I predicted this Bitcoin collapse a while back (you can go look and see that I was right).  It happened just like I thought it would.

You predicted that the price would drop after it skyrocketed to speculation fueled unmaintainable levels? What should we call you oh great one? The Oracle of Bitcoin?

I'll take any of those useless Bitcoins that you want to get rid of.

When <some less than likely condition is met>, all will be made quite clear.

This sounds so cultish, give me the chills.

Are you saying that L. Ron Coinhunter is lying an won't release the source code? You filthy heretic!

Yes, and I dare him to prove me wrong. But either way I don't really care since it's just fun to watch everyone get spun up over this the farce.

I just can't wait to see the 100+ security issues that plague bitcoin that were fixed in SC2. Just like the 85+ security issues between Bitcoin and SC1.03 where the client was insecure because it said Bitcoin instead of Solidcoin and insane amounts of improperly formatted whitespace.

Not clicking yet another propaganda link.

Suit yourself but I think the prevention of the 51% attack is quite neat. When the source code will be released, all will be made quite clear.

When <some less than likely condition is met>, all will be made quite clear.

This sounds so cultish, give me the chills.

It *seems* that BCX's theory has so far proven itself: Block generation hasn't (meaningfully) adjusted, despite massive difficulty increases.

The argument from the SolidCoin camp is that this is due to a continuous increase in the number of legitimate users, as SolidCoin continues on its trajectory to replace Bitcoin!

It'll be much more fun to watch when the reality that people are only in it to mine and dump sets in on his delusions of grandeur. He'll probably be left with slightly less people on his bandwagon as he goes off to code SC 3.0, probably before opening the source to SC 2.0.
65  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: Question concerning site identifying bitcoin addresses/forum members on: October 07, 2011, 08:34:15 PM
That was someone taking publicly available Bitcoin addresses and totaling up the Bitcoins for that address from the block chain trying to see who has the most Bitcoins.

That's why I have 1 of my addresses designated for "Donations" and it's the only one I publicly post.

Reminds me of Ixcoin and I0coin, what alternative coins coming out next? Sad

I think we need a new subforum for Alternative Crypto Currencies -> Protest Currencies, currencies solely launched in protest of something they didn't like about the original alternative currency

Look for your transaction here first: http://bitcoincharts.com/bitcoin/

It doesn't look like the network is backed up that much, but if more high priority transactions exist on the network yours might be delayed. If you don't find it there first then it may be a problem with your wallet, try a rescan.
68  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: How are the new solidcoin accounts mached to old accounts? on: September 15, 2011, 04:17:03 PM
Will you publish some, I dunno, reasonably concise description of the new protocol, especially improvements introduced ?

Aye, a paper will be released before the final release, but after initial beta testing. Arguments can then be made against or for it and we will go from there.

It will be posted on the website. It will be called something like 'How Solidcoin 2.0 Is Ready For The Bitcoin Failure'. Just like the last one it will be mostly fluff and lack any technical detail.

It's called ignore. Perhaps you should try using it.

AHH Brilliant, SO IGNORING DOUCHEBAGEXPRESS, will cause the exchanges and pools to reopen. WHY DIDNT I THINK OF THAT. IGnoring douchebagExpress will stop the attacks. GOT IT. Ignoring DoucheBagExpress will cause businesses who come here thinking about adopting BTC, to say "WOW THERE ARE NO DOUCHEBAG EXPRESSES HERE, I THINK I WILL ADOPT BTC?"


NMC Bitparking : Currently closed, will probably reopen soon, just like i0 did
IXC Bitparking : Open
I0C Bitparking : Open
SLC Bitparking : Closed due to ch's arrogance, along with slc.btcguild

moonco.in : seems to be having it's own problems
Ruxum : don't have a beta account so I don't know, don't see SLC listed on main page
btc-e.com : still seems to be alive


So what's your complaint again, that you ability to trade has been impacted at some point, but not so much right now?

So you had faith in solidcoin, the creator intentionally killed it

SO I should blame realsolid for the i0coin exchange being down as well?


Did I say that? No. I don't care about your BTCExpress agenda.

but you're cool with it on the promise of an egomaniac that you will get an equivalent number of "new" coins that might be worth something in a "few weeks

I dont trust anyone but myself. I was also given plenty of warning and could have turned my 300 solidcoins into a couple BTC before all this,  maybe $20 worth at todays prices.. YAWN! What about ixcoin? the founder premined 1/4 million coins, I bitched about that and still made money mining ixcoins. I dont really get along with the founder of that. Look at i0coin, it was started on a whim in 2 days. It died and was brought back to life by the community as the original developer went MIA. Thats all kinds of nuts, but I made money at those as well.


Then sell them already and get over it. Again, I don't care about your BTCExpress agenda, and reading it on every post is getting old.

I don't care about the 1/4 million pre-mined coins. Incentives make perfect sense to me for someone who's second to market.

I made a nice profit on ixcoins, despite the fact that I didn't believe in what ix or i0 were selling. I didn't get in the i0 startup because I predicted that it was going to be a mess due to the hype and launch date.

and that you get to have input on features that may or may not go into said new version before it launches?

Di you mean to say "you get no input" cause I'm not sure what kind of attack this is. Yes I like suggesting features.


No, I said 'you get to have input' just like it's written and just like what I meant. Since ch is an egomaniac and super awesome pro coder I thought it was funny that he was actually RFQ'ing since he dismissed all the bitcoin dev's and everyone else's peer reviews. Perhaps he learning except that he has essentially killed his "product" without having something to replace it.

I've never owned any solidcoins, and yeah, you're too trusting

Thats Your fault and your opinion. I made a dozen BTC in the first day of solidcoin on a 5770, that is months worth of btc mining btc for me. I have more than doubled that in the first month.

Your not trusting that the major holders of BTC might not start to divest and cause the price to plunge to like $5 a btc? And you attack us for being tooo trusting? LOL.



I said I never owned solidcoins, partly because I was offline the week that they launched. I might have gotten in on the launch depending on the situation, but I would never have gotten on the bandwagon. Exactly how do you read 'only holds bitcoins and only explicitly trusts in them'. You need some serious comprehension help. I didn't pay cash for my bitcoins, maybe you did, I won't assume, the value fluctuating doesn't concern me very much since I am not an investor.  And I do trust Bitcoins more than any alt chain fork, until given a legit reason not to, which I haven't seen yet. Until then, the squabbling of all the alt chains is my As The World Turns.

So you had faith in solidcoin, the creator intentionally killed it, and you're happy with that? Any value you had in solidcoin is in limbo (if not gone completely), but you're cool with it on the promise of an egomaniac that you will get an equivalent number of "new" coins that might be worth something in a "few weeks" and that you get to have input on features that may or may not go into said new version before it launches?

People opted to exit and await fixes for the a fore mentioned problems, anyone is free to use the old chain as it is today, but with rampant attacks and threats of attacks coming from people with bored teenager syndrome something had to be done, I don't see accepting a moratorium on mining for a short while in hopes to get added security enhancements in a next version to be something worthy of loosing trust that RS is in fact trying to make the system better for everyone.  Maybe I am also crazy and too trusting.  Incidentally the whole "kill switch" non-sense was an out of context lie by BTCExpress and a couple other dummies, if you really look at the comment it is in reference to code RS stated as having disabled from legacy BTC code.

Rampant attacks? : 1 or 2 at the most doesn't equal rampant, and solidcoin's arrogance is a wash with being attacked as far as I'm concerned, a little humility on his part would have saved everyone a lot of time and trouble.

Rampant threat of attacks? : You've never been threatened before? It seems to happen everywhere now.
Bored teenager syndrome? : Also exists everywhere now a days.

And so far everything you have said is putting blame toward someone else and on the defensive. Just pointing that out.

I'd like to know what security enhancements you think you're going to get since none of the 80+ security enhancements that were supposedly fixed in Bitcoin were ever found in solidcoin's source code. Unless bitcoin is in serious trouble of a renaming attack or whitespace overflow.

You're buying the argument that the new version of solidcoin is going to fix every possible security problem with p2p currency protocol from a guy who has !never! once given an acceptable technical explanation of anything.

I didn't say anything about a kill switch, never have, never alluded to it because I saw the removed comment too.

Sure people can keep running it. Why bother though? I doubt any providers are going to support the old block chain, most of them are closed or closing. If any of them are going to offer any services in solidcoin it will be for the new one since there is not a concerted effort to keep the original chain alive, and just keeping an open source copy of the client around and updated doesn't really count. People should have just let it die, but they believed the hype and wanted to believe it was something special. The creator killed it, with nothing to replace it, and now people literally believe in something that doesn't exist.

The actual fund to my knowledge has not been implemented and there are discussions as to how to best do this.  You can also look at it a different way but they equate to the same thing.... say a miner is getting 49 coins every generated block and an additional coin is created on top of the standard rate to go to the fund, that would not be "stealing from the miner" maybe I have too much faith for my own good but until someone does me or any other honest person wrong I'll give them the benefit of the doubt (ala the new NMC debacle post BTCExpress, Diablo3d a moderator telling someone who asked a legitimate and honest question that ~"it's easy to get banned around here.  Take my advice and shut the fuck up."~, the old NMC debacle which BTCExpress was doing, the crap done to Ixcoin -- I don't even have any NMC or I*coins)

1) ditto - should be exciting to see the new changes


If https://github.com/doublec/solidcoin/commits/ is any indication, I can *hardly* contain myself!

Script kiddy couldn't pull it off, told a few too many lies. Can't wait till you threaten to attack SC2.0 then call it off too. Not even your powerful Geforce2MX mining rigs will be able to take it down!  Grin

I'll have to agree. Plus he's likely imagining things:

The leadership of Namecoin has allowed it to stagnate into the weak state it was in. They own this and should take responsibility.

In the past 72 hours I have seen a coming together of people that produced more in this time than in the past four months combined. There has been a bigger collaboration between Bitcoin and Namecoin than anytime in recent memory. The chain is more secure now, with a better future than it was before this started.

EDIT: The fact that we are aware of the attack means we can circumvent it with ease. It would be very interesting if BitcoinEXpress changed the tactics to catch the chain off-guard. I somehow doubt that though. But all-in-all I have to admit that the community got a little momentum because of this threat, we probably need to thank BitcoinEXpress for that. Smiley


Which chain exactly?

The one that he's purposely killing because his cult of personality failed on these forums?

Or the one (that probably don't exist at all) that he refuses to launch and deflects every challenge like a pre-pubescent middle schooler?

There's too many to keep track of.

Info about how the 51% issue will be solved will be released once we have a working testnet client. This issue of 51% attacks is at the core of being able to trust Bitcoin, and it's quite a big issue that needs to be solved. More so for a new crypto currency granted, but Bitcoin being shown vulnerable with recent attacks on the alternate chains will shake a few exchanges I think (like Ruxum already have been).

Still true to form, he still refuses to answer any technical questions in any level of detail. Seems to me to be another desperate move to try to maintain control of the project.

We have to keep in mind he is playing the fence in the open-source world and close-source world.

He wants to straddle the fence where he gets to use open source code yet doesn't want to give any details on his implementations.

He must really enjoy the sensation he gets from straddling that fence.

Go get 'em Art.

Can any of you explain how is this network really getting shut down and what really happens when it gets restarted.
What if 2+ miners keep the rigs running and people do not download hes "new and improved" client?

The existing network is likely going to be hacked and toyed with , anyone wanting to trust their coins after block 35250 will be basically doing it with a prayer. Smiley

The reason people will download the new client is because it wan't be vulnerable to these hacks inherent in bitcoin.

So the answer is no, he can't explain it.
