What makes you think the Polo trollbox thing was fake.  Man, I was there.  Seemed legit. I copy/pasted the end of the conversation on page 5 of this thread.

Edit: this is also reposted in post 192 on the page right before this if you want to find it. 

I can verify the trollbox chat log...looked like BCX for real to me.
I've got no skin in the Monero game, btw, so I'm reaching for the popcorn....got some BBR, tho', wonder how this will affect the old Runeberry?

We have not confirmed that private keys can be cracked by this. And some mathematicians are so far skeptical. I have not spent enough time on the private key aspect yet, as I have been more focus on the amplification described below since it is a prerequisite for the private key factoring and it is all I have to prove to collect the 11 BTC.

We have confirmed that sometimes the sender of a ring signature can be determined. But this was always the case due to Sybil attacks. What is new is that I have proposed an amplification algorithm which I think makes a little Sybil attacking a lot more powerful than it was. I believe this is a key ingredient of BCX's threatened attack (but not the only ingredient he needs). But I am having trouble characterizing the algorithm's performance but we are working on it. So it is unsure if I have proven amplification, but I would say it is very likely.

BCX has admitted in the trollbox that he needs a TimeWarp attack to rewind the blockchain and spend the private keys he cracks. He claims he has that TW attack and he also thinks he can crack the private keys. But we have not yet figured out either of those two things. And we are skeptical (well lets say they are skeptical and I am not sure what I think, I'm too sleepy).

So all in all, I think we will find a solution within the 72 hours.

If nothing else, they can set ______ ( I am so sleepy I can't remember the term for locking the history of a blockchain at a certain block forward). Mental block due to sleep deprivation.

Edit: a checkpoint

The answer is simple, then he can go full retard like aminorex and claim that it never happened.

I saw he post confirmation in this thread before it was deleted. I guarantee you. Can't be denied any more.

I saw that it was BitcoinEXpress.  Are you saying the capitalized "X" was the misspelling?

The "Good enough for you irmeli?" wasn't there when I read it. He must have edited the post.

He edited it while posting in trollbox.  There was a user named irmeli who was questioning whether or not it was really him.  So he edited the post here.  Good grab, KoziTwo!

okay i was wrong.  or the capture is fake.  one of the two.  probably i was wrong since so many eyes.
