Haha Augusto you're a sad little inadequate aren't you? I'm sorry that I humiliated you in a debate to such an extent that you have chosen me as some kind of enemy. If I had known that I would hurt your feelings then I wouldn't have engaged with you. I just didn't think a grown man of 34 years old could be so sensitive.

I'm not sure what is wrong with you. Maybe you haven't had much luck with women in your life. Maybe you don't have the life you hoped you would have at 34. Maybe you are just suffering from general social ineptitude. You clearly have a lot of time on your hands anyway. It's ok Augusto, it's ok. I don't mind. You can take it out on me. I'm a compassionate guy. I don't mind acting as a release valve for someone who is less fortunate than myself. Hate me if it makes you feel better. Smiley

My advice to you would be to let go though. I know that I made you feel small, but life is too short for this nonsense, don't you think? You are getting yourself all worked up about me, doing research into me and posting a big crazy thread, and it's obviously because you are hurting. And you are only hurting yourself more by not letting it go. The type of revenge you are taking is like drinking poison yourself and expecting me to die.

The internet isn't serious business Augusto. The Bitcoin forums do not matter. The thread you have posted is evidence of your own lack of sanity and little else.

Let go. You live in a beautiful country. I have had some incredible times there, so I know myself.  Go out and enjoy life. Relax and open your heart to happiness. Smiley

I rock a Rolex Sea Dweller Deepsea. Not my photo obviously but this is the watch. It's the most water resistant watch in the world, resistant to 3900m under the sea. Which is about 8x deeper than anyone has ever dived, haha.

And I don't even dive. Looks cool though eh?

This is the first good watch I've ever owned. Next off I'm looking for something very different: A Christiaan Van Der Klaauw. He makes these incredible, intricate astronomical timepieces. Check it out: http://www.klaauw.com/en/index_day.php

A little out of my price range for now, especially for the top models. One day though.

I'll be there, and look forward to the surreal experience of being entirely surrounded by people who actually know what Bitcoin is.

Yeah thats going to be weird, my wife still has trouble accepting that I do something legit and it's bitcoin that pays the bills. I think she's expecting the police to show up any moment.

How ironic.

Charlie,

Don't be offended.  You offered the visit.



Just because I'm offering the chance to clear my name doesn't mean I'm not insulted at such a baseless implication.
206  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Find Trendon Shavers in person thread... [BTCST, BTS&T, pirateat40] on: November 04, 2012, 06:58:31 PM
Welcome to the forum.

Actually I've been a member of the forum longer than BCB, AndrewBUD and Pirateat40 too.

No doubt because I have better things to do with my time than rack up thousands of posts on here, I am being treated as if I am "new" and suspicious. Pathetic. You come on here to pass on some information you heard to try and help people, and this is the thanks you get.

Still, I'm more than happy to prove myself in person.


I don't mean to troll, but would Pirate be more than able to hire somebody to take that part?

Haha I'm looking forward to meeting someone who is trying to work out if I am a paid actor or not.

Who in London wants to go to Charlie's office and cross him off our list?
Let me know.

More than happy to take visitors. We can even have a beer and chat Bitcoin. PM me to arrange.
208  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Find Trendon Shavers in person thread... [BTCST, BTS&T, pirateat40] on: November 04, 2012, 05:24:59 PM
Just like you said before.. Pirate is reading this and posting with a new/old account.



Probably not in Thailand.

It's time to crush this bullshit.

Listen to me you slimy, presumptuous little toad: if you are suggesting that I am he, then I can prove to you, and the rest of the community, that I am not him beyond a shadow of a doubt.  Anyone in London can come to my office and meet me, and see that I am definitely, categorically not him.

II absolutely resent this slimy, snide little implication that could ruin my character and my reputation on no evidence, just a little whim of yours. You should think more carefully about your insinuations before you make them. I think you should apologise.

If I have misinterpreted you then I am sorry to jump down your throat, but I take my reputation very seriously, and I am not going to let some idiot associate my name with the biggest fraudster in Bitcoin just because they feel like it.

What exactly is to "pan out"? It's already panned.

You should get in touch with his employer

Patrick someone is calling you out as a scammer in the accusation forum.

If I borrowed 500 coins from someone and then refused to give them back, saying that it's a mining bond now and therefore not a repayable deposit anymore, then I'd get the tag.

If that is really how it went down then so should Harnett.

It's weird the lack of attention that this thread is getting.

Guys, the language is often harsh in this forum. This is scary for the newbies. Can we have more respect for each other?

Go fuck yourself, you cunt.
215  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Find Trendon Shavers in person thread... [BTCST, BTS&T, pirateat40] on: November 03, 2012, 10:59:35 PM
I heard on IRC that Pirateat40 is in Thailand.
216  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammer tag: PatrickHarnett on: November 03, 2012, 10:55:41 PM
Have you told him that you've outed him like this?

Harnett: why aren't you defending yourself?

Admins: When are you going to apply the scammer tag?
217  Other / Meta / Re: [To Theymos] Why was Goat banned? on: November 02, 2012, 02:37:31 PM
Hahaha. Well he didn't get banned before he criticized Theymos on the forums, did he?
And yet a very strong majority of the people who have ever been banned on BitcoinTalk.org have not once criticized a staff member. If I'm understanding you right, that means that we should never ban someone once they criticize one of the staff? Because statistically, only a handful of people have been banned after criticising a staff member out of hundreds of people who have been banned, so you can't say that it's a problem in that sense. Nor are we banning an overly high number of people from the pool of people that criticise us, so that's not an issue, either. So again, you're saying that we just can't ban people period after they criticise the staff because it might be a conflict of interest. So then who does ban them if they do something bad? It can't be another staff member, because you still claim that is a conflict: in both of the recent ban cases (Rarity and Goat), another mod has approved of the ban. So, I guess we give the decision to the people? Well, damn, that doesn't work either, since they both had orange ignore buttons.

So please, tell me, what the hell are we supposed to do in such a situation?

Well, first off I should say that think the moderation policy is pretty good on the forums, generally, and I appreciate the fact that you are listening to me and engaging with me publicly.

I don't think that if someone criticizes a moderator they should be immune from banning.

I think, simply, that if you are going to ban someone you should do it for an objective reason and do it promptly. If Rarity was banned for trolling, then he should have been banned months before he had a chance to criticize Theymos. If Goat was banned for being a general fool, then he should probably have been banned even longer ago.

Their behavior was tolerated for a very long time. It was only punished after they criticized Theymos and his personal business activities. If this is a total coincidence then it is a very strange one. I think most people would agree that this looks suspiciously like corrupt censorship, even if some of them think that Theymos has the right to corruptly censor anyone he chooses.

I would suggest that if you are going to ban someone for trolling or idiocy, don't do it after they have been allowed to get away with it for months. Otherwise you might coincidentally end up banning them for long standing behavior immediately after they have criticized the chief administrator of this forum. And that looks bad.

218  Other / Meta / Re: [To Theymos] Why was Goat banned? on: November 02, 2012, 02:16:56 AM
The subject in discussion is about Goat's banishment, not what you fictionally assume about my character.

I assume nothing about your character. You made it very clear what type of person you are in the above posts where you very plainly state that you are prepared to defend corruption and unfairness.

So, where is your evidence which demonstrates that the user Goat was banned solely because he/she criticized Theymos?

It's impossible to prove that. Only Theymos knows exactly why he banned Goat. If you read my posts carefully you will see that at no point have I asserted that he was definitely banned solely because he criticized Theymos. All I have done is point out a worrying series of coincidences.

Here are the facts:

Goat is an idiot. He has trolled, acted belligerently, lost a lot of investor coins, etc, for the whole time he has been a member.

He was only banned when he criticized Theymos, and not before.

His behavior was suddenly deemed to be intolerable as soon as he began to take issue with the personal dealings of Theymos.

He isn't the only person to suddenly have longstanding behavior deemed intolerable as soon as they criticized the personal dealings of Theymos.

These facts don't prove anything. But they do give me cause for suspicion.

If you want to ignore these facts completely and put all of your faith in Theymos telling the truth about his reasons then it is up to you. Maybe I'm a cynical bastard, but I usually decide what to believe for myself rather than trusting people blindly. If you need irrevocable evidence of a lie before you are prepared to question people's version of the truth, well I suppose you are just a much more naturally trusting person than I am.

To be honest I am not sure why you are still trying to debate me on this issue. You have already said that if Theymos did decide to ban Goat because he criticized his private business dealings then it would be OK with you, so why are you asking me to provide proof? Even if it were possible to prove it, such proof would be greeted with indifference by you.

In an unrelated matter, your understanding of Aristotle on logic seems to be a little flawed. I am glad I got my degree in Philosophy from Oxford rather than wherever you studied it.

This is the funniest thread on these forums.

The ridiculous, convoluted lie was hilarious enough, but then when he went back and changed it to a much more vague lie was the icing on the cake.

I also love his "another forum" and "bitcoin only mac mall" which are never linked to.

The truly sad part is that he actually did manage to scam someone for a reasonable amount of money. Some kid is sitting with his buddies right now smoking free Silk Road weed, telling his epic con-artist story, and thinking he is a fucking genius because he lied his way into some free bud with no consequences, haha.
220  Economy / Scam Accusations / Re: Scammer tag: PatrickHarnett on: November 02, 2012, 12:54:29 AM
If he is genuinely stopping you from withdrawing the 500 plus all accrued interest to date, then that is outrageous.

It's up to him if he wants to change the interest rate and you can take your money back if you don't like the changes (and of course he should inform his investors of the changes) but he can't just change the structure of the investment from withdrawal on demand to a non-liquid mining bond without your consent.

If true then he is a thief. End of story.
