People should really pay attention to nullius as he's showing everyone how to seriously farm merit points. Lots of sarcastic humor etc along with sucking up to all the right people. The mutual masturbatory merit giving is truly awesome to behold. I bow to your forum trolling skills nullius.
Do you really think that “sucking up” would work with Lauda? You’d wind up with dripping-red distrust from her instead. Either that, or she will turn you into a newt. No, you won’t get better.
Let’s see, what else: A sharp wit is meritorious, yes. It adds to the forum. It is also true, I seem to be adept at inducing smart, interesting people to like me. Some people might call that “earning respect and making friends”. Awesome “forum trolling skills” I’ve got there.
Thanks, Tyrantt. I’m not sure; but I
think that until recently, excluding the famous +50 insult post, my most highly-merited post was
Bitcoin’s Public-Key Security Level. It is now handily beaten by a few others, such as
segvan: Segwit vanity address & bulk address generator; I’ve actually found that high-quality coding of open-source software which people want is the very best “merit-farming” activity.
That’s what my involvement in forum controversy is distracting me from—and my merit score would probably be at least 100 higher, if I weren’t spending time speaking out against outrageous smear campaigns. I think three other good examples are three successive posts I made in a thread pertaining to random number generation (
0,
1,
2).
Why am I not doing it? I have more important things to do in my life than take part in those sorts of things.
So, why are you here in this thread?
Sometimes I'll get involved in technical discussions but finding worthwhile stuff on here has gotten harder and harder. The last one was last year with segwit/big block discussions.
Agreed that the S/N ratio can be bad; but in Dev & Tech, it’s recently become much better. I blame the merit system for the improvement. As for big-blocker nonsense FUD, by the way, it is meritorious to
rip apart anti-Segwit disinformation of the type promulgated by Btrashers, sometimes unfortunately repeated by people who just don’t understand the technical bits.
Vide: Currently, “Merited by Foxpup (7), gmaxwell (3), achow101 (3), AGD (2), HeRetiK (1), CASlO (1), Manfred Macx (1)”.
Did I say all his posts are "trolling"? I think not. His most "noteable" one, was him insulting someone and getting 50 points for it. He certainly does it in style though.
I am indeed proud of that historic forum moment, whereby I became the first and only forum member to get
+50 for an insult, as a shriek from the target of the insult. But if you think that’s my “most ‘notaeble
[sic]’” post, then you haven’t read much of anything that I’ve written. Try it sometime.
He's not really trolling. Trolls never put that much effort into any of their posts and usually cause a big ruckus online. Farming trust? Maybe; I can see that.
That’s some lovely trust I’m farming here:
I'd also like to take this opportunity to say that I'm still not Lauda, never will be, and I hope Quickseller takes time out from gargling his hot dog to notice this, and that he stops accusing me of being Lauda. He has a habit of projecting his heinous alt account habits onto other people.
I can attest that you are not Lauda, because you are neither me nor Satoshi, who are both Lauda.
Now, are we talking about me, or about how
Lauda is a witch who must be burnt at the stake?
Ah, yes. Here’s the witch!
Uhm.. I wonder whether "a
friend of a friend reliable unidentified source" told you that they have a video of me doing voodoo.
No, my
friend of a friend reliable unidentified source told me that you turned him into a newt. Whereas I myself am personally testifying that you cast a magic spell on me, enthralling me and compelling my behaviour in supporting your persecution of the poor, innocent Mr. Quickseller.
BURN THE WITCH!
