1/ ICYMI, I schooled the entire @monero community and exposed @fluffypony as a pseudo-intellectual wannabe bully that forgot he ran into the crypto space's biggest bully.
2/ To be clear, the original Reddit post was created to urge the community to pay @veorq more money than what they offered because he's actually worth more - and he has the intelligence, expertise & proven ability to help curate unique solutions that could enhance Monero.
3/ @fluffypony attempted to respond...and, well, let's just say that this is where it got embarrassing (he was mad that I pointed out that Monero is trying to push a wallet solution with a backdoor in it)
4/ David Vorick from Siacoin is hardly a noteworthy reference. He forked his own project (Siacoin) to another mining algorithm which he was crafting an ASIC miner for (Obelisk).
As for @fluffypony, it became immediately clear he was too emotional to formulate coherent rebuttals.
5/ This thread is going to end here as another one will be published (in the next few minutes), detailing exactly how @monero#Monero attempted to push a *backdoor* onto their users.
1/ Assuming you're referring to the CFTC report on Coinbase's market activity, you can trace this via unusual activity occurring in one of the deposit addresses.
2/ That's how I discovered that QuadrigaCX was trading on its own exchange (and more specifically, that it was Gerry Cotten or someone else in an administration role). The analysis was painstaking, but I'll walk down a super brief example in the next tweets.
3/ Attached to this tweet is a screenshot of the 0x0247BC4E03142079CfA2E3Daf500722Ed0F9A6b2 address.
The pattern we see of funds being sent in and then immediately being swept to the exchange means that this is more than likely a deposit address (i.e., should be a custie addy)
1/ This post is going to break down the @monero backdoor that I've been referencing (that got @fluffypony so riled up he had to make false, defamatory claims about me "exit scamming"; imagine he was red in the face banging his keyboard when he wrote this one)
2/ To be clear, this post is referring to this Monero proposal: ccs.getmonero.org/proposals/xiph…; which was successfully funded with 181 XMR, currently worth > $40,000.
Here's the relevant GH repo we're going to dissect = github.com/tevador/monero… (linked from the proposal)
3/ To start, the idea that this wallet repo will save "5 bits reserved" for "future updates", makes zero sense.
The bits he's referring to here are generated from entropy & only exist in an ephemeral, indistinguishable form (how would one select the "5-bits"?)
1/ There are many that are shocked by the @CFTC's press release condemning @coinbase (and @brian_armstrong) criminal behavior.
But that's likely because you all forgot that this is who @coinbase has always been!
Let's take a trip down memory lane, shall we?
2/ In 2015, it was revealed that Coinbase had lied about its regulatory status - sfgate.com/business/artic…
3/ On July 18th, 2018, Coinbase published an announcement informing the cryptocurrency space that it had lied about receiving regulatory approval from the U.S. government to “list coins considered securities” - cointelegraph.com/news/coinbase-… (Coinbase Retracts Announcement)
1/ Polkadot is a really well-designed project with some extremely smart folks at the helm - but their plan for interoperability with Bitcoin won't work for a few reasons that will be explained in detail within this thread. #Polkadot $DOT #Parity
This is where the 'XClaim' protocol is introduced.
2a/ One major setback stopping this from being trustless from the jump is the fact that Polkadot does not use Proof of Work (that is necessary) - but even putting this to the side, there are critical elements missing.
