Sorry about that mate. The Paper is from another group (System Security) in the University, I'm in Distributed Computing.
As far as I can tell we don't have any relevant computational power working on Bitcoin, I'm just relaying the blocks faster than others in the network.

Thank you, mate! And I'm feeling with you about your lost coins!

Thanks, it came really by surprise, and there I was believing I was secure... Well it goes to show that understanding something does not protect you from stupid mistakes.

Anyway, sorry to have caused such an uproar, I'm just trying to improve the network, but if you still feel the need to block me I'm using the user agent string "/Snoopy:0.1/ETH Zurich/PlanetLab/"

Can you at least tell us if you found any significant flaws in the system? Smiley

There are no new flaws from my side, as a researcher it is my ethical duty to inform the developers of anything that I find. Otherwise I'd be unable to publish my research results Cheesy

The answer is yes. Bitcoin is under attack, by a small group of people who feel they are representatives of bitcoin, who have a lot to gain by being perceived as such, and who are trying to centralize bitcoin.

NOT a member of the so called ''Bitcoin Foundation''. Choose Independence!

Few days ago I have seen someone complaining about snoopy constantly contacting him while not answering any requests. Good to know what it is and who's running it. Good luck in your research.

Could you show me the post, if it's a problem on my side I'll fix it.
