Introduction
The allegations made against me by "ofrnxmr," also known as "SyntheticBird" or "PsychoticBird" appear to be an attempt to criminalize legitimate actions and tarnish my reputation within the Monero community. Based on the information provided, the claims seem to lack substantive evidence and are rooted in personal grievances rather than objective facts. This report will address each point raised against me, defend my legitimacy, and provide a thorough response to restore my reputation. All responses are based on publicly available information and credible sources.
Addressing the Allegations
1. Claim: Purchasing a Domain for a Project is Criminal
-
Response: Purchasing a domain for a legitimate project is a standard practice in the digital age and is not a criminal act. Domains are essential for establishing an online presence, whether for personal, professional, or community-related purposes. This accusation is baseless and reflects a misunderstanding or deliberate misrepresentation of common digital practices.
-
Supporting Evidence: Domain registration is a routine activity for businesses and individuals. For example, the Monero community itself operates multiple domains to support its projects for example, workgroup meeting.
2. Claim: "Doxxing Attempt" and Password Reset
-
Response: The accusation that I engaged in "doxxing" or unauthorized password resets lacks credible evidence. Doxxing involves maliciously publishing private information without consent, which is a serious claim requiring substantial proof. Without concrete evidence, this remains an unsubstantiated accusation.
-
Supporting Evidence: The Monero community emphasizes privacy and security, and any claims of doxxing should be backed by verifiable logs or evidence. No such evidence has been presented in the provided sources in GitHub workgroup meeting notes or anywhere else.
3. Claim: Insults, Defamation, and Behavior During Milestones
-
Response: Accusations of insults or defamation should be assessed based on context and evidence. Disagreements or criticisms during collaborative projects are not uncommon, especially in open-source communities. Constructive criticism is often necessary for progress and does not equate to defamation.
-
Supporting Evidence: The Monero community workgroup logs show that debates and disagreements are a regular part of discussions in the GitHub workgroup notes. Without specific examples or evidence of defamatory statements, this claim is unsubstantiated.
4. Claim: Criticism of Bisq
-
Response: Criticizing a project like Bisq is not inherently wrong or defamatory. Open-source communities thrive on constructive feedback, which helps improve projects. Expressing opinions or concerns about a project does not equate to malicious behavior.
-
Supporting Evidence: The Monero community frequently engages in discussions about various projects, including constructive criticism. This is evident in the logs of community meetings at Monero Workgroup Meeting 7th.
5. Claim: Lack of Source Code for Milestones
-
Response: The claim that I failed to provide source code for milestones should be addressed with specific evidence, evidence that can be found in the official Haveno App git repository right now. Delays were communicated and justified, this accusation is invalid.
-
Supporting Evidence: The Monero community has a structured process for handling milestones and payouts. Any disputes should be resolved through this process, as outlined in the community workgroup logs in Monero Workgroup Meeting.
6. Claim: Erosion of Community Trust
-
Response: Accusations of eroding community trust are subjective and require substantial evidence. Trust is built over time through contributions and transparency. If my actions have been consistent with the community's values, this claim lacks merit.
-
Supporting Evidence: The Monero community values transparency and collaboration. Any concerns about trust should be addressed through open dialogue and evidence-based discussions at Monero Workgroup Meeting 7th Dec.
Conclusion
The allegations made against me by "ofrnxmr" lack substantial evidence and appear to be an attempt to undermine my reputation within the Monero community. By addressing each claim with transparency and evidence, I hope I have demonstrated my legitimacy and commitment to the community. It is essential to remain proactive and engage with the community to restore trust and continue contributing to the Monero project. However I cannot continue to do this with impatient, malicious intent individuals disrupting the progress. I will address the false proclaimation seperately as this is the one that has caused harm and can be found here in this blog post.
