Word on the grapevine is some serious FUD against Verge developers, which has since been disproven by a response on their Twitter. Who or what would do such a thing, and why? Cheap coins? Spite?

Verge has dropped as low as 800 sats on Bittrex and is bouncing around 1200-1400 the past couple of hours. What's really going on here?

This. I knew this was a shitcoin as soon as I started looking at the tech. Doesn't compare to monero and devs aren't doing shit.

McAfee stilled it so it blew up because people like the idea of a stealth coin that's cheap.

This seems like the answer, but how and why?

>> No.5473697

>>5473653
I did check it the other day anon.

Also, adding tor is meaningless since they're just using other people's work AND Tor _does nothing to enhance privacy for crypto on its own_.

Stealth addresses are good but other coins have already done it and done it better.

He wasn't hacked, it's just a dumb nigger that tweeted out the reddit post, which wasn't fud, it was based on facts, to his massive 4+ million following. He also told people to sell on his patreon (yes this dumb nigger has a patreon where people pay him for his "advice" on crypto)

His follower base consists of mostly dumb niggers as himself so they instantly followed his advice to sell causing the dump.

Then after it crashed maybe he realised what he did so he quickly deleted the tweet and told everyone they should buy now that the price is low.

Following a lot of frustrated followers attacking him telling him they lost a bunch of money cause of his bullshit.

He then deleted that tweet as well and claimed he got hacked and that that wasn't him, but all the tweets were tweeted from the same location and he posted the sell advice on Patreon as well.

He then started posting "proof" in his own little dumb ape way, taking pictures of his screen where he showed he didn't have any transactions on his Binance account, then someone asked to show how he got his account back and he took another photo of his screen which had a twitter password reset without a timestamp or anything.

TLDR; Dumb ape with a too big of a following caused XVG to crash, he tried to cover up but a lot of people lost their money and he will probably end up where all niggers end up in the end anyway.

This. Adding tech, doesn't mean it's useful tech.

That wraith protocol would be nice but there is a picture that explains the differences between monero and verge. And it makes you question the practicality of verge. Someone have it?

ok, listen up.
if you use ANY security application like openssl tor you want to stay as close as possible to upstream.
why? because they audit the shit out of the releases. that makes sure it is secure and works.
if you implement ANYTHING for encryption it would have to be audited by A LOT of people to make sure its secure.

it would worry me a lot more if they had applied changes to the tor base.

The point is that Verge already "supported" Tor, as does every other coin in existence.

>> No.5473927

>>5473842
but thats how it was supposed to work
they hook the client into tor and use this to hide the client IP
no competent developer would implement encryption or anything the likes anew AND THAT IS A RULE because the danger of fucking up is to big
that is why if somebody says they create a new encryption scheme its a big red flag to question everything the dev says

It was just some random reddit user I'm sure, he actually had proof, the facebook posts he linked were from the VP of marketing for Verge (Kieran Daniels) telling everyone that Verge was just a one man show and that Sunerok stopped communicating with the team 2 months ago.

This completely garbage shitcoin got shilled to 3 billion market cap (which I'm okay with). The african american representative fudded it to hell causing a flash crash, then he said just kidding and the twitter shills came out in force to cause a rebound.

It's tainted, the market can't shrug off something like that.
