theymos appreciation post

[libert19]

Pre-note: I hope we have been through enough 'break' to not warrant another scolding :sweats:

So, this is appreciation post for theymos as title says. Cause, since theymos banned mixers, they moved to ALTT (ICYDK: https://www.altcoinstalks.com/) to promote themselves which allowed users to have a new source of income, so even if on Bitcointalk BMs don't hire 'em or are sigbanned, they still have another chance to put food on their dining table, or on floor if you eat on floor... on plate of course.

theymos looking for welfare of Bitcointalk users since time immemorial (I understand it was unintended consequence nonetheless I would like to credit theymos).



In case it wasn't obvious,



(der= ALTT)

Then answer is peanuts...they are making their peanuts; peanuts which are nutritious snack by the way, or the meal depends where you come from.

Thanks theymos.

Theymos did the forum a very good thing about mixers, but I do not think you should create another topic for it. You could have posted this on the Mixer restrictions thread.

Mixer restrictions

The other forum was like dead before what theymos did and there are many people on this forum that teleported their account their to earn more bitcoin which is a very good thing.

When mixers were banned in this forum, I was not happy about it then because I felt doing that was at variance with the principles upon which bitcoin was built. I couldn't just accept the fact that censorship was winning but over time I have come to realized that it was the best decision Theymos would have taken as at that time. I may not know what he had to deal with behind the scenes to keep the forum up and running but it was obvious that there was so much attention to this forum following several stolen funds linked to mixers and the only way to douse tension was the decision he took. Although I still want to see mixers back to this forum someday, when it becomes obvious that the forum will be protected. Theymos deserve to be appreciated just like the post says.

I have to wholeheartedly disagree with you here.  That lie was a narrative pushed by people trying to force support for mixers on this website.  There is absolutely nothing about Bitcoin that even hints that you should trust a 3rd party service with your personal information in order to obtain financial privacy.  It is actually the opposite.  If this community wants financial privacy for their Bitcoin, they need to develop it into the software so everyone can enjoy it.  Not limit it to fake privacy for whoever wants to trust a honeypot so spammers can profit.

Oh! It did not occur to me, I am at mercy of my brain to tell me what to do, and in this case it didn't. You make sense though, I could have, now we gonna have topic, because it's posted.

Thanks for not being judgemental!
