BCX, we'd like to formally respond to this -

So what was your reason for attacking Monero and refusing to allow devs to fix your exploit?  

They claim they've already TW proofed XMR and do not need any help.

~BCX~

In your post on September 17th you stated that you had found very specific exploits in Monero. Immediately, and in direct response to you, we asked if you could disclose the vulnerability to us privately so we could fix it. You did not respond to our request.

Subsequent to that post, in which you stated that you had no need or desire to attack Monero, you announced that you would be attacking Monero, and gave us 72 hours notice. At no point since we asked if you would disclose the exploit privately to us did we, formally or informally, claim that we had "TW proofed XMR". As it states in our ANN on Bitcointalk: "the official core team members are (in no particular order) - tacotime, eizh, smooth, fluffypony, othe, davidlatapie, NoodleDoodle". We cannot control what anyone else says of Monero, and if anyone has implied or stated that a TW-style attack is impossible that is not a view that we share. We are not naive enough to state that Monero is anything-proof, and we cannot categorically state that you do or do not have an exploit as you have not disclosed any details to us.

In addition, we have said and continue to say that Monero is alpha-level software, and is nowhere near the level of maturity Bitcoin has (and Bitcoin itself is considered beta software by its developers). We regularly have people providing assistance to the project, be it financial or direct effort or the imparting of some unique observation to us. We warmly invite and encourage assistance from everyone. We would never reject the offer of help unless we had a very specific reason to do so, and we most certainly do not reject your offer of help. We want to continue to make Monero better, and so any assistance you or anyone else can provide is deeply appreciated by us all.

Therefore, we openly and kindly invite you to disclose the details of the exploit to us privately so we may analyse and fix any exploits that may exist. You may do so by sending a private message to this account, sending a private message to any of the named core team members as listed above, or sending an email to dev@monero.cc


Wow 25+ pages have been added to this thread since I have checked last. bcx should send the monero guys a bill for pr. Poloniex has definitley made a few more btc off this whole bcx thing with near tripling of volume pre bcx. But nonetheless it certainly is appearing that the Monero team isn't as confident that no exploit is happening as the bagholders are.




Bagholders? I was kinda following your drift until you dropped the 'B' word - always a sign of malicious intent.

It goes without saying that all threats to any system's stability should be treated seriously - whether that be a terrorist threat to nation's borders, or a threat to an individual's life, or a situation like this.

Monero commands a market cap of close to $5 million. It is only reasonable that a responsible development team would treat the matter as seriously as the defense force of a nation state would treat intelligence of malicious intent against it. I can't see it occurring in any other light - how would you like the situation to manifest itself? Anything in particular you have in mind?

It is worth remembering that Monero is functioning, as intended.

Until that changes, where is the story? Would you like to talk about the questionable virtues of an ego-driven malady of an individual that cares not for the fortunes of a currency that seeks to be anti-bank, anti-government, pro-libertarian, and pro-anonimity. Who is BCX working for anyway? Does he even care about anyone other than his own glutenous ego?

Perhaps in time, BCX will transpire as being a force for ultimate good, constructive and positive. After all, an all-weather test for Monero is actually incredibly helpful moving on into the future.

But until then, lets just keep sight of what defines 'considerate constructivity' and what defines 'opportunistic cuntishness'.

DISCLAIMER: I'm not affiliated with any entity - merely an observer.

Coinhumper is one of BCX's many sockpuppets. Just look at his post history. He posts almost exclusively in threads where BCX also posts.

According to whom?  I think they might feel like they've uncovered some potential issues.  You demanded forced evolution.

I don't recall reading anything indicating that the dev team was ready to start licking each others' popsicles and throwing a victory party.  Certainly, that attitude exists, but, shit, trolling is everywhere.  Hard to demand forced evolution of the user/speculator base.


Try this.

~BCX~



Its over.  TW attacks will never again work against XMR.

If you read the last commit on github, you'll know the whole answer.
ANN here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg8961211#msg8961211


XMR Dev team rose to the challenge of forced evolution in the time available.
They have crafted a polymorphic bitmonerod+client that adds checkpoints at will and with no dev team intervention needed.  Its a decentralized self-maintainable solution that scales as needed.  Even if you DDoS github, checkpoints can still be deployed.

Thanks are due to BCX for initiating the game.  I hope it was rewarding, even though he was outplayed, this time.

If there are also some other anon-busters, but that don't rely on defanged TW, they're probably rested and ready for a rematch by now.

NewLiberty isn't part of the dev team.
2746  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: September 27, 2014, 05:35:37 AM
Then why not attack it instead of monero? What is your reason for attacking monero and refusing to allow devs to fix your exploit?

Hey,

They're the ones saying it's not possible.

So nothing to worry about right?

~BCX~

Actually, I believe it was the Cryptonote/Bytecoin team that said it was impossible. Everyone else pretty much acknowledged a TW attack may be possible.
2747  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: September 27, 2014, 05:25:21 AM


Yep I agree, this is an awesome coin.


~BCX~

This was in the NEOS thread.  Maybe we should all dump XMR and buy NEOS, another anon coin.  Mass market cap exodus from XMR into a $166K cap coin...man, that could run the price up.  


I guess your sarcasm detection was set to zero.

This coin is so absurd I thought it would be obvious.

~BCX~

It really is an awful coin.
That's what I don't get though. Why not just attack the obvious scamcoins?

Coincidentally timed near the release of their hyped up V2 wallet.

It's really pathetic seeing these BBR guys out trolling XMR. Instead of trying to build something up, they just want to tear others down.
Risto and Aminorex are both too smart to invest in a coin named Boolberry.
...hypocritical, don't you think? Undecided

It's really pathetic seeing these XMR guys out trolling BBR. Instead of trying to build something up, they just want to tear others down.

Oh did I just generalize a couple posts as the whole of XMR? Sorry! I know that's only valid reasoning against XMR's competitors, not XMR itself. Could these BBR supporters stop defending BBR?! Everyone should judge it by the most trollish aspects of its most trollish supporters... smh

P.S. BBR supporters should really stop judging XMR by the likes of Moneroman88. Judge a coin on its merits!

I never generalized all BBR supporters. You took that quote out of context, as I was talking about a few specific people in a different thread.

I wouldn't really consider the second quote trolling. I believe BBR's potential value will be severely limited by its name.

any news on the name?

do you really think thats most important thing here ?

Very important for trolling purposes:


Lol plus blueberry name  Cheesy

... but i might buy some back if we keep boolberry name.

ruins - i'm not so sure about


While he is trolling, Robin might want to report back to Risto and Aminorex and other members of the MEW team that their BBR dumping campaign over the last 5 months is coming to an end. The dumping action has been pretty easy to trace and we have it locked in now, it behavior and how the bots that have been set up act.

The only problem is that these bots only have so many bullets in the chamber. And we plan on systematically eating them all with the new investors that are coming on board. They may not want to waste them at the current prices, waiting until we go higher. At any rate, we now have a system set up to monitor the exact volume of the downward pressure, so as to put better than rough guestimates on how much buying pressure is needed to absolve the bots and allow for a natural price growth.

Hopefully he passes along the note.

Risto and Aminorex are both too smart to invest in a coin named Boolberry. I'd love to see the evidence you've collected to "trace" their dumping.

You know what I don't like in BBR? Some of its vocal supporters. Look above and despair.

Thanks a lot for raising the level OP, because all others are so obnoxious it doesn't really lure. Crypto Zoidberg does a fantastic job, but the community...well. I can't say I saw the best of it in the last weeks.

I own both XMR and BBR btw, so don't bother accusing me of taking a side. I want both to succeed, unlike all those unbearable warmongers that can't appreciate competition.

It's really pathetic seeing these BBR guys out trolling XMR. Instead of trying to build something up, they just want to tear others down. Windjc and slapper are pretty good at that though, seeing as how the two of them both played major roles in destroying the BBR community.
2752  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: September 27, 2014, 01:41:15 AM
robinwilliams, I guarantee you there is no connection between BCX and myself, even though he claims he was from the Philippines where I am currently living. I was worried at the start I would get dragged into some conspiracy theory.

That is why I am perplexed as to how he knew about what I found (after BCX incited me to dig). And no he didn't mention many vulnerabilities. He mentioned this specific one in conjunction with the TW attack which is necessary to rewind the blockchain to complete it.

He couldn't have guessed that. He had expert advice or insight himself.

And notice he never said the attack was taking place. He said TW attacks take days to develop, but he never said it was ongoing. Check his words carefully.

And he said from the beginning that forced evolution was the objective.

He achieved his objective, he knew the (potential) vulnerability, and he got paid with cheap coins and got revenge on Moneroman88. Perhaps he is sitting smug waiting for you all to figure it out.

But I think Moneroman88 was a sock puppet of BCX.

Where are you, out of curiosity? I just got back from the Philippines recently.

The other part of the decision not to use bounties is that the incentive is to do the minimum required to collect the bounty with no further development or support.  This isn't always the case with the windows GUI being one example.

I have input on this, but it's quite late so I'll have to save it for later.

My opinion is still a ''kickstarter'' campaign like protonmail.ch did, another privacy oriented "service", it was very successful and funded it with hundreds of thousands, the only "requirement" for it is having a fancy website with all the goals and working functions of monero so a random person can decide and with their freewill give (or not) to monero project.

I agree. I raised the point earlier in the thread that a properly marketed crowdfunding effort could draw donations in from many different spheres. I believe a mistake that's often made in cryptocurrency marketing is not taking it past bitcointalk. There are lots of groups who would donate/invest in an anonymity-focused, open source project like Monero.
2754  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: PROBLEMS? LOOKING for A Superior ANON COIN? Look no further, you're just in time on: September 25, 2014, 03:08:03 PM
Is this a decentralized anonymous approach or does it go through a central location to create anonymity?

Its mixed a multiple nodes, it's the most effective way if you really want to be anonymous. If your looking for it to do it on the blockchain, it doesn't, but it's more effective and safer then any one doing it on the chain. You can invest in CN coins for that, but this way is superior and much safer overall. It's really exciting tech, if you really research into how it works

Watch this video. He put it out today to answer some questions about the anon that Neos uses.
http://youtu.be/kbx_O4eg-v8


I think we get that, but the problem is still the centralization. It's simply just a centralized mixer; it might be "effective", but it is definitely not safe! Indeed, it has a single point of failure or breach: the mixer. Unlike CN coins, where an attacker would have to compete with all the miners on the system, this coin is easily destroyed by someone gaining access to these nodes owned by a single person/group.

I say this not because I'm trying to light this coin on fire, but rather because all new coins in the crypto space should be subject to a high degree of scrutiny. The ones with merit will stand on their own.

Well said. Ultimately I don't see anything in this coin that deserves the hype. The major selling points are the centralized mixing service and the promise of a fancy wallet gui.
2755  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is Monero taking over the alternate section? #3 Crypto in weeks? on: September 25, 2014, 04:46:00 AM
Media outlets are starting to touch on 2.0 tech such as BitShares, MaidSafeCoin, NxT and even StorJ.  Monero will have to start showing why they are 2.0 worthy before they move up past these few heavy hitters.  Freezing the assets on exchanges because of this threat is not helping, its showing how fragile crypto currency is.

https://coinreport.net/little-crypto-asset-sanity-maidsafecoin-supernet-bitusd/

http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2014/09/02/baverman-bitcoin/14728425/

2.0 is just marketing gimmicks, coin with nothing really something bitcoin cant already do so they have to force this narrative.

they are not even coins but tokens.

The "coins" listed in those articles such as BitShares and NxT bring a LOT more to the table compared with BTC...  They truly are blockchain 2.0 technology greatly expanding upon the original Bitcoin ideology.

In all seriousness besides a good dev team, what is Monero bringing to the table that will allow it to prosper?

Monero is like bitcoin 2 0. It's the first truly anonymous coin, unlike the coins you listed. Also it's completely decentralized, unlike the coins you listed. There are also a lot of under the hood improvements in the cryptonote technology. This is part of the reason the bitcoin core devs have been so interested in Monero.

Also, the so- called 2.0 coins are basically just application platforms primarily. Monero was made from the ground up to be a currency.

Disabled Monero   Disabled XMR

???

wallet offline precaution at request of the devs

why?

Here is the best and shortest write-up i've seen so far. btw, you should be able to buy/sell, just not withdraw or deposit.  

http://bullbearanalytics.com/2014/09/23/whats-going-monero/

[edit - removed tracking info that i missed sorry]
thinks ,I not withdraw or deposit. why?
I want deposit xmr.

temporary security precaution
2759  Other / Archival / Re: delete on: September 24, 2014, 05:14:12 PM
All this has done so far is bring more attention to the coin and if indeed there is no way to attack it then the value has increased. Which leads the question, Was this the desired result in the first place?

I've said this since day one and the majority called me a troll... Roll Eyes

You're the one who provoked him to attack to begin with...troll.

Is it plausible to make clients checkpoint themselves regularly? This would require the checkpoints to be saved in some external file that is integrity-verifiable.

Are we going to have nightly build of the wallet file? That is quite inconvenient.

Man up solider!
