The top 11 vendors have already been refunded (see https://t.me/p2p_monero_talk for proof). Only 25k USD got lost since OpenMonero does not have any pre-funding. It is very simple. You cannot avoid hacks but you can minimize the damage with non-custodial trade funding and non-custodial trade settlements. That is exactly how openmoenro works. Between LocalMonero did not have the non-custodial trade funding setup that was developed and open sourced on https://git.openmonero.co
The non-custodial trade funding allows to receive a trade request without having to pre-lock the full trading amount. It a trustless trading experience.

The OpenMonero project is still going strong and holding up pretty well against the baseless claims coming from some so-called "trusted" community members. I've noticed a few of these trusted folks on BitcoinTalk spreading misleading info, like accusations of plagiarism and exit scams. I've been open and transparent about the hack and those plagiarism claims from the start. Even with all the flags on my account, do you really think that changes anything? These accusations are completely unfounded and lack any real proof. Honestly, you can't damage my reputation because I’m all about transparency, and my vendors keep praising the support I provide.

I have no interest in exit scams. If I did, I'd be asking for pre-funding for every published offer, which I’m not. I’m also not trying to create a monopoly. If I was, I wouldn’t have open-sourced both the frontend and backend, and I've given proper credit to LocalMonero on the official site. Yet, you keep spreading false claims about a legit, independent community project. Without solid proof, your accusations mean nothing. Nobody cares about your gut feelings.

My aim is to raise awareness and teach folks that decentralized exchanges aren’t automatically more secure than regular server-based platforms. In some cases, like Haveno, they can even be more dangerous because of pre-funding and rug puller bots. More here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5533743.msg65114988#msg65114988

Deleting your original thread is a classic scammer move!

it immediately raises red flags and destroys any credibility you claim to have. Transparency means sharing proof, not hiding it. By removing critical discussions around your alleged hack, you’ve shown your true colors.

Your attempts to deflect blame onto another project only highlight your bad faith. Instead of addressing your platform’s glaring security flaws or working to create a trustworthy decentralized solution, you chose a centralized model prone to “miraculous hacks” and cover-ups.

Your actions speak far louder than your words ever could. Anyone with experience can see through these tactics. Scammers like you try to hide and manipulate!

If your platform were legitimate, you wouldn’t be so quick to silence criticism or dodge accountability. This behavior confirms what many already suspect!

OpenMonero is SCAMMER!
