Monero Exploit

[Propulsion]

So a bitcointalk forum user "BitcoinExpress" has decided to destroy the Monero currency within a 72 hour period.

Naturally the price has plummeted after he posted his threat. What do you think, is it possible that Monero and all cryptonote coins have a fatal unrealized flaw?

As far as I understood BitcoinExpress has offered a fix but it looks like the monero devs didnt take him serious.

Does this effect darkcoin? Given it's for 'altcoins'?

 

[pbleak]

If they do fix it some risk-takers will do well though I think the very fact it had such an exploit at all will always haunt it.

No, Darkcoin is total different technology.

If it's true what he says, fixing it will void moneros anonymity feature. This is a killer if true.

Yes it would be. Buying Monero before Tuesday is similar to playing roulette. I'm undecided.

So, after all, Monero can't be a scary rival to DRK?

No, Darkcoin is total different technology.

What if someone somewhere somehow can find a way to break Darksend, even after Evan has fixed all bugs and loopholes he knows? (I guess he will just have to keep fixing bugs until it's 1000% secure?)

Well that will be the thing one day
What happens if !
Honestly if we really want to show the world how anonymous (and hardcore) we are
we would throw out a Bounty for anybody to try to track one of our transactions !!!
(maybe not now, but that would be the real test, and great PR !!)

Ya, I think it will happen once the bugs have been fixed and DS is open sourced.

Seconded. Great idea for a PR-contest!

Don't care about Monero, its just some Darkcoin wannabe.
