Bet monkeys filling only a breathable planet could probably knock out a few dozen ordered words of cyrillic text in under 50,000 years.
Probably not. The probability of getting 124 letters (the length of OP's copypasta ignoring spaces, punctuation, and capitalization) exactly the same would be 1/197573432418510772277040711201692083385736514012638393679994425464924001835108210796269123704962900087488685633358257810535035225224506650645379922288175182979770908770832122699119769499521. Assuming each monkey is fed high-grade cocaine and can type 10 characters per second you'd need 1253002488701869433517508315586580944861342681460162314053744453734931518487494 9949027722203511092090784416897092735781997402031026414678503639010799605224694 303076406064949435 monkeys to do it in 50000 years on average. That's a lot of monkeys. I don't think they'd fit into a planet. Wow, I stand corrected. I suppose the monkeys would be better put to use brute forcing private keys. |

OK, so lets review the new shit that has come to light: 1. Plagiarism count stands. Copying material word-for-word without accrediting it to its original source is plagiarism -- this definition is not debatable. Your dev or whoever wrote their white paper will need to explain themselves here. 2. Website designers were caught using an image from Dropil. Whether or not it is the direct fault of the developer/team is besides the point. 3. Your developer "Denys Westerholt" as identified by KYDcoin.io is as good as anonymous. There is absolutely zero information about "Denys Westerholt" on the internet or the marcoin website. 4. GitHub doesn't have anything to do with website content. I went ahead and ran the URL checker directly through ForcePoint and these were the results: https://csi.forcepoint.com/Report/Index/92d44ca2-0e42-4ef2-9127-aa0d009a91ebThough it rates 106 / 147 links as malicious, they could be false positives associated with WordPress; I'm not entirely sure and somebody else will have to chime in about this. 5. We have heard this story a hundred times before: "MARC is a distinct arbitrage system which will trade on many exchanges with swift and smart trading strategies. It is designed to facilitate crypto trading based on leading algorithms developed in-house to give you optimal profit as well as minimizing the risk." It's always bullshit. Professional arbitrageurs don't attempt to raise money like this. In the crypto world, 10 times out of 10 "arbitrage" is a cover for "Ponzi scheme" if not outright scam. For accusing scam to some projects, i will need some proof like this : - Victims - Action from scammer (delete discord, fake team, kind like that) And btw, you don't need to threaten me  This process isn't for you, and its a preventative measure to stop a scam before it happens. I understand you're just the bounty manager or project promoter but the actual developer will have to come here and respond before I remove my posts about your project. |

This is a killer sentence (from the Wikipedia article, not my own words): However, the probability that monkeys filling the observable universe would type a complete work such as Shakespeare's Hamlet is so tiny that the chance of it occurring during a period of time hundreds of thousands of orders of magnitude longer than the age of the universe is extremely low (but technically not zero).I have way too many questions about this scenario. Gonna stick with the argument that its probably plagiarism. Bet monkeys filling only a breathable planet could probably knock out a few dozen ordered words of cyrillic text in under 50,000 years. |

Is it posible to withdraw fiat from this exchange now?
Dear Trader, Yes. Fully verified traders can deposit and trade fiat & crypto, as well as withdrawal up to 500,000 USD and 5,000,000 CNY in month in equivalent. Are you sure about that? Your traders seem to think otherwise: "Exchange is Blocking our Account by saying that we have done Violation. This message comes to your e-mail when you keep for withdrawal of BTC." https://twitter.com/dalbeersingh73/status/1104392234693283840You have also been accused multiple times of requiring that traders send you 0.01 BTC before you will let them withdrawal from their accounts. They have provided screenshots of their emails from your exchange. This is not an honest practice to engage in. The fact that your BTC price is also always at a $200 premium to market prices also makes you look like a scam trying to entice new investors to deposit their BTC. I recommend to everybody that they steer clear of this exchange. They have scam accusations against them going back to July 2018: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4612714.0 |

Somebody discovered something interesting and posted on their discord. The discovery shows deliberately how the team scamiq is lying everybody. On January 13 2019, they had 9.9 MIO USD On January 24 2019, they had 9.1 MIO USD So, in 13 days they burned $ 800,000 proof https://i.imgur.com/RewLkyr.pngImmediately he was removed and banned from the project. OK this is really low-level FUD. I'm not an investor in this project and I never will be, but cut out the incessant bolded big red fonts or I'm going to attempt to have you banned. Most crypto projects to come out of mid to late 2017 are down in price since their launch. The market was completely oversaturated with ICOs, and as a result, ALL coins took a hit. The only coin not down compared to BTC in this time period is Binance Coin (BNB). ALL OTHERS are down. Take a break from the FUD -- you had me convinced at one point but now its evident you're simply trolling this coin. |

I regret ever commenting in this thread (some 400 pages ago) because now it appears in my "new replies" section every single time I click on it.
This bounty really did recruit the lowest dregs of the forum, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if this project turned out to be a massive fraud.

the only digital coin that is worth consideration IMO is the one that can scale and is secure. If it cannot stop double spending or if it cannot properly scale then no one will use it as money at scale.
BCH is now a dev based consensus model so there is a single point of failure same with btc. The goal of the anti-bitcoin crowd is to add back in 3rd parties like Lightning network and dev based permissions/ liabilities like all vulnerable pre-bitcoin projects had.
LOL, and you think I'm a troll. You literally just said bitcoin was anti-bitcoin. Stop using the introduction of confusion as your primary marketing tactic. There's only 1 bitcoin, and that's Bitcoin. Then there are several altcoins with bitcoin in their names. These include: Bitcoin Cash Bitcoin SV Bitcoin Gold Bitcoin Diamond Bitcoin Private First Bitcoin |

Still no one responsible for creating Bitconnect is in jail or under investigation?? Can anyone update me on this? Thank you!

Hi Nutidah, we are sorry that you think of plagiarism. Unfortunately the analyzes, the numbers listed and the situation are those. We have preferred to use research by the most authoritative people of us, published on reliable Press, and we mention the sources on the Whitepaper in the Reference section.
OK I do see the references section. It would look better if you put end note citations next to the text you are using, or even better if it was in quotes. But I won't harp on you any further about this issue. |

This is plagiarism..... which is a hallmark of a scam project.
Bro, please, don't use these words, I had the pleasure of personally feeling the CEO, is a very helpful person and has never hidden his true identity. He is always available to talk to everyone also via Skype, putting his face in first person(not like MANY others who do not even deign to respond to messages). I trust totally in him, in his team and especially in his project that I find absolutely unique in its kind. He is a very busy person with his job and, as soon as possible, he tries to answer any doubt they have any investors. You "felt" the CEO in person? Was he soft, or scaly? LOL. I'm not calling the project a scam per se (others here might) but plagiarization is a form of intellectual theft and representative of a rushed job. They also copied stuff word-for-word written by CBS news and I'm sure I could find other instances if I looked hard enough. I'm not drawing up a formal scam accusation against them but rather giving them a chance to fix their white paper, which I think is fair. |

This story gets juicier by the day. Now it looks like they had created "fictitious" accounts to trade against customers funds, for the sake of pumping volume, as well as having a reason to move BTC to non-exchange related addresses. They also had their own unbacked CAD version of Tether, called "QuadBucks." From reddit: Here's what they were doing:
Customer deposits BTC;
Quadriga "artificially" creates a deposit of imaginary "Quadbucks" to their fake trading accounts;
Quadriga buys the customer BTC and shows in the customer account that they have Quadbucks;
Customer can't withdraw cash until actual customers deposit actual cash (because the "cash" that bought their BTC never existed);
Quadriga sends the BTC they bought with imaginary Quadbucks to personal addresses. |

John Mcafee has contributed to providing many benefits for crypto. can be one of the people who affects crypto. we can see if the crypto in the name of John Mcafee is always successful and this can happen and is real
Actually, every single coin he has ever endorsed has plummeted in value. Not one is up, and not one ICO he endorsed went on to achieve any amount of success. He's actually a reverse barometer for crypto, and this is because he gets paid to tweet about coins (and ICOs). https://beincrypto.com/why-you-shouldnt-care-about-john-mcafees-makes-2019-crypto-predictions/In November, he predicted there would be a booming new bull market for bitcoin, and it immediately dropped afterward. Not a good forecaster of price. He should have stuck with antivirus stuff. |

This one is worth a read. This guy started a Scam Accusation thread on his own project. The ICO for his plant growing business is not off to a good start, I'm afraid. Here's a snippet from the conversation he started with marlboroza: where are you?
By the way, white paper is a fad or what?
We have white paper but I used it for toilet paper, for the ass. Are you worth it?

I like how this guy started his own Scam Accusation. I think that's got to be a first. By the way, white paper is a fad or what?

Great to see somebody with such respect for academia and the business proposal process. |

can you suggest any ways where newbies could earn btc without investment.
I tell you straight up: There is no way of earning BITCOIN without investmentNot true. As other members have already pointed out, OP could simply work at a job that pays in BTC (I do), or else use the cash earned at a job to buy BTC. This is also an investment of time, but its the only real way to "earn" bitcoin. Even though I'm part of a sig campaign I don't consider it a job because I would already be here doing this anyway. There's no such thing as a free bitcoin. I do not recommend joining a bounty. And yes, the odds are overwhelmingly against you if you use a faucet at a dice site and try to gamble your way into riches. You're better off performing actual work and getting paid for that. if you have skills, you can offer your skills in the microtask with bitcoin payment, and you can visit XBT Freelancer. In that site, you will find a lot of microtask you can try, but of course, you need skills in each field. This would be a good website if it had more than 15 job listings. A few of the 15 are spam/scams. I suggest upwork.com for freelancing work. They don't pay in bitcoin but that's how I found a good amount of work, as well as my current job. These are garbage time wasters, stay away. |

Your white paper is filled with plagiarism. You've quoted at least 4 different sources and mixed them together, probably would have been faster just to write your own content. For example, from your whitepaper: Concept: Higher mining difficulty
Bitcoin mining difficulty is adjusted, every blocks to remain at roughly 10 minutes per block. As more mining capacity is brought online, the difficulty increases accordingly. Thus difficulty increases proportionally to the increase in computing power of the network. The mining difficulty of both Ether and Bitcoin has increased exponentially since their respective genesis blocks.
This trend will likely continue as adoption keeps increasing. Therefore, digital currency miners will have to constantly acquire more powerful mining equipment. The times where everyone could mine Bitcoin with his/her
personal computer are long over.
The rising mining difficulty has forced miners to keep buying new and more powerful mining equipment. The problem is that these super-computers are also very expensive, creating a significant barrier to entry that only those with deep pockets can overcome. Mining benefits greatly from economies of scale, which further limits the ability of small-time miners to be competitive.
Because of this, mining has become heavily centralized. AntPool claims to be the largest crypto-currency cloud mining company in the world, controlling 15.5 percent of the hash power of the Bitcoin network. Most mining
companies are located in China due to the low cost of electricity and labor.
From an article on altcointoday.com: Rising Difficulty
Bitcoin mining difficulty is adjusted every 2016 blocks to remain at roughly 10 minutes per block. As more mining capacity is brought online, the difficulty increases accordingly. Thus difficulty increases proportionally to the increase in computing power of the network.
The mining difficulty of both Ether and Bitcoin has increased exponentially since their respective genesis blocks. This trend will likely continue as adoption keeps increasing.

Higher Difficulty=More Powerful Equipments
The rising mining difficulty has forced miners to keep buying new and more powerful mining equipment. The problem is that these super-computers are also very expensive, creating a significant barrier to entry that only those with deep pockets can overcome. Mining benefits greatly from economies of scale, which further limits the ability of small-time miners to be competitive.
Because of this, mining has become heavily centralized. AntPool claims to be the largest cryptocurrency cloud mining company in the world, controlling 17.82 percent of the hashpower of the Bitcoin network. Most mining companies are located in China due to the low cost of electricity and labor. Care to explain why you've decided to copy your material word-for-word from another source? I do not think it is plagiarism, many ICO use various definitions already present on the internet to explain the concept of a word such as: what is bitcoin? what is blockchain? The most reasonable explanation is found and adapts to their concept and I believe yes, have been faster just to write your own content. we waiting for a response from the team... This is plagiarism. Its word-for-word copying/pasting from another source. The only time when it would be considered acceptable is if it is standard legal terms. This demonstrates the team is not willing to invest time into creating their own content for their white paper, which is a hallmark of a scam project. If I was considering being an investor in this project I would simply move on to one of the hundreds of others without a plagiarized white paper. |

Hey guys, Nimiq does have a good point.
You would get more sympathy from the community if you stopped giant red font bolding everything, repeating the same things over and over again.
Perhaps you are genuinely upset but to continue the same tactics page after page -- you're starting to look un-credible. You also lend credence to the idea that you are simply "fudding" their project for the sake of bolstering a competitor. While I have no way of knowing if this is true or not, you've clearly already made your point. Continuing to harp on them page after page is just making you look disingenuous.
