Like Quickseller, even if you're not that active on your main account for some reason I get the feeling Lauda will still be around in one form or another. Please, hilarious, let’s not start the rumour-mill. Do you really want to see Lauda sightings like Elvis Satoshi from now until the next century? (And by the way, if I seem a bit snippish—so sorry, I try to avoid histrionics, but I feel like a big fucking piece of my life just went away. And I am questioning the whole anonymity thing. A person was a significant part of my life, is gone, and—I don’t even have a face to attach to that. I still don’t even know if she’s a “she”. And yeah, I’m fucking drunk. So sue me have lawyers subpoena Tor exit nodes if you object.) The account isn't blocked or banned as of yet at least. You can block messages from everyone as far as I recall. Perhaps Gazeta was mistaken. Eh. My own point was more that she’s made herself as absolutely gone as she can, unless/until theymos brings down the ban hammer on the final nail in the coffin. She torched all of her accounts, revoked all of her keys, blocked PMs, apparently changed her password—I frankly don’t know how she could have been more thorough.
Egyptians, too. She has been everywhere! CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET

It seems that Lauda's account is already blocked. I tried to send her a farewell PM but I received this error: "User 'Lauda' has blocked your personal message.". I doubt she blocked specifically my PMs lol, as we never had any fight. Damn, good catch. I am pretty sure that she didn’t specifically block my PMs, either.  R.I.P., Kitty. :-( * nullius is a void of nothingness... Farewell, Lauda! Be well, be safe and thank you for all your contributions! You are one if the biggest Bitcoin advocates and people like you are rare. Keep the Cypherpunk spirit still alive! I need a drink. To Lauda, in memoriam.

but please do not sow the seeds of what her OP hereby so sought to avoid. This type of speculation could open the way for the scam of a Lauda pretender, in a more subtle way.
Not intended. I know that you mean well. No offence intended, if I came off as brusque. My point was that a subtle scammer could give the impression of being a Lauda alt. No, really—she is gone. She will not be back. A "subtle pretender" is imho not possible. All Bitcoiners know that this kind of claims can be done only and only with (properly) signed message. And I expect that won't ever happen. In this case, it was deliberately made such that a signed message can’t ever happen—even a signed message would not suffice. Lauda declared her keys compromised, issued a PGP revocation certificate, and burnt her bridges behind her as thoroughly as she could. She outright request that people treat her as if she is dead. After that point, do not deal with my account even if it produces messages signed by Bitcoin or PGP keys. If the account logs in, you should assume that it is compromised. If it produces a signed message, you should assume that the keys are compromised. Of course, if Faketoshi appears in a catbat mask and claims to be me, then you should assume that it is a fraud.
Hereby I want to emphasize that it will never again be possible to contact "Lauda", just as it is impossible to contact the dead.
Your assumption was why I made myself clear. It was not meant to be a snide remark, but a succinct response to whether I think before I act. Everybody makes mistakes—including myself, on occasion. Is nobody perfect? Given the elusive and eloquent nature in which we were provided information, it's hard to tell what is meant by compromised PGP keys. There could have been a larger than known data leak or something of that nature.
Why else would it be stated that none of the standard "proof of persona" we normally use are to be considered acceptable. Other speculation aside, I would presume that someone who spent years fighting scams, frauds, and Faketoshi-style nonsense must have wanted to leave no opening whatsoever for abuse of her reputation. A hard-won, well-deserved reputation. I am not the only one who would trust her with virtually unbounded amounts of money! What a valuable reputational target for a Faketoshi scam. She’s dead—well, should be treated as if dead. And that is that. I really don't know, but until there is some action by theymos, I'll keep my support for the flag. I hope that theymos will ban the account, and say so publicly. |

Yes I do, or I wouldn't have done it. Seems pretty clear. I had presumed that you simply hadn’t thought this through, and would be amenable to reasonable discussion and reconsideration—rather than blowing off valid concerns with a snide remark stating the obvious. My mistake. Lauda has a total of three sticky threads in the Beginners & Help forum. To say nothing of all her other helpful threads. Whereas a Type-1 flag is specifically a warning for Newbies (and non-logged-in users), and displays a warning banner accordingly.
My only PGP-key has been compromised and revoked. How did your PGP key get compromised? Spell gone awry, accidentally summoning the wrong daemons? Sadly, methinks all the answers we will ever get are stated in OP here. She is gone already. By the way, just noticed (this wasn’t there before)... Trust summary for Lauda

Dealing with the account is a risk. reading what the account wrote is not. You seriously think that a newbie warning banner on a sticky thread titled, “Newbies - Read before posting” in the Beginners & Help forum is appropriate? What will newbies think when they, um, read that? Or the wallets thread as I mentioned—which is also stickied in Beginners & Help, and damn well deserves to be? Or...? Lauda has a total of three sticky threads in the Beginners & Help forum. To say nothing of all her other helpful threads. Whereas a Type-1 flag is specifically a warning for Newbies (and non-logged-in users), and displays a warning banner accordingly. Please reconsider and withdraw your flag. My own neutral feedback also states the value of some of their previous posts. Wait—so you think that neutral feedback is appropriate, but raised a flag? I issued negative feedback (but left standing my prior positive feedback, for the historical record). I suggest negative trust feedback on the account, with clear wording that it is only effective from today forward.
no option but to leave the forum permanently.
Quite sad. We've barely interacted, but you were on my trust list for obvious reasons. It's a big loss for the forum. Maybe you'll "reincarnate" under another user and continue where you left off (one can hope). It would be still a loss, but at least it'll be temporary, until your voice will be strong enough again. Much though I wish that I could share in that dream, no. Lauda is gone from this forum. She will not be returning. I trust her word, as expressed in OP here. As Lauda’s admitted fan, I respect and appreciate your sentiment; but please do not sow the seeds of what her OP hereby so sought to avoid. This type of speculation could open the way for the scam of a Lauda pretender, in a more subtle way.
Oh, the memories. The first time that I sort of crossed paths with the cat was, of course, in a thread defending Bitcoin from fork attacks. But she apparently did not notice my posts in the thread. Anyone who intentionally tries to deceive newbies that an altcoin is Bitcoin just because it stole the "Bitcoin" name, is an untrustworthy and malicious entity that can't be trusted. Doing something again these scams:
a) Not damaging to anyone (it actually does the opposite).
b) Not hurting freedom of speech (don't mistake acceptance of any kind of scam as a requirement for honoring freedom of speech).
The forum staff must absolutely use more rigorous measures in order to minimize the damage that these "people" try to cause.
I would consider it if it became a widespread, spammy problem, but I don't think that many people are confusing Bitcoin with Bcash on this forum.
That stance is somewhat vague. As I've pointed out to you recently, there are some users who have been intentionally shilling Bcash with new threads in the Bitcoin Discussion sub-forum. Such users should be permanently banned IMO. If someone is fraudulently passing off Bcash as Bitcoin, the most appropriate response is probably to give that person negative trust.
I fully agree. So-called “Bitcoin Cash” is neither Bitcoin, nor cash, in the sense that it has neither the unlinkability nor the fungibility of cash. It and its ilk are also generically different from honest altcoins, which at least have the decency to make their own names. I don’t even know what to properly call it—other than a scam, of course; and anybody who does not realize it’s a scam must be one or more of ill-informed, malicious, or incurably stupid.

Add to this that to exonerate himself of guilt, soniclord would need to prove that he has an IQ not exceeding 75. I think that is the functional requirement for innocently awarding 50 merits as a “test” to a random (pinky-swear! random!) post which just so happened to be in a scamcoin airdrop thread. Well, either severe mental retardation—or a state of insanity, replete with psychotic delusions. There can be no other way for someone to actually do that innocently.

They can turn you into a superstitious nitwit
No more superstitious Infinitely more rational than somebody who has never experienced psychedelics for themselves but label them as "bad" without fully understanding irreparably damaging one’s own abilities of ratiocination with them. Psychedelic drugs aren't addictive —“oh, yes, I can stop forever anytime I want!”— and can be quite educational conducive to detaching oneself from reality, so as to live in a fantasy— if you let them work their magic menticide. Don't knock it until you've tried it intentionally made yourself psychotic and thus, compromised your own judgment to the degree that you should not trust yourself, and others should definitely distrust you. FYFY. Your advice cheap rationalization of your own stupidly self-destructive behaviour is duly filed in “ taken under advisement”. 🗑️
Who the fuck would be sufficiently moronic to believe the opinion of somebody who has used hallucinogenic substances, on the subject of hallucinogenic substances? (No, wait. Don’t answer that. Robots, faster—please!) |

I have spoken privately to people who said that Lauda opened their eyes to what was really going on in the fork wars. For my part, it was not Lauda’s uncompromising Bitcoin advocacy that got me into the Bitcoin camp: Rather, it got me into the Lauda camp; for it is something that I respect. Goodbye Lauda, I never got a chance to know you better, only saw the countless accusations and attacks when ever I visited the reputation board. No doubts you'll be missed, at least the trolls will have less reasons to spam the forum with their threads picking on you hoping to get your attention. You have contributed your part to the growth of the forum and forever will be in our hearts. If you don’t get attacked by bad people, it means that you are not doing anything right! |

I request that DT oppose this flag. Thanks. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=trust;flag=2398As I stated in the relevant topic, to which further discussion should be directed: I don’t think that it is right, productive, or at all appropriate to place a big warning banner on all of Lauda’s old threads, such as the famous wallet thread and stickied rules threads (!). Whoever was behind the Lauda account was and is trustworthy—only, no longer connected to the account, as of today. That is why I red-tagged the account with negative feedback, and a statement explicitly beginning, “Starting with the date of this feedback...” (And I was the first to tag the account.) I considered raising a flag myself, then rejected the idea; and I have opposed your flag. |

I always loved shrooms in unoccupied nature and LSD too Drugs tell no truths. They do not “expand” consciousness, but dissolve it. They can turn you into a superstitious nitwit, with voluntarily self-inflicted mental retardation plus schizophrenia. That is all.
Don’t get me wrong. Self-harm and suicide are absolute rights, abrogated only by the worst of slave states. The solution to drug abuse is to give users more drugs; it is cleansing, and even eugenic. ...self-limiting problem...

I just want to let you know that I'd be too bored to shoot with single-shot rifles. But as soon as you had a real machine gun in your hand, let us know!
This may come as a surprise to you, but a wide variety of repeating firearms that are not fully automatic, and that require a separate trigger pull for each shot, exist. Correct me if I’m mistaken, but isn’t that something like approximately exactly just about all semiautomatic firearms manufactured for the U.S. civilian market? suitable for rapid fire
What exactly constitutes "rapid fire"? By most definitions I've heard, I've rapid-fired a bolt-action rifle (it's all in the wrist). The definition is evidently, “sounds scary”. Like an assault machine rifle gun with an imaginary bump stock. And I don't rightly understand what your problem is with the 1000 round case of ammo; I can only assume you've never actually fired a gun before and haven't the faintest idea how quickly you can burn through hundreds or even thousands of rounds during target practice even with a single-shot rifle. The problem: He is spouting anti-gunner talking points disconnected from reality, and you are trying to educate him. How inconvenient.
You don't need balls to tag theymos, I'm pretty sure he won't censor it, and he won't ban you for it. Several users have left him negative feedback already. Theymos believes in freedom of expression, and acts that way too. Oh, I know that. It just seems like the next logical stage in a quixotic public meltdown, after the grand declarations about “the entire forum has to be closed” and “the worldwide authorities”, etc., etc. And what with the thousand-round ammo case of red paintballs that Trade Runner has been shooting, it would be downright insulting to theymos to leave him out. Thanks! |

So, how was lunch with Sarah Brady? I am pretty sure that in your fantasy, you can turn a water pistol into a machine gun by accessorizing it with enough real or imaginary high-capacity magazines, bump stocks, trigger cranks, flash suppressors, bayonet lugs, and I guess—um, pistol grips. (And given the buzzword learning curve shown by your posts, either you have spent all day trying to read up on guns, or you are getting propaganda protips.)Furthermore, according to the legal text, an offensive or aggressive purpose is given if loaded magazines are “in the immediate vicinity of the machine gun”. So, your legal interpretation is that a machine gun has an “offensive or aggressive purpose” unless it is kept unloaded at all times. Eh. Irrelevant to non-machine-guns. Anyway, for once, excessive talk about guns is actually boring me. More fascinating: When will the forum be shut down? And when will you properly warn forum users that theymos is running a “#scam #terrorism [...] marketplace for weapon dealers, fraudsters and cyberstalkers!”? Surely, you want to inform innocent people so that they can come clean and get out before the police swoop in at your behest! P.S., your Firefox needs updating. HTH, HAND. |

Since you clearly know nothing about firearms, I'll translate it for you. "Firing device" means the trigger, and "single function" means you press said trigger only once. Thus a machine gun is a gun which fires many bullets just be holding down the trigger, which corresponds to the layman's definition of a machine gun. [...] But possession or use of a machine gun for sporting purposes ("sporting" merely being an archaic word for "fun") is A-OK. No, really, it is: while machine guns are subject to greater restrictions than other firearms, they're not actually illegal to own in the US. [...] Now we come to the nice weapon deals BayAreaCoins is offering here. Which, of course, renders the above discussion completely moot, because none of those are machine guns. Those are all semi-automatic firearms (two pistols and three rifles) requiring a separate trigger pull for each shot.As one can see all the guns are kept loaded (which is not good for the magazine springs, by the way):
Leaving aside the fact that in one of those pictures, two of the rifles don't even have magazines, those pictures say nothing about how those firearms are stored long-term when not in use. Briefly loading a firearm for purpose of taking a picture of it in loaded condition or even (gasp!) shooting it does not harm the magazines. (Even when a firearm needs to be stored fully loaded for defensive purposes, the magazines can be rotated regularly to mitigate spring fatigue.) Thanks for taking the time to fill in for Mr Runner most of the salutary lesson that I stopped writing when I suddenly almost fell out of my chair laughing so feared that we will soon not have a forum for these discussions, I went off to cry in a corner. :'-('''' I just put aside what I was writing. I need to go make popcorn. |

I'm assuming that the user has me on ignore... Just if someone cud ask him/her/it not to jump to conclusions... Doesn't really behove of someone who is on DT... ::) No, I do not have you on ignore. I misread skimming down on the preview page while my post was repeatedly pre-empted, and I was also trying to do something else. I make mistakes, too, for which in this case I duly apologize—much though I dislike you, what I said was in error. Before you posted (check timestamps), I deleted what I had written, and sent you a merit for evidence of an ability to read that seems rare around here: As we can see nullius thinks that Bitcointalk would be a windmill. He also thinks that you are Don Quixote. |

For the record, Trade Runner has issued negative trust feedback to Foxpup for having having sent me merit on this thread. Trust summary for Trade RunnerSent feedback| Foxpup | 2020-10-17 | Reference | Sending even merits for continuous cyber harassment and for weapon dealers and their supporters on Bitcointalk |
The feedback is similar to what Trade Runner sent LoyceV for having sent merit to BayAreaCoins. Protip: If you are so dead wrong that you manage to get me, suchmoon, nutildah, Timelord, Foxpup, Loyce, BayAreaCoins, and others all on approximately the same side, it is a spectacular achievment—in the sense of “making a spectacle of yourself”.
A Curious OmissionTrade Runner, while you are busy getting the forum deplatformed, why don’t you issue negative trust feedback to theymos? I know that if I sincerely believed that this forum was being run as a criminal terrorist darkweb site, I would have the balls to tag theymos. Indeed, in that case, I would even flag him: Supporting heinous criminal activity and international terrorist arms trafficking is a “concrete red flag” for a “high risk of losing money”. Are you a hypocrite, or a coward, or both?
I wish that Lauda were more active lately. She would know how to save the forum from this existential threat. :-( |
