I don't particularly have any incentive to respond to the scammers that I foiled, given the significant cost (in time) to do so. Nor do I have any financial loss or care particularly if people want to stop mining on Eligius because they were in on the scam (or any other reason). I will clarify that Eligius miners were not adversely impacted by this, and that the CLC mining involved only adding data that I hashed myself to my own transactions; and I was careful to ensure that nobody lost any confirmed CLC. If any Eligius miner wishes to inquire further, I will take the time to answer specific to-the-point questions which are signmessage'd with an active (ie, has mined in the past week) Eligius payout address that has earned at least 2000 TBC (5.36870912 BTC) over all time.
Eligius is a Bitcoin mining pool and I am, as always, committed to doing my best to contribute to and protect the Bitcoin ecosystem. Pyramid schemes built upon forks of the Bitcoin software ultimately discredit and harm Bitcoin's reputation. I hope CoiledCoin will be the last of such scams now that it is clear there are people (not just myself) willing to stand up to them. Namecoin alone demonstrates a legitimate, innovative use of Bitcoin technology, and while I don't personally agree with their ideals/goals, I see it as a good thing for Bitcoin and worth cooperating with.
cablepair, regarding Devcoin, I don't see any reason to treat it as different from any other scamcoin. I will at least discuss it with you on IRC before doing anything other than mining it with the almost-unmodified (zero txn fee, zero post-maturity delay) Devcoin client.
P.S. While the opposition seem to be very venemous and vocal, I have gotten a lot more positive support from a head-count perspective.

Has this bug been fixed in 0.5.1 which I downloaded today after 6 months not using bitcoin and which I used today for encrypting my old wallet (5 minutes *before* I read about this bug)?
I think so, but until someone can confirm for certain, you're safe so long as you protect your wallet.dat - ie, don't upload it to the public. |

Why do you assume the pool miners had anything to do with this?
|

I have no sympathy for scammers.

CoiledCoin now closed. Have a nice day.

Is there a plan in which future version of Bitcoin client this date issue will be fixed (back to block creation date)? Patches welcome. But not just a revert... |

I never said I was a perfect Moderator ? and I never said I wasn't moderating it ? I just have no say in what should be included and what shouldn't its not up to me it was up to you all. On obvious things I did my best. Leaving out the most popular pools, high profile developers, etc while including dead pools, etc, is not moderation. If you made a decision to do so, it's basically trolling. If you didn't make a decision (I think you mentioned you just took it as-is at some point), it's unmoderated. |

edit: Keep in mind its a double edge sword if "locked it down" with who I thought should be there someone surely would complain regardless or let everyone at least have a chance to put in who they think ( whether accurate or not) I would be damned either way so I went with one of the lesser of two evil's and stuck with a transparent method. Saying you're doing one thing (moderating it) while doing the opposite (not moderating it) is NOT transparent. |

FWIW, Namecoin payouts are now automated. They will occur via sendmany at most once an hour, only under specific conditions (which are secret for now) to minimize risks of automated sendmany.

I never threw anything out I went with the latest revision I had wrong or right I went with what I had. You had ample time to correct it or PM me to correct my contact information was everywhere. I tried. You merely reassured me that you had it under control and not to worry about it: This spreadsheet needs some moderation. Too many vandals.
Don't worry I got back up copies and I'm doing some moderation. |

People have donated rewards based on the implied assumption this would be conducted properly/fairly. If that isn't the case, please figure out how to refund them so they can donate them to someone else who can conduct a proper 2011 award contest.

I attempted to sign the message to register my namecoin address, my wallet is encrypted,
when I execute the the bitcoind command, it says:error: {"code":-13,"message":"Error: Please enter the wallet passphrase with walletpassphrase first."}
how to execute bitcoind with my passphrase?
bitcoind walletpassphrase <passphrase> 300 This will give you 5 minutes. |

I intentionally didn't list myself under the "forum" headings because I don't really do much on the forum.  Also missing: "Nanotube" (Developer) Bitcoin-OTC (Service?) Probably everyone on https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/People should be on there |
|
|
|

Amir Taaki also should be on Developers at least.
BitEgg/BitPizza for services, too.
I'll keep posting other things... maybe the next few days should be a "trial run" and the real poll begin after a reset when everything is cleared up?
