Peter R. Rizun "Peter_tRoll" is a charlatan of the highest degree. I don't remember who first called him that but it's extremely accurate. Charlatan.
A few days ago I was checking the new posts to /r/Bitcoin and witnessed yet another charade of his. He gives an interesting account of it in the XTard sub, and it was top of the sub yesterday which is laughable in itself but nothing remarkable these days (
https://www.reddit.com/r/bitcoinxt/comments/3osthv/an_example_of_moderator_subjectivity_in_the/ ).
So Peter_tRoll, by his own admission, reposted his laughable pie chart with made up numbers to /r/Bitcoin to test the moderators.
Last time he posted that particular piece of nonsense - 10 days prior - he was notified of a number of innacuracies even in the "present" part of the made up future scenario, such as the actual existence of real different implementations that are not 99.9% the same as Core, and also de existence of forks much earlier than XT and with much more actual work done in them such as Luke's LJR node which was brigaded by XTards yesterday by the way (
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3ou5rj/bitcoin_ljr_version_0111ljr20150921_released/ ).
So he pretended to take note of all that and the disclaimers he should make about this made up scenario, even by fellow Ledger member Andrew Miller who must be astonished about the complete charlatan they've given a platform, and then ignores all that and posts the same thing, knowingly spreading lies in the /r/Bitcoin queue.
The man just doesn't realise of the seriousness of spreading complete lies knowingly using his increasingly endangered reputation as someone who has presented in the Montreal Scalability conference (and made a fool of himself towards the end of his presentation) and also published a the "fee market" pdf that did the rounds in the net.
To top that off, he claims not to have announced his post in separate channels to brigade the post (however Reddit generally doesn't police that so far as the links don't originate from Reddit) so he was in the FP within a couple minutes with something like 10 immediate upvotes.
According to this charlatan, the mods shouldn't stop blatant lies and manipulation like that, because hey it got upvoted, or else they are biased against a certain school of thought.
Assuming that indeed he didn't announce it elsewhere - which I doubt, the amount of votes in a quiet period is suspect - and also note he specified "links", not just telling people in some IRC channel or elsewhere that he had posted something - it still is intentionally misguiding.
This comment in their sub which is downvoted out of sight explains the exchange:
These are the usual antics of this pseudo-scientific troll.
One of his favourite tricks is admitting to an "inaccuracy" to proceed and not correct it, then after a few days bring the exact same "mistake" again. This way he pretends to save face in front of the public when confronted about his lies with overwhelming arguments, but he goes on his merry way lying as soon as the confrontation is over.
He does that all the time.
Possibly the deepest of the lies is when he claims to acknowledge that the scenario he presents in his cap-less fee market pushes towards pooling down to a single central pool, yet in every occassion he chooses not to mention that or does it in intentionally obscured ways, without recognizing this is a problem (it's a problem however when these pools "dangerously centralised" don't vote his way, in separate arguments).
As 110101002 succintly explains, he answers questions when it benefits him and deflects when it doesn't, politician style. He has this in common with Hearndresen.
This Peter R appears to be from an elite class of pseudo-scientist trolls. We should just ignore his gibberish and avoid wasting time arguing with him. If one argues with fools, one might end up down at their level.
The problem with that is that this particular troll still has some weight in the community and some platform (not the XT motley crew, they are few and far between, but wait for him to use Ledger for his political tirades, this is nailed to happen).
So we have to deal with him.
