Some bad reporting here...
Author tries to make it sound like Windows 95 was SO important, that it bridged the gap between DOS and NT, between 16 bit and 32bit. However, Windows 95 was not an OS, it was a GUI on top of 16 bit DOS. And NT predated it by a year, already being fully 32bit, and based on OS/2 which was five years older still. Windows 95 was indeed important, but mostly for shocases a GUI that died off around 2010. Windows 95 gave us the Start button. That was its big thing, not technical advancements.

McAfee thinks his wallet product is unhackable. If there is one thing thing guy knows nothing about, it's security.

Nobody was able to get the coins... which was the whole point.
But unhackable is a dumb term to use.

No one knows that that is the case. No one GOT the coins, so he claims. His claim that no one took coins is in no way suggestive that no one COULD have taken them.
I've left cash by the register at the gas station and had the person chase my down the road to give it back to me. According to John McAfee, that guy could not have kept the money, because he didn't.
That's not how "could have" works.

We also don't actually know that coins weren't taken. We only get one raving lunatic that we already know is a liar claiming that they didn't. If someone was able to take them money, why expose themselves for a bounty, when they could stay quiet, force John to keep claiming that it is unhackable, and steal from lots of other people?
John's own logic of what "has to happen" when one can do something, would extend to doing more with that knowledge.

Nobody took the coins. That's what the point of it was. The fact that nobody did, means it's all just "claims". You don't know, I don't know. Could have they? Some claim yes, some claim no. But it's unknown.
All we have to go by is that the coins were not touched. Going by that, it's leaning towards it wasn't possible to take them. That's what we DO know. I haven't seen anything showing it was possible to take the coins.

I've not heard of anyone claiming to have taken the coins. Have you?

Why would we have heard that? If someone had taken the coins, there is absolutely no reason that 1) they would have claimed so and 2) even if they did that we would have heard about it.
We've only heard about the challenge at all because of the absurd claim that it is unhackable. For all we know, the thing doesn't even exist.

How could you possibly know that no one has taken the coins? How are you auditing that? All we know is that one guy that we know is lying for self benefit about this specific thing claims no one has. That's not much to go on, it's roughly nothing to go on. That he even needs to claim it suggests to some degree, that he's covering.

They why post an article that has absolutely zero credit in every aspect? One that is just completely unknown? Troll post?

I sure dont' know that.
What I know is that we have one guy lying and other people that produced some evidence that they could have stolen money and just chose to be good guys. They, at least, supposedly have produced some documentation.
Things we know for sure...
- The only person making claims about nothing be taken is a known liar and lunatic.
- That that same person has a financial interest in making the product seem more secure than it is.
- That having taken or not taken coins would tell us nothing.
- That the contest was set up in such a way that the people who would report, won't likely do it.
- That anyone who could take the money has more to gain by not reporting that they did it than in claiming that they did.
