Spoetnik, my problem with you never was that you went after scammers, but that you went after them with a scattergun and little to no research. FWIW, you inspired me. After being accused of being a cloner so many times, I actually did learn how to do it
Never released anything, and probably never will, but I have built a couple of coins for the pure hell of it. I'm still no where near a good enough programmer to be a true developer or do anything terribly innovative, but it is interesting.
On topic, sort of, the Cryptsy meltdown was less obvious than some seem to think, but it was obviously coming quite a while before it went south. I read the writing on the wall and lost very little. Some of my friends got seriously screwed. Never keep more than you can afford to lose on any exchange. Even honest men can screw up, and large amounts of liquid cash are an amazingly hard temptation even to good people.
I know some of the people that worked for Cryptsy, and I'm not entirely certain that all of them that I know are innocent in this. Some, yes. They got screwed as bad or worse than the customers, because going forward, having worked for Cryptsy is going to make finding employment very difficult.
Of course.. and thank you.I have heard that lots before specifically too and i get why it seems that way sometimes.
But in my defense i have almost always railed on about the Principle of the matter.
Let's not forget that you all collectively in Crypto decided to support coin cloning blatantly.
I did not.
I said this would have negative consequences over all when looking at the big picture.
I was right !
And look who agrees with me now ?
BitJohn for example has posted comment(s) before agreeing with me on this very topic
Where he said the exact opposite a year or two earlier.. his most recent stance on this echo's my sentiments exactly to a T !
And yet i had spent every damn day arguing with him basically on Cryptsy chat and all the rest of you.
Forgot ?
It's almost like history is an elusive ghost that can be warped into what ever you all want.
Cloning was a rampage and
you all defended it and
many of you were paid to make them.
Such as YOU Biomech and HYP (
and all the others you named publicly on the HYP topic a year ago)
Forget Shakezulu made many coins on Cryptsy including some for Cryptsy staff ?
And in his publicly traded Devtome cloning guide he posted he said word for word
He does it for "fun and profit"
Same mentality / Attitude i seen with Coindesk when they ran a story called "Why coin cloning is good"
Scatter gun ?I think fucking not.
You are all just playing dumb now acting innocent and making me out to be a troll or what ever.
..as you NOW ride around on my coat tails echoing what ever i say..
long after the fact.How many times would i say on a Troll box.. ya but "Elephant Coin" is STILL coin #1,209 ?
And you would all say ya but ya but but but..
I don't hate "ALL" Altcoin(s) as i have been accused of endlessly either.I don't target anyone "randomly"
..i operate out of principle and my philosophy.And that is,
pointless cloning for profit is detrimental and self destructive to all of crypto.Know what BitJohn said to me countless times when i said that like 2 years back ?
He said ohh well.. it draws in new users. (such as with Doge)
And i said these are NOT the users we want to attract and they will make a stinky rotten mess then bolt !
They did ...as i predicted to the god damn day and posted a chart saying it on here.
I didn't just predict it.. i called it to the exact day.. and
i was right !AGAIN !Scatter gun ?Of course a guy who admitted to being paid to work on countless coins is going to say that.
Hell the main one i butt heads with you
Biomech was
HYP (a CENT rip-off made by Shakezulu)
..that was scammy as hell and so was HYP.
Being paid to make a High Stake coin like CENT then playing dumb to the outcome is silly.
Everyone knew what would happen except the victims lied to on Poloniex chat of course.
Who were fed TONS of bullshit about HYP then dumped on..
Hey drive a car into a Power pole.. what will happen ? Keep doing it.. you'll figure it out eventually. LOL
Say what you want but YOU are the greedy cloners making these shit coins not me !And you are the idiots working at Exchanges adding them.. not me !
Even when i said for years maybe don't feed your little children cake & ice cream for dinner every night just because they "
ASK" for it.. "demand"
YOU all made a ton of profit pulling all that shit for years.You banked large money i didn't..
i made a little arb'ing coins..
not MAKING THEM !
Now that you can NOT keep making tons of money from shitcoin cloning you all AS I PREDICTED
jumped on my coat tails and did a 180 with your attitude and now you all say cloning is bad.
What a crock of shit..
Because i know damn well who will erupt like Mnt. Saint Helens when the first chance they get to go back to cloning happens.
YOU anti-coin cloner "dev's" will be back to cloning in a heart beat if a huge crowd show up to by them like they did in late 2013.
You stopped because you had no choice..
your attitude changed because you had no choice.Did you all find Spoetnik's guide to Coin Cloning for fun & profit ?Of course not.. i never made one (or sold them privately either)
Shake sold his privately and also made two public tutorials ..one Scrypt and one SHA256
..for fun & profit.
PS:I STILL have shit-ton of of various logs going back to mid-2013 if you all wanna REALLY get into it
Just in case there is any discrepancy in my claims
