Excuse me. But how damn unlucky can KingsDen be to be mistakenly connected to one more account per year at this pace? How does this never happen to any of the rest of us? I can not recall ONE single time I have been mistaken for another member in all those years!
You can say that again. I agree that I have been so unlucky but I am not ignorant to why I have been this unlucky. I will not totally say I am unluck because in those cases people also understood and came through for me. I think there are two other accusations you missed out. One RajaKing that was linked to me and another user so.
I have been in two weeks April retreat. I was still focusing to finish the church program, but now I can no longer focus, so I had to excuse the church environment, got a reservation to put myself together.
The reasons I got into much problems are two;
- My welcome post in the forum
- My rapid growth in the forum.
My welcome post:I made this post in two categories; first to encourage the newbie and second to advice the old members.
For the newbie, I believe most of us are sharing in my wish. My wish to become a legend, a legend with so much merits and positive trust. But dreams do not come true without hardwork.
First we must appreciate and accept our newbie status by showing the inclination to learn.
We should learn by keen observations, by reading through the posts of the old members, this will help pattern our attitude in the forum, it will also help us to grow with the norms and ethics of the forum.
By so doing our passion for the forum will be high, it is the passion that creates the way to success.
For the Old members, I will liken the forum to a building from foundation to roofing.
The building at the foundation stage does not make it less building, but it is the stage at which the engineer puts much efforts and expertise. Take the newbie as the foundation, help us grow, for if the foundation is wrongly laid, it will have a significant negative effects at the completion stage.
Congratulations to me for having an account in this forum, I am looking forward to a rapid and sustainable growth with your help.
This post exposed me to danger, because it got a few older members upset but I learnt a lot from it. They either misunderstood the post or it was so early to make such a post. At this point, I received advice from two users; One said I should avoid quoting and replying to legendary members, while the other said I should develop a thick skin.
My Rapid Growth: I can boldly say that I was one of the non-technical newbies that experienced rapid growth in the forum.
The future of Bitcointalk: Low Ranking Top Merit earners in the past 30 daysThis became a disadvantage because my fellow low-ranking members were amazed at my growth and were sending me pm. Some decided to study my posting pattern in order to be like me, but I rather advised them to learn from the Legendary members instead.
Some established members who earlier thought I wasn’t a newbie became confident of their doubt. It was on this premise the then Ratimov mentioned my name.
To clear the air, he didn’t mention me as a member of his 60+ alt farm, he only placed me on the watch list because of my merit count. He later removed my name from his watch list.
The case of Kaggie and RainbowKun If you ask me, I would say we lost good members of the forum because of unnecessary attacks or bullying. The RainbowKun of a guy who was nick named “The Bitcoin Prophet” was on a different level as a newbie. He was writing bitcoin articles that would be suspected in today’s world to be written by AI. He earned so much merits until someone created a thread that suggested that people should stop sending merits to him. It was LoyceV who intervened that no matter how much merits he earned, in as much as he continued to produce quality, people shouldn’t stop meriting him.
Check the profile of both RainbowKun and Kaggie and see their activity to merit ration. But they unfortunately left the forum after much pressure.
PrivacyG, you might not have received these backlashes because you likely grew from the technical side of the forum. I noticed we registered here the same year, but we did not cross much paths in our early forum days.
The case of MagicalKing:There was when Scyptical chemist created a thread for people to pm him for post review. I believed his pm should be flooded then. He created a thread that Myself and MagicalKing sent him pm 2.5 hrs apart by calling him “sir” and using the word “humbly”. I was confused and also felt unlucky because growing up I was taught to use the word “sir” to an adult responsible man. I maintained it in the forum until I was told people don’t like it here. The word humbly is always used in requesting formerly or semi-formerly. Someone applying to receive 50 merits should naturally be humble.
I didn’t know the way about of the MagicalKing because I stopped seeing him around in the forum, maybe he lost interest in the forum.
The GeorgeJohn case: The accusation was as a result of coincidence in reserving a slot in chipmixer campaign. It was BlackHatCoiner that called us out then. I remember that Lovesmafamilies lent her voice then in the matter.
Can I give my opinion on these two accounts?
I am well acquainted with Ratimov's topic of exposing RainbowKun. I can say with confidence that neither one nor the other account belonged to this farm. The RainbowKun farm consisted of persons or persons of Chinese origin, as proven by their plagiarisms translated using Google Translate.
And your suspect accounts belong to the Nigerian section, and it's not surprising to see their mutual support.
I had some connections with each of these two accounts. And as for the similarity of these accounts, I would highly doubt it.
KingsDen from the first days tried to stand out and quickly get a rank, from this we see its "lessons", which, however, all newcomers have been doing lately. His texts are more connected, and more understandable, which cannot be said about the posts of George John. I also often reproached GeorgeJohn for not using punctuation marks. He probably started using them after all.
What more can be said? I'm seeing a lot of support from the Nigerian section, and they might likely be familiar with each other. But I would hardly say that these two accounts belong to the same person.
Side note 1:Some BTT members from the Nigerian local have some whatsApp groups where they share opportunities off and on the forum. Sometimes when a campaign is opened, someone might decide to share the information which could lead to rush in application.
Side note 2:Most Nigerians don’t take privacy seriously. So, when the idea of the forum being a privacy forum occurred to the early users of this forum from Nigeria, they mis-interpreted it for us. So, that made it difficult for a Nigerian to come public and say he introduced someone to the forum. They only come up when there is trouble, which then makes it unbelievable. It was just like a secrete affair, mistaken as privacy.
GeorgeJohn was actually the person that introduced me to this forum. I am grateful to him to the extent that I couldn’t hold it back, I had to let it out when zasad@ asked a related question years back in his
interview. If anyone cares to read, I exposed some percentage of my personal life there.
My Plea: John had been in this forum since 2020, a year before he introduced me. I wasn’t happy that it seemed I was growing more than him, the reason why I was suggesting him to Ratimov. This is his 6th year in the forum but he is yet to hit the legendary rank. It took me far lesser time. John has about 114 merits to hit the legendary rank, if some merit sources can do it for me, I will be very happy.
I have been avoiding to write wall of texts, I am sorry if I had stretched anyone that cares to read to this stage. I value the forum and her members. I had a rough start in the forum but I learnt too many things in this forum. BTT was able to teach me what the university could not teach me. I value and learn from most users here even when I don’t have personal contact with you.
