RE: Investigating the Pomegranate Network Mining Gridcoin
By saying that "Exposing the pomegranate botnet" is an accusation to you, you admitted that you, or your company are behind the pomegranate.
Also how they were to contact you, if there was no easy way from 'Pomegranate' to 'Mark McAndrew'?
The only certain contact link we had was that Pomegranate on Slack controlled the Pomegranate miner's wallet. @jringo confirmed this as part of the commemorative coin claim process. When I tried to open a dialogue with Pomegranate on Slack it was ignored.
Yes, CE controls that account. So what? They already knew it was us, it wasn't some massive secret.
If we'd wanted to keep it secret we'd have used multiple CPIDs. Why draw attention if trying to hide?
Only reason we didn't call it CE grid or some such was because we're big enough to 51% the network (EDIT: since been told it changed to PoS) and we didn't want to worry the troops and potentially crash GRC. Indeed, we've been going deliberately easy - which we will now prove.
Meanwhile, I run the company and I'm easy to contact via all the regular channels. That one of our developers had once logged into slack to claim that coin, is of no relevance. They got no reply, so why didn't they call me? Email me? Find me on twitter or LinkedIn?
Because they didn't want answers, that's why. They wanted to smear.
