Title: Most Influential Forum Members
Post by: CoinHeavy on February 05, 2014, 09:58:32 PM
Who are they?
(by # verified btc)
(by quantity/quality of posts)
(by community reputation)
etc.

Measurable metrics are preferable to keep things relatively objective.

I'm curious about who currently holds the most sway around here beyond the obvious folks like Gavin and Vitalik.

by reputation: MPOE-PR

I seem to remember Phinneas Gage has the most posts by a long margin, I think there is some way to look that up?

Ha, The only person who is more ignored than MPOE-PR is Smoothie.

People ignore her because the truth hurts.

She and smoothie are ignored because they are abusive trolls. They lack style.

People ignore her not because she tells the truth but because she seems to think that her posts matter, I got tired of her awhile ago trying to aggressively spam other people who were just trying to have conversations on their own and ask perfectly reasonable questions. There's nothing stopping people from telling the truth without being complete cunts about it really but there aren't that many people on the internet or anywhere who are capable of that.

One does not simply become a troll.
Ignores shouldn't matter imo.

Deathandtaxes is up there.

Yeah, in the top 3 for sure.

ArtForz too... almost forgot about him. He's the one who made GPU mining possible for the masses.

A few come to mind:
-etotheipi (for Armory, the gem of wallet security)
-Jon Matonis (more for his consistent press rather than his contributions to the Foundation)
-Trace Mayer (I'm not sure if he has an account here, but I respect his knowledge and professional demeanor)
-Casascius (duh)
-Matthew N. Wright (completely absurd that one poor bet overshadowed his contributions to the community)

Who do you trust more, Goat (whatever long absurd username he has now, something like "Grand poobah of bullshit mountain Goat") or Matthew N. Wright?

The answer is purple.

P.S. Who wouldn't trust a Goat?

Absolutely, without a doubt, Matthew N. Wright.

Seriously, this didn't even cause me a second of hesitation.

the joint, still upset i got the 5 btc you thought you won in that bet, how sad.

Come on, Goat, don't be so sensitive.  What is it with you and bringing up shit from like two years ago?  Don't you even remember the outcome?  We both won.
