Hi Mark,
We have reached out to you on the Gridcoin Developer Slack channel, except you never replied. I know you were active there at the time, and I know you have seen at least my message, unless you are saying that the user Pomegranate on Slack was not you?
I am aware of what you claim CE to be, and how you claim it works. It would be great if you could please explain the following:
Why did PrimeGrid seed the Pomegranate account to help it stake, using donations by the public for their supposed hardware drive? We noticed that one of the PrimeGrid admins, Rytis, is also involved with CE. This is very concerning, and the reason I personally got suspicious of your activity.
Why does your website serve CE based on BOINC 7.0.76, while the Pomegranate account runs BOINC 7.0.80 CE instances? Deltik would like to point out that BOINC 7.0.80 has a severe security vulnerability.
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the XML parser in BOINC 7.x allow attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted XML file, related to the scheduler.
- Why did you try and hide the link to CE so actively? Wouldn't "Charity Engine Pool" have sounded a lot less sketchy?
Thank you for your time.
