I don't get it... what's the advantage of this coin? Does it even work? Where is it coming from? How is it produced? I see the block explorer and there are over 800,000,000 coins already some 200,000,000 produced within the last blocks, all with 0 transactions going on.

Serious project with promising future, love how they are working on a useful environment so that users might really leave the app (node) open on their computers - for anonymous chat or tor browsing, for ex. Would be great to have a Linux ShadowOS preloaded with SDC node for RASPBERRY PI. Really cheap way of running a node and great secure wallet if you have stakes on the coin. I mean, eventually people that are bought into the coin will want to help enforce the system (by running nodes) to protect their coins.

Hi guys, I believe I'm as much hyped and "in love" with my Trezor as most of the guys around here.
One thing that stills puzzles me is if I can trust that there is no backdoor in these wallets? There is any resources of security experts that audited the product?
I understand Satoshi Labs is not a small BTC player and as miners they have interest that people feel secure in order to mine and buy BTCs without problems.

Just asking, real noob here. Cheers!

Re: Incentivizing Bitcoin Nodes

I believe the best solution is: Educate people about the need for nodes. Give them a easy SD card image LINUX system for Raspberry PI with pre-installed and clean Bitcoin client.
Make them run a 24/7 raspberry PI node - very cheap to buy and run. Will be run on altruism and self-preservation (for people who have stake on the BTC network - own BTCs)

That's it!

Cheers,
