Bitcoin Forum

That today shall be known from now on, as the official Satoshi N Day.

To celebrate, we use the network with gratitude.

Mining since april 09.

Maria.

i bet for 2 BTC you're a dude.

are you able to provide proof of this? (ie. sign something with an address from a block around april 09.)

I will call you a liar, unless proof is presented.

Quite a claim! Proof?

http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070310184138/uncyclopedia/images/9/91/Man_picking_his_nose.jpg

Or, not.

I can prove it. What is the best way to prove it?

Again, min bet is 10 BTC. If I am lying you win 30 BTC, if I am telling the truth you pay me 10 BTC. Put your money where your mouth is, you are talking to the oldest miner here so have some fucking respect.

Miner Maria.

If you have to ask I call bulshit.
Which pool did you use to mine back in '09? Slush por Deepbit? ::)

young boy, back then, we did not have any pools. Solo mining was the name of the game.. I mined so much my computer caught fire. Crazy times.

That isn't how it works. You can't make some obnoxious claim, and then not prove it unless you can turn a profit.

If that were the case, I am Satoshi. If you don't believe me, I'll provide proof for 10000BTC

Signature or GTFO.

"Again"? You didn't say anything about a bet between your bullshit OP and my response, so I reserve the right to call bullshit for free. Bullshit.

I take that bet! you put your money where your mouth is, provide prove within 24 hours.
countdown clock:

No shit, Sherlock... ::)

It's simple to prove. Find your first reward block in the blockchain. Then transfer .112396 out of that address (I picked that number because its the message id for this thread). If there's no coins there, then you'll need to transfer some in. If you don't have control of that address anymore, find the oldest reward block you DO have access to.

Hey it works  fine for Matthew N Wright, Inaba and BFL - seems to be how these forums measure a persons credibility.


With that picture as a profile picture Im almost certain, 90% likely a single dude as well.

and Psy, still an abusive idiot I see (LOL).



Psy, doesnt let being blatantly wrong stop him from insulting others for being right.

no you can't.

as said before: sign something!
if you are not able to understand this, you was certainly not able to setup a miner back in the good old days.

im not interested in your money. im not gonna fall for you trying to buy me out.

respect is earned! not taken! and so far you have not proofed that you earned anything. 

lying asshole!

12 hours to go to provide proof or pay up 30 BTC maria!

No need to transfer bitcoins!

The bitcoin client offer a very useful option that allow you to prove you own an address and sign a message with it.

So, Maria, c'mon, sign a message with your oldest address, one that contain mined coins and post it on forum. Before i too put you in ignore for trolling  ::)

First of all, the dude with the timer, who the fuck said that I had 24 hrs to prove it? Go suck a big dick.

Second, I have never signed anything using bitcoin, and that sounds like a neat feature. Can somebody explain how this is done?

And third, I will not prove anything until I see at least 1000 BTC on the table, so somebody work the spreadsheet.

Last, If I am lying, not only will I pay, but I will take the scammer tag and a BAN and follow Matthew straight to hell.


Money Where Your Mouth Is.

Maria.

People call you out on it, first it's 10 btc, now it's 1k, what next? Once somebody does that, then it'll be 10k?

https://i.imgur.com/Rocbq.jpg

Badbear, what I meant was min 10 BTC per person, so if only 7 people bet 10 btc each, thats only 70 btc on the table. I am looking for 1000 BTC min.

Also, if you smell bull shit, the odds are 3 to 1 right now. Place your bet.

you're a chicken PWOK-PO-PWOK

you know it's unrealistic that 100 people will bet on this.

so you chicken out.  Stop evading by acting big and prove it or STFU.
I know you never are going to provide proof, and you will never pay up.

http://www.chickenssuit.com/uploads/pics/story.jpg


I declare this day as Maria-is-a-dude-and-he's-a-chicken-day.

0/10 trolling

LOL

i declare you're a fucking nob

Yeah, odds are even higher you'll just disappear and your next "wife" will make an account.

You can't just change the rules of a bet in the middle of the game.
it's like sending mails to satoshi:"oh wait, what i meant was, er...i wanted to send 0.0001 BTC instead of 250 DUH

I accepted your minimum bet!
if you're not a liar, you'd have your proof ready before placing the bet

And I accept your bet as well, you are just going to have to wait until 1 more person bets 990 btc or 99 people bet 10 btc just like you did. What happens to you if YOU dont pay?! Should I make this a Hero member only bet?!? I certainly do not want matyhews sockpuppets betting on this... Take the timer for now and SUYA.

She might be the oldest miner because she is 100 years old and lives in a nursing home. :P

Is this the same self-important Maria that went apeshit over Bitcoinica?

Nobody CARES how many Bitcoins you have or how old you are! Get lost already!

Yes.

I've been thinking of raising my bet to 1000 BTC but there is no way she/he/it can prove she/he/it was mining in 2009.
She/he/it can offer someone a few coins who was mining in 2009 for a scam to deliver "proof"

, or maybe he is a woman and he's getting boned by a miner-friend/husband and will ask him to deliver proof, which is also scamming the bet. But i doubt it's a woman.

If someone can think of a way to prove he has been mining since 2009, personally!
And not deliver "proof" coming from friends/family or payed for proof, then i will raise my bet to 1000 BTC.

Wouldn't Satoshi be the oldest miner, anyway? Genesis Block all day!

Satoshi's account is not active.

Satoshi is the best example that the ones highest up on the ladder don't always have to be fucking pricks.

Of course there is a way. All he needs to do is send coins from an address which found a block in 2009.

He could have get the private key for that address another way, but that's very unlikely.

"Oldest Miner in the forum" != "Has been mining since 2009"

I would personally accept anything within a month of Bitcoin's Public release.

If you looked like your avatar and have a millionaire husband like you claim..... What in the fucking hell are you doing here?

The avatar is Shilpa Shetty, indian actress.

Let's make it real. My oldest block mined (that I still have the wallet for):

Who's older?

Actually, the avatar is Aishwarya Rai, Indian actress and former Miss World.  "Maria" is not Aishwarya Rai.

Maria is a crazy person...

Yes you have the avatar image correct. In fact it is the engagement photo of Aishwarya Rai.

they all look alike so much!!!
But they are beautifull though. I'm a sound technician and few years ago i toured with some productions from bollywood in europe, got to meet the girls in a more "professional" way.  I had problems with names in those days. laughed my ass off though.

to make it clear once and for all:

Please children, stay on topic. You say I am a liar but since day 1 I have backboned this community directly and indirectly.

Lets make the odds 5 to 1. You bet 10 btc and receive 50 btc if you win. Open your eyes children.. watch me crash the market with a 100K short sale. Watch how a professional handles it.

ForexMaria.

I will bet nothing until you prove you have 5000 BTC to pay out.

Is this new bet min 10 in total or min 10 per user again. You are
Very unclear.

Maria is Pirate's alter-ego feminine side. Search your feelings, you know it to be true...

I am officially hijacking this thread and changing the topic to "Beautiful Indian Women".

don't you understand? NOBODY BELIEVES YOU! for somebody to believe you, you need to provide proof.

AND NO!!! trying to scare us away, by making huge bets, or wild promises, or threats of legal action, is not proof.

every claim of have made in this forum(including your 10000000000btc in bitcoinica) have you not been willing to proof.
therefor it is safe to assume, that you are unable to proof any of your wild claims, and you are just a shitty bag of lies.

even if you are who you say you are, then i would not respect you. you have treated this community as shit and that is not something i respect.

why dont you have a scammer tag yet for trying to scam bitcoinica out of a few thousand btc?

How would this even be proved? Surely the developers registered on this forum are "older" miners...

Are we talking about active members or chicks with dicks?

Mining since 2009 and didn't know when "she" joined the forum last year that you need to download the blockchain and that the network needs to confirm transactions.   ::)

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=19223.0

I believe Maria the least on this forum... It act's like a douche ...

dank and Atlas are more credible than Maria, and that's saying something.

To save people 1000 BTC, I'd like to point out that Maria has in fact mined since April 2009; it is likely that she is not lying in that department. This address (http://blockexplorer.com/address/14gs6qkuzXkcoMQ9bcLgqVkchibcH8S2vw) mined a block and sent the coins to an Mt. Gox deposit address (http://blockexplorer.com/address/1GqkXSDGATi2Lof1ySewk1GPe2orcwAtYn) which Maria claimed were hers.

I was originally just going to post to ask why everyone was feeding the troll, but then I came across this so now I have to ask, "can you provide a link to where she made the claim that this Mt. Gox deposit address belongs to her...?

Either way, we still know she's a liar. Unless she's been mining since '09 AND she's actually a beautiful Indian actress...

Here's a post that proves it fairly well:

As the oldest miner in the forum, I declare: That I am a Man and my breasts are fat from beer...

Can you link me to the thread this came from...?

Now THIS I believe...

Yes sir (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=19223.msg241051#msg241051).

Actually really does seem legit. Still not really a woman though...

well lets see... If I have been mining since 2009, I wonder how many bitcoins I have?

RelicMaria.

Maria, I'm not going to lie. I don't like you. I managed to keep my mouth shut when you made baseless accusations against Zhou Tong (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=95913). I don't know how that turned out, nor do I care. You make these useless threads with no proof, then refuse to provide it when asked. I could care less if you're the oldest miner on this forum. Here's what I know about you.

• You have an inflated sense of self importance
• Your picture is of some Indian actress
• You treat every other person on this forum as if they're inferior
• Very few people on this forum like or "Show you some fucking respect"

This post is more or less pointless, cause I know you'll just continue your active trolling and nobody really cares at all, but ya know, I just don't like you at all. So, cheers!

EDIT: Spelling

You probably have a ton, probably enough to actually become a REAL woman if you wanted to... But, what's your point...? That we should all be throwing ourselves at your feet begging you for BTC handouts since you're BTC-rich...? LOL...

^ This guy gets it...

Please note her lack of response. This happens in every thread she makes. She just shuts up when she knows she's caught.

Put your money where your mouth is... Send me 100 BTC and I will change my attitude towards you for an agreed upon amount of time :)

$#!7, send me 10 BTC and I'll NEVER troll you again, lol... I'm sure 10 BTC is like 10 cents to you, since you've been mining since '09 and all...

Just for variety, sometimes she deletes her threads when she's proven to be full of shit.  She did that with her infamous "Wendon Mews" thread.

This is the same troll that claimed to have made a forex bot that offered incredible return with almost no risk!!!!!1!!!!1!one!!

1/10 troll.

Maria:  Do you use tampons to get in to character ?

Hey! I have an idea =3 This is a stickup! Give me 21,000,001 Bitcoins, or I post this on every thread. >:3

+1

Seriously though, that's a great way to get banned though...

I figured it was a pretty obvious joke, because there will never be more than 21,000,000 Bitcoins in circulation. If she attempted to pay the "ransom", no matter how much I dislike "her" I would send it back.

That's awkward, I was hoping I didn't have to explain that I understood it.

Sorry, I'm really frickin tired right now. I should have seen that. My bad :P Ugh, time to get an energy drink.

I know the feeling.

If you sent me 1 BTC, I could curse your e-penis.

Haters gonna hate.

Maria.

Well, these things happen when you're a guy pretending to be a beautiful woman online...

Or just a fat dude trying to be any woman.... Can we see your real picture? without the slong please...

Oh, and just for further proof, the page source even says that her profile pic is of Aishwarya Rai and is hosted on toptenz.net

Here's the actual link: http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/aishwarya-rai.jpg

And the html div code for the link taken directly from THIS page's source code: <div style="overflow: auto; width: 100%;"><img src="http://www.toptenz.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/aishwarya-rai.jpg" width="120" height="80" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" /></div>

LOL.... ^ :D

And now I know what the "off topic" forum is like.

Carry on.

LOL, this is only a small sample of the off-topic forum, the threads each vary greatly, you never know what you'll see in here...

How do you know he isn't a fucking prick?

Because he wrote the theory of bitcoin and we all grovel in view of his glory.

I thought the off-topic board was a personal troll ground for Atlas... are you saying it's not?

trolls be trolling

You may be closer to the truth than you realise. If so, your statements are likely very hurtful. Some people are born with the "wrong" parts. You are claiming that they are less of a person until such time as they get the "right" parts.

Assuming that everybody is correct that "Maria" has a penis: staying in character may be a sign that she really does see herself as more of a woman than a man.

BTW, this thread was cited as an example (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=115063.msg1244103#msg1244103) of misogeny on the forums.

What an excellent example of misogyny. If this forums best examples of misogyny posts are troll posts like this then I'd say we are doing much better than I expected.

Wow... That's quite a stretch...

I can't speak for the poster in the other thread, but I suspect the general feeling is that a poster identifying as male would not have been treated that way.

I don't think I have ever seen an odd-ball thread topic created by a poster identifying as male where the first post is "2BTC says you're a woman." The second post asks for proof that she really was mining since 2009. I doubt that a poster identifying themselves as male would face the same scrutiny.

I am not trying to imply that posters identifying as female deserve a free pass. As you can tell from my posting history, I have found Maria untrustworthy ever since her "make money fast (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41793.0)" thread. However, I have always been respectful in my criticism. This is in part because I know that the Internet has a long memory.

I apologize for any involvement in criticism of Maria that was not justified based on her actions. It has not been my intent to apply sexism, but I understand how my actions could be taken as sexist. I retract any accusations I have made against Maria.

As much as I dislike this user for her blatant disrespect to even those who are respectful to her, I retract any accusations/attacks I have made in the past, and will refrain from posting such things in the future.

None of my comments were driven by sexism or misogyny in ANY form. My comments were made calling out a bullsh*t artist on their bullsh*t.

If my comments were "prejudiced" towards anyone, they were prejudiced against liars, fakes and bullsh*t artists.

I do not apologize for anything I said to or about "Maria".

I singled out your comment because it best articulated the general sentiment of this thread, not because it was particularly sexist. I stand by my statement that your comment would be very offensive to transgendered persons.

Because anonymous internet forums are the epitome of political correctness.

And I stand by my statement that my comments in this thread are not made with sexist and/or misogynistic intent, in fact I don't think anyone's comments in this thread had sexist or misogynistic implications.

I recommend "witch hunting" elsewhere...

Of course not. Most people in this thread don't seem to accept that "Maria" is a woman. If is hard to be misogynistic if you don't believe the target of your ridicule is a woman.

I think transphobia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transphobia) may better describe the gender-specific comments in this thread.

I will accept that maybe most people don't find "Maria" very credible. That does not fully explain why the thread turned nasty so quickly.

It got nasty because Maria didn't back down, and acted like a prick without providing anything credible.

She also raised the minimum 'bet' when someone called her out.

I don't think anyone on this board believes that Maria is a natal male with gender identity issues who identifies as female.  The prevailing belief is that the poster behind Maria is batshit crazy and that the Maria persona was created with the express intention of scamming people and giving voice to that poster's delusions of grandeur.  Maria's threats towards others and her over-developed sense of entitlement - along with the pure bullshit she posts - are the primary reason for people's venom towards her.  Even if she was trans, she'd still be a nasty piece of work and attract hostility due to her behaviour rather than gender identity issues.

You'll notice that people are confused about usagi's gender - usagi seems to identify as male sometimes and as female at other times - but their criticisms of usagi are pretty much focused on his/her lies and deceptions regarding his/her investment schemes rather than gender ambiguity.

In a way, this thread has kind of deteriorated into the same type of thread as the "Give Bitcoins to Homeless Jackie" thread. It's deteriorated into misogyny because the general sentiment of threads like this are these "Bitcoin pits" where people use gender as leverage to extract Bitcoins from people in one way or another. Frankly, it's sad, because these people seem to encourage misogyny by giving people on this forum a reason to see females as unlikely rarities instead of actual good people who have something to contribute. So, I'd like to thank people like Maria. Even if you truly are a woman, your asshole personality has tarnished this forums opinion of you regardless of gender. At least Wrong RAP had some semblance of respect while (s)he was on these forums.

</rant>

You don't actually use the internet very much, do you?  If you do, you clearly don't spend much time on forums.

If you come onto a forum making a wild claim about your own prestige that you can't back up, people ARE GOING to troll you. The focus of this thread wasn't whether Maria was male, female or trans-gender - the focus of this thread was that she/he is bullsh*tting about being the "oldest miner on the forum" as claimed in OP's thread title. We didn't come to this thread because it was titled "I'm a woman, does anyone dare challenge me?" We came here because the OP was making a wild claim about her prestige.

Her credibility is what is in question and when he/she claims to be someone they are not, it is necessary to point out the holes in her credibility.

If trans-gender people take offense to the comments made in this thread it is not because they are trans-gender and we are attacking them, it is because they are being overly-dramatic and self-absorbed CHOOSING to take offense to that which has NOTHING to do with them.

If I am correct, Maria may not even believe that.

Guilty. I don't like password proliferation. I don't make cyber-stalking too difficult.


At least one person did take offence (not me). As I have said, I can't know their exact thought process. Random women checking out the forums may not know Maria's posting history. In response to your specific comment, I said that Maria (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=112396.msg1245617#msg1245617) would be strongly offended if she was trans. It was a direct personal attack, so you are setting up a bit of a straw-man here.

The fact that this is the Internet does not change the fact that there are real people behind the names, and it should not change behaviour.

Being on the internet hasn't changed my behavior in this situation. I would call bullsh*t when I suspected in real life too. And when those real people want to be real people I'll treat them as such, but when they want to hide behind a fake persona that they call the truth and then make wild claims of prestige I'm going to call bullsh*t and I'm going to point out holes in their credibility.

She/he asked if we knew how much BTC she/he had, I said enough that he could probably become a woman if he wanted to. There was no malicious intent in my statement, it was a statement of fact. I didn't say anything about whether I thought such decisions to be right, wrong, moral or immoral, I merely stated that it could be done if the OP chose to do so.

Again, if a trans-gender person is going to take offense to the comment it is not because the comment was made with malicious intent it is because they WANT to see malicious intent in the comment.

Accusing anyone of faking their gender is woefully inappropriate without evidence. Nobody here accuses anyone who claims to be a male as faking their gender, and this should be no different.

^ I have been called a whiny bitch a few times :D Does that count?

The evidence is that they are using the image of an Indian actress as their avatar and trying to pass it off as themselves.

Oh man, this forum is being so pussified and neo-liberalized that it almost seems like a parody.

If this were a YouTube video, I'd probably think it was the pilot for a new Cracked.com show.

You say that like it is a bad thing ;)

If bitcoin is going to gain a following beyond right-wing Libertarians and Anarchists, it has to happen. One alternative is to shut-down the forum (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117093.0).

Many marginalized groups should find Bitcoin compelling. You don't want to scare people away with a toxic forum.

There are still plenty of the fun, crackpot filled threads to go and have fun in. ^.^

I'm all for a non-toxic forum, but I must point out: Have you ever seen the comments on YouTube? This forum is tame compared to YT and I don't see users fleeing from there in droves...

I would only think maria is a man because only a man would be dumb enough to sit around and waste time with bitcoiners like this. No offense. Just a joke.

why this necro?
maria is loooooong gone

</thread>

But she still lives in the hearts of some men. Goddamn it! Now I have go and jack off.

You're probably not the oldest.

You did not reply to the claim that you are a dude, not a girl. Any proof of gender?
