theymos has gone insane again

[turvarya]

BIP 101 is a proposal for modifying Bitcoin. Discussing it is allowed. Promoting the usage of BIP 101 before consensus exists is not allowed.
If Coinbase starts promoting XT to customers directly on coinbase.com, Coinbase will be banned.

I don't know, if this ruling is also active on this forum. That would be really insane, since even known scammers don't get banned.

Wrong forum.

This belongs into to altcoin section or off-topic.

ya.ya.yo!

they are known anyway so i guess people here are always prepared for them.

theymos is playing with fire, FBI is watching him

May he is also on Blockstream payroll.

Nope, it belongs to Meta.

At least he is not on the Coinbase payroll which is definitely a moral plus.

It would belong to meta, if the complaint was about this forum. But the complaint is about reddit.

So imho it still belongs to off-topic or altcoin (because XT is mentioned).

IDK if my post is on topic. But this post is certainly off topic. Meta is to discuss things relating to bitcointalk.org and not things relating to theymos.
Also, from where will theymos ban coinbase if they implement it? From the forum & reddit? That's it?

[turvarya]

C'mon people. Read OP.
There is an implicit question, about how this applies to the forum.

Yes it's most likely active in the forum if it's active on reddit.

To be fair, Theymos has arguably not been entirely sane for some time now.

This has been discussed before. XT is an altcoin, and services that move from Bitcoin to XT are altcoin services. On bitcointalk.org, altcoins and altcoin services belong in the Alt Cryptocurrencies section. On /r/Bitcoin, altcoins and altcoin services aren't allowed.

I'll have no problem if he bans coinbase, i've always thought that coinbase was cancerous to bitcoin

It has been discussed before but not everyone agreed with you, actually the majority of people disagrees with you, mostly on reddit, based on your negative points there, im not saying you are wrong, you know more than me but it does seem like you are a little bit too oversensitive when it comes to XT

Fixed.

The majoritory of people you choose to see or count. Lets not turn this thread into another XT vs non XT shill battle, we know its a hotly debated topic. But as the last 10 threads all ended up, this is a private forum and as such there doesn't need to be a discussion. Theymos isn't doing this because he's financially incentivised to, he's doing it because he truely believes this is the right decision and the way to move forwards.

And as a private forum you can agree or disagree, stay or leave but the decision has been made.

[smoothie]

There is a shit storm on the horizon coming dealing with this whole block size issue.

Very sad the overall community can't come to a consensus and just STFU about it already.

Seriously the bitcoin economy must thrive on drama.

Nerd Drama

Promoting XT and moving to XT is not the same thing.
That would be like banning a service, because they consider moving to another altcoin, even though they are still using Bitcoin.

Theymos has made his position quite clear and, just like any of us, applies that in areas where he has influence and interest, i.e. here and Reddit.

The decentralized nature of Bitcoin is its core strength, but that doesn't mean imo that the whole ecosystem will ever be free of pockets of centralization and self interest. We're humans, after all, and all want our own way/think we know best.

If his approach rankles you sufficiently regarding BCT and Reddit, then swap his parameters for Ver's.

I'm curious about why you feel this way; Coinbase has been my primary exchange for some time now.
