A lot of energy from you to bring bad light to this project. It looks like you dedicated your life to this cause and nobody knows what's your end game. From what I saw until now you are like that lunatic villan from the movies that dedicated his life to mess with the hero. Every good men has to deal with someone like you in their lifetime. And we all know what happens with the villan in every story, don't we?

The difference between you and the other critics on this topic is that the other at least complained about their issues in a constructive way. And about real and up to date issues.

I hope finally he's not a bad guy and he will be able to show us a little bit respect for our work, and stop to FUD us.

Ok, I will stop.

In 2009 there was only one person which did belive in this system. And this is why he was able to mine those many blocks. We can also start the mining on our protocol in private and the publish on internet and those 9.9% to be mined not premined. But we want to give our community the opportunity to have equal chances from the begining and with those 9.9% we will help the WebDollar ecosystem to growth for all those hundreds of miners we already have in our testnet daily and for their trust and support in our project. If you're accusing WebDollar being a scam just ask yourself why we didn't any ICO? It would be easy to do a scam with ICO instead staying months only for developing the tech. Please check our Github for seeing how much work is behind our project which you're accusing so much https://github.com/WebDollar/Node-WebDollar, after you will understand what you are doing here is not fair because behind WebDollar are thousands hours of work and tens of missed nights for releasing a great tech. Only the marketplace, miners, and time will decide if our work has a real value or not, even we belive a lot in WebDollar potential Smiley In conclusion, be fair and have patience for seeing what will happen next. Thank you!

You initially wanted to do an ICO, but now you thought you have subtle ways of scamming people. You rebranded the pump-and-dump scheme as 'Initial Release Event'. That's how you want to differentiate from other coins? By stealing less? "But it's only 9.9%", cheap supermarket price trick.

Idiots.

 I understand that this is a test mode, but even so, I had 42000 on my account, then I see that 2020 is already on the balance sheet Huh I did not translate anything, how is this possible?


  
  
Never access websites over HTTP. Especially websites that serve javascript files that will be run in your browser. It is possible that someone mounted a Man-in-the-middle attack on your connections and modified the javascript files to steal money from your account (by adding events on a button for example).
NEVER access webdollar.io over HTTP.


BITCOIN doesn't have HTTPS. It impossible, (IMPOSSIBLE) to do Main-in-the-middle (aka ARP Poisoning) for Blockchain to steal funds. End of statement.

All transactions are signed by using Schnorr signatures which are even proven mathematically while Bitcoin ECDSA is not proven mathematically. All blocks are signed by the Argon2D Proof of Work Hashing Function. Blockchain doesn't require HTTPS

All the data that exit from your computer is digitally signed either by Schnorr digital signatures or by the Argon2D Proof of Work. This shows exactly the low level of knowledge of Blockchain and cryptography of user webdollar-scam.

The guy was a victim of a MITM attack when he was downloading the webdollar source code. It's not the same thing with bitcoin, because you download bitcoin source code once and then used signed messages. But you download Webdollar code everytime when you visit the website. Over fucking HTTP.

Guess what, an attacker can replace webdollar mining code with a Coinhive mining script. But the webdollar community doesn't care, as they don't want to use HTTPS on webdollar.io

"we need to address all kinds of users, not just the tech savvy, like most of the other cryptos do" - they address tech savvies because the last have powerful pc-s for mining. If all the users start mining from there browsers it'll simply kill their GPU/CPU in a year. I'm not sure that the earnings will be more than a killed pc costs.

Also, mining from the browsers is less efficient than 'bare-metal' mining. It will destroy your CPU and the reward will be much lower than the reward of the tech savvies with the same hardware.

This looks like an alternative for NIMIQ, also a browser based Blockchain project.
Webdollar allready has tokens that allow Smart Contacts in jawascript and anonimity superior to bitcoin.
This is a false statement. Webdollar does not have smart contracts and will never have anonimity because was not designed from the start with an anonimity goal (unlike Monero).

[/quote]
so we all are on equal ground at the start
[/quote]
How can this be true when the premined is 10%. Just picture this: for all the webdollars to be mined it requires 100 years, the premined is 10%.
Equal ground for sure.

Yeah, he posted the same message 4 days ago on Reddit but was instantly banned and the message was deleted.
So he's created a bitcointalk account specially to troll WebDollar  😂😂
He's clearly frustrated about the promising and imminent WebDollar success.
it seems so, but it's better for us to ignore his words
maybe he will keep trying by doing so, but it will not work
and he quit because he was tired to do it

I agree, it's better to shut up when you don't have answers.
Until now, the Webdollar community answers were to censor things, delete messages and ban users that raise questions.

Why WebDollar is a shitcoin.

1. Pump-and-dump scheme
The sole purpose of the webdollar cryptocurrency is to create a pump and dump scheme at the expense of the so-called 'investors'.
How? Selling premined coins through their website (advertised as an exchange platform).
The currency is advertised as an investment and they are creating hype ("we expect the prices to spike very fast seconds after the release" [1]).
On the day of the dump (called 'Initial Release Event') the premined coins will be sold by the webdollar founders.
Be aware: they advertise webdollar as an investment, but they are not registered with SEC.
Selling webdollar through their website will be illegal.

Videos:
They don't want to register a company because they don't want to be held liable for the pump-and-dump scheme. (https://youtu.be/6YAEtqtL_So?t=9m30s)
Webdollar is premined: https://youtu.be/p3zC7u_KRAY?t=3m51s

[1] https://medium.com/@adrianmihaistratulat/not-another-ico-56cd4c6fe0c4

2. Developers have no experience in the cryptocurrency community

The webdollar project started 6 months ago. Before that, the founders had no experience in the cryptocurrency community.
Now they are already advertising that they are 'specialized in blockchain applications'.

Examples [2]:
a) they don't know about constant time cryptography
"Cum naiba poti sa scrii altfel ca sa verifici 2 hashuri daca sunt diferite?
for (let i=0; i<initialHash.length; i++)
if (initialHash !== myHash) return false;
Sa mor eu daca poti scrie altfel codul aceasta si sa fie mai eficient.
Este aproape atomic, tinand cond ca initialHash si myHash au acelasi lungimi si sunt reprezentate pe 32 bytes."

b) they don't know about PQC

"Deobicei fuunctile criptografie lucreaza pe 2^256 si sunt vulnerabile la calculatoare quantice." it is trivial to switch to a 512bit hash function to negate quantum attacks.

c) The lead developer doesn't know what a commitment scheme is:
"Commitment scheme 101 is used in zero knowledge, we don't have zero knowledge at the moment."

d) The lead developer is involved in mass media manipulation with Mihai Gadea and Dan Voiculescu, he also received MONEY from Dan Voiculescu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RvkunqseC9M
https://youtu.be/zraL-jpEhgY?t=14m10s

3. Webdollar is centralized

Premined currencies are centralized. A small number of entities are given a percentage of the entire supply WITHOUT working for them.
This is a theft from all the future miners and users.
The premined coins can (and will) be used to manipulate the market (see pump-and-dump scheme).

4.Webdollar is not secure

The browser is not a secure platform for developing cryptocurrency applications:

https://www.cvedetails.com/product/15031/Google-Chrome.html?vendor_id=1224

Javascript is not a good language for implementing cryptography algorithms
https://blog.bren2010.io/2014/06/17/javascript-crypto.html
‘In-browser crypto is not as secure as the state-of-the-art, therefore it’s insecure.’
