When it first happened I considered PMing the others in DT1 and asking them to ~BayAreaCoins to fix the situation,
Lol I am amazed to see this response from you dude.Lets assume if someone is accusing falsely then you simply ask others to ignore or remove him from DT but wont shed some light on the accusation ? particularly when the person accusing is not a newbie or some typical spammer here to earn money.This is hilarious and unexpected.
I saw the feedback, immediately realised it was nothing more than retaliation for my negative comments about his clamdigger fees and/or for me encouraging discussion re. the future of CLAM, and figured everyone else would see it the same way.
It never occurred to me that anyone would take his feedback seriously.
Let's go through it and see if it has any merit as a negative trust feedback. There are 5 paragraphs:
Gave me insider information of Just-Dice reopening with something called Clamcoin that allowed us to acquire a large amount of the "most fairly distributed crypto ever" before pushing it to the ignorant public.
1/5: It's true. I mentioned that I was working on getting the CLAM client ready for use with Just-Dice in the course of a conversation with him. It wasn't a secret. I would have told anyone who asked what I was working on. My work was all published to github in real time for anyone to see anyway.
No telling what percentage of the network was owned by Doog and I alone.
2/5: I could figure it out if anyone cares. I had less than you, but more than most. I don't think anyone would open a dice site that only accepts a currency they have no interest in.
Dooglus is very very smart and you'd never know if he got one over on you generally.
3/5: I'm not sure what to say about this. Is being smart a bad thing?
Ditched Bitcoin Just-Dice because he'd earn more Bitcoins on Just-Dice through shitcoins that he'd corned the market on. Now that there is a BIG digger and doog no longer has a corner on the market... they are pushing for core changes on CLAM to remove digging all together. Stinks to high hell IMO.
4/5: This isn't true. Just-Dice for BTC was making far more than Just-Dice for CLAM has ever made. I switched to CLAM from BTC because I wanted to downsize. Just-Dice for BTC was stupidly huge. I was holding over $60 million worth of BTC in my house at one point, and hated the responsibility of having to look after so much of other people's money. If I was in it for the money wouldn't I have run sites for both BTC and CLAM at the same time? Or maybe just kept the $60 million?
I've never seen any CLAM developer pushing to remove digging. I was attempting to allow an open discussion of possibilities. That seems like a good thing to me, not something to complain about. We ended up putting it to a 'vote' of sorts, and it appears there is no consensus to change anything - and so nothing has been changed.
Dooglus has a very good history of giving people back their coins though I will say that. I saw him return over 60,000 BTC to rightful owners.
5/5: This also seems like a good thing.
So in summary the "negative" feedback appears to consist of:
1. He talks to his friends.
2. The currency he accepts on his dice site is the one he is most interested in.
3. He is smart.
4. He didn't like being responsible for too much of other people's money, and fostered community discussion of ways to improve CLAM.
5. He is honest.
Given this, I don't see how the feedback is "negative", and can only assume the intent was to damage my reputation.
Removing him doesn't Fixes the situation.
It depends how you see "the situation".
The situation as I see it is my reputation goes to zero because of a single 'negative' feedback. He left similar negative feedback for the other CLAM developers too. Removing him from DT2 would fix that situation.
The the main plot in BAC's ratings is just a warning and to be cautious with you, but not to remove you from DT ,you are a scammer,you should be punished etc..But you appear to have an exact opposite behavior by calling him an asshole etc..
I think the main point of his feedback was to damage my reputation because he didn't like that I was trying to have a discussion with the CLAM community about possible reactions to the large CLAM digger.
So when it first happens you simply PM others to remove him but all the clam problems is suddenly equal to shit and all you care is about the ratings...Not Cool dude.
I didn't PM anyone. I just let it slide and figured most other people would see the feedback for what it is.
In short two trolls have been attacking me. Hopefully anyone with a little intelligence can see it for what it is.
How is that an attack when none of them made this thread or any other appeal ? Do you mean the OP is one of their alt's ?
I think leaving someone unjustified negative feedback is an attack. Especially when you see how the forum trust system works. A single 'respected' negative cancels all previous positives.
And QS trolls me all over the place. But let's not give him any more attention than he deserves.
Not to derail thread but can anyone tell me how much default trust you need to get into dft1? Or is it just more of a case of who you know? I havent been able to find anything on how you actually get in.
I have no idea how it worked. I never asked to be added to DT, and didn't even know I had been added for a while. There was no welcome message or anything of the sort.
