A) Plot twist: nothing happens
B) Plot twist: something happens but XMR survives
C) Plot twist: something happens and XMR dies

Not trying to pick on this post at all, because I think this probably covers the options, but I would add that there are a lot of non-binary outcomes that are very possible (errr...non-trinary?)

I really think that a non-definitive outcome that gives everybody a chance to walk away with reputations somewhat intact is a likely outcome.

Well BCX said he was going to destroy the half dead piddly hashrate Digitalcoin (DGC) a few months back which unfortunately never occurred, though BCX still mentions it as an imminent event with the same baited breath used with XMR.  So is it just bark and no bite?  XMR would take a few order of magnitude more resources to attack than DGC so there would have to be more incentive than just muscle flexing.  Maybe BCX could at least follow through on wiping DGC off the planet as a show of good faith that he will follow through with an attack on XMR. 

I'm not talking about any of the MEW folks or major players, and I won't name him/her, but it's easy to imagine how this person contributed to pissing off BCX.  That person probably has SERIOUS issues, but BCX couldn't have known about that, IMO.

Maybe I'm in the minority about Moneroman88.  But in my opinion it was easy to tell he was anti monero from the very beginning.  At some point well before BCX telling everyone in the trollbox he was going to take XMR down - BCX KNEW this.  

So.  In my opinion BCX is pretending to be provoked by the fake XMR supporter.

What's actually going on is anyone's best guess.

Observers would be well suited to ignore all the FUD flying round and certain posters intentional misinformation campaign against Monero . Not a single scrap of evidence to back up their claims has been shown. People are using the terms "attack" as if this is an established fact.  IF an attack even exists all we'd have to do to patch the exploit is fix the implementation so it correctly reflects the cryptography in the whitepaper.

This really is the classic good-cop bad-cop routine.

The crux of the situation is that two posters here, Anonymint and jl777 remained bitter after the Monero community didn't bow down and lick their boots in the fashion they were accustomed to.

That's because their intentions are transparent and don't require their contributions from them shape what is coming. We simply have no requirement nor room for large egos. Monero does not need faux economys plugging into the network as a selling feature.  We have heard the criticisms levied against Monero by Anonymint and addressed them. That may come across as smug however it's not intentionally so, it is just the reality of the situation.

Monero will succeed and these dirty tactics will be forgotten within a matter of days. The market reaction will speak for itself. My life does not revolve around forum debates and there is certainly things I would rather be doing right now than arguing pointlessly about hypothetical exploits.  We are wasting time here even conversing with the trolls when it is better spend on continually improving our ecosystem, but it is a necessity for those more easily mislead who are vulnerable to having their opinions swayed by idle threats. I do not wish to see any of us lose out money to these dirty tactics, hence the reason I am even taking time out to post.

Sorry Anonymint, whilst you may have been a capable coder you're out of line in this occasion and frankly well past your shelf-life.
I grew tired of your  martin armstrong links quite some time ago.  I don't wish to offend you but this has become increasingly tedious. Resorting to Ad hominem attacks reflects poorly on your already fragile reputation.

24 hrs to go

Oh god ... we know Monero is going down.  

But give me a break on this BCX reviewed the code and found a vulnerability in the square signatures and can steal wallets  

guy doesn't even know how to code by self admission  

hes still gonna blow this shit up so bad ... gunna be fun to watch.  monero not even having a selloff ... whales gonna be stuck with hundreds of btcs of shit people are paying 0.10 on the dollar after the 51% attack.
