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!

You start a thread on theymos to express appreciation and all you can think to talk about is mixers?

Someone with a bit more brains might have thought to mention his defence of freedom of expression, the exquisite way he deals with complaints, or the ideas he's implemented over the years to improve the forum – such as the merit system or the trust system – but your birdbrain just can’t manage any more than that.

If people need privacy, there are many means that it can be achieved without mixers. Example are the swap exchanges that support privacy coin. But for people that like mixers, mixers that are good make the work done for them. Bitcoin is not a complete privacy coin and that can not change for now or probably also in the future. That makes the mixers to be useful, but why are you calling them spammers as if they are not useful? Or you mean they are scammers?

Well, this was a quick burst of thought topic. But, if I were to give this topic a serious consideration — I certainly could have come up with a long list.

Theymos only took that decision to save this forum and I believe such a decision was important at that time. Because of his decision the other forum became active and now majority of members of this forum are active on that forum as well. I think at that time it was a good decision and even this day because of that decision this forum is on safe end.

It's hard to look into the head and see something there, because the head is not a watermelon. This is probably why we sometimes see such ideas from this account.
OP, I've read your PM, and you're really living in a divorce with your head😰.

I had to search that up, and I agree, I have always been of the same opinion; never knew this was the phrase. Now I know.

Nah. It was lapse.
