first one being...? barabbas ? or SxC ? U got me there !
I think its actually not a stupid name.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarabbasBarrabas is the name of the man freed instead of Jesus before his crucifixion.
This might indicate that Barabbas (forum personality) is a God fearing man. I wonder then why he comes in here to spread so much poison and vitriol under the guise of altruism. Rather than clearly stating his case with actual evidence of this grand conspiracy, he refuses to comply with requests for proof and regresses to name-calling those human beings that challenge him.
However, I do think Barabbas really believes the things he's saying, hence his anger when called a liar. But the complete lack of evidence leaves him looking like the typical forum troll or at worst someone who needs to adjust his tinfoil hat.
Cowardly or not, I refuse to pay/wager for evidence that in any civilized society should be provided freely for the greater good.
Until such evidence is produced, I will hold strong on Cinnicoin and accumulate (especially when the forum is full of these colorful characters.)

Barabbas, if you are indeed this person who received the threats to your family, I am truly sympathetic and even empathetic for you. That's horrible. Nobody, even forum trolls, deserve that and I hope the perpetrators are caught and punished for the mental anguish they've put you through. I suggest filling a complaint with the FBI if you are in the U.S.
However, with that said, it gives you NO RIGHT and NO JUSTIFICATION to come here and do what you're doing.
Either PROVE that Cinni devs are in league with known scammers, change your attitude here, or please leave.
Ity's just a name. Came to me at time of registration. No further meaning whatsoever.
No I am not the person whose family received death threats. Those were prompted, in my opinion, by racial hatred of which I, as a caucasian, would be excluded... I think.
But just to note, this is an UNEVEN playing field by which the crooks get away with murder by simply demand "proof" when they are making tens if not hundreds of thousand of dollars scamming innocent -and not so innocent- people under the cover of total anonymity and false pretenses that cannot, literally, be proven without access to their IPs... and in most cases, even with access to their IPs. These crooked scammers can only be pointed out under REASONABLE assumptions, circumstantial evidence, common sense and a process of elimination. For instance, the scam of Templar77/Carlos was discovered because he and loljosh had dumped at least 1.4 million Libertycoins. They believed it couldn't be proven... and really it couldn't... except by a process of elimination. No one who would have been able to dump such amount of coins actually did, not by any single wallet, not by a combination of wallets; just those three I located that dumped in a period of 48 hours. Furthermore (and this is the kicker), no one could have had such amount of coins -and even more- except the devs in cahoots with the 24hash.com pool that had been blamed as a con for not paying out the miners during the POW phase. Therefore, common sense and all circumstantial evidence kept on pointing in just one direction.
In other cases such as BC, the manipulation is so blatant that they even brag about it publicly, admitting to the existence of the Black Hand in their forum (conveniently called "a group of investors" with papers signed). It so happens these investors operate and manipulate from the inside and orchestrate most of the P&D. They even provide bounties for the multipool... that happens to be a separate business owned by two of the main developers who shrewdly pre-mined more than half the total BC coins and have been dumping by the millions since the very beginning, before the orchestrated P&D phases.
No, by conventional "burden of proof" many of these elaborated scams wouldn't stick, I admit it. But they are not playing by fair rules here so you do what you can to accumulate circumstantial evidence, proof, common sense and process of elimination.
It is with one purpose which is informing those who want to be informed and those few that actually care. Most, I have found, couldn't give less of a crap and are more than happy and willing to join with the crooks if they perceive they can make a quick buck -so to speak-. Lets face it, there are ONLY crooks in cryptoland, parasites of all kinds, nutcases and crackheads with the rest (minimal %) being the clear exception. So I don't very much care if the warnings don't produce the results that would be obvious and inevitable in the real world. To each his own.
That said, this wild west of now will be a regulated territory relatively soon, where people who commit felonies will; indeed be prosecuted. Carlos has already on alert not only the internet Police in his native Mexico but also the FBI and the IRS. The IRS is also appraised as to the exploits of the main Don at BC. They are on notice. Most will eventually.
Meanwhile, for as long as it entertains me, I will keep uncovering crooked actions, scammers and their schemes, whether with enough evidence to get absolute proof or only circumstantial one. I see it as leveling a bit -just a bit- the playing field so it is not 110% in favor if the bad guys. But everyone should decide by themselves and act, react -or none at all- as they please.
Crypto is behind in adoption because of the widespread crime without punishment across it. All those interested in their prosperity, should be on board to identify and get rid of the crooks. But, of course, instead, everyone is just blinded by their own greed. I guess is, up to a point, human nature. A very disappointing side of human nature anyway... of which, I am not immune by any stretch of imagination myself.
To end, a tip to everyone: I just found a new coin that cannot be a scam -by any conventional means- since it doesn't cost a single cent to get some coins: It is
Zippercoin. Look for it everywhere and get your free coins. Nothing wrong with free, right? I am already in and believe that it can be quite a nice addition to a very crowded and crooked field.
