Both.


What you saw (and what everyone else saw) is just Ratimov's true character. This is the character he tried hard to disguise all these years, in order to fool everybody about what-a-great-forum-contributor-he-is. Until this topic, only those which dared to confront him "had the honor of being blessed" to meet his true face. He was carefully though to hide everything when users' eyes (and, especially, DT users' eyes) were on him. But now he could not refrain his dementia anymore and allowed everybody his real face.

If you feel like this individual should never get back to DT1 again please don't forget to add him to your distrust list.

Look only at how ridiculous this looks like:


291 merits for a blank topic.

Or this:



23 merits (10 being from theymos!) for this very interesting "34a3". The content "34a3" must be very useful.

Also, as a side note, by taking a look at the 78 topics you listed here, I noticed that within the ones not deleted his name appears now as "R20231030" and the rank is guest. So this guest got 10 merits from theymos for writing "34a3".

I was being sarcastic In case you are not aware (or you forgot), that was Ratimov's infamous introduction to his plagiarized topics. He presented them using those words, like it was his material while, in fact, he was copy-pasting tons of essays written by different authors.

Okay, please let me know when you finish. And please make sure you follow exactly all text formatting.

I almost spilled my coffee because of laugh while reading this. I believe Ratimov saw this post and got scared:

---

I also made a post inside NotATether's thread (and I really hope that he'll use my suggestion)

---

We can expect anything from this Ratimov. Including to write again all his topics, for earning some more thousands of merits.

I, for one, am still waiting for someone to reinstate one of his topics and start it with "In this article I would like to touch upon such a theme [...]".

Instead of that line you should have used this one: "In this article I would like to touch upon such a theme [...]".

---

You should. This way he will also understand better how it feels when his own work is stolen. Unless it was also a work stolen from another author.


Actually, it does. Besides, have you asked any author when you stole his intellectual property and introduced at as being yours?


LOL! This is the most hilarious situation: BitcoinTalk's greatest plagiarist of all times complaining that someone stole his work =))) This is getting ridiculous.

Thank you for your interest. At the moment only one topic was translated in Urdu, so you have several choices. Please let me know which topic you choose and don't forget to send me a preview after you finish the translation (before publishing it). Also, please make sure you follow all rules I stated in OP, otherwise your translation will not be approved.

This is just one more example that bureaucracy is the same allover the world.


You are now like a modern Robinson Crusoe

Well, it's not my report -- iwantmyhomepaidwithbtc2 shared it, but I found it very useful so I suggested it too.


Awesome!


Thank you for your efforts boltz!

I make an appeal to all users which made previous reports and also to all which can give a hand of help: can you do one more effort, please, and report these imposters as well?

Dear LV, I feel worried about you. Your situation lasts since September, if I remember well and we are already in November... I wish you to get better soon buddy!

I rented my signature starting November 9th.

For understanding you could just read the replies made inside this topic.


Your answer is here.


Of course. He managed for years to steal the intellectual property of many authors, why couldn't he do whatever he wants with his intellectual property (assuming that was his intellectual property)?

Someone could repost all Ratimov's topic but start them all with this introduction: "In this article I would like to touch upon such a theme [...]".

How would that be?

---

I noticed that he keeps deleting posts and I also made a mention earlier:

---

I also want to salute philipma1957's decision to distrust Ratimov. Surprisingly, zasad@ did the same. Synchronice took a similar decision.

Day after day more and more people open their eyes about this imposter and day after day, those which were afraid of him now react towards the years of abuses Ratimov made.

---

Zuzma, have you considered presenting this topic in Russian local board?

That's no error.

It's just Ratimov's futile attempt of covering his plagiarism from the past, when he deleted 78 topics, by fooling Russian mods and transforming them in his personal garbage men.

For more detail you can also read this topic.

Hehe, thanks for mentioning me here, lovesmayfamilis! But I am not sure why I've been mentioned though Oo I see it's a topic mentioning some poor translations and a spam from Bengali board -- which I am aware of but, other than that, I have really no idea why you mentioned me.

However, since I am making this post, I would like to share a few things about my perspective about translations of my threads.

As some of you may know, I have a topic containing my most important essays, which I wanted to have translated in other languages. So far my writings were translated 113 times, in 11 languages.

During time, I came to the conclusion to not collaborate with users of low ranks. They have no idea what they're doing and they are looking only for merits and they do very ridiculous translations, using automated translating tools. Usually, I am not collaborating with ranks lower than Full Member. I gave the chance to a few ones with lower ranks and I was very disappointed, thus I rejected their translations.

DYING_S0UL is, perhaps, the only exception, as I collaborated with him since he had only the Member rank. He also made some mistakes at beginning but then he understood my standards and he followed them precisely. I was really impressed by him, as he did all the translations from a phone (!!!), because he does not have a computer. I really don't know how he managed to do them. I was determined after I saw his first translation to never collaborate with him again, as he irritated me a lot when he sent me all the content without any text formatting, without the header which I always ask for etc (now I'm smiling while writing these) -- but after that he corrected everything and all his other translations were exemplary. He followed precisely all my corrective feedback and I can say that I was amazed by the way he acted since then.

And, speaking about my standards, I can say that they are not high, but very high. Those which collaborated with me can confirm this. Look, for example, at all translations of my topics and observe how that header is the same for each translation. For each translation I request a preview before being published. The translator can publish it only after my approval. If he does this in a different manner our collaboration is over. When I inspect the translation I check precisely all text formatting, to match the original. The translators I worked with can confirm how many times I told them to use Italic font here, a comma there, to delete an extra space and so on. All translations of my topics follow precisely the original text format. Regarding the content, in most of occasions I checked it with users natives in the respective languages, which I trusted and / or which collaborated with me previously, thus I knew they could grant if a translation was good or not.

Merit-wise, I sent amounts between 4 and 15 merits for the translations. Most of them received 5 merits. I only awarded more merits to 2 topics of mine which are huge, and only if I was very pleased about the translation and also only if I had sMerits left. Since I am not a Merit Source I could not send bigger amounts for the translations, although I wished I could do it in some cases.

Besides, I translated more than 50 essays, the most important being the official white paper of Bitcoin, which is now posted on bitcoin.org. When I translated topics made by other users I also mentioned to them all the typos and errors I found in their original text, together with some suggestions of mine, including rephrasing of some parts. Practically I offered free proofreading for all the topics I translated. 1miau and fillippone, for example, can confirm that.

What I'm trying to say is that I always took this activity very seriously, either if I was the translator or if someone translated my essays. My zero-tolerance for spam avoided any translation spam generated by my posts.

I hope this post help the other users which want to have their topics translated in foreign languages and also those which are willing to perform translations.

---

You can make a portfolio with your translation, similar to this one. There you'll have all your translations listed and not buried by other posts.

Looks great! Thumb up!

I also have one more suggestion: I believe it would be more adequate to change "Pakistan" with "Urdu" in these sequences:

---

And I'd also like to remind roksana.hee and Latviand that they reserved this translation a long while ago. roksana.hee stated on August 30th that she'll revise her translation, as the first attempt was poor. roksana.hee, do you have any update about the translation?

Latviand, on the other side, reserved on August 24th the Filipino translation, via PM. 1miau, do you think you can ask him through a PM for a heads-up about his progress? It's been almost 3 months since then.

No pressure here, I am just curious of these translations are still in plan or they were abandoned.

Must be either that or what suchmoon said:

---

Yes, Ratimov was determined to ruin all the fun. I was expecting this time to not limit his insults only to my mother but go forward to my father too, perhaps reach also some aunts and uncles of mine.

---

Indeed. Ratimov turned the forum into his personal weapon, for attacking all possible users, especially those which ever dared to speak the truth about him.


I have 2 Russian sources which told me same thing -- that many left the forum because of his aggressivity. You are the third one which says this.


I recommend you to present this topic in Russian local board, thus more people will know that Ratimov was exposed for all miserable things he did and to know as well that he was excluded from DT.

---

LMAO, that was the scammer complaining that another scammer is more agile than him!

I already told him that nobody invited him here. Twice.

---

Yes, the trick is the following: delete all your posts from your topic; delete the OP content as well; move your garbage to Russian local board, where Russian mods act as garbage men. At least they act like Ratimov's personal garbage men. Dunno if someone else can have this honor.
