Title: How do you know? Post by: jdany on April 27, 2013, 03:25:36 AM How do you know this massive hashing effort isn't a scheme intended to trick miners into creating the biggest code-busting network in history and weaponize it? All along we thing we're working on a digital currency?

Bitcoin is open source, anyone who wishes to can read through it and prove to themselves that bitcoin is clean, and many people have. As I typed that Drakahn replied, but basically what he said. xD Title: Re: How do you know? Post by: Manawarp on April 27, 2013, 09:31:54 PM Funny part is I've heard this before from someone else.

All along we thing we're working on a digital currency? Because everything is open source. You can check and compile the code before running anything. You know EXACTLY what is running on your computer! You can even write your own miner if you wish. Title: Re: How do you know?

All along we thing we're working on a digital currency? It would be easier to use a virus to spread that vs. tricking the whole world in this elaborate hoax! plus it has been peer reviewed and none of that was ever found. Title: Re: How do you know?
