inbox, are you claiming you never tried to defraud masterxchange in any way?
Inbox tried to pull a fast one. even if he has a legit history, he tried to fuck MasterXchange. On the other hand, MasterXchange tried very hard to be cooperative. they: 1) Exposed this bullshit attempt, 2) worked hard with the devos and Johnston to sort out the problem, 3) kept us all informed of the issue, 4) kept cool under pressure.
MastercoinX should never give back those coins. either keep them or donate them to the MSC foundation for new security programs. Inbox was clearly a raging dick in his approach.
I didn't like MastercoinX so much - but now I do.
Mastercoin is imperfect. Some people are trying to make it awesome, some other people are trying to make a profit from its flaws. MastercoinXchange proved a model citizen for the Mastercoin ecosystem and I for one am glad to have them. Inbox tried some bullshit to steal from others which could have severely crippled the whole thing.
I hope the community will join me in supporting MastercoinXchange and condemning inbox.
If you think I don't know what I am talking about, I'll show you over 1000 of my MSC which had different conclusions on different platforms. I didnt' run off and attempt a double spend like that asshole Inbox. I stayed calm and asked the devos to work on it. I could easily have made a $50,000 profit off this flaw. It could have killed MSC. Everyone must contribute to improve the system. Inbox tried to fuck his neighbors - and for that he should pay.
we all have to work together to make this thing more perfect. Mastercoin is going to be incredible. But whenever some dick tries to take advantage of its weaknesses before the devos can fix them, I say we strike out against them.
Inbox - you lost your deposit for being an asshole. I hope you learnt a lesson and don't do it again. MastercoinXchange - don't give those coins back. Put them into the penalty box and use them for improvement of future security. No claims of innocence should release those coins. You did the right thing. Keep it up. If MasterXchange kept those, I wouldn't complain and I would actually support them. But if MastercoinXchange did the right thing, they'd spend those coins on a bounty to fix some important security issue. Inbox - you shall pay the price.
Inbox shall pay for the improved security of mastercoin for that bullshit move.
Hi,
I don't understand what I did wrong. Yes I am claiming I didn't try to defraud them in any way.
I deposited 262msc which was not credited by the exchange due to a bug which was accidentally discovered a few minutes prior. I contacted them via email, and they told me the tx was invalid (it was valid, just showing invalid on mastercoin-explorer). There was no double spend or attempt to. They told me to take it up with mastercoin-exchange,
which i did 10min after (Tachikoma can verifiy). The balance in mastercoin explorer was showing 212msc which were in fact fake, so I tried to send them to the exchange which were credited instantly. I did send a request for withdrawal because I didnt think there would be a problem since the exchange still had the 262msc which were never credited, soon after I cancelled this request.
Why would I try to pull a fast one on them when I was actively trying to get all of this sorted out? I shouldn't have created the 2nd account with the 300msc, but I was curious to see if the bug in mastercoin-explorer was a fluke or could have been reproduced multiple times. I knew the mastercoins deposits would be audited, why would I do anything stupid? I even told them about the fake account.
The whole time I was in contact with Adrien from the exchange. I loved their exchange and had been using it for 1 week on the same account, it's a great exchange and very convenient to trade msc. We are all in this together trying to make mastercoin succeed. I intended no harm towards the exchange and I am truly sorry for the extra account I made. I did not try anything stupid with the duped msc, they were notified that I did indeed create the fake account. I didn't hide anything from them, I did not crash msc to zero, nor did withdraw msc that weren't mine.
Why did I contact Tachikoma straight away to fix the bug 10minutes after they told me my tx was invalid (it was 100% valid), and the bug fix that.
The whole time I was in contact with Adrien trying to get this sorted out.
I don't think someone malicious would have done these things.
All I wanted was the bug to be fixed and my original 262msc credited. I am not a hacker, I don't know much about computer security. We are all in this together and I still expect my account to be reactivated and msc credited.
