Day 11 since his supposed claim that we had 3 days...

So whether or not BCX is claiming 22 days from his 3 day warning or not is unclear. But all in all we can say we are not "dead" as he claimed anyone holding XMR would be after his 72 hour warning.

I already did.


The onus is to on the attacked to insure they are safe and disprove, not on me to go develop the attack that is claimed. The BTC I was offered in a bounty had no requirement for me to show how to attack private keys. Per agreements in the private messages with Risto and the developers, I only had to show an attack on the anonymity for which they don't already have mitigation in place. I did the private key investigation for free. I was just trying to think about possibilities.

You haven't read my posts carefully. That whitepaper did not address all of the possible simultaneous equations.

I am not playing any good cop role. I am just attempting to be rational and objective. You don't even have reading comprehension skills, therefor you can't be rational. Or the causation could be the latter causes the former.

I don't think you are qualified to judge whether the effort and insights I did were valuable or not. Perhaps you won't know for 11 more days. Or it might even take longer than that to determine the value.

Have the developers been able to account for the increased hashrate to be sure the increase isn't controlled by BCX?

Afaics conceptually, the decentralized checkpoints would not prevent BCX from stealing wallets if he had an attack on the private keys of the genre I was exploring upthread. If he can take over the chain from a checkpoint forward, the he can see transactions before they are added to the chain, thus if the private key could be cracked, he could double spend the transaction, discarding the original transaction and putting one on the block which pays to himself.

Upthread we never showed a way to crack the private keys. All I showed was an idea of how to potentially identify which public key in the ring is the sender in some cases. And from that, I noted it makes some more simultaneous equations available for the private key. Whether those simultaneous equations can be solved faster than factoring a public key is not known to me. If someone knows, afaics they haven't told us in this thread.

If it is difficult to speculate about BCX's motivations. It seems he is either bluffing to save his reputation, or perhaps he is attempting to instill some humility in the altcoin space. I dunno.

P.S. If I don't reply, it doesn't mean I am ignoring. I may have not come back to read yet.


Hey take your fully insured fiat with training wheels which the government will be soon shoving up your bankrupted a$$.

Technological attacks are fair play and it is the only way we can be sure crypto-currency is robust and resilient.

There was no prospectus guaranteeing your investments. If the technology allows your digital units to be transferred, it is your responsibility to know that and not invest if you don't like the risk.

Once you ask the government to regulate crypto-currency, then the entire point of crypto-currency is lost. So this space is not for you. Go back to fiat.

I always get a laugh out of your newbie accounts too fearful of BCX to post under your primary names LOL


~BCX~

Time will tell won't it?

@Xing,

Interesting, haven't thought of that reason to "punk out" and not take the challenge but you do have a point.

I don't have to spend 900 BTC on hashpower.




~BCX~

I said 22 days for it to come through, this is day 11.

Do numbers confuse you?

So if you're so sure then why don't you put up the 500 BTC and take the BCX challenge?

You definitely have the funds.

Let's throw some more skin in the arena too shall we.

Take the challenge and as well let's throw our accounts into the mix too.

The winner takes all, 500 BTC and each other's account.


So if you decline consider yourself PWND by BCX, STFU and anything you say from this point is pretty much invalid.

(Where's Spoetnik and his GW Bush eating a cat meme when you need it)


You talk the talk, can you walk the walk?



~BCX~

Well... I don't know about you lightweights but I've tracked BCX to an address in Southern England. Anyone else able to replicate this?

My investment in Monero is minimal. I mined and sold early at a profit and kept a little. So no, it is impossible for my investment to shrink extremely. I'm certainly not one of the idiots who bought on the mintpal pump. Misinformed again I'm afraid cfa.
