Blowing the lid off the CryptoNote/Bytecoin scam (with the exception of Monero)

[huyentrang08000]

True, but there is a lot of information in this thread that is highly relevant to the vulnerability in question. BCN has after all become a textbook example on how to break Cryptonote by creating a massive ninjamine / premine.

That is such a ridiculous reach it hurts my brain. You are really looking more and more like a BCN apologist.  And that's fine... I would rather know who I am talking to than not.

I just heard this podcast with Jenny Goldberg from Bytecoin. I think it's only the second public appearance of anybody from Bytecoin.

I don't know. Does she sound scammy? Seems ok to me, but I think she's only the PR person, not some tech genius.

thank you for reference; in this post she seems to announce a bytecoin hard fork on august 31th:

Alain here from the Stanford Bitcoin Group. I am not identified with the CryptoNote venture by any means, nor is the Stanford Bitcoin Group. I began an open source venture called Cryptonote (https://github.com/alainmeier/cryptonote) in May 2013 and after that was drawn nearer in March 2014 by somebody from the CryptoNote cryptographic money venture who needed to purchase the space, so I sold it to them. It's only a terrible occurrence.

Bytecoin and Assetrush try to hide their earlier connections by removing Jenny from the Assetrush webpage.

No longer on the team... Here she is though if you go directly to the old picture url: https://assetrush.com/images/team/jenny.png

Here's the link regarding Bytecoin getting delisted: https://support.binance.com/hc/en-us/articles/360017720731

Well, looks like you were right, Bytecoin just got delisted from Binance for exactly these reasons.

They have failed to meet most of their developmental goals, their development team sucks balls and they have absolutely nothing great to show for the years they have put into the coin. If it's not great already, it probably never will be. Good riddance.

The question is different. Why BINANCE allowed to add BCN to stock exchange. Did they not bother to learn about the history of the coin in the past? It seems that the money that they paid for the listing was played here in order to crank out another fraudulent scam, otherwise why was it to flip a coin and after a short time to declare delisting? There are more questions than binance than answers.

Most exchanges will accept coins if there is sufficient buy/sell movements as they make money. They don't research anything, they just let people vote probably...

Fuck BCN, but I will say without Monero coming away from it, is one of the best things to ever happen to me!

Assetrush claims partnership with Kraken and the tweet is of course 'liked' by co-founder Jenny Goldberg.

Kraken denies it. Hopefully they put these jokers on a blacklist to prevent potential future BCN listing.

Reaching out to people on the Bytecoin subreddit at the moment.

https://www.reddit.com/r/BytecoinBCN/comments/9n7yrk/the_bytecoin_team_exposed/

There are some eyes there monitoring the Binance situation mainly, so I try to take advantage on the current buzz by posting some facts. Quite interesting that the community is turning against the 'BCN_official' and her supporters, downvoting them. Also surprised that none of my posts are removed.

[Hueristic]

Nice, keep the pressure on those scaumsuckers.

Re-posting from another thread:

Here is 'Anastasia Friedman', former employee at AssetRush. She was recently removed from the assetrush.com team-page.

Notice the exact same photo style for the remaining team:

Anastasia is still listed under AssetRush on LinkedIn:

And now for the fun part - here is Małgosia Bela, Polish fashion model:

Getting slightly off-topic maybe as the scam we are busting is now AssetRush (which was co-founded by the Bytecoin community director).

Will continue in this thread:

Not off topic at all. I'm quite confident it is all exactly the same scam with different names, just like the coins in the OP here. I always stated that the OP while finding a lot, was still only the tip of the iceberg, and I still believe that.

Please keep this thread informed of your findings,

Quoting for posterity:

Best rebuttal so far from the scammers over at reddit:

"Anastasia is not a really good looking girl. She used this pic to look better. By the way, BCN created for us real anonymous cryptocurency, so you can have your freedom. And you want from Anastasia her real - maybe naked pictures and her social security number? What is your point?"

Here are some more fake employees.

Great job, your burning those fucks to the ground.
If only we knew who they were IRL.
