Another tip.  I'm not bilingual, so I may try to use Google Translate if you post a topic not in English, but most of the time it makes no sense so I can't award Merit.  My apologies for my lack of ability. 

Also, if your post is shilling some altcoin or talking about how great companies are that have a questionable support record when it comes to Bitcoin, I will probably not leave Merit either. 

Damn, everything you say is a lie.  I didn't respect you before, but now I see you are no better than the pigs you lie with.  I contacted you asking how much it would cost and never asked for anything free from you.  I even proved that already with quotes.  You never gave me an amount and then claim I was begging for free advertising?  It's like you're repeating one outrageous lie after another, hoping that I'll stoop to your level and justify your ridiculously juvenile usage of the trust system.  Unfortunately, you're digging your own hole with this one buddy.  Keep digging though, I like it.  These types of ponzi quotes aren't going to age well, but like I said in my message to you, I'm glad you've finally shown me your true colors.  Funny to know apparently there is a price you'd be willing to accept to advertise an organization you believed to be a Ponzi...  Trust abuse like this will need to continue happening for DT to get fixed to being a legitimate system, and I'm thankful for those who work tirelessly make this crystal clear.  Thanks guys!

I never pretended to be your friend.  You reached out to me repeatedly trying to get on my trust network and I told you no, over and over again while explaining why I don't trust you.  If that's what you consider a friend, I truly feel sorry for you Vod.  

Maybe people should take it easy on Vod for a while.  Seems like he's had a rough couple of months trying to damage the reputation of longtime established members in the Bitcoin community.  It's clearly taking it's toll on him mentally and emotionally.  Even his own recognition rating system has me rated higher than him, which has to hurt his ego.  Last time that happened he changed the algorithm of his site to give him a higher ranking, I'm sure he's probably working on a new algorithm as we speak.    



Surely wasn't the type of talking you were doing in Slack the night of the extortion.  Almost comical how much your tune has changed.  You owe me & Zeroxal an apology for your role in supporting the failed extortion attempt as well as the lies you've repeated about me since and denials only show that you think your behavior is acceptable, which it isn't.  

I never did trust you, but you obviously knew that or you wouldn't have questioned me about it so many times.  How many times have you switched back and forth from trusting to distrusting me now? 

Some of Vod's lies, more to come:

This spat is doing an excellent job of displaying "the Trust System's Stupid Shit" as is clear for everyone to see.  All in good fun, unless you're Vod or others who seem to be getting a little emotional and pulling out the kindergarten words.

suchmoon, I have no idea why you don't trust me.  I'm sure you probably have mentioned it on numerous occasions but you've also said so many things that aren't true about me, I'm not sure why you think I should concern myself.  Maybe if I talked with you a bit and got a chance to know what you do for Bitcoin outside of posting on this forum, I might have a better opinion of you as I currently have no idea.  Mostly I try to avoid you and only respond to your false allegations when I happen to see them, so I only know of you as a troll and that probably isn't fair to you.  Hugs!

I was in the slack group and in communication with all parties while the extortion attempt was occurring. You on the other hand blindly support the guilty parties. The extortion attempt only happened as a misguided attempt of Lauda’s to try and make it appear that I had sold a large amount of seats on a public auction that was purchased with ill-gotten money (proven not to be true).  I question your motives each time you try and push a false view of my efforts for this community, which is quite frequent. The extortion attempt on Zeroxal was 100% an attack on me because Lauda was jealous that I had raised the funds for NastyMining to install a solar array and I don’t know why you and others fail to grasp this simple fact.

I really don’t know why I feed the trolls at this point. It’s obvious the intent here is to bury Vod’s bad behavior so that he can get away with his lies and trust abuse while those who support his inclusion in DT can pretend they didn’t know what Vod was doing.

As for your other nonsense above, eoakland was sending me all sorts of threats, none of which he acted on, so he clearly isn’t a user of his word. It’s weird you think I should not distrust someone who does such things.

You posted lies about me and I've proven that.  I posted allegations about you that are very much supported by evidence, but you are irrationally emotional and unwilling to acknowledge the facts so you've now resulted to trolling me with ludicrous claims of flat-earthers?  WTF?  We're supposed to be representing the community that has set in motion the largest transfer of wealth in mankind's history.  Your immaturity is shockingly frustrating.

I'm sure someone out there downloaded the DT trust lists and can show when Vod added me as trusted to try and influence me, then flipped me to untrusted when I didn't do what he wanted.  Not that it matters, because lets face it, Vod isn't even disputing my claims and is just repeating lies while putting the onus on me to prove both sides.  Disappointing, but again, this is why I've tried to avoid this irrational emotional user for the better part of a decade.  Unfortunately I made the mistake of offering to sponsor his site, which is all it took to set me down a path of being labeled a scammer.  People probably wonder why I don't try to sponsor more projects around here or why the established users eventually get chased off...



Not interesting at all for anyone who has been paying attention, except for why suchmoon keeps playing the loyal defender for these users' bad deeds.

Well, I just proved you are the liar attacking a honest community member with lies.  Take your emotional issues up with yourself and leave me out of it.




The abuse I received from those members I felt bordered on criminal, along with TMAN, so I feel very justified in my ratings.  I don't share all the threatening PMs and emails I get, as I don't want to encourage the kind of stuff these people say to me, so I could see how someone would either make an incorrect judgement based on their own misconceptions and not having the full story, or flat out use my refusal to promote their abuse as a way to cast doubt on my intentions.  I'll hope in your case it's the former, but I have my doubts.

Me too.  Let's take a look at who the liar is as it is crystal clear.

---

This is nothing more than a made up lie.  I contacted you asking how much it would cost ME to sponsor your site.  The PM is below.  You never put together any sort of package for me or mentioned an amount in spite of my pressing, that is another lie.  I also never offered you "shares in nastymining" as such a thing doesn't exist.

---

Let's take a look at when we stopped talking about the sponsorship. 


Seems like you were concerned only with advertising budgets to see how much you could fleece NastyFans for, not understanding that I was trying to sponsor you personally out of my own pocket and NastyFans isn't something that has a monthly marketing budget.  I can see now I overestimated your reading comprehension skills.  In any event, no package ever materialized like you mentioned above and this clearly shows that I did not offer you "nastymining shares" which was your stated reason for why we stopped talking.

---

Really?  This is an odd quote for someone who was not interested...

---

You added me to your trusted network, contacted me to remove my ratings of Anduck & Quickseller or else you would distrust me.  You also stated you would distrust anyone else that has left positive feedback for either party.  You repeatedly made statements like the below, to the point where I had to explain to you ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WHY I DIDN'T TRUST YOU.


I certainly felt showered by all your merit at the time.  Although I guess "showered" is up for interpretation. 

---

I don't expect anyone to worship me.  I'm just a guy who has dedicated nearly of decade of his life to helping Bitcoin.  I only take issue with people who attack provably honest community organizations with lies.  Look at Hhampuz who called me names and contacted me on a private channel just to insult me so he could get screenshots to post here on the forum, I didn't even leave him negative trust.  Even you suchmoon have made how many derogatory statements about me?  Still, where's the negative trust?  Seems maybe I'm not the one with razor thin skin using the trust network irrationally?  Vod is clearly an emotional wreck shooting off distrust to anyone who doesn't bow to his commands.  Maybe this is how you want this site's trust network to work.  It's not what I had in mind when I was trying to maintain it.

Sorry.  Escrowing reversible payment methods ain't my thing.

You also claimed I had Quickseller in my DT2 trust list, which I don't believe is true.  You'd have to prove that I had him there for a length of time to address me thinking that you are the liar.

I've avoided you for years on this forum and only reached out to you to offer sponsorship of your BPIP website, up until you started cherrypicking data to give yourself an artificially inflated score (see a trend yet?).  Strangely, the merit stopped after that until I made a comment criticizing Lauda, who you have alluded to being a scammer but stated that you were unable to tag him without retaliation (has anyone awarded me merit more times than Vod, who thinks I'm a scammer?).  It was at that point I realized that you'll do whatever it takes to inflate your perceived self worth, and I only wish I had seen it and blocked you sooner as any interaction with you on this forum is certain to be a negative time waste. 




How could I have been more clear?  Clearly there is a moron involved here, I'm just not sure you realize who.



Thanks for pulling this data.  I see you did give me a merit on that date you mention, how weird you mention that date.  It was on that day around a year ago you made the comment that I knew I would be in store for some drama.  All of this dates back to not some imaginary DT2 inclusion, but because I left a trust feedback for Quickseller for a smooth and successful several thousand dollar deal.  It was never a matter of if I would be able to avoid drama with you, it was only a matter of when you'd attack.  Judging from the trust feedback you left me, we now have our answer.

EDIT:


Anyone else notice whenever I point out trust abuse, it seems to go ignored and I get attacked instead of my concern being responded to?  I wonder why that is?

A search of my PMs with you shows that you have messaged me about Quickseller multiple times over the years until I eventually blocked PMs from you.  I don't believe I ever added him to my trust settings though and think you literally pulled that out of your ass, as I've reviewed our exchange of messages.  You were crying about a trust feedback I left because we had a successful business deal even though I noted his prior bad behavior in my feedback, and explained why I left it anyway.  This while continually asking me to leave you a trust rating and add you to my network while showering me with Merit at the time.  Between that pathetic manipulation attempt failure escalating to you telling me that you'd add me to your distrust list unless I removed trust ratings for Anduck and Quickseller and if I did you would add me to your trust list, I really think you are part of the problem.  For my part, I told you to..., blocked you, and kept the trust ratings even though this has resulted in me carrying a -1 DT rating and thus effecting me far more than the other parties involved.  This is called integrity.  Your latest comment of "has done nothing wrong to everyone else" is just an example of how you look the other way for those who support your agenda and is in no way related to anything I've said despite your fantasies otherwise.  You really are a slimy user and I honestly think you and Blazed were the main causes of the old DT's failure.  It is no surprise that you're still grasping for control and trying to bully people with the new system.  If DT is so important to you that you're willing to bully others and minimize their contributions for some misguided revenge scheme, have at it.  I won't fight you.  However, I won't pretend you are a white knight either when you act like a slimy wannabe bully.

ETH is an unsustainable blockchain that is horribly suited for it's main use case and heavily overvalued, but it is not a scam.  The "semi-experts" like Vitalik Buterin are also the innovators that are bringing waves of adoption to cryptocurrencies by building things utilizing blockchain technology.  I would argue they are exactly what "we" need while those who create no value and try to diminish others building real blockchain projects can't be shown the door out of this community quickly enough.

I like this idea.  The only problem is, who starts it?  I was going to make a new thread with the idea that thread starters be given the ability to disable merit on their thread, so that the user who starts the thread for public Merit giveaway entrants isn't accused of doing so for the Merit.  I didn't though, because I don't want to be accused of proposing the idea just for the Merit. 

Thank you for the kind words and support.  Your order shipped out this morning.

Here's an example of the trust system's stupid shit.  Last of the V8s claims I scammed 2,100 BTC.  This is untrue, and yet some of the con-artists on DT have actually included this moron.  Using this guy's logic, every single company or organization that has ever offered ownership and hasn't yet returned 100% of the stock's price in the form of a dividend measured by a volatile currency is a scam (spoiler alert: this is every publicly traded company in the world).  They're literally making things up.  It's this sort of ignorance that's dangerous and those who include them in DT to further their agenda need to be pushed out of the DT system if we're to restore any sense of legitimacy to the trust network.



If you haven't added ~Last of the V8s to exclude this bottom feeder from your trust settings yet, you should.  Those who have included this user should also take a long look at what sort of ignorance they're enabling and hopefully at some point the community will hold them accountable as well.

---

Edit:
Here's another user, Hellot, who was trying to help scam me and is included into DT by other con-artists only because of their negative trust rating on my account.  In the last 3 1/2 years, this user has left 3 users trust ratings.  A negative rating to isoneguy who popped up and left a bunch of bogus negative ratings.   A negative rating to me for not letting myself be scammed and a positive rating for minerjones.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;u=351430

~Hellot should also be added to exclude him from the trust network and those including his ratings should be looked at.

I find it fascinating that users with almost no sMerit are opening threads asking for help identifying merit-worthy posts.  As you stated, I can understand why Merit Sources would ask for a little help from time to time identifying good posts, but someone with a couple sMerit asking for this sort of help seems less than genuine.

Happy to spread the joy!



I knew something about my bushes looked funny.

Was it meant for the memory clock to be higher in the efficient setting?  Is there a reason behind that?

Now kraken has officially delisted BSV.

Additional services that have removed BSV include:
@blockchain
@SatoWallet
@phantasmachain
@Bittylicious_

Ending in a few hours.  Happy bidding!
