Totally unethical & a down right insult to the Redditque. 

[airdata]

how does Reddit work?

[JeffK]

That is against reddit's rules IIRC, and should be reported to higher-up mods

[bitclown]

Well, this is the same guy that initially asked for donations for running his little subreddit, a service provided for free by reddit...

[lemonginger]

LOL.

Thanks for playing, please try again Atlas.

[AtlasONo]

Oh mercy!

So if I'm understanding this correctly, the person with a red username with an [A] next to it saying "Nope. Can't sell a subreddit." in a comment is one of the Reddit admins?

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that Atlas shrugged.

[digigalt]

A Reddit admin already shut him down. No worries.

[Lupus_Yonderboy]

Good thing he doesn't hold the trademark for bitcoin or anything important...

[Anonymous]

I used to be a moderator on reddit bitcoin. I didnt realise I had been removed.

Thanks for telling me.

I was wrong.

[bitplane]

I was wrong.

If you really tried to sell r/bitcoin then you're not only wrong but you're complete scum.

[lemonginger]

Why would you think selling a subreddit site was possibly "right"?

[tysat]

This is why people don't take you seriously and reference your age.

Pretty much all teenagers make a bunch of bad decisions, I know I sure as hell did when I was your age.  I thought I was the shit then too and couldn't make any wrong choices.

As a means to determine an interested owner.

If I cared a little more, I'd go through the effort of dredging up all the libertarian, morality-as-the-guiding-post-of-social-order swill you've spewed on this forum so that you could bake in your hypocrisy. Typical "libertarian" - just a greedy little shithead hiding behind a big word.

I was wrong.

Well, to be fair, I thought I was licensed to trade subreddits as I pleased. The terms of use had nothing to speak of the issue. The proprietors of Reddit spoke and I followed. I didn't act immorally even though I conspired to do so.

In my opinion, I think you can find guys who think they are the shit at any age.

Atlas make social mistakes. Doesn't mean he think he's the shit. If he learn, he will be an alright person.

(Speaking as an aspie who don't always know how to respond correctly to a social situation)

Kiba, how were you diagnosed as suffering from Asperger's syndrome? What's the difference between "high-functioning" case of Asperger's and a socially awkward individual? Can there be the latter without the former?

Well this at least shows greater maturity than 98% of the comments on the forums, no?

Theymos is the new moderator, you can talk to him maybe?

[JonasKohlheim]

Ok guys, please clarify this for me:

How can this Atlas guy try to put a subreddit for sale. What is his part in it? Is he the owner of the subreddit?
Was he the original creator of the subreddit "Bitcoin" and now he tried to sell it now that it has gotten bigger?

I just want to get some clarification on this situation cause I don't really understand.

He was trying to sell moderator privileges over it, which is against the Reddit rules.

[JonasKohlheim]

Lol what an ass  
He didn't had to do shit for it.

[divergenta]

Omg. This boy will never seize to amaze me...
I just wish he could chill the fuck out and stop spamming the forums and please stop doing stupid and weird things like this.

And for all the 78438 projects he intends to start up in the name of liberty, for which he by some unknown reason needs a lot of donations, I don't really have an opinion of.
I think it's kind of great that Atlas is a driven person who has a lot of faith in bitcoin but maybe he should try to finish some of the things he starts?

First of all, your hostility is bad for this forum. This over-aggressiveness towards Atlas is just distasteful and shows insecurity.

Second, advocating violence is worse than being greedy. You, by advocating for government mandates to punish people through force for engaging in non-coercive behavior, are being truly immoral.

[stic.man]

He owned up to it and admitted fault, what else do you want?  Bygones. 

[jackjack]

The guy stupid enough to sell the bitcoin subreddit is also stupid enough to sell it before Bitcoin gain much popularity  

[coingenuity]

Totally unethical & a down right insult to the Redditque. 

Considering that /r/Bitcoin is always dead anyway, it's also a poor investment.

[Lupus_Yonderboy]

I used to be annoyed by Atlas' posts to the point of anger. Now, I simply feel pity for the poor boy. While those of us not blinded by the ideological platitudes he spouts view him as a retarded nephew, due to the sheer volume of his posts many newcomers feel that his views are the prevailing ones around here. This, sadly, inhibits widespread adoption of bitcoin by the other 90+% of the planet that does not subscribe to the Libertarian ideology. Every post he makes further cements in readers' minds that Bitcoin == Libertarianism, and therefore helps assure that there will never be widespread adoption by the mainstream. You know, the people you need to actually make this work.

[molecular]

I was wrong.

Thanks for admitting. And to your defense: I didn't know reddit would disallow selling subreddit control. This is not some a priori fact, is it? Domains can be sold... I'm not questioning reddit's choice, just pointing out it might not be as clear to everyone as it apparently is to some.

[molecular]

Lol what an ass

Just to put things into perspective: A lot of people profit from something more than they "should" (in the mind of some). A good example: early bitcoin miners. Do you think they are all asses?

[libertyzeal]

With all the fucking pyramid scammers and other bullshit things happening in the world of bitcoin, this is nothing more than a hiccup, and props to Atlas for realizing he made an error and admitting so.

[Rassah]

Guys, the fact that he is 17 isn't nearly as important as the fact that he's from Texas. It's a totally different culture, even if it is technically within US territories. Don't get too weirded out by it.
