Post by: jubalix on April 24, 2013, 05:27:31 AM
This is a bit tongue in cheek, but since we have "I'm back" I for one would  like to know who has the biggest *Rep*.. (interpret this as you will).... rightly or wrongly. Persons and entities may be considered.

Some worthy contenders for the Crown.

Zhou
Nefario
TRC Dev (i'm shutting it all down....no I'm not)
The FED (Ben&Co)
The Bitcoin Foundation
This forum
Gox
BFL
The Bitcoin Foundation (they make the rules don't they)
none of the above

????
....
Profit
Person of your choice

any more you think should be added

'notoriety'
'scammer'
'ledgend'

aren't they all the same?

as Oscar Wilde said the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

Had to go with BFL.

A couple of your choices are small-time (if annoying).  A couple are only politicians.

Satoshi is beyond 'rep'.

Gox is kind of like a comfy old shoe that every now and then you put your foot into and there's a scorpion in there.  And the forum is too meta, for me anyway.

But BFL is special.

I can't see Satoshi on that list.

I vote Satoshi, no one is at all comparable.

pirateat40 of course, highest amount of BTC scammed ever, non on the list comes even close, probably none will come close ever in terms of BTC amount.

Yup, nothing will ever come close to this in my opinion.

I suspect that's wishful thinking.  There's plenty of opportunity ahead for people to pull off bigger scams, and no shortage of likely victims.

Hell, we haven't even really seen any attempts at a hedge fund scam yet.

There are going to to be by far larger scams in terms of dollar value, but in terms of bitcoins lost... With the redistribution during the year's bullrun, correction, recovery I don't know that collecting Pirateat40 numbers of coins is going to be as easy as Trendon had it.
