If your currency/project can't take a Spoetnik attack, and feels the need to take legal action against him......it's not a very good sign. If S. is just trolling, then no worries, but he's not the only guy bringing up the red flags, and there is actually some evidence in the form of chatlogs.
This is no longer about the currency but about a legitimate businessman's reputation. but honestly is that something new here, i dont think so, i watched the fudstorm against syscoin, experienced the sharexcoin-exchange, moolah/mintpal, cryptorush Whether there is something "new" is not relevant from a legal perspective. Also I don't think those developers were as open about their identities and this is very important. i saw the war between the cryptonotes and so on, it's nothing new and nothing special, the only real option is to show that the accusations are not true. Legally morally and practically that is not the only option. The first option is for those who have defamed Dan to either come up with evidence or apologise. but if they are true i think we are going deeper into the rabbit hole then ever... don't know which will be the results after the waves calm down, but i bought my popcorn. cheers There is not the slightest reason from what we have seen here to believe the rather absurd accusations are true. If there was any real reason we would have seen it by now. What we have seen is a campaign of defamation with no basis in reality, hosted by this site.

it is exactly as easy as mentioned from EvilDave, if BlockNet is a solid project, all will be fine, if not i am not sure which side will have to face legal actions.

His real life business reputation is being slandered here and MILLIONS of XC marketcap evaporated due to these fudsters which causes real monetary damages that you can measure. alt market caps evaporate all the time mainly because no one uses the coin. its going to be impossible to prove that fud caused the downfall.

This is no longer about the currency but about a legitimate businessman's reputation. This would mean Crypto is a legitimate business which he would need to pay a load of taxation and licenses. I agree 100 %

Where is the millions evaporating? The XC scumbags dumped the last of their XC while announcing their shit scam a week or so ago, just like they do with all of their announcements. Instead of question them back about the premine audit, open source code, whitepaper etc, they just want to cheer away and dump crap on newbies. And when their scam begins to show up, they threaten with empty shit.
Sue me scumbag.
So XC had a premine and they dumped it before BlockNet ITO ? How big was the premine, can't find it in the ANN ? How long was the Proof-of-Work phase (in days)? I assume XC is not really full closed-source, where can i find the open-sourced code from XC ?

If a big dawg comes after you its going to cost one way or the other. You have to lawyer up or risk having a hefty judgement ruled against you. There's a difference between posting a review of a business on yelp or google reviews or something, which is what the link you posted was regarding, and speculating on a forum that is awash with rumor and speculation. See these excerpts from an EFF overview page ( https://www.eff.org/issues/bloggers/legal/liability/defamation ) regarding online libel: ...courts have said that statements made in the context of an Internet bulletin board or chat room are highly likely to be opinions or hyperbole... also: Is there a difference between reporting on public and private figures?
Yes. A private figure claiming defamation—your neighbor, your roommate, the guy who walks his dog by your favorite coffee shop—only has to prove you acted negligently, which is to say that a "reasonable person" would not have published the defamatory statement.
A public figure must show "actual malice"—that you published with either knowledge of falsity or in reckless disregard for the truth. This is a difficult standard for a plaintiff to meet. Metcalfe is clearly a public figure, and so he would have to meet the very high standard that there was "actual malice". Considering the amount of rumor and innuendo and (possibly doctored) evidence that floats around here, and is the basis for Spoetnik's and other people's speculation and accusations of scam, I seriously doubt there is any chance he would be able to launch a successful case. There's really no need to lawyer up if a judge throws the case out as soon as the plaintiff makes the accusation.

So XC had a premine and they dumped it before BlockNet ITO ? How big was the premine, can't find it in the ANN ? How long was the Proof-of-Work phase (in days)? I assume XC is not really full closed-source, where can i find the open-sourced code from XC ?very chaotic all, just doing it for personal overview I. So XC had a premine and they dumped it before BlockNet ITO ?an overview: http://cointelegraph.com/news/112830/the-alt-cracks-1030-xc-spends-its-premine-nxtty-is-released-shaq-talks-quark-morelooks not like transparency.. but here a comment from a member of the development team: Anyone buying this needs to read the XC thread. The developers of this are the same ones in XC who dumped all their premine before starting blocknet.
is this actually confirmed? XC seemed to be the only currency that has working anonymity and many other features that other coins only promise to deliver It would be stupid to dump XC premine right when blocknet ICO is running Hi all
I can now give some clarity on the status of XC's premine:
- The premine has been completely spent since mid September.
- Dan has been part-funding XC's development since day one (XChat and the multipool, among other things), and funding it entirely since Rev 2.
- Dan will continue to fund XC's development, and so nothing about the source of the funding or the pace of development will change.
- Specifically, XC's funding comes from Dan's corporation, which has pioneered IP over RF in marine environments.
- The premine was not dumped or traded for profit at any stage.
- The premine was used exclusively for paying for XC's project - that is, for Teka and I to work, for websites, PR expenses, the ATM deal, etc.
XC is, and will continue to be, Dan's baby. He has personally invested over 1000 hours of his time into it. Since it's been developed at his own expense for some time, you have good reason to believe that he won't just lose interest. His personal stake is significant, and this serves to increase his commitment.
II. How big was the premine, can't find it in the ANN ?III. How long was the Proof-of-Work phase (in days)?Also...
In the words of our pig, Dan:
"Yes I estimated 99k premined - but it was 130k coins - these coins will be used for bounties, and coin development .. 130k out of 17Million....
wallet addres of pre-mined blocks - XQXEFhfWZLTczMSwXWnhJ5y36KodfSnGCm "
After a while the fucker shrinked the total amount of coins from 17M to 5M because of some bullshit excuses... while keeping the same 130k premine. What a great way of tripling your money, heh ? Anyways, these things added up and made me think multiple times before putting my hard earned money into this shitclone.
i am not sure, was the POW phase shortened? IV. I assume XC is not really full closed-source, where can i find the open-sourced code from XC ?only the old mixer is open-source, so i am woundering why the people saying the tech is so advanced, i am right that noone really knows (beside the dev-team) and where can i find the old mixer code? but they want to release some code from XBrigde as Proof-of-Concept, which should be done as soon as possible in my opinion. // and Bittrex will pull up buy walls after the ITO ends, Bter BlockNet trading seems disabled (#edit is back again!), actually it looks very modest.An announcement from Bittrex regarding the ITO: BlockNet ITO - What happened and next steps.
First off, let me thank all our users for their patience on the matter. We are actively working with everyone to ensure the best outcome for all parties. Before we get started, I want to provide a little background. BlockNet was the first ICO we agreed to do where we didn't have complete control of the coin supply. We've learned our lesson, we will not be participating in any offering where we are not in a position to enforce agreed upon terms.
Somewhere along the way, there was a miscommunication and BLOCK coins were released for both trading and staking. By enforcing the escrow terms, we put Bittrex users at a disadvantage. To remedy this, we will put up a buy wall at the ITO price for 48 hours after the ITO ends on November 5th. We will not allow deposits or withdrawals during this 48 hour window. This will allow any users wanting a refund to receive one. Once this window closes, we will pull the buy wall and evaluate the escrow terms. If everything checks out, we will release the funds to the developer and open the wallet and market for trading.
Thank you Bittrex! This is really awesome. one voice of the XC community which i think should be mentioned.. Question for the XC Team.
If this has been asked and answered I apologize ahead of time.
Will a public ledger be posted with schedules for disbursement of funds and to whom as the project moves forward?
If this has not been addressed at all yet, I suggest it be so. You have an opportunity to tighten up how things are run. Obviously due to the FUD and otherwise unflattering posts, along with an ITO release perhaps not as fully thought through as was needed this needs to be done and advertised quite loudly.
You've got a great opportunity here with Blocknet and if you don't lock down the details and make them crystal clear it will hurt everyone involved.
As an aside, I think the team needs to take personal responsibility to protect the asset value of XC holders. XC is a Gem in an otherwise bland and shady community of coins, it's up to you guys to keep that Gem polished.
we will see how it will end, i have no clue regards
