It's up but it's last transaction was at the end of August - the time when GrounBEEFtaxi took over..

Not that anyone needed any more proof that GrounBEEFtaxi is full of shit, here are 3 links for ya.

27 Oct 2014: New price high from GrounBEEFTaxi leadership..... currenty at .002599 on @Poloniex exchange. Only 55k of this coins reserve is available.

Here he is on Twitter trying to claim that he is personally responsible for the price of XBC. Interestingly, this is dated 27 Oct - 3 days after he claims that he sent back the donated funds and after he claims that he knew Mindfox wasn't interested in carrying on with the project.

5 Nov 2014: GrounBEEFTaxi is looking for a few good-hearted and true BTC angels to help fund a new UI wallet geared towards the music area. #bitcoin

About a week later, GrounBEEFtaxi takes to Twitter again to beg for development funds. Why would he do this after returning what had already been donated 1-2 weeks beforehand?

3 Nov 2014: GrounBEEFtaxi is fed up with scammers!

Note to all cryptothieves........................you are no better than the wall street buffoons and cons on top of the hill.  The very practices you undertake to cheat the people of their investments proves that cryptographic and open source technology does not change a damn thing about innate human inadequacy that has helped to dampen the revolutionary effects of Satoshi's pain staking work.  You should be ashamed of yourselves and your momma should've have thrown a soap bottle at you and kicked you out of the house for being a disgrace.  I know.........because my mother did that to me when I was younger and now I've seen the light and became a truthful and honest as possible person.  Running off with BTC from innocent people does not help the steps you are taking to ultimately fail in the long run at life.  Best to think about these things.....

I haven't lost big on any coin, I've just seen from the bleachers watching this whole crypto game get played out.  However, I have seen plenty of coins(including the one I run now which everyone knows is XBC(BitcoinPLUS) which has now been flushed out of those types of people who've ruined lives and let hopes get ruined by very immature and "if they were able to step into the NYSE they'd convert to scammers instantly" developers disappear.  It still is the wild west of crypto and where the justice is..........I see none in sight in the distant future.

This is just hilarious. In the first paragraph, he's calling out the scammers telling them they should be ashamed of themselves and then he gets on his high horse about people 'running off with BTC from innocent people'. Shortly afterwards, he runs off with BTC from innocent people.

It's also very interesting that he mentions about how his mother kicked him out of the house as he was a disgrace and a disappointment to her. His mother issues probably account for a lot of why he turned into a pathological liar and fantasist.

The second paragraph is even more bizarre. Once again, he's sucking his own cock about how 'everyone knows he runs XBC' and how it's been flushed out of the type of unscrupulous people and immature scammers who disappear. Then Mr CHUP CHUP CHUP (mature) CHUP CHUP turns into a scammer and disappears!

There's no need to be confused. GrounBEEFtaxi has told so many lies over the past few months, that it's impossible for him to keep track of them all.

Anyway, as I mentioned above, there's no reason why he wouldn't be able to refund you guys with the XBC that he still claims to be holding. Unless that's another lie...

Interesting that you're mentioning that Mindfox disappeared and went to Leocoin now, but but you never said anything 3.5 months ago when you found out about it. As 'King Of XBC', it was your responsibility to inform people of this, rather than lying and telling people that Mindfox was on board.


And here lies the issue. You have done NOTHING for XBC. Nothing at all. You took over and talked big with stupid projects like Project Parthenon. You actively ridiculed people who said that your ideas were unworkable and accused them of causing trouble. You refused to answer a single question that concerned people asked you - seriously not one single answer to one single question. You then decided to use XBC to promote your non-existent music career - remember all your talk about how you've been in the studio laying down a track that was so incredible, there was no chance of it not being a hit? That was months ago and there's not even been evidence of that either. That's because, as you mentioned on Reddit, your real job is slicing meat.

I'm convinced that you're not well. Nobody could be this disingenuous and arrogant without having some major personal issues. Whilst Bitcoin had Satoshi as it's project lead, BitcoinPlus had a guy that slices meat in the same position. At least we now know why you're called GrounBEEFtaxi.

And please don't claim that you're going to 'buy some XBC at a later date in good standing on your own' and then in the next sentence say that you're 'unsure of XBC's future'. That's an insult to everyone's intelligence.


Interesting that you never mentioned 3.5 months ago that you had refunded the money, but now all of a sudden you've decided to tell people and SURPRISE! SURPRISE! The refunds have all gone to he wrong addresses and nobody has received them.

Unless you're willing to put in some serious overtime at the meat packing plant, you could prove that you're still holding your 1280XBC by using them to refund Oldnoob, Egghead123 and JJMV - obviously this isn't going to happen because you don't own them any more and there will be some excuse.

The saddest part of all this is that when you heard the news that Mindfox was gone and you were 'unsure of XBC's future' you should have done the right thing and stepped down from your role as project leader and helped to find someone who could take over and lead the project. Instead, all you did was lie to people about how everything was going to be okay and how things were happening in the background.

You're a worthless piece of shit - but you already know that. And that's why you live a life of fantasy and lies.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/2vpnfl/physical_solar_powered_bitcoinsim_imagining_a/cojssv1?context=3

So it turns out that GrounBEEFtaxi isn't a superstar DJ at all and his actual occupation is a meat slicer! Certainly explains his username and his penchant for lying to people!

When you say 'useful', are you really asking for somebody to come and offer some consoling, yet totally unrealistic words of encouragement so that you're strung along with this farce for another few months?

Remember that Grounbeeftaxi only got the job by default because nobody else wanted it. Do you really think that a knight in shining armor is going to suddenly appear and make things okay again?

Try to name a single thing that XBC has going for it that is of real interest to investors or developers?

1. The name is nixed - and even if it wasn't, no self respecting developer would get involved in something that only has a 'cool name'.
2. The community is long gone.
3. The developer is long gone.
4. The technology is outdated.

Face reality, for gods sake!

Do you really think that after FOUR attempts at making XBC a success, any dev worth their salt is going to want to go anywhere near XBC? I'm afraid that the name is not cool in any way. It's seen as a failed knock-off that tried to ride on the coat tails of Bitcoin. I'm afraid that it's not a 'big marketing tool' either as most people associate the BitcoinPlus/XBC name with multiple failures and scams.

Not just that, but assuming that a developer was crazy enough to take on this project, there's nobody to hand over the reigns. The project has basically been festering since August when Grounbeeftaxi took over and Mindfox, the original wallet maker wants nothing to do with XBC either. Given that XBC has zero volume of trading, I would also think that it'll be dropped from Poloniex during the next cull.

So there you are. even the skeleton XBC crew have jumped ship and the wreckage has been cast adrift in rough seas where it is doomed to float rudderless until it finally rots away.

And I think that here is a suitable place to close the book.

I do wonder if those of you who gave Bitcoin to Grounbeeftaxi will ever see it again though.

The saddest part is that Grounbeeftaxi wasn't even man enough to tell everyone he was pussying out. He did exactly what the other developers that he slagged off did - he simply disappeared into the ether, leaving behind a trail of lies and broken promises.

The worrying part is that he's now peddling his bullshit onto a new unsuspecting audience on Reddit. Someone really needs to let them all know what he's about before anyone else gets sucked into his web of bullshit.

Because somebody bought 0.3 BTC worth of a XBC. If they tried to sell these, they would still only get a starting price of .0005 on them. Again, this is a hallmark of a dead coin when you can double the buy price with an investment of approximately $60.

XBC has already been taken over three times already - the original dev released a non-working wallet and scammed everybody, the second team fixed the problems, but the lead dev scammed everybody and then disappeared. The third team quickly disappeared when they realised the coin was beyond saving and the forth team consisted solely of GrounBEEFtaxi, a complete idiot, whose only qualification for running things was the fact that he liked to hand out on the Poloniex troll box and say "Chup" a lot. He talked big and made a lot of huge promises, but ultimately was proven to be the biggest liar of the lot.

XBC has become a textbook case of how to do everything wrong in crypto.

If there were awards for shitcoins, XBC would make a clean sweep and GrounBEEFtaxi would win the shitcoin Oscar for 'Biggest Cunt In Crypto'!

Well it's the last day of January and there's been no sign of the GrounBEEFtaxi, the pathological liar. He has packed up and left yall and from his prolific postings on Reddit, it's clear that XBC is no longer his number one. According to the XBC rich list, he's also sold all of his coins too.

Interestingly, I found a sample of his music on Youtube and, as expected, it's fucking awful!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylO8XvDSzqw

So now XBC has no developers, nobody leading the project and no hope. If that isn't the definition of a dead coin, hen I don't know what is.

Good luck!

Listen here, you fool. You took over XBC and made huge promises about how you were going to rescue the coin and how it was going to be a new beginning because, unlike the previous developers, you were a safe pair of hands who could be trusted. It turns out that you have been more incompetent than the rest of them put together.

Months after you took over, the sell price has dropped to around 5k and is currently the lowest it's ever been and there has been no development. None. What's more, you've not come forward with any plane on how to rectify the situation and have been silent for ages - again lying to everyone about how you were on hiatus, despite PROLIFICALLY posting onto crypto subreddits at the same time.

Literally every claim you have made has turned out to be a lie. Remember when you told us that:


Well nearly three months have gone by and there's been nothing.

Do you remember when you said that Project Parthenon was going to revolutionise the music industry and you openly ridiculed people who said that it was a stupid idea. Well it turns out they were 100% correct. It never got off the ground because you didn't have the ability to make it so.

You're all talk and no action and you're a textbook example of why people have so little confidence in altcoins and you have the nerve to get pissy with me and tell me that it's me that is freaking you out?!

Boo-fucking-hoo. GrounBEEFtaxi has gotten all upset that his months of lies and bullshit that have caused people to lose money have come round to bite him on the ass! You need to get the fuck out of crypto before you fuck up anybody else's project.

And to TheScarabX - if you are indeed a different person, I suggest that you steer well clear of this fool. His involvement is the kiss of death.

I call bullshit.

Within 23 minutes, you had found this on the internet, registered a new account AND responded? You also say you don't know who Grounbeef is, even though that you are proposing is EXACTLY what his 'Project Parthenon' was going to be?

Also, the fact that you're using Counterparty is pretty suspicious when Grounbeef was talking about moving XBC over to Counterparty about a month and a half ago.

Grounbeef was also talking about creating a website for a project in January.

To prove you're legit, can you name the sponsors that you already have or will you be using Grounbeef's tactic of avoiding the question?

If you don't know who Grounbeef is, then you should read this thread from the beginning and understand why myself and other are sceptical.

Are you willing to give your real name, or is 'The Scarab Experiment' (which sounds very like 'The Parthenon Project btw) going to be yet another situation where you are hiding behind anonymity?

It seems like Grounbeef has registered a new username on Reddit and created a subreddit to promote The Scarab Experiment.

However, it seems that he's already being called out here too

It's basically just his failed Project Parthenon idea. The most worrying part is what Grounbeef has written here:


So he's already decided on an extortionate price of one dollar each for these 'Scarab Tokens' and all he's promising is that 'Scarab Artists' get free publicity from the non-existent 'Scarab Community' which you can only join if you've paid him for scarab tokens. He's already started with his usual lying by claiming that he already has sponsors that will also be contributing.

At this point, I really can't decide if Grounbeef is knowingly trying to commit fraud or whether he is genuinely retarded (CHUP).

Either way, people need to steer well clear of this as it's going to be even worse than his tenure as 'King Of XBC'.

Amusingly enough, Grounbeef has proven that he's ignoring these forums. In this thread on Reddit, he accuses a random person of being me. Whether I am or not is irrelevant, but it does prove that he's been here and is choosing to purposely ignore XBC.

XBC died months ago. Grounbeef simply fucked the corpse.

I think you'll have more success trying to contact Grounbeef via Reddit as it looks like he is now poisoning that community with his brand of nonsensical bullshit.

From the upvote/downvote score of his postings, it seems that Reddit also find the lying cunt to be tiresome too.

Hey Grounbeef,

How come you have time to post constantly on various bitcoin and crypto subreddits - well over 50 times in the last 4 days, but you're telling everyone here that you are on hiatus until January?

It's January now, so are you going to finally let us know what's going on with XBC or are you going to come clean and admit that you are full of shit?

Only the first address is valid. The second address is invalid and the third and fourth addresses are the same - and it's also invalid. The first address has a balance of 0.1XBC. That's currently worth about 3 cents. LONG LIVE PROJECT PARTHENON. XBC has truly revolutionized the music industry!

JJMV, surely you realise that you are flogging a dead horse here? Hang about on Poloniex and you'll see that Grounbeef is on there every day talking about other coins. In the meantime, you've been building this site whilst he's done the grand total of fuck all in the five months since he took over.

You ought to approach some other coin developers and offer your skills where they will be appreciated.

Why do you say that you are on hiatus until January when you've been on the Poloniex trollbox EVERY SINGLE DAY, talking about trading other coins and selectively ignoring people that ask you about XBC?


On your own?! That's tantamount to admitting that all development on the wallet has stopped. You should give the raised BTC back to the people that donated.


Admittedly, you do still post a token "Ignore the haters" message here every couple of weeks, but apart from that, you certainly do seem to have packed up and left.
