[EDIT] Conclusion:



I still implore CoinsSource to publicly acknowledge their failings in publishing his damaging article in the first place. They have yet to publicly show any remorse or regret on their website or twitter. When all is said and done, it was their decision to publish the article. Not only this, but the article in question remained on their website's homepage as their headlining article for 2 days before finally being withdrawn. This, despite the huge justifiable backlash and complaints directed towards the article.





CoinsSource journalist, Aleppo Allesadero, is a parasite. He is either part of CoolStoryTeller's, pookie's and Longandshort's pump and dump/troll group or he is simply paid by them to be their sock puppet. He abuses his position as a journalist on CoinsSource to promote these trolls' agenda. Evidence against these trolls can be found here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=818939.0


Early last month, Stealthcoin was subject to an avalanche of Fud by the aforementioned trolls. An article was subsequently published on CoinsSource on 11th October which didn't paint XST in a positive light which fits in with the trolls' agenda. The article implied the future of XST was uncertain, which itself served as fear, uncertainty and doubt - "The future of the coin’s value does not look too promising as of yet". That's a direct quote.

http://www.tonewsto.com/2014/10/stealthcoin-market-chaos-as-fud-runs.html   <-------this references CoinsSource as the source. Can't find directly on CoinsSource. Did they delete??

Guess who the author was? Yep, Aleppo Allesadero.

The same troll group are also staunch supporters of SDC. SDC community were rightly accused of a smear campaign against XST. SDC community manager responds to this by giving an interview to CoinsSource on 12th October. This article was again biased towards these trolls. The interview even mentions Longandshort by name to defend him. The author ends the article with "Again, a big thank you goes to the community manager of Shadow for presenting us with the inside story." He's implying that he's got the scoop on the "real facts". Yep, you guessed it, the author was again Aleppo Allesadero.

article: http://www.coinssource.com/interview-with-shadowcoin-community-manager-recent-concerns/

He posted ANOTHER article on SDC on CoinsSource on the 10th October. This dude sure does like to write about SDC. You have to read the market analysis section of this article, it's actually hilarious. The coin dropped from 66k Satoshis to 17k. He tries to put a positive spin on this by stating the coin has since risen to 18k satoshis lol!

Fast forward to today and recently another shambolic article has been written in which he implies that Blocknet, XC and Dan Metcalf are not to be trusted. I would throw down some quotes but the article in its entirety is riddled with baseless accusations, and the tone throughout is so biased and unbalanced it's incredible. In fact, most of the information is pulled from the "Scam" thread that is moderated by the SDC Trolls. The author even quotes a newbie SDC troll account (account name 'NoMoreLies') for crying out loud! This aligns with the SDC trolls agenda who have been spamming the forums for days now against the Blocknet, XC and Dan. They have been lobbying for refunds for the blocknet with the hope that the freed up BTC will be pumped into SDC. Yep, AGAIN, the author is our delightful friend Aleppo Allesadero.

Some more info on this "journalist" - he follows TrollsRoyce aka CoolStoryTeller on Twitter. Why would he follow a "random" crytotrader?? The guy only follows 20-odd crypto-related twitter accounts to begin with, and only a handful of traders. TrollsRoyce follows him back as well for heaven's sake! The 2 obviously have strong ties.

CoinsSource, I know you read these forums. I would like an explanation as to why you employ an unethical journalist such as Aleppo Allesadero? At best he has a conflict of interest and at worst he is being paid by SDC trolls to act as their sock puppet. He is abusing his position on your site to promote his, and the rest of the scumbags', agenda.

This has completely tarnished my view of CoinsSource as a reputable crypto-news site. I will not be visiting your website until this "journalist" has been dismissed from your company. You are a disgrace.

https://twitter.com/AleppoCF/status/521214689490251776

LOL, next!  ::)

Thanks for the advertisement.

At best that might defend his XST article but doesn't refute the rest of my post.

What other articles has he written?. You can't pull select articles from a journalist and say hes a hired shrill just because he follows someone on twitter.

He written about numerous other coins in favorable light, does that means hes paid from those coins as well?

Are you a moron? All the other 3 articles relating to this pump 'n' dump group agenda are ALL written by him. He hasn't written many more on coinssource from what I can find. AND he follows a "random" cryptotrader who just happens to be in a pump 'n' dump group. Give me a break.

AND the entirety of one article is dedicated to defending these trolls.

seems he has other people he follows that are pumpers, and one that is an antipumper.

He follows about 10 traders out of thousands and its just a coincidence that one is TrollsRoyce. And TrollsRoyce follows back. Plus the content of the articles. Yep, no connection whatsoever... ::)

Its really simple. Don't take/allow premine, don't hold/condone an ITO, don't do shady deals with people behind closed doors, with questionable people when you are in control of peoples money. And don't cite old white papers stating that its possible to implement something when clearly it isn't. And you wont get backlash!

For you, i would say get over all this, its done, its over. Do your research and stop attacking the people who are trying to keep questionable people in this industry honest, you will fail every time!

why did CoinsSource organise a Q&A with Dan Metcalf to address the incorrect assertions in the article if it was "honest"? I think they realise they dropped the ball on that one and trying to set record straight.

And FYI I've invested in blocknet. I could get a refund if I want but will 100% not be pursuing one.

Thats great focus on your project and stop trying to draw lines to things when you will most likely never know the answer to it all!

Thing is no one in this op is asking for peoples money!

That's what I'm doing, focusing on my project. The Blocknet has suffered because of your smear campaign. This so-called journalist is part of this smear campaign. I'm just returning the favor.

Why is it my smear campaign? All i did was make a thread and ask 8 questions. They got answered and that was it, i was done. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=841958.0

I'm just becoming this scapegoat as is SDC when it has nothing to do with either.

You asking these questions and that is admirable and i encourage you to ask relevant questions of people who control peoples money! I think you are barking up the wrong tree here, trying to discredit some people who are asking these questions about blocknet to some how negate the 30+ threads started on this topic because you cant blame them all at once!

I'm not asking for peoples money. Blocknet does not make me insecure in the slightest. Its a good idea but its not very trustworthy given the rush of it and the workload dan has already and the coins involved in its initial offering. It was a failed attempt to push all of those markets up with the alure of them getting a 10% discount by using them to buy tokens. I belive that model to begin with was poorly thought through and to me it showed bias.

Thats what i saw when i looked deep into it all. It is why i wanted nothing to do with it, because i knew something like this was quite likely to happen at some stage. Being that it was only a matter of time before someone started asking the same questions!

I don't have to explain myself at all but i am because you need to understand something here. I'm here for the ideals of this space. I'm very vocal and i use this account to say whatever i like i dont have multiple accounts like some. I try never to come without proof of something, i don't play guess work, i just lay the facts out.

Not many like it, i'm abrasive at times and i have poor typing skills but i am in no way responsible for peoples money and i am in no way what you and so many before you are trying to paint me as.. I'm just becoming everybody scapegoat, which i completely experted and deal with. As i said, i believe you are barking up the wrong tree here.

When I said "Your" smear campaign I was referring to the collective you - as in the SDC trolls as a group. So calm down, I'm not putting it all on you (singular)!

If you're not part of this group and your intentions were honest then I apologize. I really can't be arsed reading through your post history. But when you have an avalanche of SDC trolls spreading fud its impossible to sort the shills from the honest ones. Maybe you should look at yourself and your 'abrasive' nature. Maybe that's why people catergorize you in the same group of trolls.

But anyway I digress. The purpose of this is to try and get a response from CoinsSource so they can address the fact they have an unethical journalist abusing their position by writing such biased and unbalanced shit. I have tried contacting them directly but no response. Maybe their name on a public forum will get one.

But thats just my point its not sdc trolls as a group because there is not one. Its just about everybody on the forums who is against the idea of this whole thing.

You are using sdc and me and a few other people as a scapegoat and are fosusing it all on us when you cannot deny its far more then just a few people.

SDC the project is solely focused on itself, its just released a team testnet, testing phase for zero knowledge they don't have time for this crap. Again, i believe you are bunching all this up and trying to point a finger in some hope it negates you problems you may well have at your projects feet. Starting more of these threads and going around with the claims you and some others have will not help that cause at all.

I know you want some sort of gratification but you wont find here, and certainly not with this claim!

I agree with the aim and point that journos are impossibly unethical at times. Thats something that has been around much longer then bitcoin as you well know. Their payment model is not geared to motivate ethical standards and the pay prolly does not justify the time going through all the treads, as you put it "i cant be arsed" so i'm sure you can understand them if you think of it like that.

But by using my name and others to do that by dragging us through the mud is going to bite you in the ass and your cause!

I am avbrasive at times, i deal with a lot of people on a daily basis. I'm always saying the things people are thinking and most don't like to hear. I make no apology for my loud voice and my abrasiveness to idiots. I'm richeious and have the right intent. I am who i am, no one else, i'm not faking it.

I will not change because people are not quite capable of categorizing things into abstract baskets instead of the same old black and white crap. Do your homework and spend more time collecting evidence because "not being arsed" will bite you in the arse every time especially when you attack peoples name!

Then how come when I look at the posting history of these trolls 90% of them come from the SDC community or newb accounts? There are literally 100's of coin communities out there so why is the majority of it coming from SDC? The SDC community is also relatively small. And add the fact this guy called the SDC smear campaign weeks ago:


It's clear this smear campaign has been orchestrated by certain members of the SDC community. And Aleppo Allesadero is part of it.

I can now understand why you believe all that you hear. You're quoting a known nerd rager and calling it gospel!

The sdc community members all chose not to go into the blocknet and we copped a lot of heat for that included was tranglee. So call it a kneejerk reaction, show me 10 sdc trolls?

You cant find them because there isn't the amount you have been made to believe there is. There is about 10 threads abusing sdc, lying and saying they are trolls because me, one person went to the xst thread and brought up a technical problem with their white paper along with asking why they removed razorcoins copyright and replaced it with their own. I was abused for days until their dev THANKED me and it was over!

I was there for days because i would not back down and i was bringing up something they all should have been asking themselves. I mean it's their money. My aim there was to hopefully help to educate and show the contrast of a good vs bad comunity reaction to people. It was to ask the damn questions they were afraid to knwo the answers to, so we don't completely wreck the image of this entire space by allowing so many scams to continue!!

This is nothing but the work of some angry kids who do not understand this tech and have cultivated big enough rumors to have you believe whole heartedly that sdc is full of trolls.. I believe some of the sdc community are outspoken but i don't know of many trolls! I think one is poooki thats it!

The rest are very passionate people and should be thanked instead of called a troll..They are asking the questions that so many communities have made it so people are afraid to ask in fear of this kind of misconception. Which really goes against everything we are trying to achieve here at the core!

I'm not going to spend the next half an hour looking for SDC trolls. I'm far too lazy to even look through your post history! ;D And this is not what I'm trying to prove. I'm trying to out this scumbag journalist. It struck a chord with me that someone could write such a biased and unbalanced article based on pure conjecture. He's partly responsibilty for trying to ruin an honest man's reputation. You google Dan Metcalf and that dishonest article pops up. That automatically damages his business rep. If it was me I would be pursuing legal action against Aleppo Allesadero for publishing libelous information.

My honest opinion is that trollsroyce wrote the article (hence the twitter links with journo) and the journalist cleaned up the grammar and put his name on it in exchange for money or SDC. This is an abuse of his position as people automatically give credence to information published on a so-called reputable site. That's my issue here.

For what it's worth, I read the extensive chat logs between SDC dev ryno and dan that were released today. It was about the possibility of a merger between SDC and XC. This would've benefited both sides imo but they pulled out. I wonder why? pookie and trollsroyce influence? This merger could've been huge. The winning anon coin will be the one that collaborates and merges with the right competitors. No single anon coin will develop all these wonderful features on their own to be the leading anon coin. I guarantee you the anon coin that wins the race will be the one that merged their coding, pr, marketing etc resources together with another competitor's. XC and SDC's tech would've complimeted each other beautifully.

However, no matter how good your tech is, the influence a couple large bag-holders have in your community is worrisome. They have a history of pumping 'n' dumping other coins (cinni, cloak) and now they're in your community. I may one day invest in SDC but not while those 2 are hanging around.

You have successfully made me go completely off-topic lol

Use your real account name instead of being a bitchmade troll. Doesn't add much credibility to your cause when you hide behind a newbie account. I have no relationship with Aleppo and Soepkip handled that article not me. If you had any reading comprehension you would see that the interview was with the SDC community manager.

There is a massive issue in crypto news today of journalists not doing their research before publishing an article. This particular journalist, Aleppo, wrote an article on the stealthcoin peer review and dismissed the findings from the bitcoin core dev as "fud" instead of technical review of the claims made in their whitepaper. I called him out on Twitter for lacking integrity https://twitter.com/AleppoCF/status/521214689490251776

"@AleppoCF @CoinsSource since when is tech peer review cataloged as FUD? There's a serious lack of journalistic integrity in crypto today.."

The Stealthcoin dev posted a thank you to longandshort for the research and peer review. Why would he legitimately thank longandshort if it was FUD?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg9182120#msg9182120

"Again I would like to thank those who have pointed out publicly a critical deficiency in Chandran signatures as they apply to crypto-currencies [1]. Namely, the deficiency is that Chandran signatures are untraceable. I would especially like to mention that LongAndShort's relentless research into the matter was impressive and genuinely helpful." Hondo (XST Lead Developer)

The majority of the community lashed out against SDC instead of thanking longandshort like the XST developer did. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg9154656#msg9154656

There is another massive issue in crypto with people like you making allegations without any "evidence" to base it off of other than your tin foil hat bullshit. "Oh they follow each other on Twitter" LMAO. SDC has nothing to do with CoinSource and neither does anyone in the community.

Why don't you focus on the real scams in crypto like for example the BitSwift developer aka Coinada aka Bitcad4u (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=134027) who is BobSurplus's right hand man. The reason all the Blocknet info came out was based on a communication between a known pumper "Coinada" (BitSwift Dev) who happened to send a communication to MrBoh confirming that Dan Metcalf was the anon developer for HAL. Why don't you target the journalists that have written stories on that?

"thought some of you here would find this interesting considering Dan gave XST the stellar review"
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=681725.msg8806666#msg8806666

translation? paid review to justify their stealthcoin pump

What's even funnier is the bullshit SDC fud thread which was started by the LXC dev. Here we have a case of 2 developers (LXC + SWIFT) busy scamming and scheming the crypto community. I would not be surprised if you were Coinada using a bitchmade account to throw out allegations to cover your own ass. More than likely you're one of TrangLee's shill accounts a known sockpuppet of Bob's pump and dump group.

PoopieLaxitive31 = KidCrypto (the developer of LXC) started that entire thread was created by the developer of Librexcoin. Another Bob Surplus pump and dump exposed by MrBoh back in August:

My full response to their FUD on their shill thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=818939.msg9416289#msg9416289

Bottom line is you are just as guilty of scamming as those pump groups and you are no doubt in league with them by spreading misinformation like this to distract people from the real scams going on.

LXC, XST, SWIFT, Blocknet all BobSurplus plays and the cycle continues to repeat itself. People like Boh exposing them and people like yourself distracting people from the truth.

This is the last communication I'll make on this thread. I've got far better things to do than entertain your bitchmade tin foil hat conspiracy.

i already pointed out the coinsource guy is a corrupt lying noob.
he is also a coin cloner and scammer.

not sure how many times i have to type out a giant wall of text none of you give a fuck about LOL

summary.. little shit shows up here in Dec2013 then starts coin cloning and then with IPO's etc
then he has the bright idea to approve coins ROFL

if that doesn't clue you all in nothing will..

1. At least look at my post history if you're going to accuse me of hiding behind a fake account. For a start, my account was created over a month ago long before SDC orchestrated a full blown fud-attack on Blocknet, XC and Dan Metcalf. And my post history is full of support of XC and Blocknet.  I lurked these forums for a couple months before joining. This is stated in my post history. So how exactly is this a 'bitchmade troll' account?

2. You stated that Aleppo's XST article lacks integrity. Fair enough. But that exchange occurred on 10th October. Perhaps this is when you reached out to him about becoming your socket puppet. Possibly in exchange for inside knowledge of when you plan to dump your SDC because at this point his interest in SDC is obvious from his articles. Or maybe he's just on the payroll. In fact just 2 days after you questioning his integrity he publishes an article whereby he defends the actions of the SDC trolls (which includes you) in your smear campaign against XST. The timing is astonishing. Why was he chosen to write it if you apparently questioned his integrity?

3. Your next point is about the "fud" surrounding XST which you guys deny. Honestly I don't know enough about the ins n outs to comment on that. My interests lie with XC and Blocknet.

4. My point about you following each other on Twitter is just one piece of the puzzle. There are many allegations and evidence against you being one of the main perpetrators in this smear campaign against blocknet, XC and Dan. So the guy who happens to follow you on Twitter, and vice-versa, just so happens to be the author of this disgraceful article against Dan and Blocknet? Bare in mind that this journalist follows approx 10 or so traders out of thousands around so you gotta admit it's a crazy "coincidence". At the end of the day he has published so much stuff linked to your agenda. What's the deal with you 2? why do you follow him, he tweets fuck all.


5. Can you point me to those articles? I honestly haven't seen them.

6. First I'm coinada and now I'm tranglee? Would you like to add anymore people to that list? Sounds like we have matching tin-foil hats. Check my post history before coming out with these accusations.

7. Dude, you claim that I'm making baseless allegations when your post is full of them. I'm actually proud of myself for coming across as this super-involved pumper because I'm actually quite new to the scene. ;D I followed the XC and Blocknet threads exclusively from June til this smear campaign emerged.

Good night sir. Will return tomorrow to check for updates.

Where have you pointed this out, link please??

Spoetnik is deeply in love with Coins Source. Really wish i could reciprocate those feelings to you over a Phone chat... as i sit here waiting for (edit) the* phone call.


Here's the thread referencing Spotneik's Passion for Coins Source:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=716264.msg8562944#msg8562944

tk808, Thank you for taking the time to respond to my PM. I had a long-winded response but won't send it as I see you've pulled the article.

FWIW, I've read many good, informative and unbiased articles on your website. I commend you on that. I've particularly enjoyed the XC articles you've published in the past being an XC investor. However, all the positive news pertaining to XC has been completely wiped out and made redundant by this one appalling article by Aleppo. A lot of people in crypto are just casual investors who have read that article and now associate Dan Metcalf with the word scam and have already exited his projects and won't ever be back. What's done is done.

You might not think there's anything sinister behind Aleppo's motives but the trail of evidence against him is quite compelling. At the very least he is an extremely poor journalist. Read his other articles, especially the market analysis sections - He always speculates on a coins potential value. I don't believe a journalist should ever do this as it amounts to offering financial advice based on their own opinion. Anyway I'll drop this Aleppo vendetta. Regardless of his questionable morals, he's still a very poor journalist. I will be keeping a very close eye on him.

I still think you should issue a public statement with an apology to Dan Metcalf. If the world of crypto is ever to be taken seriously then we need to hold ourselves to the same standards as other industries. If a newspaper wrote such libelous claims based on such conjecture then they would be forced to publish a public apology. CoinsSource should do the same.

i am REALLY sick of dealing with this scammy fucker and his antics and games AND for taking the back lash for warning you guys
and then to add insult injury you guys ignoring me 100% until someone else comes along and says oh hey looks like he was right all along.

reality check.

ALL these fuckers are corrupt deceitful pieces of shit and if you start digging you find pretty well none of them are honest.
greed and anonymity does not mix.. all you have to do is come here and lie your ass off and confuse little stupid pricks with too much money and not enough brains.

by the way if you Google'd it or even tried to use the search function it would have come up but lets get real here guys..
not one of you out there gives a flying fuck who a scammer is ..as long as it pads your wallet you turn your head and look the other way.
nothing is going to change that is how this pathetic ponzi scheme "coins" bullshit works.

a bunch of competing groups of corrupt assholes and funny enough most of them are named Dan LOL

just ignore me and be optimistic and invest in faggy shitcoin scheme no. 1,999
eat your hotdog and i will try not to tell you how it's made but don't lie to me about what it's in them ;)

smooth over your shit to pad your wallet ? i don't fucking think so buddy.. you know damn well what you can do but you won't because it'll fuck up your cred here.
i gave you your chance and then i gave you another and THEN you decided to be big ass cocky mouthy little asshole and pretend i didn't give the first warning. (with other guys)
3rd time i'm done with you buddy no more bullshit.. i don't care what you think.. kiss my ass.

you have demonstrated extreme dishonesty and a massive wall of two faced attitude..
ass kissing and playing dumb or outright aggressive denial and attacking with lies.
you act like a 16 yr old on the best of days and 9 yr old caught with his hand in the cookie jar on bad days.

if your did that i have no trust in your fleet of IPO coins and their rather subtle connected shit services.
fuck your little empire of scammy clone coin bullshit and your noob ass wannabee POD scheme pal.
and the rest of you supporting this idiot ? well lay down with dogs you get fleas.. enjoy.

and all the rest of you need to smarten up and pay attention i warned you all when he showed up in December to deaf ears..

oh yeaaaah i REALLY want to talk to this fucker on the phone LOL

I take everything you say with a pinch of salt. It seems you have a vendetta against anything and anyone that doesn't directly benefit your own interests. You're completely unable to engage in constructive discussion, hurling insults at everyone. All your posts are loaded with such vitriol and hatred. I really hope, for your sake, your online persona doesn't match your real life one because you will lead a very sad and lonely life.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=270852.1165

that is my confrontation with him on the Securecoin issue back in May (the SECOND TIME) (i don't see the first time on Google *yet)
the first time was at least 2/3 before that roughly..

i brought that up as a perfect example of extreme dishonesty and scammy antics etc etc

when i originally had my first run in with him about Secure coin it was with maybe around 10 other guys who backed me up..
random guys here who seen what i did and agreed unanimously what he did was so stupid (or scammy) we all lined up to take turns laughing at him.
he was sooooooo apologetic it was hilarious he kept saying it was an accident and that he didn't mean to to do it (re-use a trade symbol in use already)
and hey maybe it was an accident but it was funny and at least a bit fishy factoring in the circumstances..
i honestly figured he was just an idiot because he popped up in December. (but after i told him and he kept doing it was for sure doing it on purpose)

back then while apologizing he started saying he would fix this trade symbol problem before he launched his coin..
you see he did not add it to any exchanges yet etc and it was a pre-ann IPO shit clone topic of sorts..
he SWORE he would fix it and apologized to us all..

2/3 months later i see SRC added to Poloniex and i am like what the fuck ???????? like seriously ????
We fucking TOLD HIM !
he and polo never bothered to check either and when i told Polo three months later as the mods kept hiding when i brought it up..
when i corned a Polo mod on the matter 2 or 3 times they got lippy and played dumb about it and the best i could get out of them was "ok" (ONE TIME)
and they went on for another couple months leaving exactly as i warned them it was.. they knew they didn't care.. the coin creator knew and did it on purpose.
if it was not a problem then why is it changed now ?

so when i seen it listed on poloniex he got extremely mouthy this time (this time i was speaking by myself in the ANN section with no back up unlike last time)
and all of a sudden noob dummy accounts started popping up instantly calling me names
trying to discredit me as hard at they could and he denied any of that convo happened before and that i made it all up and that i was a troll etc.
and no i sure as fucking hell don't appreciate that one god damn bit !

He knew damn well i was telling the truth 100% and he has the nerve to spout off back then and have me trolled with shell accounts ? gimme a break !
And Polo .. lol nice surprise there, guys you think they give a shit ? not bloody likely.. smug ass ocker exchange pricks ..the usual dick head exchange bullshit !

then later he comes out with changes to try and distance himself as much as possible from Secure Coin dropping using the Term "Source Coin" and playing dumb (as much as possible)

then the kicker is after all that shit while still a coin cloning noob he takes it upon himself to start POD service (guess who's clone coins are checked out ?)
the nerve wow ! ..the audacity and the gall of this little fucker LOL

that was far more than enough for me to see he has no fucking credibility.. he has demonstrated crystal clear extreme dishonesty
when your a coin cloner who is pretty much caught using tons of accounts here and you JUST got here ..do i have to spell it the fuck out ?
looks like i did........... yet again  ::)

and that is why he played dumb..
that is why all these fuckers here play dumb.. busted with scammy shit then they sweep it up and and cover it up and play stupid..

and do it ALL OVER AGAIN once people are looking the other way.

this guys trade mark MO is wait, launch, hide/stay low-key for a while then come back then hide and on and on.. round & round.
this story shows how if a bunch of us confronted him and how he then he came clean
and said sorry profusely but when confronted by one guy he just played dumb and attacked & trolled.
because he thought he could get away with it obviously.

Please do keep a eye on him but were pretty harsh from what i've read ...

edit : "he's still a very poor journalist" how so ? is this a opinion BTC fact ?It seems as if you had targeted him because of that one article and i haven't even seen his name on the forum anywhere ???

alessandro should be fired for what he has done. Purely unprofessional what he did, and it doesn't help the fact that a cryoto news website also became a medium for spreading FUD which should have never happened without looking at all the facts and information. Not only did the FUD put a bad taste in people's mouth on BTC talk, but now even the casual players in crypto may think wrongly of XC and BlockNET. Extremely disappointed in coin source, its lost all its legitimacy for news at this point. I know things have been made right, but I don't understand how that could even be accepted onto the website. You guys do have a review process dont you??

Everything everyone posts here is an opinion. I'm sure many others agree with my opinion. This "one" article has done irreparable damage to an innocent mans business and personal reputation. Read the OP, there are other articles too.

This is one of the most hilarious things I've ever read (taken from a different article):


This shows he has very little grasp of the nature of crypto markets. I mean "a distictive increase in value with the price rising to 18k" from 17k satoshis. How the fuck is that a distictive increase especially after plummeting from 66k?! I've never read such junk in my life. I mean the price probably changed from 18k while he was writing the article. He either has a poor understanding of crypto markets or he has bias towards SDC. Either of which would mean he is a poor journalist. There are also very strong indications he is influenced by pump 'n' dumpers if you read the OP.

This. Whatever about Allesadero, there must be a news editor on the site who okays the articles to be published. They really dropped the ball on this one hence why they withdrew the article. That is not enough though. They should issue a public apology for presenting a biased and unbalanced article that didn't present all the facts or allow Dan to counter all the allegations before its publication.

Also the CEO of CoinsSource has commented in this thread and hasn't refuted any of the claims. What does that tell you?

Allesadero is a known friend of TrollsRoyce who is a major bagholder of Shadow. Shadow's bagholders whales often pay to have SDC favorable items posted. They payed a news site to run a story announcing they released the 1st Android staking wallet. This wallet that was posted to the Android store 4 days after LibreCoin released their which was the real 1st coin staking Android wallet.  :-\

+1 but still emotions should not be put infront of facts

No i just don't mind these claims, everyone is entitled to their opinion and whatever else, there is nothing i can do to stop it. On Bitcointalk anyone is free to express their opinion good or bad, fud or not. This is just the unregulated, decentralized nature of digital currencies.  

In this scenario, i believe you are pretty much wasting your time with this situation. There was 1 mishap with shadowcoin article where it did not get cross-examined by our editors, and we apologized for that. Everything else will remain consistent with what we've done and tried to achieve.


(edit) Personally, I don't appreciate this skepticism, and fact-less based arguments. I sent you a very thorough response through PM, and yet you've not inclined to quote it any shape or manner.

Spoetnik already crowned himself king when it comes to this sort of thing, i don't foresee any uprising against him soon for that throne.

10 pages+

:D

Whats with all the newbie accounts? Grow up and get some real evidence because all you have is conjecture.. If a few people and an article can upset your business, it wasn't that strong or good to begin with.

So go outside, get some fresh air, stop lying and clutching at straws!! If you supported decent projects without premine and all this offering gimmick. You might not even have this issue, so really its you own fault. Own it and move on!

Altcoin scene has been taken advantage of during the past year by many of these pump and dump groups completely. Now that the blood is thin and no one is falling for their schemes, they turn on each other.

Real money is watching. They are not impressed, to say the least.

I know you responded and I've already acknowledged that in this thread. I didn't post it because it doesn't address any of the claims made in this thread. Claims backed by strong evidence. These claims revolve around your website giving someone a platform to publicize their own biased agenda. Here was your unsatisfactory response:


Even you laughed at the stupidity of Aleppo's market analysis.

"Personally, I don't appreciate this skepticism, and fact-less based arguments." Which is ironic because that is the basis of the original article that was published on YOUR website. And please stop with the condescending "king" remark. This all comes to an end on my part when 2 things happen:

1. CoinsSource issue an apology on their website and twitter stating that the original article presented an unbalanced and biased opinion and that you should've waited for Dan to respond to all the allegations before prematurely publishing it.

2. No more articles by Aleppo Allesadero appear on your website.

This is how you write an article btw:

Try to learn something from them.

you deceitful coward.

Have you anything to say for yourself?

These FUDders are pathitics lolll

https://www.reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/comments/2lalt4/chronology_of_the_smear_campaign_against_the/


Article actually written by xc spin doctor!  :D

You are really clutching at straws now, you just render your arguments invalid every time! You have zero proof of anything..Give up, you lose, deal with it like a man instead of a 9 year old! Hell i know 9 y/o that deal with fail better then you. I'd be ashamed of yourself if i was you. Wouldn't surprise me one bit if that hits you soon and you neck yourself!

Guess you didn't read the full article.



Aleppo's article included no such disclosure. His would've read:

"I'm an unethical journalist so don't believe a word I write"


Check mate

Guess you didn't read the reddit comments. The article wasn't published under his name, he added it as a comment after some guy took him to task on reddit about it. Look at the times. Isn't this kinda double standards on your part? Do you work for xc? Not being funny, it's just your reaction's not very natural and you seem to be deliberately trying to mislead people here.

Haha you SDC trolls are really losing it.

Your smear campaign has completely unravelled. Love it!  ;D

aaaaaaaaaand its gone! trying to buy BLOCK! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPvs9XjHOkI

This guy sums it up pretty well.

Yet ANOTHER incriminating post by Aleppo:

https://i.imgur.com/xy25cWq.jpg?2

You formed the opinion that refunds should be given out on the Blocknet. This was before you published the article. How is it possible to write an unbiased and balanced piece when you have already stated that there should be a refund? Your article deliberately aimed to defame Dan Metcalf's character and so too the Blocknet project.

I've been criticised in this thread for not providing proof and basing everything off my own opinion. The above screenshots is IRREFUTABLE PROOF! Do you have anything to say in your defence, Aleppo? Although, how does one defend the indefensible. You've seen all the above proof and yet refuse to respond. Your silence speaks volumes.


tk808 - Do you have anything to say in light of this proof? Will you still continue to publish Aleppo's articles now that it has been proven he uses your website as a medium to project his own agenda? What is your vetting process for journalists to write for you, it seems you allow anyone to write any old shit.

its fun to watch so many assholes use words like 'defame' and slander when it doesnt amount to shit.  ;D

A wild supernet shill appears! I understand you do some sort of pr work for supernet?

And to your comment - did you have the same response when people accused supernet of being a scam? Hypocrite

Hi,
im not being deceitful in any way my post history is public.
It seems as if you have a personal vendetta against me which you claimed to have "dropped" which is why i talked in 3rd person about myself or else bias and emotion would have come into play when you made judgments on me.

~A.A~ #career not dead yet

You came into this thread and deliberately tried to give the impression that you aren't Aleppo. That is deceitful. I said I dropped it, yes, but that was before I discovered the irrefutable proof.

I don't know you at all. Your name hadn't even registered on my radar until you wrote that disgraceful agenda-driven article. In fact, knowing these new facts about you, one would have to say you're the one with the personal vendetta against Dan (or else it was for financial gain). You haven't even tried to counter any of the proof.

What was the content of your PM to NoMoreLies by the way? For anyone reading who might need context: 'NoMoreLies' is an account created when the fud-storm against Dan, XC and Blocknet all started. The account was solely used to spam the forum with baseless allegations against Dan and his projects. Aleppo stated in one of 'NoMoreLies'' threads that "Yep the money should be handed back over" in relation to the Blocknet funds. In the main "Scam" thread, created by 'NoMoreLies' (who is more than likely TrollsRoyce) you commented 'Check pm NoMoreLies mate i sent you a message :D'. This was the night before your article was published. No doubt the contents of that pm is about the article and you were sending it to him to go over before publishing it on CoinsSource. You even quoted 'NoMoreLies' in the article. It's so ironic his handle is 'NoMoreLies' btw! :D

Your career is not dead yet but I haven't even started. When I get time this week, I'll be putting together all the facts in a balanced and unbiased article that I'll put up on some blog hosting website. This will serve as a deterrent to any prospective employer who does an ounce of research on you. It will show just how 'credible' a journalist you really are. I'll post a link to it in response to any 'Aleppo Allesadero' article that appears online. This will allow your audience to know that you have a history of corruption and your word is not to be trusted.

It will be interesting to hear tk808's take on the matter.

NomoreLies is a confirmed SDC troll. Three of my posts in the BlockNET scam thread have been deleted. Their agenda is clear that at this point they only want more FUD to pile up into that thread. There is no denying the fact that Alessandro has ties to SDC. I am just trying to figure out what he has at stake with SDC, if he is involved in their inner circle of pumpers, scammers and trolls or if he has been paid a hefty sum to follow the SDC agenda and write about what ever they are trying to push. Either way, I would like coin source to issue an apology statement about that article and also see it that Alessandro is fired for his unprofessional journalism.

The PM was asking for a statement on the scam accusation like a brief interview i had even confirmed with TK that i would be using the source and he didn't mind, i can't share the communication i had when we confirmed as ive signed a NDA with him...

"Yep the money should be handed back over", just my opinion besides i could accuse you of the same thing promoting this article: http://www.cryptoarticles.com/crypto-news/chronology-of-the-smear-campaign-against-the-blocknet
which claims the whole incident was part of a smear campaign ...

Btw i had no prior knowledge of NoMoreLies previous incidents or his background so please do not pair us together for the wrong reasons.

I CAN PUT MY HAND ON MY HEART AND SAY I HAVE NOT ACCEPTED A SINGLE SATOSHI/DOLLAR FROM SDC
believe me or not its your call at the end of the day

btw Profx im fired from CS what can i do to prove that i have no ties to SDC :?

edit - ib88 your post history is pretty much XC and Blocknet i understand you have everything to lose i can sympathize with you and your position but these continuous attacks are a sign of desperation. I have never made any direct threat to you not even a hint yet you continue to attack...   

You still trying to pin all this on Shadow project..Like it somehow hurts it and thus hurts us! Kid you're way out of your league!

ib88, you have covered this topic very well. I'm glad that things are slowly being resolved. Just to point out to what ib88 mentioned, you seriously bought information from a troll??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

It would take 2 seconds to realize the account 'NoMoreLies' was created for the SOLE PURPOSE of destroying XC. Any logical journalist would have gotten much more information on the story instead of doing what you did. Whether you are with SDC or not (as you claim), its being naive, lazy and unprofessional on your part. You deserve everything that has happened to you. I hope you learn from your lesson here, and also if you were involved in SDC, they could say goodbye to their media connection.

Thanks. I've put a lot of time and effort into this because cryptocurrencies will never ever be taken seriously if the people involved don't hold themselves to the same standards as other industries. The crytpo scene is akin to the Wild Wild West at the moment. It's sad that an apparently reputable site such as CoinsSource can just print such unfounded crap. News sites like CS have a responsibility to present information as truthfully as possible, without bias, to potential investors. I commend the ideals behind CS as their influence in bringing new investors to the scene cannot be underestimated.

Reality--------------------------------------------------------------What you think

The thing is I've tried to engage in constructive discussion with you but you make it impossible. You don't back your opinion up with any reasoning whatsoever. This topic sought to show how incredibly unprofessional it was to print that article. This has proven to be the case - CoinsSource withdrew the article and fired Aleppo Allesadero. So I don't see how your post makes any sense. If anything your post reflects you.

And back to this point. It's in Aleppo's interests to claim ignorance than to admit being corrupted by an agenda-driven group of scumbags. I'd take everything he says with a pinch of salt.  ;)

intelligence-----------------------------------------------------------where you are

TK808 - Co-founder and CEO of CoinsSource has indeed responded to my PM so apologies to him for claiming he's ignoring me. I assumed he'd want to respond publicly in this thread so didn't expect a PM. Here's what he had to say:







tk - I still believe a public apology to Dan and his respective projects is in order but I commend you on taking action against Aleppo.


Aleppo Allesadero, it seems you have precedence for poor journalism. I hope prospective employers see this and you never work in journalism again.

Justice.

For that one article you want to ruin my whole career ??? you said yourself 99% are fine

edit ~ I can forgive you, as you clearly seem to harsh. You did what you had to do to get me fired i understand.
im not going to take revenge or threaten you etc etc, im simply not like that, you can believe i have ties to SDC and more but in reality ive never been paid by them

the best comment i have read since this whole story has come out.
