Yeah, whatever. If I knew I only had a short time left on this earth, the last thing on my mind would be trying to appease anyone on the internet. I would imagine Leo doesn't agree with the arguments being made here anyhow, so doubtless he doesn't think there's anything to set straight.
His motivation shouldn't be about "appeasing anyone on the Internet", his motivation should be to leave behind a better future for Bitcoin. However, the proof shows that o_e_l_e_o spent the last years of his life intentionally tricking people into forfeiting custody of their Bitcoins and forfeiting their financial history instead, which is a tragically sinister act.
Everyone indeed has somewhat level of stupidity in their closet but making a public display of it is absolutely irresponsible and unnecessary and you have really displayed a great deal of stupidity with all this. I don't know your motive or what you stand to gain with this public display of cruelty and stupidity but trust me, it is totally irrelevant.
My motive is the truth. Do you think the truth is relevant?
If you've got grievances with Leo, rather than coming to a Farewell thread and publicly spitting dung for everyone to see just how full of shit you really are, you could've taken it somewhere else and let out your grievances, no one is saying you should forgive anyone for whatever grievances you've got, but for God's sake have some little conscience. I don't know if you're expecting appraisal for this crap but I'm pretty sure I'm not the one who feels disgusted by what you're doing.
Farewell threads are an appropriate place to leave your grievances with a person. Everyone should know the damage that o_e_l_e_o caused to innocent people before he leaves the forum and they should hold him accountable for it.
Not everyone finds it necessary to engage in frivolous online arguments. And to be honest, there's no shame in that; if I were Leo, I'd rather take a nap all day than come here and attempt to clear things up. Sometimes, it's more valuable to concentrate on living your life than it is to engage in pointless internet disputes with strangers.
If he didn't want to engage in frivolous online arguments, then why did he intentionally lie about innocent open source non custodial privacy projects? You can't falsely accuse people then claim that you don't want to engage after that since the burden of proof is on the accuser.
While I think we're getting a bit off track, but you're the one spreading lies here.
3. When Leo recommended using that centralized mixing service, it was a trusted and respected platform in the community. It was promoted/endorsed by many high-ranking members, not just him, and I've never heard of any legitimate scam accusations against them. I can personally testify that they were a legitimate service, as I have used them on numerous occasions without any issues.
So, while the claim that a centralized mixer service offers comparable or superior privacy to Wasabi can be considered a matter of opinion, it is unfair and inaccurate to label it as an outright lie.
Agreed, a lot of people uses Binance exchange, regardless the fact that it's a centralized exchange, and not only do they use it, they also recommend it to other users because it's trusted and respected, so if Binance happens to go down today, there's no way anyone would be help responsible or blamed for promoting Binance or recommending it to other users. I believe that's just the case here, so that's really not enough proof for anyone to point accusing fingers on Leo, except he'll also call out every other person on the forum that's promoted the same mixer service. Or except maybe there's another reason to why he's taking this whole thing personal.
No, you don't understand, it's a
LITERAL OUTRIGHT LIE. It doesn't matter how much you trust Binance to hold your money because
there is no trust whatsoever required when holding the money yourself.
In exactly the same way this applies to custody of coins, it also applies to custody of data, so it's a
literal lie to say a
trusted mixing site provides better privacy than a
trustless coinjoin.
If you care about the truth, why do you spread lies?
I don't spread lies. Can you back up your accusation with any proof?
There can be many explanations, as we have already discussed this in the CM ANN thread and other related threads. (Have you actually read the whole document posted on justice.gov?) Since FBI agents have been monitoring the site and collecting evidence since 2021, we don't know for sure when they got the private keys or if they were used or unused "chips" at that time. So, it is still possible that CM deleted the used private keys as they claimed, and the FBI could have gotten them beforehand.
But, there's no need to repeat everything here just for your convenience. If you say ChipMixer was a scam, show me the evidence of them stealing people's coins. You claim your accusations are backed up with proof, so let's see it.
And let me repeat, since you obviously dodging the question: You specifically stated "they stole everyone's coins". Was that a lie?
I'm not lying, this scam is also
validated by law enforcement themselves, they admitted to taking control of ChipMixer's coins:
The operation involved U.S. federal law enforcement’s court-authorized seizure of two domains that directed users to the ChipMixer service and one Github account, as well as the German Federal Criminal Police’s (the Bundeskriminalamt) seizure of the ChipMixer back-end servers and more than $46 million in cryptocurrency.
If o_e_l_e_o hadn't tricked these users out of using trustless coinjoins, they would have never been scammed out of their coins or had their data turned over to the government.
Which was obviously bad judgment on your part, because otherwise your post wouldn't have been deleted, and theymos wouldn't have moved the rest of your posts to a separate thread.
Okay, if you want to appeal to authority, let's quote theymos directly:
For everyone looking to improve their privacy, I highly recommend checking out Wasabi, especially over centralized "mixers".
Why do you think o_e_l_e_o backstabbed theymos and told everyone to use centralized mixers instead of Wasabi?
I've taken a small break from the forums. This thread is still seriously going on?
Yes, you still need to answer this:
Have some respect, that person may literally lose his life and here you are whining about what he said in the past. No one cares about your little bitcoin project. You are retarded
I may lose my life too, so why aren't you holding o_e_l_e_o accountable for spreading lies about flaws in untraceable privacy software?
Isn't it proved yet that the guy who created this topic is either extreme-level toxic or just a troll? Why are you guys paying attention to this guy? I do not believe anything that has come from this user. I cannot imagine that Wassabi hired such screwed-minded people to engage with the community. I see several people say that it's not proved that he is officially from Wasabi. Fuck you guys! Wassabi wallet owner aren't going to this forum to confirm that he is their employee. If you believe, good. If not, very good, please stay away and do not bump this thread anymore. There are just friendly advise.
Do you believe theymos?
For everyone looking to improve their privacy, I highly recommend checking out Wasabi, especially over centralized "mixers".
His continued engagement is just keeping the thread active and spreading the word of what a piece of shit he is so there is that. Why do you think I'm a "piece of shit" for telling the truth about how you can keep your Bitcoins safe and data private?
