FOMA was very active in the QS/PN7 debate, now we know why.
FOMA's
staunch opposition to the "methodology" I employed in linking 2 accounts was curious to me; here I was thinking I was making sense and this guy is turning everything I said upside-down.
I didn't know for sure he had alt accounts but over the last year I began to put it together that he probably had alt accounts. I certainly couldn't
prove anything though, so I never mentioned it publicly.
Since we know the 3 active accounts do all belong to the same person (with a fair to high degree of certainty), its reasonable to point out that searching the forum for unique phrases to identify potential alt accounts does have some merit to it, although blockchain evidence trumps this every time.
"federated model"
And the private and/or federated model can work too -- I think that's the proposal for Liquid -- but it doesn't need to be private.
In those cases, using a federated model like Liquid seems better than a single point of failure like a Bitcoin exchange.
"Peel chains"
they are making assumptions about peel chains many, many hops out.
They use complex peel chains and mixing, then use Chinese agents to sell to OTC brokers who interface with Huobi, OKEx, and other lax exchanges.
He endorses LocalCryptos:
The obvious alternatives in the aftermath were Paxful and LocalCryptos, although the number of offers is always disappointing.
I've since moved on to LocalCryptos. It's nowhere near as active as the old LBC, but I managed to make one cash trade recently -- for a good price too.
Anyway, it seems any doubt was removed by the 4th post in this thread or so. I have tagged all 9 accounts. Exstasie is no longer DT2 and FOMA is very excluded from DT1, so not much more to be done at the moment.
