How does one guy plan to shut down a p2p network?

you answered your own question...

Oh.  I didn't know ya'l let -one- guy call ALL the shots.  Sole 'developer', sure.  But ya'll give that much power?  Holy crap.

Edit: I'm sure this is what CH is thinking right now,

Going after solidcoin might get BCE 51% of the Bitcoin network. Lots of people don't like that chain. While SC going offline is technically a win for Skynet, I think they are only delaying the inevitable. Unless of course you think CoinHunter's l33t skillz can actually save Solidcoin. We see how well he has done so far...

[johnj]

Again do you think about what you post? How in the hell are you going to hit the "off" switch on a P2P network?

yeah I'm all for freedom of speech and all.. but it is normally reserved for the commons. If anyone really wants BTC to be taken seriously or any of the coins, there really needs to be some house cleaning here.


And yes I do think these people can be prosecuted, all you have to do is prove $5000 worth of damages which isnt that hard. I'm just surprised yall let the childish idiots post here. You know if I was thinking of investing in bitcoin or opening my store up to bitcoin, there is where I would come to learn about bitcoin and if that is a good idea and the way yall let the trolls and hackers attack the place with impunity, wont give anyone a good feeling in their stomach.

I do have a question. WHY DO WE HAVE THE NEWBIE AREA IF WE LET EVERYONE ACT LIKE CHILDREN WHEN THEY GET INTO THE MAIN FORUMS? Spam? REALLY? This place is starting to look like a huge joke.

And No I dont deny that a post or two of mine probably should have been deleted but seriously there are people who should have been banned from this forum long ago. If you want total free speech, make a free speech subreddit, make sure their posts dont show up on anyones "Show unread posts since last visit." and clean the hell out of the rest of the area.


Yes we do need a security subforum, and yes we do need to find out about flaws in the network, but the way these people are exposing flaws is criminal and if yall dont do anything about them at all, BTC is doomed to irrelevance for ever.

Exactly how I feel about it.
This forum is doing more damage than good to Bitcoin at the moment.
A lot of FUD, scandals, threats, hacks and other shit going on.

And almost nothing is done about it...

One person, like BitcoinEXpress can close exchanges and drop value of 2 chains, just by posting some FUD here.

And we allow it...
If we want Bitcoin (or any other chain) to survive, we must take drastic measures, or fail...

Newsflash for you.

This isn't the main forum for Bitcoin, infact it is everything BUT Bitcoin, maybe that's why they call it "Alternate Cryptocurrencies" ?  

The main BTC forums are very civil. My suggestion is that if you can't handle it, stay out of Alt-Coin section.

Second newsflash for you

This forum, Bitcointalk IS NOT the official forum.

Isn't it nice to work with factual details now?

You just proofed my point.

I very much want an open exposure of flaw discovery.  I'd rather a 'hit pool' be started now while the pool is (mostly) ethical and speed up security development.

The problem Magnet, is that it isn't FUD, I have proven it to the people that matter even Coinhunter.

It's FUD... You are not capable of doing anything... You don't even have 30Ghash.

Dudes, that is just like a normal process, the rise and fall of an online community it happens every time, though it doesn't die it just changes like all things in life and especially online.

In the mean time enjoy the show. I do - imo SC and to an extent namecoin is just as much cancer to the bitcoin project as trolling. And if you lay back it's not really trolling just a form of mental retardation from an overdose of greed.
You'll get over it.

and once you do you can start doing something useful.

Bitcoin express is a childish troll.

News flash, it doesnt matter if this is the official forums, it is where people come.

news flash it doesnt matter if this is the sub forum alt-coin, you still have to go through the newbie section to get here.

news flash you are still doing more harm and this forum is doing more harm to btc and good.

news flash you will probably end up in legal trouble once all your games are done.

news flash this crap sounds pretty childish cause I am emulating a child.

It is nice to work with facts dont you think?

[Coinbuck @ BTCLot]

What about less talk and more work ?

thats just retarded to say legitimate competition is just as bad as people hacking the networks and trolling the forums. It really is.

[joulesbeef]

roll your eyes if you want, I was just showing you what it looks like when we all come down to bitcoin expresses level. Your eye rolls just proves my point.


and if you look at my past posts on the same subject, you know like the ONE YOU SELECTIVELY QUOTED FROM... YOU WOULD SEE LINES LIKE THIS RIGHT UNDER WHERE YOU SELECTIVELY QUOTED FROM.

And No I dont deny that a post or two of mine probably should have been deleted but seriously there are people who should have been banned from this forum long ago.

I never denied that at times I sunk to the bitcoin express level, even when I am not trying to make a point on how childish it looks. I'm just not a constant child like bitcoinexpress is.

It kinda helps to not selectively quote people, unless you are trying to make people misconstrue what was said, which is mighty childish in itself.
