Alex Green / Ryan Kennedy for People who scam mintpal etc.
Andreas Antopoulos activists

Thanks freedomno1, I've updated 'Hal Finney' and added 'Cypherpunk', 'Alex Green / Ryan Kennedy' and 'Andreas Antopoulos'. If any of these changes or additions are incorrect then please let me know.

I couldn't find shill on the list. People are constantly accusing others of being shills here, especially in the alt section. The term could confuse newbies so it might be worth adding to the list.

It's not like anything changes for the word when it's used to cryptocurrencies.

I did find this very informative & helpful as well,
Quality stuff. Thanks

Thank you for the great thread, yogi.

Could you also add not taken abbreviation: MC for MasterCard? I use it sometimes. 

 

[yogi]

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I'm not sure if sure if either 'Shill' or 'MC' [MasterCard] are bitcoin specific enough to warrant inclusion in the list, but am open minded to the suggestion if others disagree.

[Ganymede]

Shill? You mean like in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shill
If so that can be looked up easily.

MC is payment system, actually "competitor" to BTC. Recently the former tries hard not to connect with the latter, or at least to discourage BTC usage with some very silly ideas. For some reason I often come up to MC, although I would be happy if I did not. 

Try looking up MC.

Terminology is one of the threads that deserves an occasional bump because I see utility in it as a ghost dictionary.
That and after a year or so it's always a good idea to see if someone wants to put in new terms and suggestions to the list as things happen in Bitcoin 

Just one suggestion myself.
Dorian Nakamoto should be its own entry separate from Andreas otherwise keep up the good lurk

This thread should be pinned, or atleast discussed more, it really helps newbies not to create 1000 new threads/day with the same qurstion.

Well done, this thrread was a lot of work, you deserve some donations

Thanks for taking the time with this list. I'm bookmarking it for future reference. Sometimes it gets a little confusing.

[MikeCoin]

Its really helpful for newbie like me. Just trying to learning about crypto currency.

Loads of videos on youtube.

Thanks everyone for the positive comments

I've added 'Dorian Nakamoto' to the list.

[BitcoinBlackjack]

This is excellent thank you very much!

[GeertBerkers]

A long but nice list!

Not sure if you're still maintaining this, but

Bitcointalk: "alt" seems to be commonly used by itself (i.e. not paired with another word like "altcoin") to mean an alt account (btw does anyone know if the full form is "alternative account" or "alternate account"?)

Also requesting "consensus" to be added. Not entirely sure about its definition, but I see the word being used a lot in bitcoin discussions.

Pretty awesome glossary from a wide variety of terms

[Arcteryx]

Just stumbled on to this now.
Wish I had this thread earlier so I could just quickly check the term used in a post instead of asking some one looking like a noob.
This is a good resource for one not too familiar with some of the forum speak.

[Yerm]

The funniest word in cryptocoin terminology must be PPCoin.

lol laughed way to hard at this. great glossary of terms btw ,learned a few things myself.

[SteinsMadScientist]

Wow that was a long read.  Worth it, but long.   Most posts make sense however now i have to use my judgement when I see Proof of stake and piece of shit.  When dealing with alt coins (I'm getting the hang of it already  ) the short form POS appears often.

Great work. Bookmarking this for future use.
