No one is making you guys into monsters but yourselves.

And its not because you ask questions. 

It's because your mission is to destroy everything you personally don't like.  That makes you an asshole.  Deal with it.

I'm going to be SHOCKED if anything close to a charity donation actually happens.

I've seen that as well.  I think maybe it was not in the alt coin section.  I can't find it either, though.

LOL.  Anyone posting the name of a coin here is just begging to be the next victims of the extortionists.

I guess you guys are getting too lazy to hunt down victims and you want them to just come to you.

If you are so big on openness, how about getting your Operation Shitcoin buddies to admit which coins they created?

Of course, there is no way that is going to happen, because the real purpose of Operation Shitcoin is to bolster the value those very coins.  (And to make money through extortion, of course.)

You are delusional.

No one in law enforcement is going to give a shit about what you call a "scam."  (Creating a coin based on a meme is a scam in your book, right?) 

I can just see it:  "Officer, arrest this man.  He created a coin that didn't add sufficient value to the community!"  LOL.

However, they understand extortion VERY well.

If they come, they will be coming for you and your extortionist buddies.

That's ridiculous semantics.  You've already said you don't care how they choose the coin you destroy.  Well, they choose through extortion.  Whoever doesn't pay.

They rely on you to carry out the plan.  You unleash on the chosen coin, and you've already said that whichever they choose is fine with you and you don't need a reason.

It's absurd to claim that you are not part of the extortion plot just because you are not the one receiving the money.  

Seriously?  OK, let's start at the beginning...

One (and many people would say the only) legitimate purpose of government is to protect freedom.  Rape victims do not choose to be raped.  Molested children do not choose to be molested.  Their rights -- their freedom -- is being taken away.  That is why there are laws against those things, and why those laws are a legitimate function of government.

Now, Spoetnik, how much have you been forced to invest in scam coins?  Zero.  No one is forcing you -- no one is forcing anyone -- to invest in these coins.  The investors are exercising their freedom of choice.

You want to take that freedom away.

Normally, the counter argument is that the authoritarians just want to "protect" the people from themselves.  The authoritarians are elitists who see themselves as superior to the masses, so they should be the ones deciding who deserves which freedom.

And in some cases, they actually believe they are serving the public good.

So what's the problem with that, if they actually are the experts in the market, and if they are trying to serve the public good?  Well, look back to the central tenant of capitalism: People act in their own self-interest.

The "review committee," in this case, will make decisions based on what is best for them personally.  This can't be solved by finding "good" people.  It's not a character defect.  It's simply human nature.  "Where you stand depends on where you sit."  Our point of view on any issue is ALWAYS colored by self-interest, even when we truly do not believe this is the case.

Politically, the elegant solution that the framers of the US Constitution came up with is to recognize that self-interest is going to be central to every decision and to pit interests against each other set up a system of checks and balances and oversight to protect the rights of the minority.  

But how are you possibly going to have any oversight in a situation like this forum?  It's not going to happen.  Oversight of the decision-making committee is not part of the proposal, and even if it were, it would be cumbersome, expensive, and very likely completely ineffective.  No one is going to be on the committee if it means they are subject to financial review.  But how else are you going to catch members cheating the system?  So the effects of self-interest are magnified.  For example, the people on this committee will receive lots of bribe offers.  What makes you think that they won't take them?  Blind trust?

Economically, Adam Smith postulated that the "invisible hand" of the market arises from competing self-interest.  "The theory for the Invisible Hand states that if each consumer is allowed to choose freely what to buy and each producer is allowed to choose freely what to sell and how to produce it, the market will settle on a product distribution and prices that are beneficial to all the individual members of a community, and hence to the community as a whole."

So what you are proposing is taking away freedom of the many for the benefit of a chosen few.  Is it any wonder that people aren't eager to go along with your plan?

I'm not talking about the fake extortion PM that's been posted.

I believe BCX when he says he's not the one doing the extorting.  He's admitted that he just takes orders from the extortionists.  Don't see any reason why he would lie about that.

Also, if BCX were the one doing the extortion, I'm pretty damned sure he'd want payment in BTC, not Aurora, LOL.

No, what I'm talking about is the evidence in public posts on this forum.  The extortionists described exactly how the scheme works, including what they charge.  If they don't pay, they sick BCX on them.  BCX said he just attacks whatever coin they tell him to.  Those are public posts. 

Do you really think those posts were somehow faked? 

There's certainly FAR more evidence that this is a case of extortion than there is evidence that Aurora is a scam.

Perhaps it's not extortion in this case.  But the fact is, an extortion scheme has been publicly laid out, and people have admitted to their roles in that scheme.

BCX said he will attack whatever coin "they" decide.  And how do they decide?  No need to guess.  They stated it publicly.  Anyone who doesn't pay up gets destroyed.  

BCX threatened to attack this coin.  The coin is now under attack.

Can you seriously not connect the dots?

There's certainly FAR more evidence that this is a case of extortion than there is evidence that Aurora is a scam.

Oh, you're saying with Aurora.  No, I don't care about Aurora.  In fact, I agree that it is very shady, not what they are presenting it to be, and I wouldn't be surprised if BCX is right in that a lot of the people "claiming" their coins are likely part of the development team.

I just think extortion is the wrong way to address it.  Let the market handle it.

Those are direct quotes.  One detailing the extortion plan, the other detailing the enforcement.  They admitted it.  What more evidence could there be?

Are you trying to imply that extortion is part of the free market?

1.  They didn't pay the extortion.
2.  The extortionists gave the attack order to their lackey.
3.  The lackey, a little man with big computers, is trying to convince everyone that that makes him a Big Man.

Do I win a prize?

You're missing the point.  If it were managed by consensus, how are the extortionists running this "Operation" going to get their money?

This whole thing has NOTHING to do with cleaning up shitcoins.  It's about scamming people out of money.  Scam coin creators like the OP clear out the competition.  Pool operators get sheep to DDOS competitors.  And the extortionists collect their "registration fees."

It's not about cleaning up anything.  It's about criminals working together to expand their enterprise and conning fools into doing most of the work for them.

Why are people around here so obsessed with imposing their will on others?

Why do you have such a problem with the free market?

I am continually astounded by the number of people in the crypto community who despise freedom of choice.

Not defending the guy, but it's kinda ironic that you post this on a website full of criminals and scammers...

How long is this going to drag on?
