Hello, I have great experience with crypto dating back to 2013. I'll be PMing you with my advice in regards to running a bounty. Let me know if you'd be interested.

+33% in a day!

So, the attack also targeted pools and miners to only allow the hackers to benefit from the low difficulty?

Those hackers planned ahead.

What's to say that others didn't also benefit from this? Wasn't the chain open for anyone to mine on those algos? If the difficulty went down with an exploit, it went down for everyone. Right?

You can use  my address that's also in the OP. I promise I'll cash out imminently.

Thanks for the merit!
I made this post because because many new users to crypto are falling for the trap of such groups. I'm thankful for the appreciation.

In the case of pump&dump, it's not advice. It's an orchestrated group effort to drive the price up. Those giving the information out NEED others to join. The dream scenario those try to perpetuate is that speculators & outsiders will get in and those being aware of the pump will profit. But that's not what happens most of the time. The price might go up very briefly but only a minority can profit from this. Even if volumes are big, some have to end up losing and usually it's the participants in the group other than the admins.

In this case the "pump" I observed was a great failure in all its aspects.

A friend sent me an image from a pump group as I was selling some BTC on his behalf. Look at this timeline of events of this pump to find out how pump and dump groups scam people.

"Oh, since you're trading on Cryptopia check this out". 

                                                            "Haha ok" 

I didn't try to take part in the pump but I just observed the results. Volumes on Cryptopia remained low.

This is an hour and a half after the pump.

Those are the trades relevant to the pump. Starting only seconds after it was announced.


This is the message the "pump group" admin had 40 minutes after announcement:


Copied by my friend on our Skype convo because I'm not following the telegram Channel of the group.
This is what I had to say to my friend.


Takeaways from this post:
The volumes remained low. The trades taking place only peaked for 3 minutes, starting only a few seconds after the announcement. Before the announcement the previous trade was at 149 sats. The end report is obviously an exaggeration and blatant lie when volumes are so low. Not to mention that most of the participants of this group are fake anyway, but withing 3 minutes and with volumes so low it's obvious that something suspicious is happening here. It's very likely that the admins of that group simply offload on people for profit. As it would happen with any such scam. Archive of the cryptopia API here.

Note: the API uses UNIX time, I've calculated the timezone differences from the images.

Thanks, that's useful.

Anyone can tell me how much I'd earn for folding with this at 200k PPD?

Live now

Not to defend Waves but at least it delivered on SOME promises and has a functional platform.

Mycelium raised more than 5000 BTC and mismanaged funds.

Over those years:
No promises covered
No profit from wallet (no business model either)
No major developments
Burned through most of the funds (allegedly)
Miscalculation of how long anything would take to develop (can't even allocate the team to implement segwit)

Mycelium supposedly employees a development team and yet feature releases are so slow... Is there any oversight? Are those devs incompetent? Who knows... Not even their 'management' knew back in the day.

Also allegedly, the CEO decided to sell the raised BTC at a dip somehwere around 600$ per BTC. I don't know if it's true or just a story they try to sell to make courts have more leniency on them, but let's suppose that it's true.

If they were burning through their BTC reserves slowly at least they would have had more than 10x the funds to sustain development by now.

Would love to take part! Let me have 0

Are you looking to farm CLAMs?

Better have a board on hardware wallets early IMO, there's no reason to wait until everyone has them because it that becomes the case bitcointalk would no lose that kind of traffic and crowd.

Nevertheless I think that it would be good to have all those discussions in one place. It makes the experience more user-friendly and also might even incentivize further use.

Telegram allows for the deletion of messages. Here's an archive of Mycelium's Telegram group (@MyceliumWallet).

For future reference. Be it lulz, courts, a combination of the two or anything else.

It would depend in the coin's past history.

Does it simply need to be released? Compile the wallet, get a genesis block, perhaps set up some peers as well, and release it. Ideally you'd also want a windows client and a pool or two upon release.

Do you want to fork it? Then you would also have to get miners to agree with you.
