<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> Have you seen erciccione back on the reddit forum, trying to destroy the core team because of antisemitism or some bullshit?

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> I guess some people never change huh. I bet he's also still Italian and fat.

<o​frnxmr:monero.social> all i know is that he hates monerochan

<3​21bob321:monero.social> Never heard of them

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> It's a single person. And he used to be in charge of some part of Haveno development, until the funds were used strangely and a ton of money was spent on UI, then he rage quitted Monero because he couldn't get people banned for being allegedly toxic.

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> He used to praise Zcash so we assumed he went over there, but now that Zcash crashed hard he has to find another project to leech

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> Him casually accusing people (without giving names, proof, or any evidence) of racism, antisemitism, toxicity, doxing, threats, etc is standard MO for him

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> Because he left a few years back many people don't know about him and what he has done, I hope he won't get into their ears with his lies

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> dang. my regular release 18.4 on a spinny HDD is over 48 hours now, compared to the 2for1 writes version i did in ~35 hours

<g​ingeropolous:monero.social> 9135 / 9740 is the real deal

oh zcash crashed? any particular reason?

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> They fail to deliver on anything new, aren't used at all in privacy circles, and didn't even have a significant pump during the bullrun. It's just slowly dying like most useless coins do with time.

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> It's at $36 when its ATH was like $1000 or something.

IIRC at some point the zcash website had a notice saying something like "money laundering is a horrible crime and we fully cooperate with the authorities"

yeah good riddance

ding dong, the witch is dead

Can't see anything that I would call a "crash". Certainly not something recent. coinmarketcap.com/currencies/zcash

But sure the coin is going nowhere, not growing in acceptance, not growing the tech

<n​ot_a_money_printer:matrix.org> Any recommended rendezvous point for unstoppable swap?

All I know is that it was in the title of a stream that was in a few Youtubers' channels when they got hacked lol

<b​asses:matrix.org> corporate coin

Something happened that I really didn't deem possible: Pi mainnet launched about a week ago: coinmarketcap.com/currencies/pi

Off topic, I know, I know, but people interested in crypto scams may know what this is about, and be interested in this news

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> What is Pi? What's the use case?

<t​hemisplacedphilosopher:matrix.org> Their market cap is too high.

You could say it's the largest airdrop in history: For 6 years, people could "mine" Pi coins by simply tapping a button in an app at least once a day

People "paid" with watching advertisements and going through a strict KYC procedure, with ID copy and all, the full program

But you have coins in the hands of millions of people already.

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> I see. I wonder how much people that did it a lot got in the end.

mark: Use case? Since when does a coin need a use case :) Getting rich, of course.

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> But if the coin doesn't have some merit or special feature, then I'm not going to get into another pyramid scheme

Of course not.

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> Brave worked well when you got some BAT for having nonintrusive ads.

But keeping people on the edge for a freaking 6 years, always promising that one nice day there will be an open mainnet. That's a fantastic achievement. Not positive, but fantastic.

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> I did it for while, donated it all to some good causes because they wanted to KYC me to send me the BAT, it was almost a hundred bucks I think

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> Yeah a project that's stagnating for so long is statistically never going to happen in the crypto space

<m​ark:chat.nicecrew.digital> I can't imagine how smug the people who kept going for so long are feeling

People somehow seemed to believe that today preparing for launching a crypto network can take years

I mean, I launch you a coin on Solana or Ethereum still before I go to eat lunch

Yeah, and I do wonder why the coin price did not yet crater to 0.001 US cents, given so many people hold coins for so long already, all wanting to get rich now

It's all a quite fascinating lesson in "make believe" or "I want to believe" :)

I wonder if they sold the KYC data to scammers as well

hrmm.. i wonder if I could pull this off today for the 2for1_consensus PR. moneroworld.com/ftest.html . I worry that a call to action would invite some not so helpful players

i wonder if the RPC ports are still open enough to grab the info

i wonder where these scripts are....
