Never heard of you, who are you and what did you do that you figured warranted such a...heartfelt...apology.

Same, I've been around for even longer and am still confused. Glad you are back to crypto scene though and I look forward to your contributions!

The scene and the people in it change rapidly.

I've never been any level of celebrity on this forum (nor the scene as a whole) and I'm not expecting "everyone" to know me. I don't know you either so...

The point is, those who do know me (and especially those who might have something to say) will notice the account is active again, hopefully finding their way to this thread eventually.

I was very active in developing things such as backup communication channels for block chain transfer, privacy & security enhancements, taking over several dumped coins and so forth.

I was only away for less than a year, and when I recently came back I noticed that the same general problems still persist; "no block source available" is the most common of them (and I had a cure for that for a while), and it's also still very typical that currency X is still working but there is no maintenance of any kind, no updates even to the most severe security issues etc.

What I will be doing (again) is locating and saving dumped currencies that hold certain kind of potential - or ones that I just happen to like.

I'll also probably end up providing extremely secure and private server space to crypto related projects, although that will have to wait until everything is set up hardware wise. Last time I paid myself to bankruptcy by investing in too high quality connections too early.

Well, then my message wasn't really targeted to you.


Right, not from you.

I was writing to those who do know me and from whom I do have something to apologize.


Well, the question of who I am (and whether or not I even exist) was once much debated on this forum.

The discussion came to a rather conclusive ending, but since you were not around to read it...


No.

I'm still who I said I was: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jyrihovila

I guess the next phase of this discussion requires me to take some photos again. =P

Hit me up for sure!

For the rest of you its the legend Jyri lol

In a nutshell:

1. Who am I and/or do I exist at all? See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=874423.0

2. What I did & what happened:

- I entered the crypto scene at around 2013-2014 and provided different mostly infrastructure related services built on top of the two decades of experience I have of designing and implementing extremely secure and reliable server systems.

- I also got myself mixed up with coin rescue projects, taking over handful of currencies that had been dumped by their original developers. I provided these projects services such as DDoS protected addnode seed servers, compiled new wallets against the latest crypto libraries, set up DDoS protected (and very secure) pools for coins that had no pools available, and so forth.

- I set up an online shop where you could buy some very high quality deluxe products (AudioSolution's speakers, hand made tube amplifiers etc.) using the cryptos I chose to support.

- After supporting several projects out of my own (already quite empty) pocket for a year, and after doing totally ridiculous amounts of work for the crypto scene pro bono at the cost of not having any kind of personal life at all, I just wasn't able to continue any longer. My funds ran out which caused the very carefully set up seed node network, Crypto Shop, the dual fiber Internet connections of my crypto dedicated server room, as well as all other services. I found myself in a situation where there was absolutely nothing I could do.

3. Why I'm considered legendary: Apart from being legendarily difficult to defeat in online discussions, I really don't know. You'll have to ask dopecoindude since I don't really find myself  legendary in any other way except abandoning a record number of already dumped projects after promising to take care of them. To mee that's sucky - not legendary.

Glad to see you are back Jyri! 

what were your transgressions my son?

okay.
that will be 10 POT and 4 STV and a CANN.

Welcome back J!

The way to redemption and salvation is by proof of work. Yaya!
 

=D


Well, it's a different thing to just "build a server" or have two decades of experience of how to do it right.

But you'll see things as you see no matter what I say so I'll just let you ventilate your butt without trying to intervene.


=D again, bud!
