Very disturbing, but how is this any different from other police violence related deaths, throughout the years in your country?
This time the protesters are wearing masks. I did watch the whole video of the incident... very disturbing. Almost like a snuff film. I wasn't prepared for it.

What's funny is that nowhere in your long-winded, insult-ridden response did you demonstrate how my timeline was incorrect. I didn't because it is irrelevant in spite of your protestations otherwise. OK, so me pointing out exactly how you are lying is "irrelevant." Totally trustworthy behavior. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) Just give up the lie and admit it for what it is. Peloso has no qualms doing that, neither should you.

I had a family member die a few years ago and it bothered the crap out of me when I saw somebody logging in to their Facebook account, showing up as "active" in the chat menu. So what I did was ask Facebook for their account to be memorialized. That means that the account is still there yet no one can log into it, kind of like Satoshi, and there's a little message that accompanies it saying "Remembering So Andso"... The qualifications for the memorialization of a loved one's account is quite simple. It reads as follows: Please provide a scan or photo of your loved one's obituary, death certificate, memorial card or other documentation confirming that they've passed away. Nobody here knows better than Facebook when it comes to deciding what to do with a dead person's social media account. I'm sorry -- you just don't. They know an obituary is pretty strong evidence that someone is deceased. That's what I submitted to them, and voila, memorialized account. No more anybody pretending to be my dead relative. Should it turn out that this person was not dead or faking their own death for $7 grand... guess what? The account can be reactivated! Problem solved. Now I'm not going to call everybody who thought he was still alive after I posted his obituary 2 days after his death a moron, but Jesus Christ people, I'm utterly disappointed with how many of you are lacking some pretty basic common sense. People don't fake their own deaths for $7k. It doesn't happen. Bruno never scammed anybody, so everyone who decided to whip up some far-fetched conspiracy about how this was some kind of master scam needs to do some introspecting and just be quiet on this issue for a while. Facebook's approach should be standard for what happens whenever a notable forum member is decidedly deceased. And it won't happen often because almost nobody is as public with their identity as Bruno was. After somebody presents theymos with an obituary from a website that specializes in such, or a newspaper, or whatever, the account should be locked. Adding "In Memoriam" is a nice touch if appropriate. Again, it won't happen often, so there's no real reason to argue about the "what ifs." Now I'm thoroughly sick of discussing the issue - I have been for a month and a half - so this will be my last comment on it. I just beg of people to please have a little more forethought before churning out a post on what is a sensitive issue that we all must face one day.

The price is supported by an influx of noobs. Once that well dries up, Clams will essentially be worthless.
No different than any other coin, including BTC. Price of BTC on 4/13/18: $7,666 Price of BTC today: $8,821 Change: +15% Price of CLAMS on 4/13/18: $3.83 Price of CLAMS today: $0.27 Change: -93% I'd say that's very different from BTC. You forgot about little things like usability and adoption. You guys did have a magnificent pump in May 2019, however. Congrats. My condolences to all the suckers brought in over the last 2 years. I'll be back in another 2 years to check up on things.

Didn't CH post the same (DRK scam proof links list) many times, warning of the instamine scam, but only forgot the link to the list in a couple of them?
I think he linked to the same proof a bunch of times, but only missed the link in a couple of them? No?
Either way... It's not as egregious as word spinning (lauda).. CH just posted a list of links with "plagerized" descriptions/headlines of the links..
If CH deserves a ban for posting proof links, the word spinners deserve 2X+ the same ban, easy..
Posting a kindof well know list doesn't seem to involve deception, especially along with unique text on topic of the list..
Word spinning, on the other hand, shows deception.. Shows that they knew it was plagiarism, and were trying to get away with it, to hide it..
For any that don't know or remember, these plagerism accusations came against CH a long time ago as an attack in retaliation for speaking out as the status quo.. And failed... So keep that in mind also..
First of all, I'm not talking about the numbered list. I specifically said that instance wasn't plagiarism. I'm talking about the second example which is word-for-word copying another person's post and passing it off as their own work. Second of all, regardless of the motives behind why somebody reported plagiarism, plagiarism is still plagiarism. Doesn't matter what you think is more "egregious" as this isn't a contest -- if somebody copies the work of another verbatim and doesn't attribute the source to it, that is plagiarism.

Perhaps he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of a brain cancer, started a fundraiser to raise money so his body could be buried near his original home, and died before he had the chance to finalize his plans. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You completely sidestepped addressing Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Never mind that these things have nothing to do with the facts of the matter, what is important is that I demand you address them as if they are real! If you don't address them as facts then you are just side stepping them!
You again completely ignored my post where I pointed out exactly how you were lying while using verifiable evidence to do so. I mediated a dispute between Timelord and some members of the Turkish community, they added me, as a result I ended up back on the default trust list.
This is not what happened. With the exception of 1 member, (Blacknavy), he added all of them first, before he knew how they would respond to his "mediation" (or well before the entire thing took place). The real order of events is this: - TS gets included by Turkish members and ends up back on DT1 (with a positive score) - TS "mediates" dispute between Timelord on Turkish community - TS's reciprocal trust inclusion history is exposed- TS falls back off DT1 (with negative net inclusions) ...7 months later... - TS ends up " back on" the default trust list with +2 inclusions You were back on DT1 before the dispute with Timelord. Just because my reply is not consistent with your delusions doesn't make me a liar. It just means your assumptions about my intent are not only meaningless but incorrect. I responded to your accusation more times than I can count now, but some how you expect me to be able to prove my intent, but since I can't I am a liar according to you. You have ZERO evidence of anything except your determination to craft these series of events into some kind of malfeasance to serve your own personal petty vendetta. In order to "manufacture timelines", one has to first operate on the assumption that your timeline means anything other than more assumptions on your part. You feel you have some kind of right to not only demand I explain why I included these people, but that it must be done in such a manner commensurate with your demands, or else I am "manufacturing timelines". It is not that you are making baseless assumptions, no, not at all, it is because I am "manufacturing timelines" that my replies don't meet the standards of your demands. Not only that there were private communications as well, there is also the fact that I thought their trust lists were also positive additions. Some of the users I added for the simple reason that I agreed with their trust list. Is this where you tell me again what is a valid reason for me deciding who I do or don't include based on your own personal preferences? Nothing you are accusing me of is anything that couldn't literally be applied to any other member actively using custom trust lists. Much like a fed uses process crimes to charge people with crimes when they have no evidence, you are using the idea that I don't meet your arbitrary standards in your interrogation as "proof" of my guilt. This is all just a game you are playing to pursue your own vendetta. But since I admittedly can't prove that I know what you were actually thinking or what your actual motivations were, I ask that people look at the body of evidence presented and come to their own conclusions. There is no "body of evidence". There are a string of assumptions, with accusations stacked on top of them upon which even more assumptions were based. That is not evidence, that is at best theorizing and nothing a trust rating should be based on. Once again, I manufactured nothing. You seem intent on this being some kind of deception, just like all your other assumptions here.
Some of the users I included because I thought their trust lists were beneficial, some of them I included because of their response to the advice concerning the removal of support from a frivolous flag. It is as simple as that, no "manufacturing of timelines" needed. This is purely a projection on your part designed to impugn my character to serve your own personal vendettas, and the vendettas of people like Vod.
Vultures like you saw I was achieving something positive and did a deep dive into my toilet bowl looking for any peanut fragments you could find in order to tarnish this effort that yielded positive results, because if I have a say in the default trust, I will erode the unilateral control and protection from being penalized for your own abuses that you and your friends currently enjoy. All the same people abusing negative ratings against me are all the same peanut hunters that are the most vocal in opposition to my calls for an objective standard of evidence before leaving negative ratings. This is about serving yourself, not about protecting the forum from me. Good thing I have you here to tell me what I am saying, I certainly couldn't do that without you selectively interpreting my words into what you wish them to be. I explained myself several times, Nutilduhh is intent on pretending that they caught me in some kind of ulterior motives when it is based on absolutely nothing but their own assumptions and bias against me. I don't need to explain myself because I have done it 100 times already and Nutilduhh doesn't want to hear anything except the narrative that serves their personal vendetta.
I don't care what you guys have against each other. I just looked at this and just respectfully trying to understand your viewpoint. You call it "selective interpretation" because maybe you don't agree with it. Which part? I have only asked you to reconsider adding people for the sake of bringing balance or diversity. You keep saying that the "Clown Car" is opposing you because they don't want you on DT-1. Maybe, just maybe, that is because people expect more frugal judgement from someone on DT-1. I have just presented my opinion on it above. In the same vein, I only asked you that you should reconsider whom you empower. Gave you examples above too. You have said earlier: (emphasis mine) You want to REALLY know why I added those Turkish users? Because they were just barely off the DT and I wanted to see it more diverse. Additionally because anyone the resident clowns exclude I immediately find interest in. The Turkish community was obviously being targeted. I don't believe it was for racist reasons though, I just think the clowns feel like they can't keep their iron grip of nepotism if more groups are included. All this circus is, is punishment for working to bust up their little clown cartel, and it is painfully transparent.
That is why i said: If we only talk about the trust with the Turkish users, he says that he may have added them for his own reasons. At one point, i think he has said that he wants the forum to have more diversity in DT1. That diversity also seems to be primarily targeted on having sufficient opposition to the "clown car" or whatever. LOL.
I just wanted to present a case before you (thinking you are an old, influential member). In any case, its your own judgement. You don't have to be rude. You don't know me enough. Our only previous interaction has been business that didn't go through. I hope to buy a mystery box someday as they have rave reviews generally. PS: Calling someone with an Amish" in name, a rube. That is rude even by DT standards, LOL.. The fact that you don't care that nutilduuh is pushing a personal vendetta here is relevant regardless of you caring about it or not. Disinterested third parties love making lazy casual observations not knowing the entirety of the story, but feeling perfectly confident giving their opinions about the situation anyway. The selective interpretation is where you tell me what I meant and cherry picking my replies to fit in with your half assed assessment. I don't know you and I don't care to. You are a muppet that just repeats what you see people like nutilduuuh say and treat it as fact. I have no interest in knowing people that don't have any ability for independent thought and pretend to know things when they are just casual 3rd party observers skimming the surface as lazily as possible. Maybe, just maybe you don't have any fucking clue what you are talking about and should keep your opinions to yourself. What's funny is that nowhere in your long-winded, insult-ridden response did you demonstrate how my timeline was incorrect. Here's the order of events you presented: 1. I mediated a dispute between Timelord and some members of the Turkish community
2. they added me
3. as a result I ended up back on the default trust list.
Here's what actually happened: 1. You added Turkish members to your trust list and they reciprocated (with the exception of Blacknavy who added you first). 2. You ended up back on DT1. 3. You mediated the dispute between Timelord and some members of the Turkish community. So, you lied. Stop lying and I'll stop correcting you.

* The Bitcoin software from satoshi syncs the current bitcoin chain (well, until it hits a bug with blocks over 500k, but if you fix that it keeps on syncing).
Except for the fact that it doesn't? Niiiice. Why? Did you try it for yourself? If not I'm going to have to take the bitcoin dev's word over yours.

I vote that the Phinnaeus Gage account should be locked, just like the Hal Finney account when it was hacked, to prevent it from being abused. What do you guys think? What if a next in kin uses the account to earn money? We may frown upon account sales, but it's not against forum rules and the account could be part of an inheritance. Definitely an impossibility at this point. Besides, would you really want that? What we should have proposed from the beginning is that the account be locked with the VIP title. Facebook has this "In Memoriam" feature where you can have a deceased loved one's account locked with those words on the page... or else it says "Remembering Soandso...." All it requires is a submission of the obituary to Facebook. That's all take it takes to prove to normal people that someone has died.

I've been watching this take off over the last week and a half and yeah, it really seems like the next big thing. On one hand, the digital (NFT) Garbage Pail Kids cards aren't "real" in the physical sense -- you can't hold them in your hand show them to your friends IRL. However, from the standpoint of the collector, they should be every bit as real -- they exist to a certain extent and are quantified on the blockchain. So long as the blockchain runs, they "exist." What does a collector do with their cards anyway? They don't stare at them all day. Most of the time they just sit there, occasionally being showcased or traded. WAX and Topps make both of those easy to do. And of course there are benefits to them being digital rather than physical: they won't get burned up in a fire, they won't decay, you can't spill coffee on them. I know Topps has plans to launch more card series on WAX in the future -- hoping the idea catches on with the physical card collectors.

Maybe I should have emphasised/specified that "going overboard", but I didn't want to add to the speculation... now I'm sorry I even mentioned it.
that's OK and I apologize for my previous insinuation...
|
|
|
No, they aren't "equally as likely". Especially as Bruno did had a pronounced sense of humour, and your "argumentum ad absurdum" is so obvious...
PS. Further more your qualification of a shitposter is totally uncalled for. It's not like I either have a history of doing that, nor do I have campaign in my signature what calls for something like that...
OK well as an acquaintance of Bruno and someone who communicated with him regularly during his final days I am a bit frustrated with all the conspiracy theories flying around, and I wish people would consider Occam's razor in deducing what happened rather than inadvertently sullying his reputation any more than it already has been with unsubstantiated speculation -- for what reason exactly is beyond me. Think about what you proposed: Bruno, on his deathbed, would instruct somebody to try to run a scam with his account, under the motive that it would be received as a Bruno-esque prank? That makes no sense at all. The scam attempt was very real. Bruno never tried to scam anybody.
|
|
|
There is one scenario I didn't see anyone mention (or did I miss it?): it wouldn't be beyond Bruno to actually instruct someone to post after his death as a final "pun" (and that person now "went a bit overboard")... it would fit his sense of humour, wouldn't it?
No, it wouldn't. There's at least 500 scenarios nobody mentioned; for example - aliens did it - time travelers did it - it's part of a deep state coverup - Satoshi Nakamoto did it All are equally as likely a scenario as what you just proposed. Really we don't know anything for sure at this point. I don't know what's up with the rampant speculation, but shitposters gonna shitpost.

(The possibility of cyberpinoy buying the phone is bigger than seeing Bruno alive!)
Thank you... This is one of the most reasonable conspiracies I've read about him today.

At least if Brazil legalizes guns we can start seriously considering it as a seastead destination.
The Atlantic Ocean off of Brazil is a vast open area with no hurricanes and low waves.
We have not considered it due to the crime.
those composite 3d printed seastead mock ups of yours dont look very protective when the ordinance starts flying. hide in the steel spar? how to return fire? remote turrets? see: waterworld for an (extreme and somewhat satiric) example. perhaps im being punked on this though. If he learns anything from last time, I hope its that at some point they will definitely be attacked. It even happened to the original mother of all seasteads: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principality_of_SealandSince 1967, the decommissioned HM Fort Roughs has been occupied by family and associates of Paddy Roy Bates, who claim that it is an independent sovereign state. ... In August 1978, Alexander Achenbach, who describes himself as the Prime Minister of Sealand, hired several German and Dutch mercenaries to lead an attack on Sealand while Bates and his wife were in England. Achenbach had disagreed with Bates over plans to turn Sealand into a luxury hotel and casino with fellow German and Dutch businessmen. They stormed the platform with speedboats, Jet Skis and helicopters, and took Bates's son Michael hostage. Michael was able to retake Sealand and capture Achenbach and the mercenaries using weapons stashed on the platform. Achenbach, a German lawyer who held a Sealand passport, was charged with treason against Sealand and was held unless he paid DM 75,000 (more than US$35,000 or £23,000). Germany then sent a diplomat from its London embassy to Sealand to negotiate for Achenbach's release. Roy Bates relented after several weeks of negotiations and subsequently claimed that the diplomat's visit constituted de facto recognition of Sealand by Germany. Father and son badasses. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

Yes, I agree, it should be locked. Too bad the whole thing had to become such a travesty. Everything else being speculated upon in the past 12 hours is idiotic and serves no purpose.

Given the various obituaries and public outpourings of grief by his family members on social media, I would say he most certainly is dead. Proof, or it never happened. I don't think its appropriate to be posting links to his family's social media profiles here, or even their names. You're such a talented investigator that surely you could find them yourself.
