A nice list, but some of them like Lambchop are trolling from a new sock every week, so the list will need frequent updates.
As I wrote to him yesterday; "it takes 50 seconds to create a new account and only 5 seconds to add it to the list"  I don't mind revising the list several times a day. Until he decides it's not worth it following the same tactics anymore.  |

=snip= Besides, both Stolfi & Varoufakis are Economists (OK Yianis is first a Mathematician and he has my respect just for that); and they may don't want BTC to succeed; because this will render their job obsolete... You are talking about JorgeStolfi, right? His signature: "Academic interest in bitcoin only. Not owner, not trader, very skeptical of its longterm success." I think he is interested in Bitcoin's success. Yes. I was referring to Jorge. I think too he's interested in BTC success (or failure for that matter). Not sure I can explain though, why he spends so much time in here. @Spooderman: I have the same feeling about him; I explained on the above post why I think this is happening. |

Amazing that someone who keeps accusing Jorge of 'strawman' arguments, then proceeds on a massive rant made of hay. Ad people who claim to be 'scientists' saying this is a great comment, can you not see the glaring contradictions, fallacies and errors. It's such a shame that there are so many folks in the world who have been taken in by this 'disruptive' crap -- the reality is not 'democratization' but more concentrated power in the hands of not the rich but the (unelected) elite super-rich. But Jorge pointed this out and then it all went silent -- because everyone who disagrees with the great BTC world view is a troll. Keep banging away boys...the big money is surely round the corner  Mostly sure this account is now hacked. I'm considering adding it to The List. This is sad; really. Nanobrain used to be a great commenter back then in here.  |

This seems like the perfect calm before the storm... Will it be a Monday call? Which way? So many questions; so little answers... Goodnight from Greece. |

If you think and try to reason why all these people come in here trying to disrupt a good idea for a better economic future; there's only one answer coming in mind. That is to gain a piece of the pie. What way? By trying to persuade others that their "solution" is not viable, it's not worth it, it's a Ponzi etc etc. Being in academia I like to think that Stolfi doesn't fall into that category though. I've met many professors that are naive enough to believe that THEIR opinion is the only one which matters, no matter what you will do to convince them otherwise. That's not the way Scientists work. We tend to throw an idea and hope for a sane discussion that either will prove us right or wrong. It works in Physics, Chemistry, Biology even IT. It doesn't seem to be working for Economic Science though. Not to mention I don't count Economics a "science" at all...  Even though I don't read a single word he writes, he does make me wonder. He's an important fella in his field and surely has better things to do than write vast tracts on something he's convinced is out to get us all. Where does the time come from? Ah well. I'm sure he's a delight to sit around a campfire with on Ipanema beach as long as you steer the subject away from that area. He's not the only one you know. Even Yianis (Varoufakis) has the same opinion about BTC. He's convinced that due to its non-inflational properties it will never be able to be what's destined to. You know; maybe they're right; but this project, if you look deeper it incorporates more than one science and -up until now- it proves them wrong! What'll be? I don't know. Neither they do. We humans are rather peculiar with change. We tend to oppose to it; we don't like new stuff messing around with our lives and disrupting our future to a way that (in this case) is unimaginable and probably totally unpredictable. That's the problem. Besides, both Stolfi & Varoufakis are Economists (OK Yianis is first a Mathematician and he has my respect just for that); and they may don't want BTC to succeed; because this will render their job obsolete... |

the trolls on this forums are doing my head.
please tell me stolfi is in there?
He's not directly abusive or overwhelmingly pointless. Quite a few people do engage with him, though I've no idea why. I have had him on ignore for an awful long time though and once I realised he was on Reddit I specifically downloaded an extension purely to ignore him. Not A List candidate in the same way as most of those names though.

No; despite his erroneous and misleading posts, I find him amusing and sometimes (when I have the time) I like responding to him. He's not much of a troll really, I think that in order to prove his points he makes a great effort trying to reason the unreasonable. This alone amuses me... If you want though, you can easily add him to your list... |

XMR is very promising, but I don't know if it can reach this price anytime soon. I really care only about the XMR/BTC price to be honest. I'd never sell any of those for fiat (except if it was an emergency and needed the money). Both are parts of the same equation if you want my opinion. I'd also say that I feel that their chance of success is also linked between them.
If BTC reaches a nice price within the next bubble, XMR will probably follow since it shares very similar (IMHO XMR some even better) characteristics. Again, it's a long shot; but totally feasible within the next 4-year period.

Would that be, like, a centralised standards center? A central point to standardise bitcoin? Wow. That wuold be such an advance for bitcoin, That would be brilliant Nah, he's just a sockpuppet. Dood! Use The List. It's now updated with all the new sockpuppets. |

That would be the best news I've read regarding BTC lately. Maybe we should do the step forward and see what will come out of it. Science has always been a good advisor. Go Bitcoin! GO! |

 Come on u guyz! We can do it! Moon confirmed! Can't believe still some ^moon-talks^ are going on here... I would suggest you to first let BTC get its ground first, moon is far yet... Moon talks are a very fashionable sport among us lunatics... Most of us are long in here. Besides, "imagination is more important than knowledge" - you have first to imagine something, in order to construct it. |

Thanks for the list @macsga.
I'm going to start checking that profiles to decide if it's appropriate (or not) adding them to my bitcointalk ignore list.
They're just sockpuppets accounts or something else?
Mostly sockpuppets and some offensive users there. It's been questioned if they will remain, or if the list will get bigger. Under no circumstances this is a list that will contain only "bears" or "bulls". This list is an effort to contain the spam & insultive posts of certain individuals and I decided to share it with you because it was a common thought into the Wall Observer thread (where is the place they tend to abuse more). Cheers. |

The canon you're claiming is not without its exceptions.
I have never claimed that *all posts made by ad sig users are crap* but simply that *most are*. Although it can always be said to be subjective (in terms of what is "crap") I think that the majority of accounts being banned in the last six months are from ad sig posters which would support my claim (any mods who have the actual stats about which accounts have been banned in the last 6 months please correct me if I am wrong by posting the actual figures). Fair point. I agree. That would be an interesting datasheet to review. Nevertheless, I suspect you're right. Just for the story though, most "serious" ad campaigns check every participant about the "constructive" posts they make and in many cases they reject the members if they fall into the "crap" post category. Again, it's pretty subjective to be honest. |

Sorry newbies, I'm now ignoring all new accounts without reading.
I became trigger happy too. I add them to the list "on sight" but I keep reviewing their posts just in case I'm wrong. |

I am a Software Engineer myself and even I code but yes, for money as my company pays me for the same.
And yet you seriously need to "sell your sig space" for some tiny fractions of BTC? Anyway - the whole point is not the "ad sigs" themselves but the "stupid pointless posts" that are being made in order to "earn that tiny amount of BTC". If you are not making stupid pointless posts then you should have nothing to be concerned about (and no-one is forcing you to ignore anyone). Software Engineer here as well (among other things...). That "tiny fraction of BTC" is (in my case) 0.14 per month for 60 posts. I rarely count, cause I'm posting far more than 100 per month, but let me point out that I do have 3 miners at the moment that earn LESS than what the sig campaign is giving. So it's pretty significant in my case. Plus, that "tiny fraction" is used (in my case) strictly for donations & support to btc projects. The canon you're claiming is not without its exceptions. |

Don't forget to update your Ignore lists. The List is now updated with all the new sockpuppets. Cheers. |

Sorry i did not include i am using a coolermaster 850 W psu and uninstall all and reinstall all had no effect. I logged onto mmorpg and it seems very responsive for gaming.
Did you try any other miners? I'd propose this one: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.0See if it's miner related. If it's not, maybe something is wrong with the CUDA drivers. Try an external uninstaller program to remove completely every old driver there is. Some of them include the registry entries (CUDA will probably be addressing your old registry keys). I'm just guessing here.  Update. I could not figure out how to get a virus free version of the miner you linked. However I can run guiminer and get about 600mh/s not the same crypt but it does function with gpu mining so it leads me to the inevitable fact that it is in the minergate software. Next i tried the same card on an intel asrock z75 pro 3 board with 8 g ram and did a fresh install of windows 7 64 bit. Same problem. Then i took it one step further and tried an Invidia Brand GTX-980 card and got the exact same result. My guess is it is not supporting any of the 900 series cards Some a/v software (ie: Avira) false reports the miner(s) as virii. This is because some people included them into malware that infected computers in order to get them mining for the creator. This is not true. Maybe this is the case with Minergate s/w. Try running it on a fresh installed machine without A/V software. |

^NLC is most of your 'list' whether you know it or nawt.
Oh; can you imagine...! I didn't know... thank you for this, it never crossed my mind.  |

I don't think it will be too long before you experience a margin call.
 The price may rise, it may fall, but seeing other market participants as fools, or seeing movements as inevitable is monumentally stupid. Its stupid to not see that btc "market" is a totally manipulated scam machine for now but ignorance is bliss tho. Not everyone can see the whole picture instead of some pieces being thrown to the community to force them to buy/sell by those who control btc "market". I don't fully disagree with your thoughts. I must add though, that -if everybody believed this- there's a great chance we'd had nothing to talk about in here... Where's NLC? It becomes boring here...
He's forgotten into the oblivion of The List |
