Looking at his past posts, he's about as bright as a burned out light bulb.

Why do you care what he writes infers?

I was just reading that thread; I guess more of a statement as there is no room for reply. Reminds me of the good old scam Ads, that don't want an objective conversation to take place. I honestly assumed you had just Neg'd him or something was going on behind the scenes.

I'd say you are starting to draw the ire of anyone who doesn't like a balanced, and well thought out approach to dealing with their ravings.

Not sure if you have a reputation thread, like some DT members, so I'll say my piece here in regards to you and the statements made.

Who cares what level of math you could solve, in the context of this forum and how you use it. That has no bearing on your ability to actively participate in the community as a productive member. Apart from that I'd like to say I've been reading a lot of your posts recently where you weigh in or offer another point of view to charged situations. I think you have done a great job of approaching each of them in a reasonable way by looking at both sides of the dispute.

Finally, good job not overreacting with the trust system. I write this because I disagree with people being Neg'd for their comments, no matter how stupid or childish.

I know this will probably just be used as fodder for anyone without a real argument, but my sig doesn't change my behavior or opinions.

Edit: I walked away before posting and I can't stop laughing at marlboroza's post. Good stuff

Sweet jeezum, what has this world come to?  This is why I rarely go outdoors anymore.

In any case, perhaps it's my own insecurity about my severe lack of knowledge of blockchain tech that caused my defensiveness here, and for all the math I've studied--which is probably a fraction of what a lot of members here studied--I never used it professionally and have gotten rusty.  So rusty, in fact, that I'm now doubting whether I really would be able to pass a college-entrance math test.  Mathematics never came easily to me, though once I got past first-year calculus a lot of it started making sense and I was an able chemistry student.

That's more than probably any of you wanted to know about me.  I would like to state, however, that even though my knowledge of the math of cryptocurrency is abysmal, I am still able to understand how useful such a thing can be and how revolutionary it is.  I was never good at fixing cars, either, but I can appreciate how valuable having one is and how much good they've done for the world, and I can certainly still doff my hat to mechanics and engineers for their knowledge of automobiles--just like I do to those math/crypto/tech nerds who really know what they're talking about when they speak of crypto. 

Thank you for the kind words.  I could be gone from DT by tomorrow morning for all I know, but while I'm on the list I don't think it's a good thing to leave negs for petty reasons, and I don't think I've yet done so.  There might be disagreement about some of the negs I've left, but I haven't left any because I personally don't like someone, and there's usually a reference link attached with the red trust I've handed out.

Dig Bicks has problems with sanity in general so I would be more concerned if he didn't have a problem with TP, whom I consider one of the most sane and level-headed people here.

It's like when Quicksy says that you can't be trusted.

The whole point of bitcoin is to be universal. Although it's a bonus if you can, you don't need to be able to explain or even really understand cryptographic hash functions to use bitcoin. If bitcoin is ever going to become a truly widespread/global currency, then you can bet >99% of its user won't know what SHA-256 is. Dig Bicks' holier-than-thou attitude is at odds with entire point of bitcoin.

Similarly, in-depth mathematical knowledge does not necessarily make you a good forum member, and being a good forum member is not dependent upon said knowledge. The fact is that your posts are far more valuable and interesting to read than his spamming/trolling. Calling someone out in a new topic and then immediately locking it so the person cannot respond is the height of cowardice.

It has come to a real place . Everyone will pay for what he/she has done . Karma never leaves anyone . If you do something wrong then get ready to pay for it . Without investigating a case people start judging others , this is insane like what you are experiencing now . Next time you should remember this before blatantly commenting or abusing someone's reputation .

Each to their own. There are posts which are both technical and interesting. There are posts which are non-technical and interesting. There are also users like this guy who makes technical/math based posts, but I find completely uninteresting because he is a self-righteous troll.



I mean, I obviously agree with you there. There is a certain baseline level of knowledge that is required to be safe, but knowing what your private keys are and how to store them is sufficient. As I said, although it is good if you do, you certainly don't need to understand how private keys are generated to be able to use crypto safely.


I am aware I am going way off topic here. My point is that crypto, and by extension, this forum, should be open to all regardless of mathematical education (provided you are not scamming, spamming, trolling, etc).

lol Noo I wasn't hinting at you at all! I'm pretty sure one doesn't simply get accepted into the ChipMixer signature campaign without knowing what a private key is. Segwit addy requirement.

Damn! I've just discovered a goldmine right there! He seems like an intellectual entertaining troll.

No there are some people like you who are ass-lickers . Now many of them are going down with a shit reputation . I wonder why you guys are still alive . You don't even deserve hell .


This was actually a joke  .
