Testicle man loves to quote himself. I would bet he stands in front of the mirror at home and talks to himself his testicles, sometimes using sign language, very close up.  

Lol you "left" just to come back and the cycle repeats.

well, I did start unFacebook, and exp(k)*r^G does make my new secret coin secure.  I find it hard to post without making the post about me.

so, yes, in a sense, I'm back again.  And the ringsignature cycle is not over until bruce wagner sings to a fat lady.

until my next post - this is my last post.

I'm not up to date. Is there TW-attack going on? It seems all the deadlines have been passed.

I think you answered your own question. At this point it's pretty safe to admit it was just hot air.

Ok thanks. I thought BCX wouldn't bluff...well I was wrong  

There's a chance he wasn't bluffing and simply couldn't destroy the coin like he thought he could. Would be great to get an explanation from him.

It would be great for BCX to weigh in with a definitive answer.  I strongly suspect he will not.

One other thought.  Originally, he gave a warning that he would kill off XMR.  When pressed, much later, he said XMR would "Decline".  Keep in mind, he is fairly masterful at creating language that is possible to interpret in many ways.  I believe he is careful with his words.

It is possible that he was willing to commit some resources to the decline of XMR.  It seems possible that he was trying to secure the 500 BTC bet to give himself even more resources.  I suspected that he might use 500 BTC in order to do whatever one must do for a hash power and/or TW attack.

What if it was more simple than that?  Is it possible that he used the initial decline to scoop up a load of XMR to dump on the market?  I'm using bitcoin wisdom for volume, so it's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like:
--within an hour of the announcement, there were 130,000 XMR that changed hands.
--within about 36 hours, it looks more like 350-380K
--given the volume right now, that would be enough for 8-10 days of pretty merciless dumping--possibly even 20+ days.

Yes, this form of attack would take some capital up front.  But if one were willing to commit 500 BTC to it, one could have bought about 166,000 XMR immediately following the announcement at some low prices (certainly under .003).  If one watched the price climb back up to around .0036 in the week or so post-announcement, then started dumping, that could have easily influenced the price.  Average volumes of maybe 40K per day, so 5-8K in daily dumps could have quite an impact.  The funny thing is that a lot of that dumpage would have been profitable to a Sept. 21 buyer...basically, up until just a few days ago.  One would get most of that capital back, even without an acceptance of the wager.

Active imagination, I know.  Probably more likely that XMR is just caught in the same downdraft along with BBR and many other alts.

If it was a financial attack, he could simply sell XMR for BTC, buy LTC with BTC (pumping his LTC), then buy more XMR with LTC and repeat until you burn through it all in fees and slippage, occasionally using a different intermediary coin.
Then when folks capitulate, accumulate and ride it up.

he's the kind of person who remove all his posts after a failed attack on ltc. do you think he'll come here and be humble about everything ? i assume he lost a lot of money due to ltc plummeting and has just spent every bit of reputation he had left to buy himself a big enough xmr position

the irony is that due to risto and friends holding the price up for the dumpers - it's less now than it was when under his threat so likely bcx has lost money.

lol

And they are all likely going lower to make lows before or on 2015.75. Individual alts can buck the trend for bursts, but unless they are not targeted to investors, they are not going to avoid the trend.

I can't even read that Armstrong crap.  I tried.  It just isn't worded in understandable English.  It might as well be Greek.

Daddy are we there yet?

For once the answer is yes.


But this looks like home!

Yes you are safe and sound

So I guess we can all agree that BCX has lost all his credibility and turned himself into a laughing stock at this point.

I just can't help but wonder, for what?

I'm not really expecting an answer to this, but BCX, it's not like you have a lot to lose by coming clean now. Why did you waste it all?

I look at it differently. He could have changed his mind, as I recall the entire situation being spurred on by puppets like Moneroman88, and more.(All of whom coincidentally stopped their activities. Makes me speculate that they were involved with the BBR price rise and dump). I also believe they were Bobsurplus' multi accounts.

But in the end it doesn't matter what the outcome is. This is cryptoland, which only truly sprung up in 2013, we're just all in the beginning. Pointless arguing over cryptocurrencies is useless, better to unite against a bigger common enemy: FIAT, BANKS.

The attack definitely happened, just not in the way BCX said it was going to happen.

It was mostly psychological, and it was pretty brilliant.

I assume you are talking about the price? In my opinion, this correction was long overdue and would have happened regardless of BCX's threat. (I have written why I think so here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=583449.msg8974350#msg8974350)

So I don't see how he could have benefited from this, even if his goal was to buy "cheap xmr" we are already cheaper so he would be in red.

I agree. At first I was skeptic and a bit angry because I hate to lose. But I have to admit it was pretty brilliantly done by BCX. He's done to XMR what china has done to bitcoin. I wonder what he is doing now.... I dont understand why he is in hiding.

BCX: dont be ashamed! OK, you still not have destroyed XMR. But who knows in the future? Come back and savor your victory: you've cut XMR price by two ! TWO ! You're stronger than CHINA ! YOU ARE THE SECOND COMING OF THE THUNDER BEAR. THE RENEGADE BEAR OF ASIA !!! DIONYSIOS INCARNATED ON EARTH !!!!!!!!!!

You should be proud of what you've managed to achieve. I've sent him a PM in order to get him here. Lets home he come back to us.

He got paid to do it. He even said he did.

Yeah, and he also said that he didn't do this for the money. Which one is it?

[nioc]

Is quantum gravity a theory of quantized spacetime, or is spacetime only an approximation valid in a certain regime? What are the fundamental degrees of freedom? Is there a well-defined Hilbert space for the universe, and what is its dimensionality? Is time evolution fundamental, or does time emerge from correlations within a static state?

i think he did it for the lulz... you see him as a laughing stock... i dont think its fair. I see him as a great vigiliante turned black hat hacker like those guy from lulzsec

I measure time by the rate of decay... of Monero.

Maybe he got paid in something other than money? Fuck it, he did it for the lulz. Who cares.

Next time, don't be so imposing and boisterous in the promotion of your coin. Maybe not you specifically, but that was definitely the plan.

Nothing brilliant about it as I called it from the first day he made his "kill XMR" claims. I even posted two links showing how he did the same thing in 2012 to litecoin and flaked out on it.

He scared you guys half to death. Some of you had full-on meltdowns in public. It was hilarious and entertaining. I guess more people should have paid attention to you.

[nutildah]

You do have to wonder how the Josh Zeidner / Moneroman88 thing fits into the whole scenario.

It seems like maybe somebody paid the both of them to put on a fake fight?
