If this ignoring nullius thing becomes a widely supported "popular" "mass" action, chances are he'll take it as a compliment... +1 merit, and also +2 256 WOsMerits! How do the lower classes fail to understand that my words are not for ineducable lumpenproletarians? I know that they are stupid, but I have patiently tried to explain this— with GIANT-SIZED LETTERS, for the benefit of those whose reading level does not exceed books intended for small children. nullius needs a filter to protect his pearls from being seen by unfit swine. The filter: If you ignore-list me, then ipso facto, you are unfit to see my words. Please—DO—IT. Thank you.I will make the unworthy masses collectively pull a mindrust![...] Whatever. The next stupid answer I get from you will make me ignore you forever. So think well before quoting me next time. [...] Yes, please! Place me on your ignore list. Forever. It is your loss, and I do not want for you to read my posts. Thank you.If you are not reading it, then it is not for you. @infofront:If this ignoring nullius thing becomes a widely supported "popular" "mass" action, chances are he'll take it as a compliment...
Maybe a poll is in order. Ask infofront for approval after all: this is his bitch. excuse my language in the thread must be too many cats on the brainYes, please! My campaign to deprive hoi polloi of my wisdom will neatly dovetail with my mesasge to VOTE, VOTE, VOTE for me as the forum antihero!
nullius & JJG They're harsh with words on these boards, but I believe it would be much more gemütlich IRL, though. Of course, I cannot speak for Jay; but as for myself, not so much “gemütlich” as, if I do say so myself, some other kind of good qualities; see Nr. 11 at pp. 20–22 (pdf pp. 40–42) for adequate context: ...die andrerseits im Verhalten zu einander so erfinderisch in Rücksicht, Selbstbeherrschung, Zartsinn, Treue, Stolz und Freundschaft sich beweisen, — sie sind nach Aussen hin, dort wo das Fremde, die Fremde beginnt, nicht viel besser als losgelassne Raubthiere.
Nullius on Ignore ^^^ An example of a lowborn dolt who has finally learnt his place. One way or another.
I decided NOT to engage ignore on him, if i'll read a post by nullius until monday and i'm NOT asking myself wether i should finally hit ignore or not. Your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries! Now, go away, or I shall taunt you a second time! How oft need I repeat myself? :-(Everyone being allowed to learn to read, ruineth in the long run not only writing but also thinking.
After wiring the funds from our latest windfall, to our main, joint financial institution, the most difficult decision I need to make today is "How many mg of psilocybin do I want to dose myself with, and is today the day that I finally put @nullius on ignore..."
Liar. You are too much of a sissy to ignore-list me. It is not the first that I have heard this from you. https://loyce.club/archive/posts/5414/54140405.htmlSuck my giant black cock.
To the hilt. https://loyce.club/archive/posts/5414/54140490.htmlI don't feel a sucking sensation yet in my penicular region.
Why not sodomize yourself with a length of rusty pipe instead ?
Better yet, fuck off to China for all I care.
Welcome, as a rare addition to my ignore list. Protip: If you want to ignore-list me, STFU and do it. Otherwise, it will much amuse me to ridicule you. Big talkers. Edit, an hour later: Made better reference to context in a certain book. No other changes.

I didn't remove them but there's a few reports against you there for off topic posts.
Thanks for the reply. Aren’t “off-topic” reports for WO supposed to be marked as bad by the forum moderators? Special Wall Observer rules: bitcointalk.org moderators do not moderate the Wall Observer thread for multi-posting (except obvious spam), trolling, or on-topicness. Do not use this form to report those violations; instead, contact the thread owner. Reports of other rule violations are OK here. I ask because I do try in good faith to abide by the forum rules. (And if I were to object to a rule in principle, then I would take it up in Meta in an appropriate manner, instead of just violating it—either that, or go get my own forum. This being a private forum, as I remarked in OP hereby.)
The line between WO and Serious Discussion has been quite thin for weeks (and probably from the very beginning, but I've not been active long enough to be able to know with certainty).
Although I had occasionally lurked there before, and some others there are quite serious, it was JayJuanGee’s serious discussion that first attracted me actively to post in WO. He is a legend of the forum’s great Wall—to the extent that some people apparently think that he should be walled up there as JJG’s Dungeon. ;-) Blame the wordy-man for attracting another wordy-man! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) I think nullius' posts are a category of their own and maybe Serious Discussion > Ivory Tower > Nullius' Dungeon might be a solution to avoid having his posts deleted from the WO in the future. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Thanks. Quotable. ;-)
I (YMMV) would try not to make a big deal of it. While we do, indeed, have "special rules" in the WO that gives us some flexibility... the context in which that exception was granted is also important.
Although your points in the rest of your post are well taken, I should highlight again the context of what was deleted here: Three serious posts. One specifically about a Bitcoin issue. One about thought control. And one about censorship on Big Tech social media (and by the way, please also consider the time it took me to craft that post—which I do not want to say). If I were to knock off-the-cuff some funny remark about someone else’s post of a woman in a bikini, and a moderator were to delete it, then I would disagree with that—but do you suppose that I would even take the time to make a Meta thread such as this one? (Again, I do not want to say...)Still I would not make a big deal if one (or several) of my off-topic/shitposts were to be deleted unless the occurrence of it suggested some sort of focused discrimination/censorship.
Although I do not want to speculate on that hereby, it is an unavoidable reality that I am widely disliked. Infofront could go and start removing ALL offtopic posts if he wanted to, as that would be in compliance even with the "special rules".
Indeed. If he were to do that, then I would fire off some scathing remarks about how he ruined WO, and then I would fuck off. But that is not hereby the issue. infofront has, in my opinion, kept the Wall Observer what it is. A huge amount of stuff is thereby posted which I dislike; infofront does not delete it, and he should not. I will even admit that I like his WO policy better than what Lauda’s probably would have been, had she won his position when she was a candidate; Lauda was an excellent staff member, but I think that she would have been too heavy-handed for the Wall Observer.
Also there is literally a board named "Serious Discussion". That's where serious discussion can go without being subject to the uncertainty of a special excempt self-mod thread.
Arguing against my expectation that I can safely post serious discussion outside of the forum named Serious Discussion— are you serious!? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I don’t know why anybody takes you so seriously. You are not an administrator, you are not staff, you are not even very smart—well, are are exceptionally skilled at winning popularity contests. You may guess how much weight I accord to popular opinion. Anyway, I do not accept Bitcointalk SV (Suchmoon’s Vision). I am “excempt” from your “rules”. Maybe nullius should stop fucking around with the post titles... seems like a dumb thing to do when you're posting in the one thread that allows bending a few rules. A mod may have made a mistake here but I wouldn't rush to blame them if the post title signals "I'm derailing this thread".
To your idiotic calumny, which you state hereby in the third person only because you are too much of a thin-skinned coward to address me straight to my face, I will simply quote myself: Why I RetitleI have always retitled posts when I thought that was appropriate. That has never brought any complaints in Development & Technical Discussion, which in my opinion is the most serious forum (yes, more serious than “Serious Discussion”). It has never caused complaints in Bitcoin Discussion, either— n.b. that that link is to me retitling on my own topic, which I assuredly did not wish to “derail”. Although my retitling of posts is sometimes hostile, that only occurs if the post itself is hostile to OP. As aforementioned, I not infrequently retitle posts in my own threads—and in others’ threads, I oft receive merit from the topic starter on a retitled post. N.b. that that last link is to a post where I rewrote Lauda’s topic title—and Lauda merited me! I have even retitled my posts in the (strictly self-moderated, very authoritarian) Cult of Lauda thread—just in case there was any remaining doubt about “derailing”, or any intention thereof. My post titles have sometimes been accorded praise in the titles of replies. Other than a few prior not-quite-complaining remarks in WO, the only place where it has brought complaints was in Reputation—from petty-minded nitwits with personal grudges against me, who were searching for an excuse to nitpick. —Now, what was that about suchmoon? Besides aesthetics, one of the reasons why I often (but not always) set custom post titles is that I use my received merit list as a navigational aid. Indeed, all of the links in the preceding paragraphs were rapidly found just now by hitting Ctrl-F, and typing in keywords that I remembered. I do this almost every day, usually multiple times per day; my most memorable posts often receive merit, and have memorable topic titles, so... Compare the Last of the V8s received merit list, which is more formidable than mine, but— opaque. (I have explained this before somewhere, in PMs and/or publicly; alas, I don’t know where, and I don’t have a handy navigational aid for finding it.) I like to keep things organized. Properly labelled. For the same reason, because WO is special, I retitle my WO posts with a “[WO]” marker. Where I think it’s appropriate, outside WO, I sometimes retain portions of the original topic title—sometimes not; I determine that by the overall context, whether I agree or disagree with the OP (and even whether I am the OP). Edit: For those who have not experienced the Wall Observer, have a taste: I sometimes retain... ...sometimes not; I determine that by the overall context, whether I agree or disagree with the OP (and even whether I am the OP). ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FPG2ZEsf.png&t=665&c=NK1UTDDu-b1IEg)

nullius can you please conform to Bitcointalk Suchmoon's Vision and not retitle the thread. apparently it equates to derailing.
Bitcointalk SV is not accepted here. suchmoon’s opinions are just that; I file most of them in “ taken under advisement”. Here, specifically, her opinion about “derailing” is arrant nonsense. 🗑️ Observe how wildly suchmoon lashes out at me from petty spite: She follows up her opinion of “derailing” by arguing against my expectation that I can post serious discussion outside of the Serious Discussion forum (!). Seriously? ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) I don’t know why people take suchmoon’s pronouncements so seriously. She is not an administrator, she is not staff, she is not even very smart—well, she is exceptionally skilled at winning popularity contests. You may guess how much weight I accord to popular opinion. I do have reasons for changing the titles on many of my posts; please see below, just in case my motive for retitling posts may be questioned by somebody whose opinion means more than suchmoon’s. she would have those darn trains running on time i'm pretty sure of it "the new leaderette"
LOL, I see what you did there. Vide the title of this post. Why I RetitleI have always retitled posts when I thought that was appropriate.

Dude your Greek you don’t pay any tax
you're And a big congats to Bob and Rick!
congrats ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif) Yeah, but mine was a typo 'cause of my cheap useless keyboard. Hairy just can't spell, and he is a native speaker. sure. the fact that u need 3 posts to excuse your stupidity and blaming it on cats and keyboards tells a lot about your maturity. a spelling/grammar nazi should really be a tiny bit more careful in his own posts. I saw your mistake yesterday and so did everyone. did I or harry or anyone else take the effort and point it out to you? take it like a man, sissy. you are making it worse. Your wrong. There is a world of difference between a simple typographical error, which everybody (and even nobody) sometimes makes (its just human!), and a looser who cant distinguish the meanings of drastically different homophones. If that upsets you, to bad. Relevant:#condescension backfire What’s wrong? You are literate in ancient Greek, and you have a scholarly critique of my admittedly amateurish grammar? Or do you complain that the word I constructed from Greek roots was inadvertently omitted from your dictionary? [...much lulz...]P.S., just in case you ever do catch me in such typographical errors as I not infrequently find in my own posts, keep handy my stock answer for criticisms from creatures far below my level: — Am I mortal? Do I myself sometimes make bizarre typographical errors (usually induced whilst editing) which are not caught by my obsessive exercise of the preview button to read proof? Alas! It most saddens me when such a fate befalls one of my precious little belles-lettres. Nobody has yet dared to flame me over such a triviality; but if or when that happens, my response may be expected to be along these lines: “Quel dommage! I have erred! 😢 The form of my art is marred by some trivial flaw which dishonours its unavoidable substance! I will now slap myself in the face with a large trout, and then drink myself into a stupor. Meanwhile, complaints from my critics shall be filed according to the virtù of their own substances, as measured against mine. 🗑️”

imho Vitalik will be remembered as the guy who coined the term "bitcoin maximalist" but no one will remember ETH. it is kind of ironic that is was vitalik who gave the bitcoin community its identity. before a bitcoiner was a bitcoiner. but a bitcoin maxi is a completely different beast. he tried to introduce this term as an insult. and in typical bitcoin grandeur, the supposed attack was morphed into something that made bitcoin stronger.
hasta la victoria siempre!
As far as that guy goes, he gets what he gets. I distinctly remember when Vitalik launched ETC, he made it very very clear that ETC was not even a "cryptocurrency" per se. He said that. He also said that ETC would never be a competitor to Bitcoin. Those were his exact words. Then somewhere along the line he started to get 'selective amnesia' about the things he actually said... so fk that guy. LOL. Couldn’t resist. Yes, I know what you meant. :-)

I'm looking forward to seeing some evidence behind these claims.
Simple. Use Monero, find out if you are on the list. dragonvslinux, I think that by now it’s obvious that badcaca has nothing except s’kiddie-tier bragging, bluffing, and spamming the shit out of this forum with long lists of txids, randomly selected peer IPs, and annotations of what are probably just his own porn fantasies. Proof: Simple. Ask him some technical questions, find out if he has an answer.I suggest reading the paper.[...] You are confusing cause and effect here. Transaction sitting in node's mempool is caused by it being intercepted and then rebroadcast. There is no such thing as a public mempool on a p2p network level. What you are seeing on the website is a snapshot of one node's mempool. The way dandelion++ works is that the transaction will be put into the original node's mempool, broadcast in stem phase, and if the node doesn't see it again, it will be broadcast in fluff phase. The "not seeing it again" part is the cause of the delay. Based on a reasonable inference of what you seem to be suggesting that you are trying to do: The Dandelion++ authors were way ahead of you. That is an admittedly low standard, because you don’t know what the hell you are doing. You are listing the IP addresses of random peers, exactly as I said!§4.4 at p. 17 of the Dandelion++ paper speaks thusly: ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FU3uD6gS.png&t=665&c=VsRZjrSCNtAP0Q) If you claim to be defeating Dandelion++’s random timers, then please show your work with maths and stuff. (LOL, as if.)

Very likely reported by an 'enemy'.
Idiots are free to report all they want. That is why moderators have a neat little widget that marks reports as “bad”. (Or they can just leave borderline reports unhandled; but none of these three posts is anywhere even close to violating forum rules for the Wall Observer.) Mine often got deleted moments after tussling with a high-up scammer. Just maybe by a noob who doesn't know or care for the rules, or a regular who doesn't like your stuff. Snitches lol. Lazy/high handed deletion by mod. Plox restore and mind your own business.
n00bs and angry retards, I can understand. Moderators are supposed to be better than that. I am surprised that you sometimes get posts deleted. I never have in WO—only a few in Reputation, and in the Russian Reputation thread.
Subject: [WO] Blockseer, U.S. OFAC, and attacks on Bitcoin fungibility
Not sure why this one was deleted. Seems like it has relatability to BTC and BTC price. That actually doesn’t matter. As screenshotted in OP here, with red letters and boldface in the original, with my highlighting added: Special Wall Observer rules: bitcointalk.org moderators do not moderate the Wall Observer thread for multi-posting (except obvious spam), trolling, or on-topicness. Do not use this form to report those violations; instead, contact the thread owner. Reports of other rule violations are OK here. The topic is infofront’s call. infofront did not delete my posts. As can be seen from the self-moderation banner at the top of every WO page, infofront rarely deletes anything at all; I think that most WO people like it that way. It is a part of the WO appeal as a sort of forum-within-a-forum.

Why is there still no trust shown in Project Development? Because the resultant whining would be lethal.

Trying it now. It’s set to “show, on by default” because “off by default” requires Javascript to work at all. This box appears all the way at the bottom of the page, where it is inconvenient and I almost didn’t see it. (Probably also a “please run arbitrary network-loaded executable code” issue?)

Meta topic: Moderator deletion of serious discussion in the Wall Observerhttps://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5289261.0I am not generally wont to complain about moderation; to the contrary, I think that there should be more of it. However, there is a real and perhaps unprecedented problem whereas the following posts, fully reposted below, were deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator (not by infofront) from the Wall Observer:All timestamps are UTC. Listed in reverse chronological order of when each post was made.[...] For my part, I am usually supportive of the moderators; they have a hard job, and I have no wish to make it harder. However, if I were to say nothing about this publicly, then I would hereafter need perpetually to second-guess myself on whether I have permission to discuss Big Tech censorship (!) and Bitcoin transaction censorship (!!) on this forum. Inter alia.In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. I would feel thus a chill wind blow over my ability to engage in serious discussion here, if I did not place the individual who deleted my posts on notice that I will call out exceptionally stupid moderation decisions.

Subject: [WO] E pur si muoveFor those who do not understand the subject, and its relation to Galileo (discussed below): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_pur_si_muove!Deleted Post« Sent to: nullius on: Today at 07:06:43 AM » A reply of yours, quoted below, was deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator. Posts are most frequently deleted because they are off-topic, though they can also be deleted for other reasons. In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted.
Twitter is for bird-brains.Dumb twits. Good satire; however, I do need to make some corrections and additions. America is not the world-police!Evil Empires: “Commie, and very Commie.”Just had to say it. I don’t see an argument here; I think that Ron Paul would agree with me at least on the “no world police” part, and on the importance of national sovereignty. Pseudo-Paul’s tweet is, of course, deadly correct. Galileo was not popular.He stood against not only the Church, but also society itself. Accordingly, he was about as popular as I am: A few intelligent people appreciated him, such as the Medici duke who was his primary supporter at the end of his life; he even had supporters high within the Church. But he was otherwise considered scandalous, and even criminal. The ignorant modern mind tends to assume that rebelling against the Church was always super-cool. Whereas in 1632, heresy was like racism, sexism, or social class discrimination are today. (n.b.)Galileo’s wife was so embarrassed and angry at his sins, she burnt his papers after he died. Unknown works of irreplaceable genius were thus irretrievably destroyed. Because: Unpopular. The notion that he would have received 2.3K retweets and 18.6K “likes” is wildly implausible. Galileo is cancelled.If Galileo actually said, “But it moves!”, such was the classic protest of a man who attempts to move the world. Also, per the above, Galileo’s sentencing by the Inquisition occurred in a course of events in 1632–33. He was persecuted in 1615–16 (when Copernicus’ De Revolutionibus was added to the Index Librorum Prohibitorum), so that is not incorrect; but 1633 was when he was actually forced to recant, and condemned to house arrest for the rest of his life. —If the date of 15 May 1615 has a special significance, I don’t know it off the top of my head; accordingly, I would congratulate the satirist for having exceeded me on that particular point. Paul Revere did not actually say this. And in April of 1775, the American colonists still identified themselves as British. Such use of the term “the British” is a widely revered anachronism.If Americans were to warn each other of an impending BATF raid today, they would not shout, “The Americans are coming!”Most of the colonists of early 1775 were proud Englishmen, standing up for the rights accorded to every free British subject by law and custom. Their attitude was not unlike that of the American Patriots who today seek to “restore the Constitution”—who “love their country, but fear their government”. Although succession from Britain was definitely on the table in early 1775 ( cf. Patrick Henry, et al.), it took some time for the increasingly radical British protesters fully to form a separate identity as Americans—socially, culturally, and politically as declared on 2 July 1776 (celebrated 4 July, because Americans are not very good with dates and times). Of course, the Battles of Lexington and Concord marked a major milestone in that process of radicalization; but it must be viewed in its historical context, as indeed the major turning point between the conciliatory attitude of the First Continental Congress, and the rebellious attitude of the Second.

At a glance, it is much more true than that. The Communists developed specific methods of brainwashing which, of course, have in varying degrees now been spread far and wide. Awhile back, I actually intended to write something approaching Communism and Covid from another direction, which converges with what you just posted; so... mostly it seems to be about authoritarianism;
I think that that word is way overused and abused. Well, I am an authoritarian. the communism side needs drawing out.
How many pages do you want me to add to the Wall Observer? :-/ so thanks Gott we have a chance of being sovereigns ourselves

I am not generally wont to complain about moderation; to the contrary, I think that there should be more of it. However, there is a real and perhaps unprecedented problem whereas the following posts, fully reposted below, were deleted by a Bitcoin Forum moderator (not by infofront) from the Wall Observer:All timestamps are UTC. Listed in reverse chronological order of when each post was made.Note: Due to the ugliness of this forum’s quoting, especially for extended texts, I have broken my posts out of quotes. The moderation PM message, and a correct <quote> tag suitable for each original post, are above the unaltered post text from the moderation PM.As I myself recently discovered, there are officially “ Special Wall Observer rules” in bright red letters that would have been seen by whatever anonymous coward reported my posts: Thus, the “on-topicness” of my posts cannot even allegeably be an issue. At this juncture, I observe that: - None of my posts violated those of the forum rules that apply everywhere, including WO. (At a vast stretch, trying to puzzle out what rule I allegedly violated, I have a suspicion about what an idiot hell-bent on rules-lawyering may say about one of them; but that would be ridiculous, and anyway, it could not apply to the other two that were deleted at the same time.)
- All three of these posts contained serious discussion. Whether one agrees with me or not, only a fool would accuse me of shitposting. Anyway, shitposting in WO is not to be handled by the forum moderators (if at all).
- Ironically, one of my deleted posts replied to a satire about the suppression of free discussion by Twitter. Did I perhaps peeve a moderator who wishes to turn this place in Twitter?
![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) - Ironically, one of my deleted posts replied briefly to a list of Communist thought-control techniques (with comparison to government
handling of exploitation of Covid). - One of my deleted posts was about a serious Bitcoin issue, i.e. a new mining pool that does transaction censorship and blacklisting. I believe that this is an existential threat to Bitcoin (as I intended to explain in part 2/2 of my “coredump”). If serious Bitcoin issues cannot be discussed in the Wall Observer, then—I am at a loss for words to complete this sentence.

If theymos didn’t want me here, he could kick me out with the push of a button. I will not go off into some liberal whine in the manner of “ Help! Help! I’m being repressed!” This is a forum with a high reputation for free discussion. It thus invites the value of “user-generated content”—which I myself usually would never give to any site that I do not own, as a matter of principle (n.b. an argument that would fall flat if propounded by those whose scribblings are not valued by others). And as such, this forum has attracted a community of the type that cannot be found in the sheep-grazing wastelands of Twitter and Facebook. I don’t think I am going out on a limb in positing that some people here will want to know about these deleted posts! For my part, I am usually supportive of the moderators; they have a hard job, and I have no wish to make it harder. However, if I were to say nothing about this publicly, then I would hereafter need perpetually to second-guess myself on whether I have permission to discuss Big Tech censorship (!) and Bitcoin transaction censorship (!!) on this forum. Inter alia.In the future, please avoid posting things that need to be deleted. I would feel thus a chill wind blow over my ability to engage in serious discussion here, if I did not place the individual who deleted my posts on notice that I will call out exceptionally stupid moderation decisions.

I should address some other issues in this case; but first things first: Vlad2Vlad just made some extraordinary claims in another thread, which are quite relevant to this merit source unapplication. I Don’t Steal. And When the merit system atarted They had a formula where some legendariess got thousabds of merits. Now go change your tampon cause soon I’m Gonna elevate to legendary extraordinaire. Ahd BTW, I’m just getting started maxing out the Pro bitcoin SV guys. Don’t blink. It smells like bullshit to me. Vlad2Vlad is a habituated liar. Moreover, I have spoken on cordial terms with several Legendaries about the merit system; and I never heard of anybody receiving more than the well-known quota of grandfathered sMerits: So the most you could get is if you were a Legendary who maxed out your activity points in the last year, in which case you would get 1 * 0.4 * 1000 = 400 sMerit.
For example, Lauda had a slightly older account than Vlad, twice his post count, and a history of having been on staff; I know that she did not receive extraordinary sMerits to send! With that being said, of course, I cannot be absolutely certain that this is false. Only staff at some level (or perhaps, only the administration) could be so certain. Vlad2Vlad also claims a past direct acquaintance, and even friendship with Faketoshi himself: Noob with barely 400 activity points. Lol Vlad was legendary long before you Even got here. And you think he only gave merits to bitcoin SV, check out _hv, he got at least 50 points (And he’s just getting started). You commie, you think you can tell a man what to do what he’s earned? Did you see the guy he got to 777 merits? That was the funniest. Vlad gets fixated on numbers, like triple 7’s and he had to get those numbers lined up. Ha! And do you even know what Craig is building or are you just another muppet chasing the quick cash. And Vlad and Craig worked together for a while, they were TIGHT, but had a falling out. Is that fake too? Do some research noob cause I’ll reach legendary before you the way you’re working. Lol There will be another level added above legendary and you won’t reach it cause you don’t have what it takes. Next post in the same thread:Snap: forgot about my buddy, Craig. Ok so he blocked me but he rages on everyone. LolBut I know what he’s building so I think our paths will cross again soon. Looking forward to it. Commie noob, is this a fake pic like I’m a fake legendary? We need to downgrade noobs like you a notch for insubordination and looking to discredit legit legendaries. Note: I have replaced the evidentiary image URL with my archival copy; the original is at <https://i.ibb.co/FDVTbF1/8373-E759-73-B8-4389-BE9-A-9226-E8-CC7-ADA.jpg>. I have also added highlighting, added image width and height attributes. The quote is otherwise unmodified; in the preceding quotes, I have only added highlighting, and trimmed the internal quotations of my own post.If the claim is true, Vlad is proud to have been a close “buddy” with what well may be the single worst scammer in the world of cryptocurrency. If the claim is false or exaggerated, Vlad is a liar falsely bragging same. Either way, Vlad is an extremely dishonest and untrustworthy character. For him to have merit source status is completely ridiculous. What’s next, hiring Craig Wright on staff? For anyone who is even minimally familiar with my post history, I need not remark on the irony of my being randomly accused of being a Communist. ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
Just out of curiosity, does anyone know of any evidence as to whether or not the account has always been under control of the same individual? Hello nullius, without thinking that I'm defending him - which I'm notPlease be assured, Gazeta, that I will never improperly mistake attention to facts. I am always attentive to facts—even (and especially) as to people whom I so despise and accuse. I do not bring false accusations! - I don't think the account changed hands and I'll explain why. [—insight into Vlad2Vlad’s diction and style (or lack thereof) in the Romanian forum—] But this guy always wrote in the same bad Romanian when he posted on the Romanian board. Thank you for the information. I consider my question to be satisfied on this point; as I said, I do NOT like unfounded speculation. I do not want to start gossip and rumours. I will focus on what is known to be bad about Vlad2Vlad. ...everything is clear: he merited an impostor, his attitude is anti-Bitcoin and he became (miraculously) a merit source without an application.

Needs an illustration of this would look like if Americans had any style, which they don’t. I hope that the new QE Infinity® printers will let people produce $100 trillion banknotes of such elegance from the safety of their prisons “homes”. For you Americans, “Hundert Billionen” means what you would call 100 trillion-with-a-T:![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fupload.wikimedia.org%2Fwikipedia%2Fcommons%2Fthumb%2F4%2F41%2F100-Billionen-Geldschein-2.jpg%2F1024px-100-Billionen-Geldschein-2.jpg&t=665&c=6sVvpvmoeM0E1A) Anyway, hyperinflation is ugly.
