You're implying that king theymos would actually care about IXC.

That would be the best news i've had all year.  Fact is, I've been all about IXC for nearly 4 years and Theymos hasn't been very fond of me.  He had me shadow banned on Reddit for nearly a year.  I call him my buddy simply cause he's not but boy it sure would be nice if he were my bud.  I'll even let him keep half my coins as a sign of my appreciation.

But seriously - that's a great catch but my guess is that multiple people use that same server.

But keep digging, if it's about IXC I wanna know more.  Thx.

I don't think you should stop investigating anyone - I was simply stating my disbelief.

I never ignored your posts I just have so much crap going on that I don't keep up with most threads, just the two I care about.  If you have any important questions just PM me so I don't miss them. 

Keep up the good fight, brother. 

I think this is the craziest thing I've heard all year.  If it weren't Spoetnik I would mock it right now.

I'm genuinely impressed.  You found the right thread.

I agree.  I think we'll see a few alts take off as well. 

PoolMinor, really great call a few months back.  Looks like BTC heading for $800-$900.  Curious to see what happens to alts. 

Since I'm being honest I might as well get it all out.

I've seen the stuff you dug up on Marshall Long and it shut me up cause it looks really bad but on a personal level I'm
Gonna take the personal risk of endorsing the guy anyway.  This might end up hurting me later but I like and respect very few people in crypto and Marshall is one of them so I feel guilty not standing up for him.

I don't give a shit about all the allegations - even though they look really bad, I worked [briefly] with Marshall and he blew me away.  I'd pay big money [if I had it] to have that guy on my team.  I'd back him any day if it ever mattered. 

That's the truth.  That's how I feel about that. 

Since cryptsy robbed me of all my coins (left me with about 8 btc out of hundreds) I do little research on any coins.  I had no idea DGC had any drama after Baritus left and I assumed their investors were legit.  This is all news to me.

And my comment where I said "this is an important piece of the puzzle" I wasn't endorsing coinexchange.io, I was referring to their online wallet cause IXC badly needed one and I thought I could get them to fund it.  Other than that I was simply letting the community know about the exchange at a time when IXC couldn't get listed anywhere.

Gleb, I think you and Spoetnik are legit and are doing a thankless job - and I respect you guys for that.

Let me tell you that I ain't done jack shit scammy stuff in crypto - my rep and IXC were too valuable to sell out for any money.  Garza offered me $32k to make a single and legal statement about the paycoin bamebrand (after I took over that project) and I refused simply on principle cause I felt it was a community brand and not any lead dev's right, and let me tell you, it was just days after I lost everything, I didn't even have a car, any money or a place to live. 

Few people in crypto would show that kind of convictions so it really pisses me off when I see shitheads like Hippie Tech vomitting lies.  And that "leaked Garza" email came from another source that hacked me but I let it go.  You guys dig all you want - I've always taken the hit for the small guy and passed up big money to keep a good rep. 

And no, garza was not an obvious scammer from day one.  I thought he was just irresponsible and a power tripper.  He had legit backers and was involved with legit exchanges and sponsoring big legit events. 

You and Spoetnik don't bother me at all cause I know you're looking for the truth, the other guys can suck my big dick 43 times.  Gotta top your 42.  Haha.

Rock on, brothers!!!

I'm not sure what that thing is or what it's doing but if it's responsible for this Bitcoin pump then I hope it keeps blowing.  lol

Looks like your hypothesis was right but your timing might have been a bit off.

[The Guardian] - City banks plan to hoard bitcoins to help them pay cyber ransoms

Experts say blue chip companies have decided it’s cheaper to deal with extortionists than risk damaging attacks
 
Several of London’s largest banks are looking to stockpile bitcoins in order to pay off cyber criminals who threaten to bring down their critical IT systems.

The virtual currency, which is highly prized by criminal networks because it cannot be traced, is being acquired by blue chip companies in order to pay ransoms, according to a leading IT expert.

There go the "experts" again.  This is a bold faced lie as Bitcoin is the MOST traceable currency on earth and I've been saying this for years. 

And why would you outright advertise to these "criminal gangs" that you're hoarding Bitcoin to pay them?  Bahahaaa.

Banks and corporations (and I expect governments as well) have been buying up Bitcoin and soon it will be obvious so they need an excuse so the muppets don't start buying up Bitcoin themselves (yet).  Buy as much as you can now, before they start their unwordly pro Bitcoin/Crypto propaganda machine. 

Yeah, figured that out too.  Definitely Good to see the difficulty rise.

@Spoetnik,

I remember BCX liking DGC but didn't know he didn't like Baritus. 

I totally agree that the honest road to profits is the best, even though it takes much longer.  That has always been my stance although temptations are always lurking.  Like you, I too WOULD be tempted to take the easy money, albeit, so far I have been able to say no.

As for bringing back cryptsy - I have said to bring it back publicly.  I was referring to a buyout -a win-win for investors but most importantly for Crypto.  Why not save ourselves from another failure and many more investors from being robbed if it can be done so that everyone wins.  Vern didn't have to be part of it, only cryptsy.  I see no sense in hurting so many people to spite Vern and $5 million is nothing for the big players in crypto. 

If I were a whale I would have risked it for the good of the people and the image of crypto. 

But I digress...

And you'll forgive me eventually, brother, cause I didn't wanna save cryptsy only for myself.

You totally lost me.  Who is this guy and is he in Romania?  And what's DGC got to do with it?  Wasn't that baritus' coin?  I remember DGC having some good investors and once baritus left it remained a pretty legit coin.  Add some color.  

And sorry I couldn't give ya 42 BJ's for your research, I'm always late to the party.  lol


Edit:  just read your other posts but I've never heard of these people.  I have no idea how you find these people but it scares me.  lol. Try and find me a physical address in Romania if you can.  If there is one.

And thanks for the positive words Spoetnik.  I always thought you were doing "God's work" (lol) even when you were on my ass in the early days. 

Not sure if that's an insult or a compliment.  I also predicted that DGC would go $1 within 1 year and it hit around $.70.  At that time DGC wasn't even trading at a penny.  And most alts will get killed soon, I have no doubt about that, although I think DGC may survive longer than most.

And it's in Romania.  In craiova which is really close to me.

Hmmm, maybe that idiot, Hippie Tech, was right and I'm Paul Vernon extraordinaire.  lol

Ok so my timing was off a bit but it looks like I nailed the country.

[CoinTelegrah] - India's Digital Payments, Bitcoin Adoption Will Grow to $500 Billion by 2020, Study Shows

Difficulty still moving up strong.  I bet this is CEX.io. 

Horse swap? 

Interesting.

Edit:  Who is adding the hash on i0 right now?  CEX.io? 

Yeah, it's all about money and people love doubling and tripling their coins (even if the real value remains the same).
