[SCAM] BLOCKNET: The Metcalf/Prom Alt-Coin Cartel Scam Exposed

[slapper]

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=829576.msg9407509#msg9407509

I wanted to make a clear and concise statement about all of this mud slinging going around....

As everybody involved with XC's knows I did numerous freelance projects, some of which Prometheus was involved in, like KeyOS and Halc.  Yesterday I was so frustrated with everything that was ALREADY PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE [stated on twitter and in the XC OP/ANN] being portrayed as some type of scam.. Accusing me of being Prometheus, accusing me of being the dev. of numerous coins and half the coins in blocknet...that I simply answered no to any and all questions.   None of these allegations are true, I am DAN METCALF and I have never used any other account than ATCSECURE on this forum.  Nor did I ever participate into any scam's, nor would I ever...  the comments about XC's POW being stopped because I was paid off is a complete fabrication.

What I find most interesting about this amount of FUD is that all the information was already public, and to think that I have all these alias's on this forum is complete insanity.

My full statement on the matter can be viewed at http://www.atcsecure.com/blog/Official_Statement.pdf


Also blocknet's assets and funds will be held in escrow and released as development progress's.  Blocknet is not a scam, but a legitimate project and proof of concept code will be available shortly.


Sincerely,

Dan Metcalf

progress's ...really?

It is apparent he did not write the official statement pdf presented unless he is forgetting which alias he is using?
or his england based pr is writing it.

This has been brought into question before regarding the potential flip flopping of american and english/canadian usage of the english language.
The pdf uses the word "offence"
The american usage is "offense"

Maybe nothing. Maybe everything.

It is the PR guy. He also writes the Metcalf final "review" posts. Does earn his money really, he is the fulcrum of their advertizing, marketing and sockpuppetry along with Teka. No real investor have been in XC since the initial scumbaggery was discovered back in May. Just a few new guys into crypto and the scam sockpuppets.

[9/22/2014 8:46:39 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: eww aero

[9/22/2014 8:46:57 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: and then took a shit on it
[9/22/2014 8:47:13 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: Yea from day 1
[9/22/2014 8:47:20 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: ... i ran a 10k pump on it a few weeks bag
[9/22/2014 8:47:21 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: and exited

[9/25/2014 1:22:55 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: Hey man, I’m not able to communicate with you any longer due to failed trust.
[9/25/2014 1:42:25 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: You told people that i pumped aero to get kleeve out
[9/25/2014 1:42:34 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: as well as told people that we worked with metcalf on hal
[9/25/2014 1:44:10 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: Yea man, can’t have those kinds of leaks.
[9/25/2014 1:44:16 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: Not good for us at all

[9/28/2014 9:36:25 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: Utility is mine
[9/28/2014 9:36:28 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: but that is privy info
[9/28/2014 9:36:35 PM] Prometheus Lightbearer: if you do tell people about it, don’t tell them it’s mine


Can't quite believe what I just read. Any lingering doubts I had have been removed. Guess we know now who's pulling the strings, no wonder they tried to claim the logs were false.

[tylerderden]

truly the sign of someone dishonest, when they cant see their last option of being honest. Im guessing these are easy people to rile up and watch them make mistakes until it all crumbles. You would have to be pretty blind to see that if he had to spend the entire premine in that small time frame his claims of being successful at anything involving money are bullshit. Someone so bad at money management couldnt possibly run a successful business. why anyone would spend all of that "developement" fund on one guy in PR, who i dont even see has done that well given the current situation, is beyond any logic or business management skills. At this point they are only trying to keep the shallow minded blind supporters on the hook. the only reason you would need to spend all of that money is if you didnt have any on hand, i mean what does that say about "your" coin if your willing to sell it for what 5 cents? a quarter? LOL!? Its sad that people are so blind they cant see whats right in front of them.

[UnicornFarts]

Told you there is a group which is fucking off the whole Altcoin section. Its time we fuck back.

He has a large debt owed to a couple or more entities that he was officially made aware of around the time of his bct disappearance.
Then he showed back up some months later creating and reviewing coins.
hmm

10/30/2014

"Oddly enough, the Bter exchange is not seeing too much of a success with the BlockNet ITO sale it seems. As of right now, there is still over 800 Bitcoin worth of BLOCK for sale at the ITO price of 25,000 Satoshi. Only 11 Bitcoin worth of BLOCK has been sold since our article yesterday, which is quite a surprise if you ask me."

Where has the bter blocknet ITO gone?
Disappeared?
Magically sold out?
Moved to coingateway to sell off?

major breaches if so

[tylerderden]

well obviously he was desperate, and when he disappeared there were plenty of scams that happend while he was "gone" so who knows how deep the rabbit hole goes. eventually somebody will trace the ip's and log in timeframes and everything else and give everyone a clear picture about this guy.  Im guessing at some point some of the really smart people in Darkcoin will unveil the truth just because of his fud campaign against them .People that get caught scamming usually have a lot more scams under their belt that people didnt catch. i doubt he is any different. i mean, Honest dev drafts code of ethics, then joins infamous pump group.. i dont think anything else could sum up the past year better than that LOL!!

[tylerderden]

thats an easy to answer question..nobody is buying blocknet after all of this. i would bet if you look an hour after all of this came out the sales started to drop off then come to a halt.

This was posted on the blocknet thread.

they should pay me ... i can do a wordpress in 20 minutes 

[tylerderden]

like i said their "PR" guy is bad at his job or we wouldnt be having this conversation. anyone can make shit up and delete posts. a real PR guy wouldnt allow it to come to this to begin with.

God damn it, lieutenant Dan! What the fuck have you done ? It's not like your "loljosh"-made shitcoin


 



had any chance to gain more adoption than this, but man you done fucked up and threw into the trash can 6 months of carefully planned scam in a matter of minutes. I told you to stop reviewing shitcoins and chasing fast bitcoins like a stupid hooker. You didn't listen. The almighty power of BTC corrupted you and then you created Blocknet, a scaminnovative technology...

or more like a copy-pasta version of Supernet.

Like a goofy fuck, you missed the biggest pump of your life that happened with your own coin (LMFAO) and then you lost it. That was the moment you started to transform into a sack of sad shit. Fortunately, you got caught just in time. They exposed you, lieutenant Dan. You are DONE. Nobody gave a flying fuck about your moderated thread, closed source code and stupid TOR sticks in the past. Imagine now when you got destroyed and your shitclone is worth 50k.

It was nice meeting you, Pig!



Now somebody please take a shovel and just bury this shitcoin while it still has some dignity left

[tylerderden]

no not yet i want to watch it squirm for a bit.

God damn it, lieutenant Dan! What the fuck have you done ? It's not like your "loljosh"-made shitcoin


 

I would like to see a response from Dan about the image above to clear the air - this was never fully answered by the XC team and was constantly responded with ambiguous coverup like statements like "I didnt pay loljosh for the xmixer code" - It wasnt so specific to just the xmixer - loljosh might have created the entire PoS system for XC???

Dan should clear the air and tell us what he paid the copycat coin creator loljosh for - obviously he paid him for something and it was during the time XC was released.

...
Below I will make an attempt to answer all of your questions and explain the proper context of the logs of conversation between Smurf and I. ( I have no feeling of disdain for smurf as he seems to have simply become caught in the middle of this attack. I do not see his posting of those logs as an act of malice.)...

If he was stuck in the middle and not acting out of malice then why would the logs be altered and false as claimed by both you and blocknet?
I take that to mean the logs are true and legitimate.
The question now becomes are you lying about working with and paying dan or is he lying saying that you have never paid him.

3. Has Dan Metcalf performed paid work for me or projects I am invested in. In short yes, but I will explain these projects below so that you can understand the context of "Dan works for me now."

Yes, ...

Key Continue: At this time, desiring to try and recover the market I noticed that the KEY developers were having a great deal of trouble hardening the security of the OS. I contact Dan for the project and he completed it steadfastly with a high degree of quality. This was public knowledge on both the XC twitter, Dans personal twitter, the key twitter and more.

Halcyon: A coin to have a nootropics store. I like this idea and I invested. I funded a few aspects of the tech and when an issue arose, I contacted Dan to provide a quick solution, as well as provide a review that the source was trusted and the anon worked.. and to this day his review remains true. It has a working anonymous solution and a working POS source. The nootropics store design is complete and awaiting an API or a vendor to supply these products.

Dan claims you have never paid him.
And your statements are saying that he reviewed his own code. He provides a solution and reviews said solution.

7. My feelings on the PR response from blocknet. When this controversy came to light, XC community immediately responded without first verifying the authenticity of the logs, while they have many conversational gaps in them, and are being presented in a negative light. I will attempt to explain the conversation and what was intended.

Only conversational gaps now? That is not what you said before.
And this means what is read in those logs is true.
Feel free to post the logs in their entirety versus trying to lecture us on their meaning.

I wish that all who read this understand that this is simply a role in this market that must be filled by those that have obtained enough bitcoin and resources to make projects such as these possible., without us a lot of innovation would not make it to market and developers would not be motivated to produce such brilliant works of code without funding.

These statements are the opposite of one another in the context you use.
Instead of an ipo/ico/ito then fund them yourselves from "those that have obtained enough bitcoin and resources to make projects such as these possible" instead of fleecing the ones out of the insider loop.

Now prom admits the logs are true, but they just have gaps

You dont see a problem??? - you think anyone serious would invest in XC or BlockNet if they knew Dan had paid a copycat coin maker to develop a coin or certain portions of a coin for him?

I dont think you have the right to tell us all to keep quiet when the image above is clear cut evidence that a transaction and possibly something fishy has occurred. You are obviously holding a very large bag of XC and trying desperately to claw your funds back. Im sorry.

Exactly. This has already been done to death in the XC thread and refuted a ridiculous amount of times. Also the payment was for monkey work which should be obvious from lowly 0.7 btc figure that was paid.

Dude? are you serious? For real now. XC source have been reviews already by BC dev. Its something original.
You are just hypocrite. You know that almost every coin out there is a copycat of bitcoin right?
