Holy shit, now there are nine japanese conspirators?

Soon there might be 10 

Ask too many questions and you just might make the list...

Personally I believe that BCX has the ability to do this.  Has he actually done anything?  That I'm unsure about.

If BCX can successfully do a 51% double spend - then I'd love to see the transaction history of that occurring.

Personally I don't think the onus is on Maged to proove that he didn't attack... I think the onus is on BCX to proove that he did do an attack.  Or that whoever made SC needs to proove that no attack has taken place...

Unless I'm wrong in assuming that Maged has nothing to do officially with SC?

And all of this attack vector stuff - if SC was as big as BTC, then would a 51% attack really be feasible?  I think it's a bit of apples to oranges to compare BTC to SC at the usage/acceptance rates they are experiencing is vastly different.

I really don't think what I've heard of SC describes something that I would "invest" in or follow, the solutions to the problems that SC has offered doesn't really solve the problems in an acceptable fashion.  One of the key points of BTC is it's decentralized nature - and this is one of the things SC has had to compromise to protect against a 51% attack.  That compromise alone in my mind defeats the very nature of BTC.  As a cryptocurrency SC may be very valid and may have a use, but as a decentralized cryptocurrency it does not.  Who controls these "trusted nodes"?  Why do they have trusts?  Why should I trust this unknown anonymous central authority?

I still havn't seen a single alternative BTC chain that has something useful, actually useful to offer.  BTC is hardly useful in itself right now, and yet it seems everyone is spending their energy trying to beat BTC.... I think what people need to do first is get BTC to a more generally accepted place.  If design considerations are a problem holding BTC from gaining that widespread usage, then I may try to hop on some alternative chain.  But the only reason to do that would be that chain has some sort of feature that would allow more widespread usage.  Maybe there are uses for side-by-side alt chains, but in my mind the usage cases for these things is much smaller and much more focused and niche-like.  Things like faster block generation in my mind are good for things like confirmations - near-instant confirmations.

What is it that SC has to offer feature wise that makes it so much better than BTC?  And at what cost?

According to BCX, he was the one that attacked Fairbrix. It was a very effective attack. It took him minutes to generates the same number of blocks that the network generated in hours. And his chain wiped out and orphaned the network chain. So if it was really him (no one else has stepped up), he does have a lot of power in his control. And he also told me that his attack was just to test out an attack that he would do on SC2. I can't prove if anything he said was true, but I believe him.

I think the banning of BCX was a bit premature. Why does he have to prove that he attacked SC2? And how do you expect him to prove that? Show you a screenshot of a massive amount of solidcoins? Any proof can be faked, right?

I keep seeing threads popping up about this guy "threatening" alternate cryptocurrencies. Seen a thread he threatened and then he changed his mind not to.

Has any of these threats come through?

As the title says "Solidcoin 2.0 Target Acquired and Terminated". If it is terminated, why is it still being spoke of, that the chain is not doing fine/is doing fine? If it's not terminated, then this guy is full of it?

Don't know what to think of this thread.  :/.

Only cryptocurrency I support is BTC.

If you're gonna promise a threat, fulfill it. Otherwise this is just retarded. I haven't seen one thread stating anyone freaking out e.g."I Can't produce SC, OMG what happened?"

Please enlighten me. So what the fuck is going on here?

I hope he will come back. I just emailed and PMed a personal apology to him. Additionally, I have also told him that I will no longer moderate any of his posts or threads. Instead, I'll hit the "report to moderator" button like the rest of you.

I sincerely hope they do question my moderation decisions, especially after this. That being said, I would prefer it if you PM me instead of posting publicly, but either is fine with me. As always, theymos is the final arbiter.

He made the assertion that the block generation would never sync up with the difficulty - so far that's been accurate.

Either he did it, or he made such a lucky guess he should stop mining and go buy lottery tickets.

I for one am thankful the mods here have more humility than to enforce poor decisions.
