    Q: Are you still involved in BitCoin?

    A: Years ago I was, but not today. I am actually involved in a completely different project over at timekoin.org and have been for years.

    Dude could easily get hired on over at Bitcoin Magazine or BFL.  Grin

    For years at Timekoin, ey?



    I hate to sound like I'm defending him, but it's possible that he was developing the TimeKoin concept for a long time prior to launching it.  I read a lot of his early posts yesterday and it's pretty clear that he's always been looking for something which would give him some kind of "edge" over others. 

    While he's lying when he describes TimeKoin as "long tested", the idea of developing a digital currency which doesn't require high end computers isn't unique.  From what I can see, he had a fair bit of interaction with the devs - including Satoshi - back in the day so he was exposed to the process of developing and refining a client.  This guy seems to be an opportunist so I'm not surprised that he's looking to create a niche alt currency.  I wouldn't trust him as far as I could throw him, but there's no doubt that people who now feel locked out of BTC mining are looking for something similar they can do with their existing hardware.

    All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.
