Not sure about Anon136 but I asked for this in the last 2 weeks! Great news and the effort is appreciated. Downloading now. Hopefully this just helps to get a bit more of the truth out there. IAS I think I've mixed you two up then, sorry for that! |

Pretty good, way better than David's presentation. Seem like Matthew Zipkin follows this thread closely, love his last question "Is there anything else you want to add, do you guys need developers?" |

While I have certainly found primer-'s comments less than useful - an understatement, that - on various occasions, I think it is useful to apply a reasonable and fact-based skeptical eye to anyone's claims, even my own. At least, you can find out if they are willing to make their case clear. Often I am not, for whatever reason. That doesn't make me a liar or a scammer, just not interested in meeting that particular demand. Often being challenged in this way is quite helpful, even if you don't rise to the challenge, because it clarifies your priorities, and limits. In the most recent case, Atrides' operation of dwarfpool and work on OpenBazaar enhancements for XMR has been questioned. There's nothing intrinsically bad about asking those questions. Quite the contrary, I think. If dwarfpool suffers from an inefficiency, it is good for the community and dwarfpool's users to be made aware of this. In this case, a specific numerical claim is made, but its provenance is unclear. From this number, primer- infers a malignancy, which is premature, but not entirely unwarranted, in the crypto-space, riddled as it is with tumors. Regarding OpenBazaar, I think https://github.com/freebazaar/FreeBazaar was intended as the locus of this work, and it has been idle for a while, as the log posted above would indicate. Q.v. https://github.com/freebazaar?tab=activity I don't recall how much funding Atrides received in total, so I can't comment on the value return of his labors. Negotiating the acceptance of the code would appear to be worth much more than the code itself, in this case. Q.v. https://github.com/OpenBazaar/OpenBazaar/compare/develop...freebazaar:develop I contributed to this project, and consider the work disappointing, but it's not exactly a big negative surprise to me, so I am cool. |

On another note... Atrides, dwarfpool owner, is every scammers wet dream, here's why : He operates the second largest pool, dwarfpool. Current hash rate 3.3MH/s. The only pool that DOES NOT publish full block history! I've asked him to make this data available and was told every time to f..off. so I've scraped his "Last 30 blocks" page every 1 hour and have been doing it for some time now. His efficiency for the last 2000 blocks is 81% ! No other pool has such low efficiency, feel free to check them all, both big and small, botnet-friendly and private. Such bad efficiency can only lead to one conclusion - HE IS SIPHONING! Now take a look at https://github.com/freebazaar?tab=activityBack in January Atrides asked the community for 10k XMR in donations to begin work on an openbazaar fork. Devs were quick to give support and asked the community to donate as much as possible. When someone suggested that the coins be kept in an escrow Atrides refused and the devs made no attempt to force the escrow or even suggest the donators do their own due diligence. Move your hash elsewhere people!@# I also expect the community to demand asnwers and a deadline from this professional scammer. ugh. someone should really develop a pay per post forum software. This FUD cleanup is getting exhausting. re: dwarfpool accusation, I have no idea. Based on your other "research" related to monero, my gut is to not trust anything you post. re: freebazaar, this point is so old its getting old. Those that donated get private updates. Also, during the fundraising, there was no cheerleading from the core dev team. I remember being excited about it. I don't have the time to fish and find the posts (maybe Dr. Bookmarks will have them handy). Is it not happening as swiftly as people would like? Probably. But yah know what else has the same problem? Everything in the world thats worth a damn. Discussion starts around here -> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg9994963#msg9994963Reading that immediately set off huge alarms for me. Most notably re: asking for donations without any mention of actual costs (10k moneroj for what, exactly?), and using urgency to leverage fear as a lure for donations. He said the money was to fund him working on it part time for a few months. I'm disappointed by the progress, but I'm not ready to call it a "scam"...yet. |

In theory, could my anonymity be compromised by too many other people publishing their view keys?

re: dwarfpool accusation, I have no idea. Based on your other "research" related to monero, my gut is to not trust anything you post. This is indeed the problem. primer- if you think you are on to something, provide the actual data. You have no credibility whatsoever to make claims without backing them up and being checked by others. |

Well let's assume everybody did. Then you would have a coin where all transactions are traceable (except yours, and yours would be the only ones left so...). That's obviously not the goal here, but if everybody wants that, there's nothing you can do. You can't hide a needle without a haystack. However, it is indeed not good to encourage too much reliance on view keys. That's why, for example, MRL-0004 has an alternate method for auditing of individual transactions that does not involve the broad brush of a view key. |

-stupid shit-
Why the actual fuck is anyone still paying attention to this brainless cuntface? Some of us aren't, but then that's less noticeable than the shit he stirs up. Franky I am surprised such a BAD troll is doing so well. I don't think he does that well. He's so pathetic that I can't imagine anyone actually cares what he says at this point. He gets replies but does anyone actually care? I don't think so. If there was ever a case for troll effectiveness self-destruction he would be it. |
