How about just create a new genesis block and call it chocolatecoin?
Won't work, all his backdoors / tricks are still in the code - the code can't be trusted in its current state.

Yup, thats him, read up on his threads, you'll find his name and pic linked on many pages. However, it's not him alone, as said before, he's not the brightest person, he won't be fully responsible for all that stuff. I actually feel a bit sorry for him. He looks like he was badly bullied when he was a kid. That hair..... I feel for him too. He's probably one of those folks having a big mouth via the Internet but he runs away when he stands in front of you Guys just wanna say thanks for saving me 2 BTC.
Glad there are people like Ocminer and the other which still point on this scams.
Thanks!
Pleasure !

Quoted from other Thread as some people like to "takeover" the coin:
I've thought about this, but it would be necessary to fork away from "his" code into a trusted coinbase setup as he simply could have coded too many "backdoors" into his code.. It was him obviously very easy possible to fork off pools and bigger miners from "his" chain and make "his" chain the valid one, even if the "bad pool" had much more power than him, this should never be possible for any coin.. not with > 51% of the power of the net and of course not with less..
I see lots of problems with the current code.
It would be very important to port XVC to a recent bitcoin/litecoin or even zcash coinbase

What makes you think declouds fits in here too?
I remember people were pointing out that there were similarities between the opair scammer and declouds. it was being said on the declouds thread. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1552176.1080also the use of the "legendary" account as well. the declouds scammer apparently used a similar linked in profile to the opair one https://www.linkedin.com/in/stas-nikolaev- declouds https://www.linkedin.com/in/frankhrettig opair notice they both used: I´m an accomplished IT professional with vast experience in the development and delivery of IT solutions Since 2012 I have been interested in Bitcoin and, especially in the blockchain technology. / Since 2013 I have been interested iin the blockchain technology. It's just little details that give out the distinct impression that it's the same person who is modifying parts of a script to carry out different scams. Hmm interesting.. so this turns out to be a very well organized scam over the years.. IF the gets caught in the right country and IF you can find definite proofs which lead to him, he'll be in jail for a long time, thats for sure. nah, he fucked up with the fake pictures in the declouds scam. that what led him to being discovered. But he's learning and getting better from scam to scam and what is really infuriating is that you have all these idiots on here that are just eager to throw money at scammers despite being warned that a project is clearly a scam. Look at how Deadbirdzz got called a fudder and now he has red trust on his account despite being right. Granted, DeadBirdzz is slightly crazy and rude but all the same..... And that fucking PLacebo needs to be tracked as well. Am sure somebody somewhere lost enough money in his scams and is highly motivated to have some quality time with him. WHen the BTC value goes through the fucking roof, believe me, a lot of people who lost money in scams will start getting very very angry. Yup, I absolutely agree, well I have placebo on ignore for quite some time, as he's the major king of shilling for "his" ICO's and he's also a master chief in badmouthing all POW coins, he does that badmouthing on a regular basis before he starts an ICO. I saw some posts from placebo the last days in a lot of threads but due to the fact I'm ignoring him, I didn't actually see/read what he wrote, usually he's calling me Mr. POW Scammer - ZEC, ZCL, ZDASH etc. are all invented by me and I made tons of money with it would be his opinion or at at least the story he'd be trying to sell He has a looooong history in this forum, just type "placebo bitcointalk" on google and you'll also find his real name, his address and also a picture from him. He could be very well at least connected to those ICO's somehow, but from what I know he's only a poor sucker, hey but that shouldn't allow him to do anything of this of course. Yeah bitcointalk is like wild west - moderation is very low, trojans/viruses aren't removed as so aren't obvious scams.. It's up to the community to get those scams revealed but unfortunately most of the users happily trust the scammers but not the legendary's :-( Well... After a few days these threads will be somewhere at page 10-15 and those scammers will just start a new ICO. Rinse and Repeat, thats how it is for the last 3-4 years.

John deleted the official vcash forum and now redirects to a different, old forum. This reminds me of the equinox dev some time ago: And to the guy who is the moderator of the unofficial, moderated xvc thread: When will you finally stop deleting posts in the thread, when will you be man enough to face the truth that John dumped and when will you wake up. You're not better than John by covering his back. Are you that naive? Do you not know that is Emilio Mann using a domain name registered to John Connor? Emilio ? Hmm.. I wasn't aware he was actually moderating the thread, I thought he is/was a clever guy.. Ok, thanks for clearing that up.

All services are paid. Even the law eforcement in countries are paid with people money (taxpayers). That "Crypto Task Force" of yours is a great idea. I hope it will reduce the number of people getting scammed.
Believe me, we can do a lot of positive things for the community. Personally I've warned people for scams and failures worth over $200 million... Let's start a crypted telegram or signal group
Well actually i've warned too, but 90% of the folks who actually got warned even call me a fudder or simply say I have "FOMO" and now I FUD the coin.. Of course those guys are silent NOW but it doesn't help when you try to warn people and immediately get negative comments about the warnings... I'm really serious about this and I think its safe to name the 2 guys, which are up to. Those are cryptodevil and Gleb Gamow. But a lot of things need to be cleared out first. The idea about payments was mine, but it's not all about the money... It surely be good to have a group of "counsellors" ... Crypto-Trust

Cryptoasian #2 ? Proof Of Developer Nah. More like a team with people who are 9th dan black belt in Google Fu. Btw, this Ebitz thing is nothing compared to what we have found so far. It's not here on the forum, because the information is extremely sensitive and a lot more work must be done. Let's start a crypted telegram or signal group

Cyprto world sucks. Some people commit a crime and get away just like that with people money they robbed. And victims can't do anything. No sue, no trial, no court, no jail. Maybe it's time for the crypto community to start focus on developing a system like law enforcement to protect people money from being robbed by unresponsible scammer instead of just focusing on developing new coins only. There are hundreds of coins already. And hundreds of scams also. But never heard of scammers get jailed for their crime.
I'm currently developing the idea for something like a "Crypto Task Force", which will likely operate under @FAILCommunity's wing. So far I have principle agreement with 2 Legendary members, which are well known scambusters. 3 more members are considered and 2 of them said they are interested. But this will be probably a paid service, since a real investigation requires a lot of time and researching. Cryptoasian #2 ? Proof Of Developer

I was expecting source code to be released a few days before launch as you've stated
Hey! The source should be released one day before the ICO ends. That would be on friday 15:00 GMT+0 We decidided to start the wrapper blockchain one day before the ICO ends. This means our blockchain will start moving this Friday. Exact hours will be given Thursday.
Ah, then I misinterpreted some testing that was going on.. I thought the source was available (for them) already.

I invested some too, how can I get it back ? How can I reach the Dev ?
so you give a thief BTC and you expect the scammer to give you your money back? you're a special kind of stupid aren't you? how can a scammer simply do his business here ? somebody has to check if everything is legit ! And this, everyone, is the reason why blockchain technology has a problem with mass adoption. Perfect. Well.. Maybe SOME kind of moderation wouldn't be THAT bad when money is involved...

As I keep getting questions about this, you can use anonymous mining on suprnova in the meanwhile too, even with ethos and/or claymore:
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -zwal Yt1uaa4yJuwDvErGbzVERx69zt9qsaZZpMYG -zpsw anything
And you even set you a static diff for your worker with d=XX as password like so:
ZecMiner64.exe -zpool zec.suprnova.cc:2142 -zwal Yt1uaa4yJuwDvErGbzVERx69zt9qsaZZpMYG -zpsw d=256
Quoting this for awareness as there are still questions coming up

pointless accusing thread. u can set static diff..that said this thread aims something else.
Hardly pointless as I was having an issue and seeking advice as well as wondering if others were experiencing this. OP is using nicehash port for some reason.
edit: change your port to 2142, 2143 is high difficulty port for nicehash miners.
Huh strange, it worked all this time without fault. As you suggested I changed the port to 2142 and it's working much better now. Diff currently is 1088H. Many thanks for your help! EDIT: now there's another strange problem - before I was getting about 190H/s with Claymore v8. Now I've changed ports and the difficulty is lower, I'm only seeing a hashrate of 160 H/s See here is the problem. When you set diff too low your card has to work harder having to reset job after share submittal thus causing a loss in hr because of the time it takes to submit a share You will always gain a little hr by setting a high diff share but it has a limit. You need to be able to submit at least one share per 2.5 min with bad luck. So I'd say you need to be able to submit one share every 20 seconds. So I'd have my diff set at max 20x my hashrate so that in the case of 10x luck share it at least has a chance unlike the 140x vardiff port. Most likely you will see a block change before you submit a share.. 140x leaves no room for bad luck causes more rejects and the weight of those rejects are much heavier. If the network diff wasn't rising like mad it wouldn't matter since variance would all even out. But that's not the case A truly good pool will allow us to set our own diff. Anyone know of a pool that allows me to set my own diff? That would be ideal situation Maybe dwarfpool implement this. I will test them for a few days. Pps when diff is skyrocketing only makes sense anyway BR You guys never read the Getting started pages or the ann threads, huh ? Look here: https://zec.suprnova.cc/index.php?page=gettingstartedSearch for "Static diff" or look here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1656416.msg16867439#msg16867439You can set your own diff on suprnova through the password field.. Just use d=500 for example as password (no matter what your real worker password is) and you have a static diff of 500 for your rig
