Think of it this way.. If this site and Github vanished with out warning it would be a massive blow.
Or if theymos implemented coin release rules or banned posting scam coins.
If .. this site and Github vanished, it will be replaced immediately by another forum. So yes, you can expect a massive blow for a few days ans then back to normal.
Who controls the Altcoin scene ? The financial institutions. Guys with lots of money in Wall Street, the City, etc. Those guys are expert in making money.
Not quite naive noob.
NOOBS i have heard that before
What makes this place what it is and.. popular.
..is theymos himself and what and how he implemented the features and rules.And then the staff he has etc and how they are.. a balance of rules personalities and features etc.
This place will not be replicated ever.
Cut the crap.
I have heard that before and many have tried.. and all have failed miserably.
Further more if we get into it deeper those two hold a vast wealth of invaluable data.
..which would be gone.
And no, mirrors that exist for Bitcointalk wouldn't matter either.
Hell this forum is an economy all it's own.
I have seen a LOT of slimy loser dipshits claim this is their job and business.
This as in.. this forum.
So those idiots would be out of a business / job.How ? SIG campaigns.. Paypal traders.. Coin dev's etc..
out of work over night.Meanwhile chucklefucks you are govt controlled.theymos said he has called the cops on people before and he is by law required to comply with US govt LEGAL requests.
Like all of the services i already mentioned such as Github or Reddit etc.
You dumb fucks are working for the 3 letter agencies of the USA.
And apparently you are fine with it.Problem is you are shady losers.. all of you.
You don't care that the ideology is raped and left for dead.
theymos does.He has said he supports a better way instead of this forum.. something decentralized instead.
Do you care ?
Fuck no.
And if you don't care then it's not going to happen now is it ?
And shouldn't we have already moved on to non govt controlled centralized exchanges already ?
The answer is yes Investards.. it's been 8 years already.
Consider your stupid little NOOB retort utterly decimated.
Spit shine & polish your crypto-ROI's-charade profiteers
I GOT BITCOINS TO MAKE !
NO TIME TO TALK HODL !
I GOT MA MOUTH TO FEED DAMMIT !
I NEED TO GET PAID !
Hey.. wanna buy some Altcorns ?
You are all gay ass lame pathetic little fucking douche bags spewing bullshit non stop.
and i laugh at you
EDIT:
Proof to back up what i said above..
He has several accounts all banned for ban evasion. It seems that the underlying offense which caused him to initially get into trouble (and often the thing which causes his alts to get noticed) is excessive multi-posting. But when he was warned and/or temporarily banned for this minor thing, he kept evading his bans. This forum cannot operate unless its few rules are followed, so ignoring the warnings and temporary bans that you receive and continuing to do the same stuff is unacceptable. People who do so are not welcome here.
His bans will not automatically expire, and any future alts we see from him will be permabanned. I may manually reconsider his ban if he promises to actually try not to break forum rules. The rules are not meant to silence anyone, but to keep the forum usable and fair. When someone multi-posts excessively, it monopolizes a thread in a way which harms everyone else's ability to communicate. Based on his posts in this thread, I think that he will just continue to break rules if unbanned, so I will not unban him at this time.
bitcointalk.org is not a normal for-profit company. Even if banning iamnotback somehow stopped all future ad revenue, he would still be banned, since his rule-breaking is disrupting the forum's mission of hosting free discussion of Bitcoin and related topics. (As explained above, "free discussion" is not "unmoderated discussion".) Similarly, I would welcome effective competition from decentralized forums, and I would be thrilled to be able to shut down bitcointalk.org in favor of a better-in-all-ways decentralized alternative. But although decentralized forums have existed for a long time (eg. Freenet's FMS is almost exactly what iamnotback keeps describing, and has existed since before Bitcoin), they have unfortunately not been widely used since the era of the semi-decentralized Usenet system, mainly due to vastly inferior usability.
Oh and i feel over all he has done an adequate/good job.
Although i wish he would revamp the rules a bit though.
