I don't know if this really classifies as a scam, underhanded yes, but not really a scam
Oh hi, Thanks for confirming you're also a scammer, welcome to my ignore list. Goodluck with your scamming business.... coinlenders That's just a paid advertisement for Coinlenders. |

I'd say Sweden and Japan are easily at the top.
I'd say Korea definitely trumps Japan  Different styles for different tastes. In Seoul there's a pretty narrow type of ideal beauty that girls will attempt to conform to. Whereas in Tokyo, I've found it much more diverse in terms of style and fashion. If you go to Shibuya and Harajuku you can see lots of different types of girls, all sexy in their own way. If you prefer the Korean ideal of ultra femininity, then you'll probably prefer Korea. |

I look up to Britain.
lol, really? I assume you're just making a nicely placed joke. Just because Hoxton on a Saturday night is nice, doesn't make up for a country full of mingers!  |

Maybe if we ignore him he will go away.
We were doing so well until OP. Sorry, but bitcointalk just doesn't feel right without Atlas. I'd just lost track of him. |

When you're right, you're right.
Inaba is pretty clearly telling the truth here I believe.
How could Garr be so stupid. Like he really needs some low post count random account to add another negative post. Mind blowingly retarded move by him.

Josh gonna Josh itt...not too surprised.
However, I think it's highly improbable that Josh faked that screenshot. He's a lot of things, but I seriously doubt he would try to pull that off.
Someone should start a wager on bitbet. Especially since there seem to be quite a few people here who believe that Josh faked the Werner post. Should be some interesting action.
edit: Also, Garr obviously fucked up here badly as well. Both parties have done wrong imo.
edit again: Garr scamming the bids and such is much worse and in completely different category than what Josh has done itt. Just want to make myself clear.

Isn't that why TF pays more for high post count posters?
I was assuming that was because the advertisment is displayed once per post... That makes sense too. |
|
|
|
So how is this going to work with this new "Activity" system?
I don't think the Activity number affects the number of times the signature is displayed, so nothing should change. Doesn't it affect the perceived value of the advert though? Isn't that why TF pays more for high post count posters? Now we are on a completely different system. If he isn't going to change the proposition, that's perfectly fine. And easy for everyone. But I just hope to get some clarification now that things have changed. |

Is Tonko Bill Gates?
Don't know, probably no. I really like to rhyme, yo How do you feel about bitcointalk changing to this "activity" system? They basically took all your recent hard work and thrown it out the window, crippling your business. Kind of sucks |

Man, if you're gonna whiteknight the guy, you really should be more informed about who you're whiteknighting.
I'm just interested in seeing some positive organization in bitcoin. I don't know anything about rpietila on a personal level. I've just followed his posts and support his organizational ideas. I think they are good ideas because they are type of thing that happen naturally regardless of who is the first to come up with the idea, or who actually steps forward to implement it. As you can see with what happened with rpietila's idea for the BDNA. Localbitoin ended up implementing a very similar network with the same fundamental goal. Similar enough that rpietila saw fit to pause his development of BDNA. At least he is actually working to further bitcoin. Most people here seem to have an aversion to progress. |

Interestingly enough, many libertarians flock to Bitcoin because they are sick of the "power hierarchy" involved in money. They're tired of the corruption, money shows, and power struggles that result.
It only took a few years though for bitcoin to become full of those who would seek to make it a miniature power struggle that real world doesn't even care about. You've got people creating pseudo "foundations" that charge bitcoins for the "right" to vote on something that you can easily vote on with your money instead. You've got people trying to create business investor groups to hold down competitors while preaching libertarianism in public (false prophets). And finally you've got those who seek to make bitcoin a pissing contest instead of just using bitcoin for what it's meant for.
If all it takes to be "important" or "in control" (mining) in bitcoin is to have lots of money, then bitcoin has already failed in its decentralized goals. I have never and will never respect someone for having more money because I understand the fragility of assets, especially bitcoin, which can be forked instantly whenever the people "in charge" start fucking it up for the rest of us. Makes it really hard to take power structures and ploys for rich men seriously when the bank's very foundation and backing can be ripped out overnight and new banks can pop up the next day with a different backing.
I see bitcoin's price as being backed by the trust of developers and the current ownership of mining power. If Hitler owned all the ASICs in the world, Bitcoin would fork to something else. If Gavin was bought by the NSA to do their bidding (and a dozen other developers were threatened or bought), Bitcoin would fork to something else. Why build power structures around such temporary and easily removable backings?
Human society in almost all cases gravitates towards these types of power structures. Only difference here is that I think rpietila understands that inevitable fact of life and embraces it as opposed to rejecting it. As you can see in his design of the Supernode concept. Even the purest anarchy is just a temporary transitional state. It's not something that is very likely to be sustained. Unless there is some sort of radical cultural change with regards to how people embrace social structure. But this is almost certainly not going to ever happen, seeing as how I think it's somewhat obvious that humanity embraces social structure. |

Just wondering.
I have a slight suspicion. But not really sure.

The Supernode concept needs to be developed over time and marketed so that people can become aware. I don't believe it is something that most people understand the potential of. I think in time people can come to understand the benefit of a social organization such as the Supernode network.
It's somewhat similar to the Lions Club or Freemasonry. But potentially on a much bigger scale as since the network is based around bitcoin, it grows while bitcoin grows.
There is value in that. But I believe the idea is not obvious for many people in bitcoin. And it needs to be communicated in such a way so that people can have a better understanding.

You guys are getting trolled.
There was no btc close to ten years ago and pools are a new thing.
Op is full of shit.
Yes, and it's a really weak trolling effort as well. |

+1 on the choice of winner. Good pick. Well deserved.

Just to give you some insight on my take on this. I would not participate, primarily because I would not like to publically disclose my net worth and secondly, because I would dislike paying 0.5%. Good luck though  I suspect that the fees will go towards the benefit of the Supernode network as a whole. In such a way that the nodes will be happy to pay the fee because it will provide value to the network and also them. |

|

Also, I was wondering if you were expecting nodes to conform to some sort of predefined moral standard? Like a code of conduct. Or is everyone free to act as they wish according to their own personal standards?

(I think my level should be between Prince and Duke.)
Didn't you have more than 10M m BTC? I have publicly claimed to have between 2,4M and 35M m BTC since 2012. I still do. Maybe I don't feel I want the pressure of Duke even though I have the coins, or maybe I don't have the coins or want to show off. You never know. When I decide to qualify myself for Knight/Baronet/Baron status(assuming someone is willing to bestow the title upon me of course), is part of the procedure going to be signing a message with a bitcoin address that holds the required number of coins? Or do you have something else in mind? |

MtGox is a steaming pile of shit that's been a major obstacle to bitcoin since 2011.
I look forward to the post-gox era of bitcoin.
