I would wager on it being BitScalper. He doesn't like it when I provide proof of him being a sociopath.

Stop talking about the Bitcoin Magazine. 

Already setting it up.

If A1pool disappeared with coins, that would be a scam.

I don't know how bitclockers even outright lying about stats can be thrown into the same category when asked "What other mining pools are stealing coins from users?".

Just say what's on your mind.

"There is no better mining pool than p2ppool and anyone wasting their time on anything else is an idiot".

Make me.

Well this was fun.

I'm emailing the winner right now with instructions on how to earn his BFL single by completing some simple offers online and answering some surveys.




































Just kidding. Getting shipping address.

It's not salted. It's just the e-mail address.

As for that being the true winner, I'll wait until DeepCeleron, DeathandTaxes and Theymos all sign off on it (since they seem to be the most knowledgeable about this method of confirming).

The table to confirm your win is here:

I understand it in theory, I just need to see it done and explained.

Yeeaaah gonna need some elaboration on that one.

Uhh, obviously I'd send it to the winner regardless.

Less talk, more walk.

I'd say I'm sufficiently guilty of being naive and being unable to see into the future, nothing more. This is already been addressed and a good majority of the effort and time spent on the magazine at this moment is involved in building the working team/system to create quality issues monthly, moreso than just pumping out a quick first issue solely to avoid forum members from claiming it's a scam.

Try this on for size:

A designer designs an entire article's layout and imagework only to find that the printer says that it "won't look right" and has to be done again. Does that take 2 months to fix? No. But what happens when the process of redesigning that article, the contents of it need to be updated and now the shape of the article changes as well? Does that take 2 months to fix? No. But let's say that when the shapes have been updated and everything has been changed and now a significant amount of time has passed between graphics designer, writer, and layout designer's not answering each other's emails in a timely manner, we get to a problem of how the revisions should be tracked and what system to use to pinpoint errors. Okay, well that doesn't take 2 months either. But what if the organization you're moving these standards on has 12 members that must all have meetings on issues at a time of day (all located internationally) that they can all be available? Okay, well that doesn't take 2 months either, but let's say that while having these meetings new issues of a legal, moral, quality, professional, marketing, or design nature come up that cause the original ideas that spawned the original articles and designs to change. This would mean that the entire process would need to be redone, and that doesn't take 2 months either, but let's say that in redoing this process, more, better ideas are thrown into the mix as more professionals join the team to replace those less aware of standards? Well this wouldn't necessarily take 2 months either.


Except when you apply it to the amount of articles, images, designs, revisions, strategies that are actually in the works, and then yes- it mostly certainly does take 2 months.

Thanks for reading.

This is not news. He claimed this from day one. His public defense for anonymity is because he's "afraid of prosecution" in Italy.

Depends on your definition of success. Atlas is a success, if he is a stand up comedian pretending to be a retard. Otherwise, he's a huge failure.

Chocolate Rain was a ridiculous non-song with interesting elements that got people to watch the video, but it is only good for laugh value. Where is the singer of Chocolate Rain now? On his way to a record deal? Nope. He was a short term joke that a beverage company capitalized on (btw when I say that, I mean they basically made money off of the humiliation of him).

We don't want to be associated with that kind of stuff.

For those of you who actually want to know the answer to this,

The printed copy is made out of the digital copy, so when we say "the magazine isn't done yet", we're talking about the digital copy.

If you didn't provide an email for the digital copy or a proper physical address for the printed copy, it might not. Otherwise...

Sociopaths are usually defined as people displaying anti social behavior which is mainly characterized by lack of empathy towards others that is coupled with display of abnormal moral conduct and inability to conform with the norms of the society. People suffering from antisocial personality disorder are often referred to as sociopaths. Some of the other characteristics that sociopaths may display are stealing, lying, lack of remorse for others and towards living beings, irresponsible behavior, impulsive behavior, drug or alcohol abuse, problems with the law, violating rights of others, aggressive behavior and much more.

Research has revealed that since a sociopath never conforms to the rules of the society, he or she is not bothered about the consequences of his or her actions. Such people at times are also able to inspire like minded people. Some of the other traits that are common in antisocial people are that they are usually intelligent and have a superficial charm and they are able to attain success using unscrupulous methods. Thus they can also never learn from their own mistakes and they do not hesitate to indulge in certain activities that are considered immoral and taboo by the society.


For a person to be diagnosed as a sociopath he or she must have at least three or more of the below mentioned symptoms. (I've bolded the ones that clearly relate to you).

• Displays heightened levels of deceitfulness in dealings with others, which involves lying, conning others without remorse, or even using aliases
• Inability to abide by the social norms and thus violating law
• Displays aggressiveness and often tends to get into assaults and physical fights
• Displays complete lack of empathy for others and their situation for which they are responsible
• Displays no feelings or shallow feelings
• Displays impulsive behavior which is indicated by the inability to plan for the future
• Displays no concern for safety of others around them or self
• Inability to sustain a consistent behavior that stems mainly from irresponsibility especially at work place or in other dealings
• Displays promiscuous behavior

Just barely squeaked in there BitScalper.




Warning signs for sociopaths (again, bolded the ones you've shown):

• inconsistencies between what a person says and does
• excuses or subject changing when caught in a lie
• no feeling of shame when caught an embarrassing situation
• going around the question, answering it in a way that doesn’t really answer it
• ability to sense vulnerabilities and motivated in using them for personal gain or pleasure, manipulate without remorse
• seeing any social situation as a contest or a test
• ability to understand rules & laws and judging them as a part of “the game”, but no ability for empathy or emotional understanding behind the rules
• poorly connected speech and abundance of excuses, during speech using more hand gestures than normal. These tendencies reflect difficulty in converting thoughts and feelings into speech
• repeatedly performing acts that can serve as grounds for arrest
• irritability and aggressiveness, indicated by repeated physical fights or assaults
• disregard for safety of self or others
• cruelty to animal

Food for thought:


Sounds like Atlas.

hawhaw. Nope. It's boxed up and ready to be mailed. Sorry for making the blocks come slower.

The force of boxxy is strong with this one.



Bingo.
