And for the uninitiated, from investopedia:

DEFINITION OF 'POOP AND SCOOP'
A highly illegal practice occurring mainly on the internet. A small group of informed people attempt to push down a stock by spreading false information and rumors.

That is what Block and XC has been subject too. And that's not conjecture, people have been outed as having multiple dummy accounts to push their agenda against Block.

Thank you for highlighting this activity and this doesn't fair well for the crypto community as a whole. Instead of working together in a way that promotes innovation across the spectrum, the tone and the intent is based strictly on financial gain of the competing entity; which is often blurred against typical scam operator, or other individuals that are not representing the entity for which they are creating such an image. This is specifically illustrated in the comments and responses of those being asked to explain why they are here posting in such a manner. I'm sure if you asked some of the real investors or devs within these other operations they would tell you they have no control over these folks as they just want to shake market, which apparently isn't working for them in the block space because you have earnest and mature investors and developers.  I just wish we could all agree that there will never be ONE coin, ONE chain or ONE answer and focus more on promoting the innovation within each respective space and not coming here to pee in the box. Anything less really is considered rude and unprofessional behavior and should be treated as such.

Hi all

This is to let you all know that we're moving discussion to Slack. You can keep up with Blocknet-related news there.

The Blocknet's Slack channels are community-moderated. No doubt many of you will be excited about the decentralised nature of this.

You can expect Infinitechaos, a community member, to post an invitation form here before long.


Regarding our progress, legal preparations have taken longer than expected; as such we're a little behind schedule.

We do, however, have a prototype. But we also have an alternative that should allow us to leapfrog our own timeline somewhat, which is exciting. (This is why the Github repo has been renamed to "XBridge-old.") Once we're ready, you'll hear about it.

Thirdly we're in the process of expanding the developers' environment so that multiple devs can work across a multi-platform app‏. This is partially what's taking up our time.

Thanks for your ongoing support. See you on Slack!

[Micky Ron]

Is there a concrete date for the block-net foundation to be fully formalized?

what is slack? link?

[infinitechaos]

what is slack? link?

The address will be theblocknet.slack.com.

There will be a registration form.

I am getting it set up right now. There are a few things I need to do first before it's ready.

In the meantime, visit slack.com and perhaps acquire yourselves a Slack app for your devices.

For those of you who have not used Slack yet, once registered you will have access to the BlockNET Slack 'team'. Within this 'team' will be a channel for each coin in BlockNET as well as other channels for random topics, trading, announcements, etc. We will need moderators for these channels.

I was thinking that maybe each coin in BlockNET could appoint a trusted supporter to help moderate.

We want this to be community-moderated.

Please post this in your respective coins' thread (I have to go now - later I will check and see if this has been posted in any other threads and, if not, do it myself) and PM me if interested in being a moderator.

Hang tight! It's almost ready.

Thanks man, growing tired of these shills and weeds growing in the other coin spaces because they see their market cap slowing being eroded.
~ Much appreciate and look forward to reading serious comments and questions on SLACK. Will you then just terminate this forum? Sounds like it would be for the best and let the coins just run their own as they have in the past. Not much is really being conversed here other than "wow this is bad and oh man you should come over here" -playground talk, yes?
 I actually do get a kick reading some of their comments from the coins they have been associated to in the past and have got scammed (I think we all have, me included) so see their point to a certain degree. Most sound like they have butthurt from their other coins and taking a loss or dumping all the their block with nobody selling off and now stuck at the bottom.
I will continue to do my part in every way I can to be a part of the solution.

Tell you what, since jl777 is so open, why don't you have him swing by and reveal his identity. Then you would be correct sir, I would be very surprised and maybe throw a few bitcoin into supernet. Since you care so much about me losing my bitcoins why don't you just send me a few, isn't that what a truly concerned and compassionate bitcitizen would do, and isn't that the type of person you're making yourself out to be?

Dear trolls, shills, fudsters, and poop 'n scoop scammers


If you think that the sorts of posts you made on this thread this afternoon/evening constitute sufficiently meaningful engagement, then you're part of the problem we're solving.

Bitcointalk is a colossal waste of everyone's time (including yours).
Also, how is it that the major forum for crypto discussion is still, despite all credulity, stuck in Web 1.0? It boggles my mind.
What a ridiculous pile of filth you've gotten used to. What a deplorable mode of engagement with others you pass off as "normal."

I can't say it's been "real," but it certainly has been a waste of energy.

Here's to striving for productive, critical discussion on Slack.

You dare to say that after you and your friends collected > 900 BTC from the members of this forum? Why haven't you done that on your Web 2.0 shilling platform? At least have a decency to say "Thank you Bitcointalk" before you say "F... you, we are of to Web 2.0".

Itod, if one denigrates an environment, one does not thereby denigrate one's supporters.

In your eagerness to troll the Blocknet, you might've neglected to note this remark:

Thanks for your ongoing support. See you on Slack!

And yes, I do "dare" to say that Bitcointalk has become a toxic environment overrun by trolls and poop 'n scoop scammers.

So kindly piss off with your wilful amnesia. I did in fact thank our supporters. Multiple times.

I will definitely be watching for the link, and will be joining when Slack is ready.  Thanks.

Don't you think, moving over to slack will just make their fud attempts find stronger ground? I mean we have successfully managed to raise the minimum ICO amount and also managed to stroll through bypassing all their fud/shill attempts.

Why not ride it out till the end? Once everything is finished & live, all these fudsters will just look like clowns to everyone across the crypto scene.

He does make a good point. If you give me the power, I know which trolls to remove immediately every time they post. I am connected 24x7

We'll probably keep our presence on Bitcointalk limited to an announcements-only thread, and of course whatever unofficial discussions take place.

There are two core issues with keeping this thread open:
- it occupies an inordinate amount of our time to respond to/deal with/fend off trolls, shills, scammers, etc. and this takes away from development time.
- responding to FUD just propagates it. Therefore it's better that FUD doesn't come to exist in the first place.

We should start a drinking game for the amount of times these guys say, "troll", "shill", "FUD".

I just use my ignore button. Seems to be working. Can we start there and just have them experience the good conversations without actually getting involved? They can continue to act like animals in a cage without getting in our way. If new folks come along, they will read back through and understand. Especially when things start popping. But slack does seem a lot better for real communication so you can just boot the agitators to the project.

I don't have anything to say good or bad regarding Blocknet.  But this post is over the top.  You used this venue for your gain.  Now you make statements totally degrading the legitimacy of this forum.  You've engaged in the same "deplorable mode of engagement" that you now chastise others for.  You have no problem using this forum for the good that it brings you such as a wide audience to offer your ITO to.  Now that you've raised your funds and have the money in the bank you treat this forum like shit.  Wow.
