IOTA - Permissioned ledger Russian extortion scheme

[LiQio]

Did the original r0ach sell his account?

Pseudo-r0ach what's your take on the thread-locking? Looks highly suspicious, maybe a Russian spin-off of the 'Ndrangheta?

Cryptocurrency would be pretty boring without the Russians.  Every pool I've ever seen where some clown is trying to fake shares to steal coins from miners, the IP addresses always trace back to Russia.

Is that a hidden confession?

You think I sold my account?  Somebody like Smooth, Fluffypony, Wolf, Anonymint, or Realsolid can probably verify I haven't.

Yes.
Looking at the lineup, I would like to call RealSolid to the stand.

You weren't actually serious and have money in IOTA ICO and are worried this thread will do damage.

I was. Yes, but very little and I always prefer the red pill.
No, quite the contrary, I believe that the more exposure any kind of project gets the value of the coin tends to increase. Especially if "shady" characters and known trolls fill a thread at full speed. (It's known marketing tactics)

If you think I typed something in this thread that conflicts with past views (like thinking PoS might have some merit), it's definitely possible because it takes a long time before people are fully able to comprehend what can and can't be done while still remaining a decentralized currency.  Even the Gavinator speculated a long time ago that Bitcoin might turn into PoS someday, but he would likely want to erase or deny that comment now.

Maybe...

I'm sure someday Come from Beyond will look back and say, "Wow...NXT...what was I thinking...".  I'm sure he knows this IOTA coin is pretty flaky too, and the fact that it requires checkpoints out of the gate creates a chicken and egg scenario where no business would actually adopt it until the checkpoints are gone, but you can't remove checkpoints until businesses adopt it, so it turns into just some bizarre long con.  Issues like that are just in addition to the ones already posted in this thread.

There we have it again - not the original r0ach!

That phrase sounds familiar for some reason.

(Use Google, maybe you find the source)

But let's not leave our path, where is the person who could "verify"?

Yes, I am in charge of all account selling around here, and if I say it didn't happen, it didn't happen.

Yup, it's been stolen, that is way to weak for roach

Russian extortion scheme lol

Hey, it's not just me that has figured it out:

A BTC rise is needed at least for the next month or two to flush out the ICO scams that have been prevalent on the boards since January. All these MAID/WAVES/LISK/UPPERCASESCAMCOIN seem to be coming from the same type of factory. Until this new generation of crypto believers get burnt, they will not learn their lessons, however harsh that sounds. It doesn't mean some of the profiteers will change their stance or all of the ones getting burnt will learn, but that's just the way it is with money.

My post addressed to roach has been deleted. I bet in childhood you liked to call your elder brother often, roach?

Wasn't me, but someone also deleted my post with a picture of Tom Cruise bombing Russia.

[Come-from-Beyond]

Wasn't me

Oh, sorry then, wrong guess.

mods have been catching up today. They nuked two of mine (and those of the antagonist) in the IOHK thread that I flagged for deletion on the racist allegation argument.

Russian and Florida scum worked together to steal from ShapeShift:

Although this implicates also an American (with a prior police record), the second and third attacks would not have likely been possible without the cooperation of a hacker ethos in Russia and ostensibly the attitude that they are immune from Western laws.

Sounds like Americans are not immune to Russian laws...

When I start Bitcoin island, I will probably still allow Russians even though every incident I've ever seen of someone attempting to fake shares to steal coins from miners on pools originated from there.

I'm not Russian, but am still from Eastern Europe and can tell a counter-example:

Long time ago I found a way to easily steal shares from Litecoin pool run by pooler. The problem was in coblee's code used by the pool. Instead of stealing I reported the bug to pooler, he probably will recall that (it was 3 years ago) if you ask him. This fact contradict to your guesses showing how far you are from the reality.

Ah the ole' magic trick, "lookie over here at my pinky finger waging the dog, come out of your seats for closer view", while his accomplice is rummaging through all the purses left behind on the chairs which is legally and jurisdictionally justified because there is a sign on the wall, "We are not liable for belongings left unattended".

I think TPTB_need_war meant to use the idiom "wagging the dog" but I immediately thought of this:

That's myself on the far left, rpietila is to my immediate left, smooth is smoking the pipe with ArticMine to his left. The little chap sneaking the card under the table is David, and CfB is trying to maintain his non-culpability by not actually reaching out for it.
