nullius - Where are they now?

[LoyceV]

nullius is gone again.

Maybe he's a sailor, or in active military service. He loves his privacy, so we can only guess. Considering he's been gone for a long time before, I don't necessarily expect it to be related to the pandemic.

I truly hope it is not related to pandemic but, unlike the previous time, now a pandemic exists. And yes, I know he disappeared once more from the forum, but what really worries me is that he also did not reply to my email...

Also, as a curiosity, I observed that more and more reputable members disappear lately... ICOEthics, TMAN, nullius are just a few examples. Lauda is also offline since June 28th...

Another user in the list is Piggy. TheBeardedBaby has a thread for list of inactive users but I can not find it for now.

Found: Top 1000 merit receivers who were not active the past 30 days. I can not find it with his topic page because previously I used a bad keyword (inactive).

I checked the the topic, but I encountered another strange thing: nullius is not listed there, although he has more than 1000 merits and although he is missing for more than a month. But the topic wasn't updated since June 15th and maybe that's the reason for not mentioning him... Anyway, I don't know if that topic could help us find him. After all  he has his own disappearence thread

[Timelord2067]

Almost 2 years later, nullius is gone again. He was last seen online on May 25th, 2020. But now, considering the pandemic world context, I am very worried about him. If anyone has any information about him, is more than welcomed to post here a few words. I PMed and emailed him a while ago, but so far I didn't receive any reply from him...

You'd be about the only one worried.

The writing is on the wall:



Not sure if @mindrust was testing the waters to see how their own DT chances would go if they stopped trusting @nullius, or, whether or not they intended to switch from trust to distrust of nullius but messed up the tilde.

nullius would be (an assumed) DT1 (-5) if still on DT1 down from (an assumed) DT1 (-3) when they woke up on the first of January this year.

If it was a sold, or hacked account whoever was in the seat certinally drove that UID account off a cliff.


OTOH - it'd be worth following up where the ~900 merits came from (and where the corresponding ~450 merits went to):

846 merits in just under six months of posts. - It may not be about the default trust, rather where did the merits go? (or come from for that matter??) (I'd wager Cobalt9317 will come back to life soon enough)

If it was a sold, or hacked account

I think it's pretty safe to say this didn't happen:

• Considering his love for privacy, I'm pretty sure nullius can keep his account secure so it didn't get hacked.
• If the account was sold, the buyer clearly is smart enough to earn Merit on his own, so he could have built his own account from scratch.
• Nullius didn't join any paid signature, which he could easily have done to monetize the account. Hacking or buying an account to make quality posts without earning from it would be dumb, and the person behind the account doesn't strike me as dumb.
• The pattern of posting a lot, then disappearing for a while, is consistent with nullius' post history.

TL;DR: nullius' account is not hacked nor sold.

[GazetaBitcoin]

I was going to write something similar, but you were faster

Excepting all the aspects mentioned by LoyceV, let's also not forget that nullius was using PGP and he signed several messages (before and also after his first disappearence) in order to prove that he is indeed in control of the account. You can see this here.

I'm not sure what Timelord intended to show with that Bpip screenshot, but it's obvious he is wrong. But this is his nature: to see absurd things when it's not the case. Let's not forget when he accused suchmoon for posting in Offtopic "just to obtain 6$ more from Chipmixer", while Chipmixer's campaign rules clearly state that posts in Offtopic are not counted. But that's another story.

[NotATether]

There's nothing to worry about. He did say he doesn't intend to leave again. And here he also requests us to demand verification from him in his PGP thread if he leave it inactive like this and he suddenly starts posting:

I may soon be gone for a few days here and t here.  If so, I will catch up when I return; don’t worry, I do not intend to disappear again!

If my forum account has posted recently, and significantly more than a month has passed since this thread was refreshed with a new PGP-signed, OTS-timestamped message containing verifiably recent information, then you should demand a fresh statement consistent in its evidentiary strength with the statements that I have previously provided.  Be very suspicious if the demand is refused or ignored.

In fact these days I should be worrying more about myself instead of him.

• Nullius didn't join any paid signature, which he could easily have done to monetize the account. Hacking or buying an account to make quality posts without earning from it would be dumb, and the person behind the account doesn't strike me as dumb.

Actually he's wearing a paid Yolodice ad right now, But if someone ever hacks it and attempts to join another campaign, we would easily notice it's not him.

[LoyceV]

Actually he's wearing a paid Yolodice ad right now

I didn't know this, but you're right. However, I expect a referral link to earn less than a signature campaign. Unless he catches a rare whale who wagers a lot.

Perhaps that's the plan.

In any event, quickseller made a remark that nullius had "moved on" and I posted that comment on their trust wall feedback as a neutral comment.  The first thing they did when they came back was to give me distrust and demanded I remove that innocuous neutral comment.  (then worsened their own trust scores and left again).

nullius is engaging in default trust abuse plain and simple.

From a statistical perspective, nullius just looks like another user that was hungry for DT power and moved on once they became distrusted. There's a couple other cases like this; otto_diesel and mosprognoz. For this reason, I doubt they'll return again, but could be wrong. (They were DT2 for a while, but blew it).

He always struck me as a well-read, but unimpressive 14 year old.  He often made posts about shit he doesn't understand, hiding his ignorance with a combination of misplaced confidence and mastery of the English language.  If you miss nullius go register at Quara.com, it's full of pompous pimple farms just like him.

All these statements sound just like pure envy. And I believe it is pure envy. What else to expect towards a top merited user, which is probably the only one which has more merits than his posts number? What else to expect towards a member which is certainly the only one which reached the merits treshold for Hero rank in 27 days?

Starting with 17 merits awarded to some of my old Jr. Member posts by people who remember them, I reached the Hero threshold of 500 merits within 27 days, 8 hours, 16 minutes, 22 seconds of active posting.  All in all, from the moment that theymos announced the merit system, it took me 32 days, 9 hours, 14 minutes, 51 seconds to go from zero to Hero

What else to expect towards a member which reached the merits for being Legendary while he was just a Full Member?

What else to expect towards someone which knows cryptography and code more than a half of this forum combined?

What else to expect towards a true Bitcoin advocate?

He often made posts about shit he doesn't understand

Do you have any reference for this allegation?

[DireWolfM14]

Do you have any reference for this allegation?

Yes, here's a perfect example of him using big words and walls of text to feign a highly developed and impressive intellect.  While the premise of his argument starts out about anarchy, what he actually describes is far from it.  I'ts almost like he doesn't know the meaning of the word, but he must, mustn't he?  His waffling about the word, and vacillations in logic are actually kind of pedestrian, and mostly just drivel to fill out what initially looks like a well thought-out and contributory post, but is actually nothing but a shit post (in my opinion.)

You're welcome to think of me as envious of his ability to earn merit, as I'm welcome to consider you wrong in that assessment.  I would expect some members to come to his defense, especially the ones who showered him with merit.

[LoyceV]

He always struck me as a well-read, but unimpressive 14 year old.

That's not the impression I got, but even if it's true, I'd welcome such members over the usual spammers any time!

So maybe nullius is grounded and lost his internet privileges

The walls of text were a bit too much though, I don't have the time to read them.

I agree, even I have experienced the same level of immaturity in most or all of his posts which only aimed to attract noob user's to believe in his conspiracy and as @dragonvslinux said, mostly directed towards power hunger of DT. He had/has no logic over any reputation matters, if you check his realted posts, one can notice him trying to ramble his or Lauda's aganda in such important reputation threads with his unwanted, unwelcomed and deceptive walls of text which don't lead to any conclusions at all. He even started a perm ban appel thread against me even knowing I was already banned from wearing signature for 2 years, which shows his childish and illogical attitude take us to no conclusions. Such highly egotastic people should be avoided at most.

My first impression was that nullius was a genius "Bitcoiner", I enjoyed his techincal posts and I did learn some great stuff from him, somewhere down the line he made a 180 degree change in the content he provides to the forum, he went from that tech-savvy member to a repuation-addicted member, he got himself involved in all the mess of forum trust issues. So if he ever comes back, I hope he goes back to development & technical discussion, the place where he performs best.

   Gave me a legit lol.  I remember when I would get grounded from AOL. Was brutal! I think Tman got grounded as well, only logical answer to these mysteries.

 Despite being a bit mixed up with drama at times, it's nice to have a legit Mr Robot like him around. I think it's fair to say he's obviously one of the most talented programmers/pc techs on the forum and with so many morons spewing nonsense here (like w/all forums) it's good to have experts like him around to help balance that out. Can live with some drama..I would love it if Nick Szabo, arguably the most brilliant mind in crypto, was active here, despite the fact that Nullius being "over the top" pales in comparison to Szabo.  Just my 2 satoshis.

His talents are indeed better used on technical subjects.

Makes me wonder what satoshi did to get grounded for 10 years
