Bryce Weiner's reputation as a crypto scammer dates all the way back to 2014. He's famous for running pump n dump schemes, moving from one coin to the next like they were short-lived pets. Here's a summary of what happened with one of his more famous involvements:

First “Razortech” (an anonymous developer out of nowhere nobody knows about) created a coin called Razor (RZR), which was a complete copy of a scamcoin called Neutrino (a 100% premined  scam https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=657607.0). Razortech just copied the idea (using Tor) and code of Neutrino, and made it without premine so that they could advertise the “No premine” shit to make the coin seem legit.

The coin tried to capitalise on the anonymity trend in shitcoins going on at the time (DRK, CRYPT, CLOAK and similar shitcoins), they knew the hype was gonna come. The coin had no premine, but the mining schedule was made so that there would be huge inflation (new coins mined) during the first weeks so that miners would profit big from noobs who would get exited about a new anon Tor coin (and bring the price to an unsustainable level right away).

Bryce Weiner (who worked at BlockTech at the time) saw the opportunity to get involved and hype a coin that would be highly profitable for miners (that's what he does, he creates new coins, he mines and dumps them “I make money out of thin air”  http://pastebin.com/VGyVPHN4)  so he started “working” and “developing” RZR along with RazorTech.

...

The coin started going apeshit on Twitter and Weiner was hyping it with all his strength. The inflation was ridiculous (250-300 BTCs a day) and some  were getting concerned and warned people (https://twitter.com/CryptoCobain/status/479939530733412352), but Weiner continued hyping (price was around 200k-300k satoshis at the time).

After a few days from RZR Bittrex listing, price crashed and pretty much continued crashing with some dead cat bounces here and there to eventually reach 5k satoshis (today's price).

Price continued bleeding with no real developments, no features, no new tech, no nothing.
Razortech and Weiner don't care, because their “MineHypeDump” mission was complete.

Now Razortech has gone missing, Devon Read (Blocktech CEO) said “we don't have plans to use Razor in anything”, and seems like Weiner will not develop the coin any further from here (https://twitter.com/BryceWeiner/status/529381868677128192).

Bryce Weiner is fired (“he quit for ethical reasons”, yeah right LMAO) from  Blocktech and he's probably gonna try to continue create new shitcoins while keeping the whole “MineHypeDump” scheme intact.

RZR was a con. A clusterfuck. A highly profitable (for early miners only though, dumping on noobs) cheap copy of a scamcoin that had 0 real developments since its launch.

Bryce Weiner is an incompetent developer who gets people screwed at best, an outright conman and scammer at worst.

Simply stay away from anything he touches as a developer.

He has washed, rinsed, repeated this cycle for years, always creating just enough room for him to escape responsibility for what happens with his projects.

His latest project, Tao (XTO), started off decently (other than the fact that it was associated with him), and actually had a significant run-up in 2017. By Dec 2018, it was delisted from CoinMarketCap, and today is only available for trading on one or two very small-time exchanges (averaging $100-$300 a day in trading volume).

With Tao being all-but-dead, he has decided to re-launch the coin as "Tao 2," under the premise that it would be an "Ethereum for the music economy."

The Tao 2 launch was first mentioned in the long-running Tao ANN thread on March 26th:


Hey ACG. Is this project still alive?...

Hey Syn, yes it still is. The Ethereum-based relaunch is in a test stage (all the code has been written) and last time Bryce posted a specific update was nine days ago:



Based on comments he's made on Twitter more recently, it sounds like we'll see the Tao 2.0 relaunch by April sometime around the time the stimulus checks start hitting bank accounts.

The GitHub link for the project was posted in the Tao ANN thread by the project's main supporter on April 6th.

It was quickly brought to light that instead of forking Ethereum, Weiner created a clone of TomoChain, naming it Tao 2, carefully scrubbing any reference to "TomoChain" and replacing it with "Tao". Someone who took the time to compare the repositories offered the following summary of the differences:

You may want to doublecheck the "work" that Bryce does on the tao2 repo btw - as far as I can tell it's all changing constants back and forth that don't actually matter, and fixing (or "fixing" - removing the unit test) the odd bug introduced by the search-and-replace on tomochain -> tao.

In addition, the README file for Tao 2 (archived) is basically just a copy/paste of the README file for TomoChain. Here is a sample comparison of the two:





Just to make sure this was a direct, unattributed clone (basically plagiarized) version of TomoChain, I asked somebody in the TomoChain thread for their opinion, and this was the response I received:

Something seems fishy here. He cloned the repo and took care to delete every mention of the name "TomoChain" in the code and also in the general description.
You would not do that if you were just playing around with the code out of interest.
But he did not change the rest of the description or stated that his project is a clone of TomoChain.
To me that looks like he does not want people to know that it's a clone.

He named it by his old project tao which seems to be around since 2016 but has been kicked of most exchanges and is trading near zero volume today.
Maybe he will relaunch the project on the cloned chain to generate hype. He could "premine" the majority of coins and make even more since he would have the highest staking weight by far. If he generates enough hype and trading volume he can dump his coins and make a goof profit. I know I am assuming a lot but I have seen this happen over and over again.

Basically, Weiner is gearing up for a new fleecing of investors by copy/pasting a project and claiming it as his own, as he did back in his RazorCoin days. Given Weiner's penchant for rolling out scam after scam on this forum, I think its high time his account was tagged for being a scammer, as well as that of his most vocal (and apparently only) supporter.

The flag for the Tao ANN creator is here.

LMFAO You can all try to rewrite history except everyone who matters knows how shit went down.

I'm only replying here because these people are literally the worst human beings to crawl out of the BCT slimepit and they are just mad they couldn't be me if I became them.

Razor was a scam?  LMFAO Hells no it wasn't.

None of it was.  You're just the same salty cunts I never cut in years ago still mad at your own impotence.  No new thread is gonna make you right and me some kind of bad guy.

It hasn't happened in all this time and it never will, because I'm just not that guy.

Carry on. This is my new fan club thread.

So... No comment on the fact that you ripped off TomoChain line-for-line and called it "Tao 2"?

I was hoping you would at least provide some sort of excuse for why you plagiarized their work.

Nutilduh is a serial scammer, and is one of a group of useless trolls who have stalked Bryce for years. See how easy it is to call someone a scammer?

FYI, just because there may not currently be an attribution in the public repo does not justify the accusation of "sCaM1," it just reveals Nut's pathetic confirmation bias.

Nut can't even get his facts straight or keep to a consistent story: in the OP for this thread he claims that Bryce is "famous for running pump n dump schemes, moving from one coin to the next like they were short-lived pets" which directly contradicts the fact that Bryce has been working on Tao and the related legit, tax-paying businesses built on it consistently for at least 3.5 years since Tao launched in 2016.

For example, here's a post from last year when one of the other troll/sock puppet accounts claimed nothing had been done with Tao since it launched:

You miss the point dunce, after 3 years of nothingness your house token is worthess and you're on about "i CaNt WaIt To sEe wHo tHe BaNd Is" The band will be nobodies who go nowhere and will soon say Bryce weiner lied and stole from them. Rinse, repeat.

 Dude, did you switch accounts again?  Roll Eyes

"3 years of nothingness" I can't even. This entire thread (other than you trolling with your various accounts) almost entirely consists of documentation of things accomplished by Bryce and co.

Let me see, off the top of my head:

  • 2016 Tao launches with a fully regulatory compliant ICO, raising $100K and launching the network
  • Within a few weeks he had a working proof of concept website for the originally planned approach of securing song rights on the blockchain
  • Partnership with Peter Rafelson, a man who is deeply connected in Hollywood and the music industry, as documented elsewhere in the thread
  • Hosted a small conference on music rights and blockchain with Bryce and Peter, the audience included representatives from Pandora. Discussions with them led to the smart decision to pivot to the current model of helping bands raise/make money with crypto instead of using a blockchain for song rights
  • Founded a recording company, Infiniti Music
  • Founded the company AltMarket with intent to launch an exchange
  • Successfully lobbied congress and secured an invite to meet with the SEC. Has full support from the law.
  • Ran their first pilot test of Initial Artist Offerings with ODBcoin, helping put ODB's son Young Dirty on the national stage
  • AltMarket exchange opened
  • APIs set up
  • Ran a successful radio campaign on major radio station KBLX in San Francisco, advertising a cryptocurrency conference AltMarket sponsored. This was a test of upcoming radio ads they have planned for some of the biggest national markets to advertise FanMix and the artists
  • FanMix built
  • Referral system paying cryptocurrency rewards built & working
  • First band comes tomorrow. Has an existing, enthusiastic fanbase but is not signed. Will be able to raise funds without signing away their recording rights to a record label.
  • More bands will follow
  • A portion of all dollars spent on FanMix will buy Tao off the market, providing automated buy support using the APIs mentioned above

Yes, you're right!  thREEEEEEEEEEE yEaRs oF nOtHiNgNeSs11!  Cheesy

http://fanmix.biz/first-fanmix-artist-launching-this-thursday-nov-14/


OMFG I was going to post this and you've signed into yet ANOTHER account to troll the thread. You guy(s) are just sad.

Also worth mentioning is that the network has been consistently staking and functioning without significant problems that entire time.  

Since anybody with a clue knows that the price and volume are not relevant to the legitimacy of a cryptocurrency, I trust you won't bother bringing up the price or trading volume. Oh wait, your OP tried to present the fact that CMC doesn't currently list it as if that somehow delegitimized it. It's perhaps too much to expect from Nut to realize the only reason is that CMC lists based on volume, not legitimacy.   Roll Eyes


Nut goes on to claim Tao2 or Tao 2.0 (same thing) was first mentioned in March, like this is some kind of gotcha, even though it was actually mentioned by that name at least as far back as February

Tao update for Feb 19, 2020:

As previously mentioned, Tao is doing a relaunch with all new codebase forked from Ethereum, implementing masternodes and delegated proof of stake to replace the current PoS.


and I mentioned it, just not with the "Tao2" or "Tao 2.0" name back in January:


Also, a reminder that Tao masternodes will be activated this year.  Wink

which itself was something I'd mentioned before but I can't be bothered to look for the post to quote.

Nut and the other trolls make the same empty accusations over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again, yet can never actually refute any evidence or arguments I present to the contrary.  I will not rehash this yet again, even if they've resorted to libeling my account with negative feedback even though I have never done anything but present the information I had in good faith.

Prediction: Nutduh will double down on his baseless assertions and insults, without once responding above the red line in the pyramid image of Graham's Hierarchy of Argument you'll see quoted below:


<image of ROI caculator and old Bryce tweet removed to not waste space>
Trade volume is not a relevant metric to determine the legitimacy of a project.

Neither is price--which is the result of the aforementioned low volume. Just because the price is lower in the bottom of a market cycle doesn't indicate his statement was incorrect, either. Note there was no time frame specified which *might* give you some sort of point.




Roll Eyes Jeez. I will ask yet again, the question I ask the trolls in this thread which I don't think has *ever* been answered: if Bryce is a scammer, why has he met with and had positive, cooperative meetings with regulators including the SEC as documented multiple times on his twitter feed and in this thread?

Who cares? He managed to fool a few bureaucrats for a few minutes. He is very small time and wasn't on their radar. I guarantee you they don't remember meeting with him by this point. It was a PR move designed for scam defenders such as yourself to continue milking it years later.

You think its not possible to simultaneously be a scammer and have briefly met with some bureaucrats? If so, you're even less intelligent than I previously suspected.


Pete, it's telling that you resort to insults and misrepresentation so often in this thread. Not sure if it's a pattern with you elsewhere, but you'd do yourself a service to stay above the line in this diagram as you're only discrediting yourself to anyone reading this thread with an unbiased eye.


So let's go through this point by point, shall we?

Now, unlike you, I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are not intentionally misrepresenting the regulators he met with as "bureaucrats," in an attempt to downplay their status in the US government. Perhaps that word is used differently where you live, but the general meaning in the US is a minor official with little power. A sort of pencil pusher who enforces rules in a rigid fashion, not someone who passes laws, makes the rules, and is high up in the government.

Since I believe you're from the UK, I will be charitable and assume you are merely unfamiliar with the people and their positions in the US government.

First off, Bryce and his lawyer Tom Osinski met with Representative Mike McCaul in 2018. McCaul is a member of Congress and was the Chair of the United States House Committee on Homeland Security at the time. He is currently the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_McCaul

He is in a very powerful position that is high up in the US government, not just some petty bureaucrat as you appear to be implying.

In addition to meeting with Rep. McCaul, Bryce and Tom Osinski met with Ted Budd, a member of the House of Representatives who sits on the Financial Services Committee:



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Budd

In response to meeting with Bryce, Budd wrote a letter on his behalf to the Securities and Exchange Commission, which helped secure a friendly meeting between Bryce and the SEC.



You remember the SEC, right? You wasted your time filing a report with them about Bryce at my suggestion a few weeks ago. In case you aren't familiar with their function, I'll quote their Wikipedia entry:

Quote
The SEC holds primary responsibility for enforcing the federal securities laws, proposing securities rules, and regulating the securities industry, which is the nation's stock and options exchanges, and other activities and organizations, including the electronic securities markets in the United States.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Securities_and_Exchange_Commission

So he has lobbied and met with lawmakers with direct power over the cryptocurrency industry. If he is the scammer that you and others claim, why would he do this? Why would the SEC take no issue with him and seemingly approve of his conduct?


So back it up. Make your case. Give me a decent argument for your position, and stick to the top three layers of Graham's Hierarchy of arguments so we know you're making valid points.

What specifically is the scam? What kind of scam are we talking about? Some form of fraud? What?

Who is he scamming? Is he scamming representatives the US government, or are you alleging that they are in on the scam?

If he was dumping coins for profit, which there's no evidence that he is, why would he dump at the bottom of the market? Wouldn't he just be scamming himself at that point? If this were a pump and dump, wouldn't he have pumped the price up and dumped it at the top? That is how those things work, you know.

Do you have any specific evidence that he is running a scam, or are you just one of those silly Bitcoin maximalists who makes the absurd blanket assertion that all alts are scams simply because they're not BTC?

That kind of thing makes as much sense as saying that Internet Explorer, or Opera browser, or Safari, or Firefox, etc. are "scams" because they're not Netscape.

And please, don't waste our time by posting the same old repetitive links to claims by traders who lost money when Bryce abandoned Razorcoin because his lawyer told him to, or any of the similar posts which have been endlessly spammed in this thread over the years.

Just because confused crypto traders shout "scam," does not make their claims valid. Just because the price or the volume are not above a certain level does not make the project a scam. Abandoning early crypto experiments and walking away from former partners do not constitute scams.

If those links were evidence of fraud or other illegal activity, he would have gotten into trouble with the SEC years ago, especially after falling under their scrutiny by approaching members of the House of Representatives and meeting with the SEC itself. I mean, come on. Seriously.

Convince me with a reasoned argument, sticking to the valid top part of the pyramid image above, and I'll be happy to discuss it with you like adults. OK?

I have been acting in good faith in this thread for years now, despite your insults and implications. I have provided evidence and rational arguments.

If you are acting in good faith as well, then surely you can do the same? If your position is valid, surely you can back it up legitimately? I mean, is that really so much to ask??

Given the documented history of Bryce having positive, friendly meetings with literally some of the most powerful "law and order" people in the US government, including the fucking Securities Exchange Commission which is a regulatory body directly involved in policing the crypto markets, how tf do you think your accusations make sense?

They don't.

This accusation is so off base, I actually encouraged one of the other trolls to report Bryce to the SEC back in January. Which he did  Cheesy

OK Peter, like I said,


If you are so convinced that this is illegal securities trading, I encourage you to report Bryce to the relevant authorities.  Please, do it. I'm serious. Please do.


Thanks for passing on the link. Done.

So if reporting Bryce to the SEC-- who fully approves of his behavior-- comes to nothing, I kinda think Nut is wasting his time, too.

Since there's actually no scam.

Something which should be beyond obvious at this point.




P.S. Yes, I'm calling Nutduh names, which is resorting to the bottom of Graham's Hierarchy, but I'm beyond tired of bad-faith actors like him who have repeatedly insulted me without basis, and made asses of themselves in the Tao thread for literally years.

I've been polite, I've responded sincerely in good faith, and they've demonstrated again and again that they don't deserve my normal civility. I dipped below the line in the pyramid above, but only because I'm beyond fed up dealing with these nitwits, and only after years of wasting my breath giving good-faith, specific answers to comments and questions in this forum.

So deal with it.

None of this refutes the fact that Bryce heavily plagiarized the TomoChain project. He did not accredit TomoChain as the source of _anything_ despite directly ripping it off, copying it line-for-line and word-for-word. That is extremely dishonest and a tactic often used by scammers. It's also completely disallowed in the professional and academic worlds. If you were a scientist you would be shamed by the community who would never let you forget it for the rest of your career. If you were a student you would be expelled. There's absolutely no reason why it should be acceptable here.

You know what's funny? It's funny how Nutildah is so blinded by his 5-6 year long rage-on for Bryce, and his constant frustration at how there's literally no scam in Tao, and that Bryce has the approval of the government regulators that Nutildah hates, that he jumped the gun and blew his load over nothing.   Cheesy

I mean, one would expect that after all of this long experience shitposting on Bitcointalk and posting his articles for Coinclarity that he'd understand that the process of cloning one open source crypto from another generally starts with duplicating the repo and doing a mass search and replace of the name and coin symbol.

And in his feverish eagerness to joyously shout "sCaM!11" and post this thread, Nut didn't consider that maybe this alleged "plagiarism" might simply be literally how you fork a new crypto. Just a work in process, and that the readme file simply hasn't been edited yet because there were more interesting and important steps to take first, and it's not like the new network has been publicly launched yet.

Guess he didn't think of this much more reasonable explanation, but instead attacked and dragged people's reputation.


That said, I have a question. Since you try to present yourself and the accounts you're aligned with as "scam busters," I wonder if you'd comment on the ethics and honesty of using sockpuppet accounts to your advantage.

What do you think of using multiple accounts to brigade a thread and constantly harass other users? And what do you think of let's say, using a high profile account to endorse and support an ICO while secretly being a member of the ICO team?

I wonder if you'll actually respond to this question, or if you'll just delete this comment as you've done with other comments in this thread? Let's see.

It's funny how Nutildah is so blinded by his 5-6 year long rage-on for Bryce, and his constant frustration at how there's literally no scam in Tao, and that Bryce has the approval of the government regulators that Nutildah hates, that he jumped the gun and blew his load over nothing.   Cheesy

As is typical of scammers and their defenders, you are trying to throw this back on me with stupid accusations that have nothing to do with anything instead of addressing the actual situation. This thread isn't about me, its about Tao.

Please try to concentrate on answering these questions:

1. Why wouldn't Bryce just do a proper fork of TomoChain on GitHub that reflects where he got the source code from instead of scrubbing any sort of attribution to the code's creators? That way it wouldn't seem like he was trying to hide anything. For months he (and you) said he was doing a fork of Ethereum, then surprise, he cloned TomoChain with no attribution whatsoever, just find/replacing "TomoChain" with "Tao," meanwhile bragging to his Slack followers about all the hard work he had been doing.

2. Do you really think its OK for Bryce to literally copy word-for-word the summary of a project and pass it off as his own? Please take a closer look at how much of the TomoChain summary Bryce plagiarized for Tao 2:





He even copied "More details can be found at our whitepaper", didn't even bother to change it to "in our whitepaper."  Cheesy How much lazier can you get??

That is the definition of plagiarism. It is laziness at best and an intellectual property rights infringement at worst. Either way, why would you promote a project whose creator can't be bothered to explain it using his own words? This is a classic hallmark of a scam. The scammer is so short-sighted about their project that they don't spend time on important little details, like say, having an original fucking mission statement.

Yet here you are trying your hardest to get people to pay attention to anything other than the above.

The fact that either Weiner's or notsofast's sockpuppets and/or Twitter minions are working overtime in an attempt to impugn my character confirms that I am barking up what is assuredly the right tree. There's no way I'm letting this go. My best advice to you would be to just fuck off from this forum, but if you insist on staying, I will do everything I can to dissuade a new round of suckers from losing money in yet another Bryce Weiner scam.

Answer the two questions. If you side-step them in favor of pursuing tangential bullshit that is not relevant to Weiner's actions, I will ignore you and just assume its because you know you are in the wrong.

Remember, I'm not the one asking people to invest money in a project which I am already invested, you are.

As is typical of scammers and their defenders, you are trying to throw this back on me with stupid accusations that have nothing to do with anything instead of addressing the actual situation. This thread isn't about me, its about Tao.


Can you explain why you are creating this accusations against Bryce, Tao and many other users and projects and then write an article on your blog and post a link of your blog https://coinclarity.com/spotting-a-scamcoin-number-1/ to click bait and gain visitors and because of that gain some money on advertising to make a cheap life in the Philippines?
Many here know how Github and how cloning a coin works, the coin was forked from another open source coin, and what? not everything is a copy of another thing but improved?
You are confused on what is "original" and what is a "copy" and really who cares, you see, no one is paying attention to the scam accusation against Bryce, what is news here is that you got busted more than once, and what is worst, you got busted with your troll tactics accusing others writing about it on your blog to earn cheap money.
We all seen who you really are, why are you still denying it, no one is "accusing" you, like you are saying, is 100% positive, you made a mistake and got busted.
And stop deleting posts, they all screenshot, saved, archived....
Dishonest.

Again, another attempt at misdirecting away from Bryce getting caught plagiarizing a project to launch yet another scam.

I have provided concrete proof of Bryce's plagiarism. Not you, not ACGCrypto, and not even he has denied it. Knowing his long-time penchant for running scams, he is no doubt preparing to launch another one under the guise of "Tao 2.0"

"Many here know how Github and how cloning a coin works, the coin was forked from another open source coin, and what?"

And many more don't know how it works. There are ways of performing a GitHub fork to properly accredit the source code. Bryce avoided doing that, hoping nobody would notice, instead telling his Slack followers about all the "hard work" he was doing.

If this issue didn't matter so much, you wouldn't be here, pathetically attempting to dox me. How does knowing my real life identity in any way change the fact that Bryce is a scammer and notsofast is a scam supporter? It doesn't.



Speaking of notsofast, who apparently has been a "lowkey supporter of Tao" (as someone put it) (and now high-key supporter), let's delve into his track record for a minute. Wonder why he deleted this tweet, which said this:

Quote
I like @CryptoBridge as a kickass, incentivized gateway-based exchange.
Imminently, I expect @The_Blocknet (with Ethfinex and $ZRX integration) to dominate the space for decentralized multichain protocols: dex and anything else you can build.



What happened with CryptoBridge that would make him delete his tweet? Well, let's find out.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/cryptobridge-closes-down-and-waves-relaunches-dexs-face-tough-times

Quote
CryptoBridge was founded in July 2017 as “a gateway which provides access to BitShares: a high performance, scalable blockchain” that, in turn, allows users to trade established cryptocurrencies as well as “up-and-coming tokens and altcoins.” To fund the development of the software platform, CryptoBridge launched a native token called BridgeCoin, allegedly distributing 50% of all trade revenue to its stakeholders...

In October 2019, the exchange announced that all its new and existing and customers were required to submit user verification before continuing to deposit and withdraw funds in order to protect both themselves and CryptoBridge from “being held responsible for any illegal intentions or money laundering activities.”..

Then, on Dec. 2, the DEX announced that all of the firm’s services and servers will be terminated within two weeks. Users will be able to withdraw funds from the exchange until Dec. 15 — the last day of operation...

After the announcement was made, CryptoBridge immediately shut down all of its social media channels...

According to the trader, enacting Know Your Customer and Anti-Money Laundering procedures “was not an oversight but clearly intentional on Cryptobridge’s part.” After u/Apollohasgas provided CryptoBridge with their personal information including full name and residential address as well as scans of their driver’s license and passport, the platform’s administration requested a copy of u/Apollohasgas’ latest tax return.  “I did not comply with that request,” the trader told Cointelegraph, adding:

“I then contacted CB support asking for help and expressing my frustration that so much of my personal information was being requested. I never heard back from them. Cryptobridge is a scam. I have come to learn that many in the crypto community are aware of this.

This happened to hundreds of customers. The dumbest thing about all this is CryptoBridge was supposed to be a DEX, so requiring KYC (2 weeks before closing) was especially shady.

If there was any doubt about notsofast being an ardent CryptoBridge supporter, this should put it to rest (taken from an archived version of the CryptoBridge website homepage):



Despite having a history of objecting to KYC implementation in exchanges, he had no problem absolving himself (and CB) of any wrongdoing by means of conducting a "poll" on his twitter:



notsofast may have just been an unwitting participant and I'm not saying he necessarily did anything wrong, but his judgment certainly is suspect, especially knowing he had prior history of promoting scam projects on the forum.



Indeed, the assumption that the project was a scam was correct, as project founder "AceOfWallStreet" fled with all his investors' money, but not before pulling one final exit pump scam on Bittrex.





Again, it could be possible that @notsofast was again just an unwitting participant in another scam.

Interestingly, notsofast and AceOfWallStreet were co-advisors of another project called Taylor that was supposed to be a "personal trading assistant" app. Taylor reached its soft cap of 500 ETH in 10 minutes, raising close to 3,100 ETH by the end of the token sale.



On May 22nd, 2018, the Taylor team announced that they had been the victims of a hacking, claiming that 2,578 of the 3,100 ETH had been mysteriously stolen, along with all of the "TAY tokens from the Team and Bounty pools." (?) Seemingly nobody bought this idea, especially not the investors:

Quote
First step to rebuild your shattered reputation is to hire an impartial crypto forensics team to find out exactly how this (so called) hack occured.

Talk to the CoinDash (now Bloq) team. They successfully traced thier hacker and got 20,000 ETH back: https://www.zdnet.com/article/hacker-returns-20000-eth-stolen-during-coindash-ico/

If the SmartTaylor team does not get an impartial crypto forensics team in, they will just look exit scammers.

notsofast did chime in with his opinion of what happened after being asked for it on twitter:



This statement by the Taylor team received a few responses with an underlying theme behind them:







Taylor's last development update was made in March 2019, the reception of which was summarized in one particularly succinct comment:



So, even with such a terrible track record of getting caught up in scam after scam, its quite possible that notsofast is just a hapless investor/advisor with extremely poor judgment when it comes to picking projects. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt and assume this is the case: is there any reason why anybody should be following him or participating in projects he puts his name to, or even just casually mentions? I would say "no." But that's just me. Good thing he puts this disclaimer on his twitter profile:



Guess that means he doesn't think you should take him seriously either.

Who cares about the README file
you created this thread to send visitors to your blog and make money, you got caught deleting posts to cover up, pictures already shared on slack, what excuse you will say? it was your cat using your laptop? or you will say you are bipolar?
you malicious and cannot deny it, accuse others to make money is very low.
and why continue to go deep into the mud?
is because you different from others?
that is why you eat burger while all others eat fried chicken?

Man, I'm so glad you replied! I had a good laugh at you last night when you posted the first reply. I'm happy to reply to you and address your once again insubstantial allegations and petty smears.

Again, another attempt at misdirecting away from Bryce getting caught plagiarizing a project to launch yet another scam.
Incorrect, you little weasel. You're projecting your own failings on me. Try to be a better person. I addressed your statement and asked you a highly relevant pair of questions which you are attempting to misdirect from in your usual shady style.

Quote from: nutildah
I have provided concrete proof of Bryce's plagiarism. Not you, not ACGCrypto, and not even he has denied it. Knowing his long-time penchant for running scams, he is no doubt preparing to launch another one under the guise of "Tao 2.0"
Your long-time penchant for making unjustified claims of scams, you mean. Be honest. Come on. And it's far from concrete outside of your wild, impotent imagination.

Quote from: nutildah
"Many here know how Github and how cloning a coin works, the coin was forked from another open source coin, and what?"

And many more don't know how it works. There are ways of performing a GitHub fork to properly accredit the source code. Bryce avoided doing that, hoping nobody would notice, instead telling his Slack followers about all the "hard work" he was doing.

Firstly, you are purposefully and dishonestly misquoting me, allow me to paste in what I actually said:


I mean, one would expect that after all of this long experience shitposting on Bitcointalk and posting his articles for Coinclarity that he'd understand that the process of cloning one open source crypto from another generally starts with duplicating the repo and doing a mass search and replace of the name and coin symbol.

And in his feverish eagerness to joyously shout "sCaM!11" and post this thread, Nut didn't consider that maybe this alleged "plagiarism" might simply be literally how you fork a new crypto. Just a work in process, and that the readme file simply hasn't been edited yet because there were more interesting and important steps to take first, and it's not like the new network has been publicly launched yet.

Guess he didn't think of this much more reasonable explanation, but instead attacked and dragged people's reputation.

So yes, you deeply dishonest person, I did deny that using the readme file from an incomplete, in-process forking of a coin network is automatically and unambiguously an example of plagiarism, and provided an alternative explanation which you chose to ignore and misrepresent.

I didn't use the phrase "I deny it," but what I actually said, which you misrepresented of course, clearly is a denial.

Let me expand, since you're pretending not to understand and there may be readers who fall for your bullshit if they're not familiar with how creating an altcoin works.

This is a link to an old coin cloning guide that's been around for years.  You can find plenty of others with near-identical steps with a simple google search.

https://cryptocurrencytalk.com/topic/21854-how-to-clone-an-altcoin-scrypt-coin-edition-includes-largest-windows-guide-ever/

The specific steps are for cloning a scrypt coin forked directly or indirectly from Bitcoin's codebase. The instructions use cloning Litecoin as an example, but the basic steps apply to any Bitcoin-derived codebase.

I went through a lot of the process years ago to teach myself more about how cryptocurrency works but ended up getting hung up on dependency issues so never completed it. But I understand the process fairly well and the steps are broadly similar for an Ethereum-derived codebase such as Tomo.

So, as I previously mentioned, the first steps of the actual cloning process are

Quote
4. The Clone

    4a. Source Code
    4b. Copy and Replace Litecoin
    4c. Copy and Replace LTC

and then you continue with replacing other variables before firing up the network for the first time, etc.

So there's a process which doesn't include editing the readme file, which has nothing to do with getting the network to function and which can be easily edited later. Something any reasonable person would assume will happen, presumably before the network is publicly launched, which as I have pointed out has not happened yet.

Secondly, there are two ways I'm aware of to fork an open source repo. One is to click the fork button on GitHub, the other is to click the download button and edit the files locally before uploading the files to your repository.

Either is a legitimate way to fork open source software.

Yes, if one does the former, it puts a nice little link back to the original repo. I'm presuming this is what you're complaining he didn't do? Regardless of whether that little link is at the top, it's still quite clear from the commits where the code is derived from.

And since I'm willing to be more charitable with my interpretation of events than you are, I'm going to assume that there will ultimately be a copyright or similar attribution in the readme file or elsewhere at some point.

In fact, I will publicly state right here that I think Bryce should include a statement to that effect as it does seem like the correct way to do things. But I assume it was his plan anyway since I have no reason to believe otherwise.

Although either way, it still wouldn't justify the claim that the project is a scam.

So no, this is not sufficient evidence to cry plagiarism, and certainly not sufficient evidence to label it a scam. Especially given, as has been established, this is still a work in progress.

Your "evidence," as always has been the case with you and your various alt accounts and I assume associate(s), is pathetic and insubstantial.

As I mentioned, and as you quoted before you scrapped and reposted your reply,

You know what's funny? It's funny how Nutildah is so blinded by his 5-6 year long rage-on for Bryce, and his constant frustration at how there's literally no scam in Tao, and that Bryce has the approval of the government regulators that Nutildah hates, that he jumped the gun and blew his load over nothing.   Cheesy


Oh, and just to avoid having my time wasted by you trying a weak-assed semantic argument like you attempted in your earlier post:

Quote from: nutildah
For months he (and you) said he was doing a fork of Ethereum, then surprise, he cloned TomoChain

Forking Tomo is doing a fork of Ethereum in exactly the common parlance way that forking a coin from Litecoin or Peercoin, etc. is doing a fork of Bitcoin. Those two examples are derived, directly and indirectly respectively, from the Bitcoin codebase.

Tomo is derived from the Ethereum codebase. So forking from it is forked from Ethereum in the same way. So the statement stands.

I didn't know specifically which codebase he's using until recently; as I have mentioned previously in the Tao thread, all I am doing is passing along in good faith the information posted in the slack.

Quote from: nutildah
If this issue didn't matter so much, you wouldn't be here, pathetically attempting to dox me. How does knowing my real life identity in any way change the fact that Bryce is a scammer and notsofast is a scam supporter? It doesn't.

I am not attempting to dox you.

I have not posted your name, I don't have any idea or care what your address is, nor would I post it if I knew. Nor do I think anyone else should publicly dox you or anyone in your personal life.

You have, however, revealed what I have suspected for a long time: that there was one person lurking behind multiple accounts, using them dishonestly to harass, attack, and smear me and Bryce, and now NotSoFast.

That is your MO, your dishonesty is directly relevant and why I brought it up.

Just because you libel someone as a scammer does not make them one. Just because you libel me and NSF as "scam supporters," does not make it true.

Especially coming from a documented liar like yourself.

And from what I've seen right here on Bitcointalk, you appear to have engaged in at least one actual case of fraud. Your actions in that case seem to very likely be illegal in many jurisdictions as you posed as multiple people in an intentionally deceptive fashion. It also seems likely that those actions were also illegal by violating US securities laws.  

That's my belief and I'm not a lawyer, but I will provide evidence in a bit.

So since your MO is to act in an unethical and perhaps even illegal fashion, and then virtue signal by posing as a scam buster to hide your misdeeds, then yep it's relevant and is not an evasion.

I’ll post details about this below, starting under a double HR. In the mean time, back to your post

Quote from: nutildah


Speaking of notsofast, who apparently has been a "lowkey supporter of Tao" (as someone put it) (and now high-key supporter), let's delve into his track record for a minute.


No.

I'm not going to speculate on tangential claims I have no familiarity with. You can take that up with NotSoFast if he cares to answer them. All you are doing is the exact misdirection you falsely attribute to me.

Once again, this is part of your MO.

All I said was that he's owned Tao for a while. That's what "he's been a low key supporter" means. And I mentioned he recently spoke about it on his twitter feed. You're the one who has tried twisting that into something else.

As usual.  Roll Eyes

Quote from: nutildah
notsofast may have just been an unwitting participant and I'm not saying he necessarily did anything wrong
...
Again, it could be possible that @notsofast was again just an unwitting participant in another scam.
Hey look! You can manage a minimally charitable interpretation! Good for you! Keep it up, man.  You can become a better person when you actually try!




Now, let’s get to YOU. It has come to my attention that you are posting on at least two accounts.  You have used those accounts, and possibly others, to stalk the Tao thread and engage in what I would describe as targeted harassment for literally years.

You have made unfounded claims and personal smears, and I asked you the following question  in my last post:


That said, I have a question. Since you try to present yourself and the accounts you're aligned with as "scam busters," I wonder if you'd comment on the ethics and honesty of using sockpuppet accounts to your advantage.

What do you think of using multiple accounts to brigade a thread and constantly harass other users? And what do you think of let's say, using a high profile account to endorse and support an ICO while secretly being a member of the ICO team?

I wonder if you'll actually respond to this question, or if you'll just delete this comment as you've done with other comments in this thread? Let's see.


Of COURSE, you ignored the question and attempted to redirect to other topics which is exactly what you accused me of in some classic projection.

But I know for certain that you post as both Nutildah and Coinclarity. I know this from a mountain of evidence you yourself have posted here on Bitcointalk as well as on Coinclarity and elsewhere.  All of which has been archived, including a couple pieces of evidence you’ve hastily deleted to try to cover your ass such as a certain beach photo.



I will now answer the above question in your own words from all the way back in  2014:

Of course its unethical to pretend you are something you are not in order to make money. Again, it doesn't matter if everybody else is doing it, its wrong to be an impostor. Its not a matter of opinion. You're just trying to excuse bullshit behavior to make yourself feel better.



You're being legalistic I think.  He's doing what you and I are doing but with leverage with multiple accounts.  Now, if he's using those accounts to launch a fraud coin and giving it legitimacy by using 5 hero accounts then yeah, that would be both, illegal and unethical.  

But if he wants to use them to earn money and in some cases shift opinion and influence of a thread in his direction then I really don't see why that's bad.


Legalistically, there is no line between the two scenarios you just stated. It is all fraud if you are using impostor accounts to speak on your behalf.



In your own words, the above described behavior is legally and morally wrong. It is fraudulent.

Not only do I know you have engaged in this very same behavior to brigade the Tao thread, but you have done so while shilling for at least one ICO right here on Bitcointalk:





Selected comments from the YuTu ICO pre-ann



Benefits for Supporters:

Several ways to make bank off our platforms:

  • Trading YuTüCoin (YTC)
  • Purchasing PAQs for mining/hashing yAltcoin yaltz or futurely selling lower ID # PAQs for a handsome profit
  • Buying and selling yaltz
  • Registering a basic YouTube channel so to become an affiliate




YuTü.Co.in is a bona fide entity here for the very, very, very long haul.




Our Bounty Campaigns for Sigs, Facebook and Twitter are now available for those seeking a lucrative bounty campaign: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4968236.0

The Super Duper Supporter Bonus is still available.




A Super Bonus was just added to the OP. Please read so that you early astute supporters don't miss out.

Once does not need to invest mega bucks so to handsomely ROI with YuTü.Co.in's Pre-ICO. A mere U$100 could be enough to set financial freedom for early supporters for life, with those having deeper pockets exercising the no-risk U$500 package. Take a look-see at the OP and don't be afraid to ask questions or express concerns.




YuTü.Co.in is gonna be one helluva entity, enriching supports and YouTubers alike. With that, I suggest you get on board and enjoy the ride, else watch the train leave the station from the platform from where you're standing or, in your case, most likely sitting, puffing away on Pall Malls.  Tongue





Here’s where you come in, first hiding behind your CoinClarity account:

Hi Bruno,

The idea is beginning to make sense to me. I thought I would post my question here so you can answer it for the rest of us slow learners.

Are yaltz still being generated for yALTs that don't have PACs aimed at them?

What form will your coin (YTC) take? Will it be a token or if its a coin, it sounds like you're planning on using a Proof of Work-type algorithm?


Yes, the site relatively sucks in its current iteration as I've formally addressed and alluded to on its home page from the get-go. Thanks to onboarding Team Member [Coinclarity, real name redacted —ACG]  and speaking in length with him on the phone, that will soon change.

Yep, I can vouch for this -- I'm a writer for a crypto website and a long-time enthusiast, and Bruno fan as well. We discussed how to remedy and take action on at least one of the points mentioned in the above post.


And here you are with your Nutildah account, acting like you’re just discovering the thread and commenting for the first time, even though you’re already part of the team.

This is what is called a plant or a shill, as I’m sure you know.  Something “YuTü.Co.in” has said elsewhere in the thread isn’t being done. Hmmmm.

Here’s a link to an article to be clear about how I’m using the term shill in this context, to avoid ambiguity:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill

Looking good Bruno! I'll find a way to involve myself with this somehow or another. In a good way, I assure you.

Yes, how could you find a way to involve yourself in an ICO when you’re already part of the team?


And here is where you, aka “Coinclarity” post an “article” attempting to legitimize “YuTü.Co.in” with your little blog.

This is a tactic you use over and over where you use yourself as a source to attempt to legitimize your claims Roll Eyes

As a point of contrast, in the Tao thread I have used external sources whenever I possibly could to corroborate statements. The fact that I was able to corroborate statements I saw Bryce making early on about Tao is what convinced me to put some of my own money into it, despite the fact that I was actually highly skeptical about him back in 2016.


Hi guys,

In case you missed it, this was an interview I did with Bruno Kucinskas a short while back. If you want to gain some insights into the mind of YuTü.Co.in's creator, consider giving it a read.

https://coinclarity. com/an-interview-with-bruno-kucinskas-the-anti-scammer/
 


And then here you are back with your Nutildah persona, once again acting as if you aren’t involved in the project and are just “helping out” Wink

Hi guys. I made my own avatar for your campaign which I am wearing out of my own free will, without participating in the bounty campaign.

You can download my avatar here if you want it for your own profile:



I wish you the best of luck going forward!


and again as Nutildah, acting excited to invest while pretending not to be part of the project. Facetious wording aside, that seems like textbook plant or shill behavior


WOW! I'm sure Bruno must be happy to have such a ringing endorsement. I personally am selling my grandparent's house to raise capital for my YTC investment.





Now let’s see.  If you read through the above and the full thread here

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4420143.0
https://archive.is/kwgbf

you will find a number of interesting things.

  • You will find what look suspiciously like promises of future profits, which is a serious no-no from a legal standpoint and I believe is a violation of US securities laws.
  • You find at LEAST two accounts presenting themselves as two separate people which are both run by you. Are there any other accounts run by you posting in the same duplicitous way in your ICO thread? Hard to say, but wouldn't surprise me.
    I believe the act of presenting yourself as an uninvolved party when you’re a member of the group of people selling something is also illegal in some jurisdictions. Especially if it may constitute a securities offering.
    But if course this is just me expressing my belief as a layperson since I am not a lawyer or legal expert.
  • You find people who have posted that they were ripped off and that it was a scam.
  • There is no way to trade the token that I can see.
  • The website no longer works.
  • There was a business set up to give the semblance of legitimacy to the ICO, but it has been dissolved by the government because you apparently never paid your taxes  Cheesy


So by your own expressed standards the YuTu ICO which you were part of is unambiguously a scam.

It may also constitute legal fraud.


Again, the above is just my belief and not a legal opinion, but there is no doubt at all to any clear eyed observer that you are a hypocrite and a fraud by your own stated standards.

If you have the slightest integrity, you will immediately publicly withdraw your lies and remove the negative comments from my profile, Bryce's, and anyone else you libeled.

Be a better person. Start today.

Your move, buddy.

Are you seriously going to drag Bruno into this when the guy's been dead for less than a week? I certainly hope that you are unaware of this fact. Otherwise, that makes you a complete asshole.
P.S. Bruno was well liked in these parts. In fact, Theymos just gave his main account VIP status. Looks like the mic drop is on you because all your post does is make most people here less likely to buy TAO2.

P.S. Bruno was well liked in these parts. In fact, Theymos just gave his main account VIP status. Looks like the mic drop is on you because all your post does is make most people here less likely to buy TAO2.


If you read my post it is entirely clear that I have no idea who he was, or if he even was a real person and not an additional alt of Nutildah. I've never heard of him before this nonsense.

I'm sorry for his passing. Doesn't excuse Natildah, who my post was directed at.

Sigh. All your long-winded assault on me proved was that you are a moron. YTC was an utter failure. Any funds received were returned to the investors. Neither Bryce nor notsofast can say the same about their (many, many) failed projects. Not going to address the rest of your "concerns" as you have stooped to an idiotic low and they are irrelevant to the following facts:

1. Bryce Weiner has a long-time reputation in the crypto community as a scam artist.
2. He copied a project without crediting its source.
3. He plagiarized the descriptive text of a project and called it his own.


Those 3 things are enough to get any project here tagged as a scam. We're certainly not going to be making exceptions for Bryce "Baby I got your money" Weiner.

Buddy, you and your minions and alts have been absolute constant assh*les to me for years. I have been polite, I have been patient, and you have been relentless in your attacks. Deal with the fact that you brought this on yourself. I far far far prefer to take the high road and either be kind towards people, or simply avoid them, but you refused to stop.

Assuming I can believe you re: YuTu, given your track record and demonstrable dishonest behavior in that thread and in the Tao thread, you're probably lucky it failed. If you'd raised the $3 million that I found stated on an ICO tracking website after I stumbled on the YuTu thread, you might be facing jail time for the reasons I stated previously.

1) almost all of that reputation is due to you repeating claims
2 & 3) is still incorrect as I already explained since you seem as willfully ignorant of how cloning a cryptocurrency works as you are of what constitutes a scam

so would defrauding your dead parents and being a fugitive from your home state speak to someone's reputation?
