Today's altcorn report is brought to us by Gregory Maxwell, who earlier today in a reddit post outed Vitalik Butterin as mastermind of a quantum computer simulation scam. (archived) Maxwell stated
Vitalik's project immediately before Ethereum is that he was collecting investments from people to fund building a computer program to solve NP-complete problems in polynomial time.
No flaming tire in a shipit ever ascended from investor monies, furthering proof that Buterin worked hard at producing vaporware long before pushing the Ether huffing scam.
Welp… that evaporates the small chance he was just a misguided enthousiast.
The only new history is the history you didn't know.
