nullius - Where are they now?

[jackg]

You can use tor in regular browsers if it's open in the background. It's a pretty neat workaround you should try it (it's just setting a socks5 proxy to use 127.0.0.1:9050 (a tor data port)). Then you don't have to keep logging in.

Yes I have used it quite often.. but reCAPTCHA still takes time.. just now it took almost 60+ clicks

Would you mind (if possible) giving some instruction. I am really interested to know how to do it. I am using windows 10.

Pretty simple open you TOR browser and check the Network setting SOCKS Host in my case its
SOCK Host: 127.0.0.1 Port: 9150

Tor Browser:


Now open your regular browser preferably Firefox and set the same proxy details

Regular Firefox browser:



That's all your cookies and histories data should be there.

But again this isn't a solution to captcha problem.

The tor browser config bit is done automatically.
You just need to configure Firefox settings only.

@mday, what instructions. I know how to do it I found it on wikihow but don't like that guide anymore.

I don’t know if it has to do with it, but he had a level of knowledge well above the average forum member. And I mean a responsible forum member, not a shitposter-spammer.

I remember the first post I read of him. It was on the bitcoin discussion board and he was replying explaining a technical issue with a post that was like 1.5-word pages long. He was a newbie back then, and I think the merit system hadn’t been implemented yet. I looked at his posting history and he had a few posts but all of them looked alike.

It is sad to say it, but maybe he had too much level for this forum.

I’m not sure if he was a REAL newbie. He seemed far too intelligent, researched & well versed in the blockchain & bitcoin. I think he was/is an alt of an early adopter who is probably still active here.

Just my guess, no offence intended at all nullius if you’re reading.

I checked nullius's profile page and found that the last active day of nullius is April 24, 2018, 11:02:30 PM.
Honestly, the guy appeared as a shooting star in the forum.
As someone said, the account maybe an alt of someone in the forum. It is just a theory, but might be a true one.
I think the guy just wanted to troll spammers that they should stop complaining about merit system, new rank requirements by demonstrating newbies can get hundreds of merits if they can make good contributions to the forum.

[ignateva]

Sad to see such a member going away because of forum policies. We should learn from him, if you master a skill, people will always miss you.

[LogitechMouse]

Maybe he is just busy in his Real Life or he is busy doing something to help in crypto space. Base on his post history, he is above an average member in the forum and his post are way too long and I can't understand some  .

Or maybe he is using an alt account now or maybe he is waiting for his account to go to Hero Member and while waiting, he decided to have some rest and do some works.

[sheenshane]

Or maybe he is using an alt account now or maybe he is waiting for his account to go to Hero Member and while waiting, he decided to have some rest and do some works.

We can't judge him to accuse using alt accounts maybe he has a problem for his real life maybe he got to engage with allia.
But besides on that, he is a good model here in forum doing a good post and share to the community and I am sure probably he has an old account here.

I think the guy just wanted to troll spammers that they should stop complaining about merit system, new rank requirements by demonstrating newbies can get hundreds of merits if they can make good contributions to the forum.

This is also hit in my mind, and now the merit system issues were reduced and he is gone for how many months passed.

Thanks in advance mate.

Sure. Once I have a desktop handy (in a few hours) I'll show you.

I meant the showing how to do it part 

@shahzadafzal it works

My first thought was that he got locked up--I don't have much of a rational reason for thinking that, but he was obviously very smart and knew it, and he strikes me as the type of guy who would thumb his nose at the stupid cops.

If he's not incarcerated, my next guess would be that he just got bored with bitcointalk and moved on.  As I said, he's very bright and articulate and those gifts are wasted on 99% of people here who don't have the literacy level to appreciate them.  True, he got a lot of merit in a very short period of time, which is evidence that at least some of the members here appreciated his writing, but I have no doubt that much of his output few over the heads of the ever-present throng of shitposters--IF they even tried to read what he wrote.

He also could be deceased.  Bad things happen to talented people all the time, but since I don't think anyone here knew him IRL, there's going to be no way of knowing this unless he returns.

I have a strong feeling guess #2 is the correct one.

I wander will he ever come back?

See you in my ignore list, babe.

I've seen nullius posts. He really seems wants to have fun on the forum and maybe you are right that he is not getting what he wants and got bored here. because of how the current forum situation is. Tho whatever that be his lessons were properly distributed and he returns then that will be a start of a new learnings for us.

He's been gone from the forum for a while before, and don't forget he only started posting in December, while he registered in March.
My guess is he'll be back at some point.

[TianaStam]

Very interesting. His identity is same mystery as Satoshi's
There are so many ideas why nullius disappeared, I wander will he ever come back?

[matvee]

I  think he just left as there was no competition for him here in terms of post quality. That causes boredom.

[tmfp]

Yeah, nullius.....

Highly literate posts, both technical and no so but, for me, the alia nexus is most/mildly intriguing.
The nullius account started posting Dec 2017, but really burst into activity in January when the alia account turned up.

They were everywhere for February, the Brangelina of BCT, until alia/she/it/he hubris-combusted and the nullius account stopped posting a few weeks later.
I still reckon it was Craig Wright, or someone who thought they were him.

[coinlocket$]

Do not troll me for what I will write on next lines. Just think at this possibility!

What are the odds that Satoshi and Nullius were the same person?

• They both uses TOR
  

  I'll probably release Satoshi's PMs and logged IPs addresses in ~8 years. This'd probably be of great historical interest. (Though he always used Tor, as far as I can tell.)

• Also very strange coincidence about the mentioned post here
  
  
  This post is only merited 1 time by nullius

• Final quote from wilipedia
  

  Res nullius (lit: nobody's thing) is a Latin term derived from private Roman law whereby res (an object in the legal sense, anything that can be owned, even a slave, but not a subject in law such as a citizen nor land) is not yet the object of rights of any specific subject. Such items are considered ownerless property and are free to be acquired by means of occupatio.[1]

  
  Very similar to the Bitcoin's Idea.

[qwk]

Nullius was a troll.

Trolling the tired, poor, huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse, a.k.a. the plebs of bitcointalk.
Some smart guy thought it'd be fun to set up an intellectual giant against a webforum.
Only to notice that in the end, it wasn't fun at all.

Happens from time to time

[o_e_l_e_o]

Sorry guys - it's all my fault.

I tried and failed to cure his acute newt affliction. Until such a time that I can develop a more potent treatment, I'm keeping him safe as a pet in my lab.

Some say that I am still here.

GASP! Satoshi has returned!

[GazetaBitcoin]

where has our friend gone?
A legend, dissapearing as mysteriously as they appeared to begin with...

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...
