... Next time you see a hero member, a senior member, or even a junior member that is posting for Monero... ...
And what about Legendary members?

A few gems about the special features that I have heard so much about.
"CryptoNote is the technology that allows creation of highly private egalitarian cryptocurrencies. (No sense or nonsense)
"Decimal point has been moved from BCN (18.446 million max supply instead of 184.46 billion). This is purely a UI change – technically there will be 264−1 atomic units (roughly 1019).
"My blockchain doesn’t work^ The first time you mine monero on a machine, you may want to speedup the syncing process by copying the blockchain from a previous machine. The blockchain.bin file is incompatible between Windows and Linux. It is a known problem with the boost library this is using to save the files."
"We are happy to announce a new version script. It now supports blockchain download, but only 64bit though, because we don’t have a clean 32bit provided by a user yet."
"Downloads: Win-64 (Vista and more) • Win-32 (XP) • OS X • Linux"
"Mac Requires OS X Mavericks (10.9). Please note: this is not Wolf's miner, but LucasJones' which is less powerful."
"Important: this won't work on Windows out of the box! You must install MinGW, which is a tedious task."
"If you let you wallet opened all the time, you may think that you are not receiving any monero. This is because refresh is not automatic. You must either close the wallet and reopen it of, much more elegant, use the refresh command."

Actually coins that are mined with ASICS and FPGAS are not vulnerable since these devices run GNU/Linux. http://www.wired.com/2014/08/isp-bitcoin-theft/Enough devices were redirected to mine ~$83,000 worth of coins. GNU/Linux is FLOSS and also has enough GPLv3 code deep inside the OS to ensure that the owner of the has to be provided with root access. So much wrong. There is no GPLv3-only code 'deep inside the OS', because Linux is licensed under GPLv2. And there are millions of linux based devices out there for which the owner has not been provided with root access. This is a case where the distinction between GNU/Linux the operating system and Linux the kernel is critical. The advent of Android as an alternative to GNU has made the old Stallman/Torvalds polemic highly relevant here. Linux the kernel is GPL v2, but a host of critical OS components in GNU/Linux starting with parts of the GNU toolchain are GPL v3. Android combined with certain BSD tools can be used to create operating systems using the Linux kernel that are subject to tivoization by avoiding the GPL v3 components. If one loosely refers to both kinds of operating systems as "Linux" then confusion will occur. One should also keep in mind that old versions of GNU/Linux 2007 and earlier that preceded the GPL v3 are of course also subject to tivoization. The latter is the reason why Amazon moved from GNU/Linux to Android/Linux for the Kindle after the release of the GPL v3. DRM infections in order to delete works such as George Orwell's 1984 do not work on recent versions of GNU/Linux and Amazon wished to keep the option to control and manipulate its customers. The Canadian ISP hack attack is a different issue. There again the choice of an ISP is critical. The article does not identify the ISP culprit. The one thing I know here is that avoiding Rogers as an ISP is the prudent thing to do. We recently saw a Canadian Bitcoin exchange hacked because of the incompetence of Rogers at the data centre level.

If the code is open source then you can't hardcode it into it and hide it from the others. Obviously it's not true, stop believing rumors or spreading FUD; whichever you're trying to do.

Obviously a purchased Hero account right there. So much scam. Hypothesis 2 is accepted. Monero's trades are artificial.

Yeah it seemed suspicious to me as well due to the way that he posted. I just didn't want to point it out before checking his whole account, for which I do not have time (right now). You might as well remove the trust that you put on him in this case. Someone is trying to manipulate everything, luckily it's not working (for now).

I was referring to yours, and both he and I were engaging in parody. I thought it was obvious but you know how these things can go on the Internet. Kozi is fine, not a purchased account, and worthy of trust AFAIK.

BTW selling an account with reputation is equal to scamming in my eyes. I'm not a scammer thus I will never sell my account.

A few gems about the special features that I have heard so much about.
What's your baseline for comparison? Oh that's right - all the other cryptocurrencies that can inherit all the work and broad testing that's gone into Bitcoin over the past 5.5 years. Makes perfect sense, carry on then.

Wait a second, you're trying to say that my account was purchased? Man, lighten up. That's pretty obvious sarcasm in my book.
Sorry I missed this completely, the insomnia is killing me. Well he should have made it clear actually, since people (a few known trolls) might actually try using this again Monero (even though it's nonsense). BTW selling an account with reputation is equal to scamming in my eyes. I'm not a scammer thus I will never sell my account.
There was error in communication and my perception. I apologize. Good thinking there!

I think he was making a joke of the classic line in the FUD handbook, "I heard X...is it true???" At least it made me laugh.
