Why bother selling the exploit if you could use it whilst having a short position in Monero?

Or better yet, prove it and steal all the funds, you'll likely make off with far more than 100 bitcoin before the exchanges shut down.

I think that link (post) was before both the ones being discussed in this thread, have a look at the times, I'm really tired and might be wrong, so I apologize in advance.

Because there is no exploit?

Well whatever the case may be, he declares in PM that it is a coin killer and about 18 minutes later declares publicly that it is mostly no big deal.

Even if the exploit were to be used, it's almost like a zero day where it would be one use and quickly discovered and permanently fixed.

And right after sending that PM, we get this on the forum:


So there is no Monero coin killer, can we all calm down now?

I'm not sure Bitcoin is advanced enough to be evidence of time travel. The different concepts that came together to allow Bitcoin to work were already made and well established, Satoshi was simply the genius to blend them all together.

However, with the mining 51% pool problem, with the lack of anonymity problem, the scalability problem and with competitors claiming advanced features (Ethereum, Nxt) it doesn't make sense that Bitcoin is some perfect system that is from the future.

Bitcoin came right about on time, and was certainly not decades ahead, as all the technology that allows Bitcoin to work was already created.

I think if some software project came out of nowhere, and involved concepts and mathematics that were not known to humanity at that time, that would indeed be better for time travel conspiracies. :p

I don't get this line of thinking, how would you lose? Your reputation would be boosted quite a bit. As far as I can tell you are capable of attacking young coins through mining attacks, however I believe you are out of your depth regarding the ability to steal Monero without needing ones private key.

A live demonstration would further cement Litecoin and Bitcoin, of which you apparently hold a considerable position.

First of all, you need to add all your source code to github, I'm not downloading anything from onedrive.

Next, do you have a white paper describing this functionality? What exactly is happening when the block number 172800 arrives? I guess the user must download a new wallet?

Why people keep replying to drawingthemoon is beyond me, he sounds like a hyperactive 8 year old, and he certainly isn't doing boolberry any favours.

On another note, I really don't see an issue with the name, boolberry sounds pretty fun in english, perhaps market the coin for a large gambling/porn focus, this is where all CryptoCurrency will shine in the near future anyway. Also imagine paying for coffee with boolberries, the local barista/hipster would love it!

Mate, you really need to log off and never log on again, something is wrong with you. Let me guess, you're on medication?

I'm still not making sense of this situation, these are my current scenarios about what is currently going on, am I close?

1-You're telling the truth about there being a fundamental flaw and don't want to tell the Monero core team because you want to see Monero fail, however, this leaves Monero open to attack and invites FUD, so you're essentially committing an economical attack on Monero, contradicting your statement that you won't attack Monero.

2-Your attack requires you to have between 20% - 50% of the hashrate to be successful, your FUD will mean the total network hashrate of Monero falls allowing such an attack to be more realistic.

3-You're simply lying, hence not telling the Monero team about the flaw.

4-You're telling the truth and have disclosed the flaw to the Monero core team.

Are turing complete contracts going to be implemented into Viacoin? Or are you of the opinion such capabilities are pointless?

I am still on the fence about the Ethereum style contract system.

Can someone show me a viacoin emission graph?

A cult? We are a cult only if those that follow Bitcoin are a cult.

You decide.

This isn't true, attacks require effort, and the attack that affected Monero could have instead been aimed at any other CryptoNote coin but this did not happen.

In fact the fact that only Monero was attacked proves that you are completely and utterly wrong.

People are losing interest? I don't think so.

Also the tech in Monero is still far superior to Darkcoin, a bug doesn't change that. (Unless the bug is permanent and cannot be removed)

We'll need to make sure this is legitimate, is there word from the official Monero development team?

I'm now at peace with the fact that people will be trying to destroy Monero forever, I can't see the hate ever going away.

There will always be someone who has picked up some cheap fat stack of some coin and they will always do whatever they must to make their coin and voice heard. These people will always attack Monero because Monero sucks legitimate money from the alt coin space, the trolls will always want that legitimate money for themselves.

All I see, is every Monero hater being some cheap coin fat stacker, and now I understand why Monero is under constant attack. Monero is fair, and many people here do not want fair, because fair doesn't allow them to pump their fat stack.

Long live Monero.

Except that Monero offers an order of magnitude more capabilities than Bitcoin.

Also, what rpietila said is true, because of the price of monero rising relatively fast it means there are no mega stacks out there, other coins sat low for too long allowing few to buy them all up.

On two counts, monero is more advanced than bitcoin and more fair, most other coins lack the advanced and for certain lack the fair.

I feel that Monero will forever be under attack, there will always be smaller coins where the users amase mega cheap stacks and then they are incentivised to wage war against the bigger coin.
