His username has been changed to ""Default Trust" is Tyrannically Centralized! (goat)"

Are VIPs able to change their own usernames?  I can't see Theymos changing a username to that, but I could be wrong.

VIPs and staff both have the ability to do it.

Fairly new to bitfinex but a long time lurker Smiley

That's madness, it implies at least a 25 times gain in bitcoin price per year.

I don't see the math??

current lending rates is around .2%/day
.2%*365days=73%/year

that's less than a double per year to profit

You didn't compound the interest, it's 0.2% ^ 365 which comes out to about 206% yearly.

@SaltySpitoon

He never really apologized. At the time I was trying to make the best of his abuse. I still had a pool to run.

What he did was wrong and yes it has bothered me for years. I'm not sure what part of the world you live in but here if someone said that to your face you would get your ass kicked.

So you're just bringing it back up to stir up some drama then?  Because that's what it looks like.
284  Other / Meta / Re: Secret staff forum? I'm stunned on: January 02, 2014, 03:42:09 PM
It's a pretty boring place, most of the posts are just ban requests for spammers.
285  Other / Meta / Re: Theymos, where is your sense of pride ? on: January 02, 2014, 12:26:16 PM
May I ask why the hostility towards them ?
Genuinely curious.
founder is a well known scammer and involved in at least 7 law suits.

 Could you kindly provide a specific name I could run through Google ? I was not aware of that factoid Sad

 Damnit...

Really? A life time member did not know? You must be trolling. No one is this stupid.

Really welcome to me ignore for real!
I'm not involved at all in the foundation, please tell me

I'm also not involved in the foundation and would like to know.
286  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: WTB Bitcoins on: January 01, 2014, 02:54:25 PM
I would advise anyone against selling BTC for PayPal, as PayPal can be reversed.

Are you using TOR or a VPN to access the forums with that account?
288  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: If you could travel back in time, how would you change Bitcoin? on: December 31, 2013, 02:13:06 PM
they need a way to split stocks, but with the coins.

turn 12 million coins into 120 million. 

no one wants to pay for a sandwich with .00000012 of a coin.

Why not?  Huh

It's not like you have to count out a hundred satoshis by hand.

I really don't understand the fixation on the magnitude of amount used in payments. Most people will end up scanning QR codes in the end, right?

Because small numbers like that will confuse most people.
289  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Never confirm attack? on: December 31, 2013, 12:27:51 PM
Such a transaction would not even be relayed. Any transaction that is relayed normally will confirm eventually.

Nope, relaying =\= guaranteeing confirmation.

If a thread I replied to 4 hours ago is already on page 6, then it's an incredibly busy forum and could do with being spread out a bit.

Like to completely separate forums?  Grin

The post has been moved into the trash, just waiting for someone higher up to take a look at the account now.
292  Other / Meta / Re: Can I Deal In TRUST RATINGS? on: December 29, 2013, 02:15:54 PM
Out of interest how do you get put in the default trust list? Do you have to do a trade directly with Theymos or just appear to be trustworthy by doing other successful trades etc?

There's no specific answer to this, but you pretty much have to just give good trust feedback on people.
293  Other / Meta / Re: Can I Deal In TRUST RATINGS? on: December 28, 2013, 07:31:00 PM
You might be able to, but you'll get negative trust from me if you do (and maybe others as well).

I'm not sure of the forum rules on this one.
294  Other / Meta / Re: VIP Member "goat" abusing trust rating system on: December 27, 2013, 05:20:12 PM
Goat is an immature idiot.  Just ignore his rating.  Everyone knows it is meaningless.
Then why the **** is he in the depth of DefaultTrust?

Do you really want to know, or are you just being cute?

The trust system is entirely public, you can tell exactly why goat is on the default list. There have even been threads about it.

It's gotta be that one, because whiskers must research things before posting them.  I'm assuming that based off of him getting all worked up over the people who didn't look up anything about avatars.

Im willing to adjust feedback and it would have been better to pm me directly. No one is perfect.


Happy holidays.

So OP didn't PM you before posting here?  Love when people get on the soapbox before trying to resolve the issue the right way.
296  Other / Meta / Re: VIP Member "goat" abusing trust rating system on: December 26, 2013, 11:05:37 PM
So you saying malicious and wrong trust ratings are allowed?

The staff will not get involved in any situation like this. If you need to resolve anything you should speak to the person who is leaving bad feedback and hopefully get it resolved. Otherwise, the staff cannot help. Although, informing people that someone is doing it without any reason is a good idea.

Yup, this is exactly right.  The best way to handle this is to PM someone before posting a thread, did you do that OP?
297  Economy / Speculation / Re: Predict some big monthly events for BTC in 2014 on: December 26, 2013, 10:10:27 PM
Some events happening next year:

- Wall Street is going to get involved, major pumping (and dumping) is going to happen in Q1 or Q2 of 2014
- More adoption in China, people will have found a way around the obstacles, already BTC China is accepting vouchers that people can buy elsewhere
- Mining SHA256 based coins is no longer profitable for individuals starting Q2 2014, there will be a shift towards shared cloud mining operations
- Mining Scrypt coins is starting to become unprofitable for individuals starting Q4 2014
- Bitcoin will be tied to other electronic currencies, such as the M-Peso
- Trade volume will go up, arbitrage trading will become less profitable
- Countries will make further clarifications towards crypto currencies regarding regulation and taxes
- Crypto currencies become a major threat to the remittance industry
- PayPal will introduce an integrated Bitcoin wallet
- Bitcoin will hit the transactions per second bottleneck, will require software update
- Bitcoins blockchain will require pruning to be implemented or people using remote servers. The first will require a software update
- Bitcoins market cap will grow towards 50-100 Billion USD
- A lot of infrastructure and products and services will be added to the bitcoin eco system, providing solutions for consumers and merchants.
- Signifant adoption, tens of thousands of merchants are accepting bitcoins by the end of 2014, including several very big retailers.

50-100 Billion?

Optimistic aren't we?

A 5x-10x increase in one year still seems possible.
298  Other / Meta / Re: VIP Member "goat" abusing trust rating system on: December 26, 2013, 10:00:17 PM
The trust system is not moderated, and it has nothing to do with the VIP rank.
299  Other / Meta / Re: The last posting from your IP was less than 360 seconds ago. Please try again on: December 26, 2013, 01:53:36 PM
Logging in and sending PMs also count as a 'post'.  Give it some time and the restrictions will get better as you rank up.
300  Other / Meta / Re: Better organized Alternate Cryptocurrency sub-forum? on: December 26, 2013, 01:06:29 AM
If you want to talk about alt-coins then I'd suggest finding a new forum.  This has been asked about before many times and I don't see a reason why it would be changed this time.
