Be careful what you wish for, for it's not outside the realm of possibility of somebody coming along after starting a new account on this here forum, get double or triple vetted, then two short weeks later offer up a group-buy program that promises to make your wish come true by X date, with a BPP and guaranteed refunds up to the eleventh hour thrown in to boot.

Scammers trying to dupe people. Liars and trolls spreading FUD, trying to profit off gullible people or just trying to cause havoc for fun. People hating on each other because they have different opinions, insults flying low and pitchforks seemingly always at the ready.

All these people you mentioned are on my ignore list, you'll find that these morons look like they're the majority of the forum because they're busy trying to spam people like you off the boards because that's how they roll and it's a common theme on any forum the only difference is that on here there are that many people it looks like there's just a wall of hate, feel free to add the following people to your ignore list so you will have a much more pleasant time on the forums.

When it comes to community sites, I refuse to join any that don't have a working block/ignore function simply because it's completely taken advantage of, much like how marketers and scammers take advantage of the fact that your home phone line doesn't have a block/ignore function as well.

Included in the list are the following types, some of which you've mentioned: FUD Spreaders, racists/xenophobes, people who use personal attacks when they can't get you riled up any other way, scammers, spammers and all round in general fairly unpleasant people, funnily enough I think precisely because of the ignore function a lot of these people have given up posting now because their trolling doesn't really work.

That's one helluva list, and thanks for not including me on it, bud.

Theymos met wangbus through a member warren.
I don't know his username but you can see pics here http://hicapacity.org/page3/

I am Warren Togami.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=81508;sa=showPosts;start=0
I am a developer of both Bitcoin and Litecoin, management consultant and engineer.  My previous career was as a Linux Software Engineer followed by MBA and a bit of law school.  You can see from my post history that I have been involved in major bug fixes in Bitcoin during 0.8.x and 0.9 and have contributed to related projects like p2pool in both code and fund raising.  I also consult for <various Bitcoin companies> on business and engineering issues.

I met theymos late 2013 the day of the major security breach.  I initially served as an emergency security consultant, mainly in locking down the replacement server to get the forum back up and running as quickly as possible.  The site remains a bit crippled today (i.e. no uploading of avatars) because of paranoid server security configurations and shared agreement that the current SMF is not worthwhile to improve.  Upgrading to the SMF-2.x would be too much work to port and validate weird custom features (starting with Satoshi years ago and other administrators through the years) while the user experience wouldn't be much of an improvement.  Theymos studied the other forum software alternatives and was dissatisfied with all of them.

James Wang is one of the most experienced and versatile engineers that I know.  He has done iOS and Android apps, desktop applications, and highly scalable web and database apps.  Other engineers at his company are similarly talented.  He long had a desire to implement a better communications framework, and he was very excited when he learned that someone wanted a new forum where the end product would be open source as all of his past work was forced to be hidden within proprietary software companies.  His vision for the new forum is to not only do forum-like communications better, but to also reuse the same framework to do what Freenode does in a better way.  This could be a compelling new product that is useful for projects, open and closed teams and communities far beyond Bitcoin.

Theymos was late in getting help to achieve the stated goals for the forum, and it is too easy for people to criticize due to that tardiness.  Now I can say with confidence that there are professionals working on not only engineering but also protecting the forum as a defensible legal entity.  Shortly pieces of working code will be revealed to the community and be placed in production in auxiliary functions of the current forum.  A bit after initial portions go live the engineering firm will be directly engaging with the community for feedback on the new forum design.

I believe the community will be surprised and pleased with what comes next.  The purpose of all this work is more ambitious and goes beyond a mere medium of communication.

Boy, I wish I would have discovered your posts prior to IW going down.

InstaWallet's have a right to exist.  Users have the right to know the actual risk involved to make an informed decision if they want to use it or not.

Otherwise I may have moved out my 1,000+ BTC prior to the hack, for a week earlier I, too, was expressing concerns, but set to rest that all was well. Well, 10 months later after I submitting three claims, the lesser one, 0.835 BTC was returned to me just recently. Still awaiting an outcome for the other two wallets totaling 1,132 BTC.

He spent the 38 million on Kopi Luwak, the most expensive coffee in the world!

Not any more! Now, the most expensive coffee in the world is Karpeles Goxeles, brewed from the excretions of the elusive Mark Karpeles after consuming Kopie Luwak a few hours earlier. The first known cup brewed was smeared on the bodies of Long Dong Johnson and Skropenis, each on the other, recorded live, but never broadcasted, on Only One TV.

3452  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Mt. Gox Virtual Office Discovery on: February 24, 2014, 04:12:48 AM
I believe in good karma. Are you really going to defend Mark, their is solid proof he purchased a virtual office, explain this please. You have a office in a Tokyo highrise with private office, and staff... But decide to run everything from a virtual office. I've seen how bankruptcy proceedings work, the more assets you dissolve, the less you will have to forfeit in bankruptcy proceedings.

Yes, a company moving from a spacious high rise office would certainly be in line with a company winding down...

pardon my ignorance, but is there any news reports around stating that Gox are moving to a 'virtual office'?

That spacious high-rise office you speak of that Mark moved from was also a virtual office space that Mt Gox leased month-to-month. This was known two years ago, hence my recent postings. He simply moved from one virtual office to another.

As far as BTC Builder is concerned, I'm in a quagmire, for what's been presented to me to date, I'm hesitant to release due to the parties directly involved. Me not happy right now. Not happy at all.

I wouldn't count upon them having the foresight to impose NDAs on their employees.
Someone told me so.
Don't you see the huge discrepancy between being unable to design a webpage that can be scrolled as every normal webpage can and successfully bringing to market a 28nm ASIC? They can play dumb if they want, but one don't really have to fall for it.

Btw, we keep missing what they post on facebook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PjDF0tq5r28

Wow! Simply, WOW! That does explain one thing though, and that's why Long Dong Johnson and Skropenis were fired: They opted to not use their masculine voices during the filming of that video.

...an undisclosed location, due solely to a massive swarm/horde of two protesters friendly investomers of theirs kindly asking Mark Karpeles--once--about the status of their funds they've been requesting to withdraw for an ever extended period of time to date.

http://www.businessinsider.com/bitcoin-prices-on-mtgox-are-surging-2014-2

Quote
Many in the Bitcoin community still dislike MtGox for their unresponsiveness during the withdrawal suspension — recent protests, though they've apparently been halted by Japanese police, caused the exchange to move offices — and even if withdrawals do resume, MtGox still faces complaints that withdrawals in all denominations, not just Bitcoin, remain slow.

That said, I, Bruno Kucinskas, demand that Mark Karpeles be expelled from the The Bitcoin Foundation within the next 24 hours, for they (TBF), Bitcoin, and all those who have, and will continue to champion Bitcoin, are now becoming nothing but a punchline.

http://www.theonion.com/articles/superstitious-man-puts-bag-of-trash-outside-house,35333/

Quote
PHILADELPHIA—Admitting that his long-held superstition was a little bizarre, local man Colin Dowd told reporters this morning that he always makes sure to place a bag of trash outside his house every single Thursday. “I know it’s kind of odd, but for several years, I’ve had this complex ritual where I have to tightly tie up that week’s bag of garbage, carry it down the driveway, and put it at the exact same spot on the curb,” said the exceedingly superstitious man, adding that his peculiar routine also leads him to obsessively collect plastic, metal, and paper containers during the week, which he is then compelled to place in a separate blue container that he also brings out the same day.

“It’s quirky, but gathering up my household refuse into a black trash bag—always a black one—is something I just have to do pretty much every week, except during the holidays. And if I’m out of town, I’ll always get a neighbor to go through with the ritual for me. I just have to. Sure, it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense, but it’s just the way I am, you know?” Dowd added that on those rare occasions when he forgets to observe his outlandish custom on Thursday, he frantically scrambles to do so early in the morning on Friday.
