[/quote]You have to wonder if some of these are people are brilliant at spreading maniac or just plain idiots. Yes, as a community, we take the high road… but I seriously wonder what’s in the water where some of these guys live.

I’d like to stand up to this FUD but need guidance. Also is anyone working on an easy to understand statement about the 51% story so we can direct people from the trollbox.
Vital in times like this to stay top of mind to boost investor confidence. If they see support they believe in us long term.

I’d keep the focus on Feathercoin community continues to move forward with examining security issues and merchant adoption. Feel free to visit the forums and poke around for yourself.

2 million FTC pre-mined and dumped at 0.00180? I’m afraid this guy is an illiterate and FUD artist. To argue with him is to waste time.

Absolute BS, the guys a numpty! Probably got his future, wife & kids tied to LTC, if anyone had [b]pre-mined[/b] 2Million then they would of dumped at 0.005 at the beginning of exchange adoption!

This is disappointing as neotrix was only on here the other day offering support via PM. No idea what is going on in his mind and I am trying not to let this kind of FUD get to me. From what I can tell I’m guessing he got knocked out of the game by a bigger fish and is blaming me for some reason.

Not positive, but I saw koolio mention “neo” doing an FTC pump earlier in the day. Someone asked koolio about when or something. And the price did shoot up at this same time. I’m not saying I know what happend because I wasn’t there but I did see the earlier convo and koolio and “neo” were buying FTC up later. Then this happens and the price goes up at the same time. Sounds like maybe they were driving price down beforehand???

A big problem with the trollbox is that while picking fights with FUD artists/trolls is important for the rest of the community to learn from (only really talking about those who are new to crypto/the box), you’re basically validating their nonsense with your attention. I think the best way to address this is to have more organized assaults on the trolls/spammers, rather than engaging in a lone argument that leads nowhere. If the more knowledgeable community is seeing this happening, we should have an obligation to speak up and shut-up spammers. If 10 different users are clearly shutting down a lone spammer, that conversation will end much quicker than when one or two reasonable people spend half an hour going in circles with a troll (under his bridge, mind you). Of course this could evolve into mindless group-think if we’re not careful, but keeping the level of consciousness in the box as high as possible ends up benefiting us all. (unless you’re just trying to make a quick buck and need suckers to swindle)
