845  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is SCHARMBECK Shutting Down? on: February 11, 2014, 03:46:50 PM
Classic case of a professional BSer.  Just talk in circle hoping to muddle things up and hope people don't have time to pick up on the BS. 

You said you "quit" when you found out about wdcf and scambeck.  What was there to find out? scambeck was started by the very same people who appointed themselves as the principle members of the wdcf. This is not some hidden info, those guys used their positions with wdcf to promote scambeck, the info were clearly presented on their websites.  Are you suggesting that you did not know about this connection when you first pumped them?  OTOH, If you did know about this connection and you found it "unwholesome" and you did not approve of them, then why did you pump them?  If you knew that they were "unwholesome" and still worked for them, that makes you (and sagefit) scammers. 

The only way for you to get out of this stink that you created is for you to personally claim ignorance, and say that you were first unaware about the connection between scambeck and wdcf, this claim would make you the most ignorant person in the wdc universe.

BTW, for the record, you and sagefit did not "quit" scambeck, you two pumped them right to the time when the scam blew up, YOU were personally trashing people, on the trollbox, who tried to point out the problem with scambeck up until the scam blew up.  The scam finally blew up when people did the dividends calculations to show that scambeck cooked the book ( https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=443111.0 ).  Their internal partnership problem conveniently appeared when their scam got ousted. You conveniently distancing yourself by claiming that you are only trying to promote wdc.  Your new spiel now is to promote yourself as trusted vanguard guardian of wdc.

That is correct.  I did quit.  I did not say I quit the very instant I found out. 

    I worked for the foundation doing PR.  Initially i was told that one of the members was working on a project.  Absolutely no details were given out about what the project was outside of those within the board (Gudmunsn, Nerdcustoms, and Beneliath).  As time went on, I was told (along with everybody else) about Sharmbeck.  It was not immediately explained what Scharmbeck was.  All there was to go from was a web page with some information about banking.  This is why i made an incorrect assumption that it was a bank and not a money transfer service. 

    When it was officially announced what Scharmbeck was I began to feel uneasy about the whole idea. I don't believe it was in the interest of Worldcoin Foundation to be directly associated with a business - let alone a money transmitter.  Scharmbeck announced it was floating shares at Crypto Stocks.  I investigated Crypto Stocks, and because of their inability to even provide a working method of registration, let alone the site looking unprofessional, I remarked in #worldcoin, that I thought Crypto Stocks was unreliable and that Scharmbeck should not be using them to float shares.  I was immediately reprimanded by the board for talking about Crypto Stocks in a negative way 'without proof'.  I blew my fuse and told them - 'The fact that the site is broken and they don't respond to emails is proof enough.  That was the final straw for me.  My inhibitions about the association between the two, and the fact that i was expected to defend Scharmbeck despite NOT working for them was enough for me to quit.  So i removed all my privileges from the channel, forum and Foundation and quit. 

  When people asked I explained that it was a 'conflict of interests' as i had no wish to start up a discussion damning Worldcoin Foundation or Scharmbeck.  I hung around in the chat for a few days after, but i felt the Scharmbeck thing so much of an issue that I had to walk away from Worldcoin, and have been away for 3 months.  I came back and within days the problems with Scharmbeck began surfacing.  Because of my love for Worldcoin (Yes I do love it) I decided to intervene.  I pushed the board members individually to step down.  Which they all in turn agreed to.  I have since gone on to to try and repair all the damage that has been caused by the past affiliation between the two. 

After reading this I hope you begin to understand how wrong you are about me.  If you have problems with anything I have just written come to #worldcoin and ask around.  I am sure that you will find that what I am saying is all true.  You are even welcome to message me, or talk to me publically about it.  You will find me open and honest.  If you forgive my anger you will appreciate that i do not take kindly to being accused of being dishonest.

BTW, for the record, you and sagefit did not "quit" scambeck, you two pumped them right to the time when the scam blew up,
I did not quit Scharmbeck.  Because I never worked for them.  I did not pump either.  Because despite your assumption that I am capable of it, I am not.  At that time I had about 1.2 BTC in total anywhere.  Hardly enough to pump anything.  Between then and now I now have a grand total of 1.32 BTC.  Still not enough to pump anything. As for what you said about Scharmbeck problem.  I seem to distinctly remember users on the 'troll box'  (it's called that for a reason BTW) deliberately trying to discredit it for no good reason.  Some people had valid points and presented them in a respectable manner (namely longandshort) who I invited to discuss it directly with the lawyer on #worldcoin.  I did not force anybody to buy into either Scharmbeck nor Worldcoin.  I merely promoted what they had to offer.  As for your opinion that I am trying to 'distance' myself from Scharmbeck, there you are wrong.  I was never close to it.  I only promoted it because it was in the best interest of Worldcoin Foundation that I do so.  As i have said previously - I promoted other services equally... I.e. Rapidballs.  I did not tell people to go gamble their money away there either. 

On a final note.  You keep relating to Scharmbeck as being a scam.  What makes you think it is a scam?  All I have seen is that it is a legitimate business that has had major internal problems resulting in legal dispute.  It has made no official announcement about it's intent to close.  From my understanding there is no reason to believe it is a scam.  Perhaps it is.  If i said what I thought about it - it would be speculation only. 

regards,

Xodianbarr



Well if it ended up in a court case, and that was your arguement against all the critics in this thread - and i was on the jury - I'm fairly sure i would find you Not-guilty!   

but on the charge of making easily readable posts! guilty! guilty! guilty!

the way you have described things are too well laid out and concise for them to be false in my opinion (I know my opinion counts for nowt, but I thought i'd show my support anyway - Also im not entirely sure what Anger you referred too though, your post seemed to come across as level headed - not hot headed)



Also just a quick question (as my memory sucks) but weren't there 2 other coins that were involved in the early stages? or was that another major feature that im getting confused with? after all if someone is getting bashed unfairly, surely everyone that was involved should be getting unfairly bashed (on an equal scale!) 


just my thoughts :-)

Correct WDC was involved in the UNOCS pnd scam with FTC (feathercon)and PXC (phenixcon) pun intended Tongue .

The original post from July 21, 2013 states that "Currently ahmed_bodi is working on a merge mine patch for the client, and will hopefully be functioning soon" - has this been implemented yet?

Thanks  Grin
nope everyone has been against it so far. and Maria 2.0 who asked me to look after it has no lost interest (again) so things have kind of stalled. i may come back to bytecoin again in the future but atm it isnt running too badly

851  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] OrbitCoin pool started | STRATUM only | 2% fee on: February 10, 2014, 12:49:10 PM


BULLSHIT
I Am STILL HAVING MANY LEGITIMATE FOUND BLOCKS NOT ACCEPTED
Not just from POS but from ALL stratum sites
DIAMOND
BBQ
STABLE
EMERALD
TAG
MIN
World
DIGI

I have screen shots and records of times

Last Night on EMERALDCOIN I HAD ONLY 8 OF 38 FOUND AND RECORDED BLOCKS ACCEPTED in 20 minutes while ALONE in Nordic's pool


even accounting for very bad luck with variance with 9M I have been AVERAGING 20-30% OF WHAT I SHOULD BE GETTING for the corresponding diff.

My 10k of rigs is lucky to make $10/day When YOUR POOLS SAY I SHOULD BE MAKING $70-90

At this point I have lost so much time and money and confidence I have little interest to bring this problem to the attention of the average miner/SUCKER

P2pool.org seems to be the ONLY pool NOT affected...But their selection and participation rate is low





like i stated any coin with tx messaging is affected by this bug.
852  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Is SCHARMBECK Shutting Down? on: February 10, 2014, 02:32:57 AM
i am the previous operator of the mineworks scharmbeck pool (yes it sucked)

I can vouch for both sagefit and xodianbarr. as everyone knows i sold out and told nerdcustoms i dont wish to continue due to the situation with wdc and scharmbeck. and so it was merged with nutnut's nut2pools.
The state of WDC is a complete shambles. the current wdc devs originally focused on wdc as a general and scharmbeck was treated as a completely DIFFERENT entity. however as of the recent months it has become clear that wdc + scharmbeck are one and that without scharmbeck wdc is a failure/ UNOCS v2 . both me, sagefit, xodianbarr and numerous other people have put this to the devs with very little action taken.

The End result here is: wdc and scharmbeck is dead, move on. (You can't call people scammers for doing their job especially when things were different at that time)

For WDC its a coin, it dies no big deal. As for Scharmbeck, no one would have cared if it died if they didn't crowdfund half a million dollars at cryptostocks and pretending to be legit al the time.

If they claim its not a scam they should buy back all their shares at least with whatever BTC they have left. Or wait, let me guess, they burned $0.5M in 2 months?
i disagree a coin dying can mean people lose a lot (the bagholders) i personally did with mincoin and hypercoin.

All right.

I was an old WDC investor and I'm never investing again because of the professionalism shown from the current situation, but I still wouldn't call WDC dead. It still has some infrastructure. I definitely think its overvalued at 7 million $ market cap now, but I see it worth what Devcoin or Zeta are worth in the 2.5-3.5 million $ market cap range. A slow death would be painful, but a quick re-evaluation of the price could get things started again.

i do agree with you but i definitly do think wdc is dead. this the 3rd time this has happened. 1st when clint25n was the dev, then the UNOCS pnd scam. and 3rd now

857  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [WARNING] Pools that scam, be careful! [Quick Analyze] on: February 09, 2014, 02:46:48 PM
This analysis is biased. the best way to tell a scam is to have a clear comparison of blocks found per 24 hours. variance or misconfiguration (it happens to even the most experienced ops) can make a pool lose very little. another thing which should be compared is the pools hashrate. netcodepool from what I heard has a considerably larger hashrate than fast pool therefore finds is very likely to find much more blocks.

@MineLearner you need to go learn the facts. if the pool is scam it should be exposed. PERIOD.
Heres some facts for you

1) Doge Wallet 1.5 does suck. but any worthy pool op knows how to downgrade and patch their coin
2) The stratum you are talking about that sucks, is in use by 99% of altcoin pools around today. According to my github page it has over 33k+ Views now that should show if it really does suck.
