So im reading up on nexus and ecc, and wondering how nxs can make the claim they are quantum resistant, when ecc will be highly susceptible to quantum attacks, and thereve already been proven security limitations to ecc such as side channel attacks and twist security attacks. Can someone please tell me nxs has implemented something different than ecc which proves its far more advanced than theyre "claiming"?
That's correct. ECC is a weakness. Colin discusses this a bit: https://youtu.be/4HLzgDxcFH0?t=28m4sGreat presentation, Videlicet. Ill watch it, but why do they claim quantum resistant if not? The Nexus protocol is quantum resistant provided the end-user uses good traditional Bitcoin security practices. It can be made nearly quantum proof by combining ECC with other public key private key crypto algorithms through concatenation, and using new addresses for each transaction as a part of the protocol. Additionally, if there are better algorithms than ECC developed, proposed, and accepted by the mathematics and crypto communities, they will be adopted. Ultimately, this is a pressing matter not just for Bitcoin and Nexus, but for all crypto... |

Any news about a GPU miner for the Prime CPU mining channel? I did see there is a bounty of 20k Nexus to get an open-source one for community to reduce the risk and impact of one or two miners running proprietary prime channel GPU miner software. I believe this is pretty important.
I am currently optimizing.. Private prime miner for the pascal chipset (NVIDIA) 100% faster. Not for sale. For harvesting. ]http://i65.tinypic.com/seul4o.png Interesting ! Before attempting to make it open source u should think about how mucky and poor ur frat room is. This is due to the lack of funds and laziness residing in ur ass. If u want to brighten things up a bit, slightly overhaul ur home or buy a cheap van, u should monetize ur work. Without charging money for the miner, u are bound to end ur life on a rubbish dump. What are you even talking about? Not but a couple pages ago, he was selling the custom miner he created... That is for the GPU channel, not for the Prime CPU channel. The Prime CPU channel currently has no open-source GPU miner, afaik. |

so any news? I kind of lost track on this one... definitely need to shut down my mycelium wallet, it's too bad though. really liked all the features
no it seems momentum has been lost. I've also uninstalled Mycelium wallet. A great product but it would be reckless of me to install software, produced by the same people who oversee "projects" like Mass. I have also stopped using Mycelium. It's too bad, because I like it the best. Samourai is getting better everyday though, and the developer is adding great features. |

what do you guys expect for the price for nexus ?  hopefully it goes down, so we can buy some more. |

Bounty Alert: We are offering a 10,000 NXS bounty for a fast, open source GPU Prime Miner. It must be significantly faster than the Nexus Prime CPU Miner. Bounty may increase if the Community contributes as well.
The Bounty for a fast, open source GPU Prime Miner has now been increased to 20,000 NXS! Any progress on this? Also, any word on launching a public testnet for Nexus 3.0? Happy to run a testnet node. |

Great stuff here guys. What is the ETA for Breeze wallet alpha release with Tumblebit? I realize there is still some work to be done to get a couple things for Tumblebit in Bitcoin Core (and it's happening: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9503) We expect delivery of our fully functional breeze wallet for Bitcoin and Stratis trustless transactions in 2 months. This will support both Bitcoin and Stratis transactions? *edit* Nevermind, according to the article... https://cointelegraph.com/news/breakthrough-in-bitcoin-space-breeze-wallet-to-redefine-transactional-privacy"Nicolas Dorier, the developer of NTumbleBit, the official implementation of the TumbleBit protocol, is among the project contributors. Stratis has recently expanded a team of developers to work on this project and to accelerate its development. The first release of the Breeze Wallet is expected within two months." |

where are the ico funds? I think the escrow (Kuzmin) could tell this and is also responsible for informing us. Any other action can be interpreted as an involvement in the scam. Also pianist could tell us what he did with the ico funds before he left the project
Pianist says he never had access to the funds. It was always Kuzmin who controlled the funds. this cant be true! Kuzmin was the escrow. escrow cant be the only one controlling funds. otherwise the project was set up as a scam from the beginning and pianist was involved. Maybe I have missed something but it sounds logical to me My guess is that Kuzmin divvied up some of the funds, kept the rest, and funded a little development just long enough to exit. They were already planning the next ICO before this one had finished. Theory: Essentially Mycelium was broke and started a series of ICOs to keep it floating a little longer, while grasping for something that would generate revenue: May 2016: Mycelium crowdsale : 5,131.445 BTC raised (Source: https://crowdsale.mycelium.com/#/) Dec 2016: Mass Network ICO : 332.148 BTC raised (Source: https://ico.mass.network/#/) Jan 2017: Swish ICO : 16.36 BTC (Source: https://www.smithandcrown.com/event/swish-ico-an-automated-pos-app-leveraging-the-power-of-the-blockchain/) Mycelium Token --> MassCoin --> SwishCoin --> ? Joshua Unseth called it 6 months ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/4z3t19/mycelium_crowd_source_question_so_whats_up_with/d6t8htr/ |

OMG! More slander, man... yes, that was me, Mike. Have you ever worked at a company? Generally, The CTO and CEO run the show. This was the case as far as I know at Mass. They ask people like me to do marketing stuff which means just send some press releases to outlets. I was never involved in collecting money and neither was the "scam originator", Mr. Oschepkov. From what I know he was fired!!! Probably for asking too many questions about how it would actually work!... come on, man. Please have some decency. I understand you are upset, I would be too. Focus you efforts on tracking down the real people involved though instead of accusing the people trying to help you. Thanks, Mike Please understand that we are trying to get information about who the "real people" are, but so far there is a lot of finger pointing. Who had access to the bitcoin ICO funds? Was this Alexander Kuzmin? If so, then this story is really about Mycelium and Alexander Kuzmin scamming investors out of hundreds of thousands of dollars, through false information (fake news announcement about Acquisition and CEO of Mass) |

Hello Michael, I am not interested in further accusations against you, nor attacking your character, nor taking you down, nor holding you responsible - as that is counterproductive to finding any resolution. Unfortunately, it did appear that you were involved with copy and content creation for Mass Network and MassCoin ICO, as well as took credit for raising the funds, and I did bring attention to this and apologize for calling you a "professional scammer" and retract this statement. That fact that you came here to address the accusations, shows that you are a person of integrity. A handful of participants including yourself, are now being "hung out to dry" by Alexander Kuzmin, and Alexey Oschepkov -- who have now moved onto new scams. It has come to light that much of the communications regarding people's involvement in the Mass Network were outright lies and misinformation, which can be seen from the PR that was published at Bitcoin.com https://news.bitcoin.com/mass-network-bitcoin-advertising/Archived Link: http://archive.is/t2S1uIn this article, the Mass Network was referred to as a "Bitcoin Super Team" ... "composed of leading innovators from businesses such as Colu, Mycelium, Evernote, BitFury Capital, Deutsche Bank and IBM." It is unfortunate that you were brought into the fold of this scam, along with Bitcoin.com I believe this situation is sobering for yourself, and for everyone here. Meanwhile, those ultimately responsible are now gone with the rest of the funds. Thank you for addressing the accusations, and providing more facts, as the community works to bring accountability to Alexander Kuzmin and Alexey Oschepkov (Kontegna). I will only let the facts speak for themselves at this point, as they come to the surface. These sorts of ICO PR shenanigans cannot continue to go on at Bitcoin.com or within the Bitcoin space without accountability, and ultimately, that's all people want here -- accountability. copying from the original new thread and my post there DO NOT POST SESC LINKS Hi, Mass Investors! Here's my experience that I feel I need to contribute to the community since this doubt has arisen. 0) Neither me personally, nor my company ( www.knowledger.consulting) have any affiliation with Mass Network or any of its founders/employees. I was just a contractor to Mass writing the white & blue papers and advising on general matters. Neither me, nor my company has ever received or managed in any way any funds directly from the crowdsale discussed. 1) I was first engaged in the project in early August of 2016 when I met Alexander Pankov (nick “pianist”) in Riga, Latvia, EU, in person. I assume, I was quite an obvious guy to get invited since I combine the knowledge of blockchain tech and ad-blocking as you can see in my blog ( https://medium.com/@Knowledger). 2) Alexander Pankov has made an impression of having some deep knowledge of the subject, although I was unpleasantly amazed by him humiliating his wife more than twice publicly during an hour-long meeting. I should have probably withdrawn myself from there right away which I didn't, unfortunately. 3) Alexander Pankov initiated the crowdsale of Mass Network tokens by starting the ANN thread on Bitcointalk. I spent about 40 days communicating with Mass Network representatives while ~90% of messaging happened directly with Alexander Pankov / pianist. 4) I created the white and blue papers of the projects with Michael Malley being my proof-reader and Sam Cheng Hung being the webmaster. Those were the only contacts I had within Mass, besides Alexander Pankov (a lot) and Alexander Kuzmin, occasionally, on general topics. By that time, I assumed that Alexander Pankov has hired all the dev team members by himself. 5) Along the way, Alexander Pankov began to fill my inbox with tons of messages that were self-contradictory, controversial, and not making sense at all. I expressed doubt he could manage his way, in polite terms. 6) In mid-September 2016 I was kicked off the project by Alexander Pankov with the extremely rude wording "I don't need you in the project, being impertinent to me is your life-lesson". I can prove that to any entity and will insist that in any court should that take place. 7) Later, along the project development, Alexander Kuzmin accurately calculated my participation and let me off, fulfilling all obligations to me, after his purchase of the entire thing, with no objections from my side whatsoever. I also had relations with him in the Mycelium Card project ( https://card.mycelium.com) years before, where he also behave himself as a gentleman. I have no grounds to suspect him in any wrongdoings. He was indeed an escrow of the funds, according to his own words. I have zero knowledge on how funds received during the crowdsale were used, though. I have to mention that Alexander Kuzmin has received a number of suggestions from me that he has ignored. Specifically I have advised him to withdraw from specific partnerships that he has announced on the Mass Network website. Him not doing so does not lead me to the assumption he meant any harm to Mass Network investors, rather I suppose I have limited knowledge of the matter. Cool Alexander Pankov has "left the project" in December 2016, according to his own words. That happened RIGHT AFTER all the crowdfunding money were collected. We only have his word for that event, as a matter of fact. 9) In February 2017, Alexander Pankov (nicknamed "pianist") names me as a project "founder" while he well knows I am not and was not. That’s a blatant lie. It seems he is trying to blame me. 10) I have no grounds to suspect the project has let its investors down and stopped development. I don’t know why they have let this escalate or generate such a suspicious feeling in the community, I just felt I need to honestly express my view and what I know for sure. ______ Regards, Alex Knowledger.consulting Just as I expected. Everyone here was involved, but nobody can take responsibility. And it seems that Alexander Kuzmin is the one who has "disappeared without a trace". Thanks for speaking out your version of the facts. This is a horrible shit-stain on Mycelium. |

It is irrelevant whether you believe if this was ever a real project or not. Our monies have been stolen.
But in my view a basic website and a shit unfinished software is not an attempt to make a business. More likely just an attempt to produce just enough evidence to seem like one...
I'm sorry, I've had it with these scumbaggers
