The Official Blacklist of Entities Operating in the Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency Space

[Gleb Gamow]

*facepalm* >_<

Apologies for being confused, for I thought you were talking about me, but still not sure at second thought you were in reference to SLok.

[Bicknellski]

Thank you for putting BlackArrow on there.  Definitely a company that deserves it.  keep up the good work Bruno.

Your welcome, bud. This list is just getting started and could easily be a full time job.

In re. Bruce/bcp18, show me a website/Linkedin page, then I'll be able to justify adding him in the OP and on the official site.

Oh really.

LoL. You have already posted 100s of times on that fact.

You know where exactly those posts are for him trying to get a bet on shipping of BFL products.

Proofs right there and you read those very posts once before.

[Unacceptable]

Don't forget our ole pal Yifu Gou & Nzang & the folks at Avalon

Wow,gonna be a BIG list!!!!!!!!!!!!

Q: What do you call 30 attorneys at the bottom of the ocean?

A: A good start.

(not to knock too much on attorneys, as there are a few in the business - too few)

Good start on the list Bruno. I'd suggest having it in two sections: 1) individuals; 2) company/organization. That will make searching through the list easier as it gets inevitably longer.

I'll organize as such in the OP, with it being more detailed on the website.

I'm goin' ask BFL if they'll give me an endowment from their BDF to jumpstart it.

I have no problem with including them on the list if such is warranted. Would a couple more bitcoiners mind expressing such to get me off the fence? I'd appreciate it.

The following entities operating in the Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency space are not to be trusted one iota...

We Use Coins

What'd they do?

They are own by Butterfly Lab Inc., hence shouldn't be trusted. In fact, they'll be going into receivership soon since BFL forgot to mention to the FTC that they own it.

Hitler was a bad guy, and those closely aligned with Hitler were dubbed bad guys.

BFL, et al., are bad guys and if you're closely aligned with any of its principals, you're labeled a bad guy since you've opted to not distance yourself from them.

Same true for every bad actor occupying the cryptocurrency space.

That said, list names of bad actors. Also, list names of only venerable entities.

Bitmain (antminers) has been good, but looks like they may have taken a page out of the Sonny and "K" of "KnC" playbook on how to make money when your customers don't. Hopefully Bitmain will realize that customers buying mining equipment generally expect to make a return on investment, meaning something better than the equipment just paying for itself and operating costs. Running a money pit isn't done for fun and isn't a hobby either. No problem with mining equipment manufactures making a profit as they have to in order to stay in business. However the manufacturer shouldn't be the only one in the equation making a profit. </soapbox>

I've been keeping an eye on Bitmain, and at this penning I can't easily justify putting them on either list, albeit sometime after the roll out of the website, I'm sure they'll fit comfortably in one of the categories if they continue to swing toward the dark side.

At the other end of the extreme, here's a list of highly trusted entities operating in the cryptocurrency space.

Overstock.com is highly trusted and has a great ceo supportive of crypto currency outside of just sales from overstock, see:

I wouldn't want a list of good companies here because people could easily be confused and consider them bad guys because of the title....first impressions last.

[charleshoskinson]

Glad to see you putting this list together Bruno.

[ern]

Could you add the founders of KNCminer to your list? You can find their names and LinkedIn profiles at the bottom of this page: https://www.kncminer.com/pages/aboutus

You might also want to consider adding Moolah and/or "Alex Green".

[bitnanigans]

This is a really useful list. Thanks for taking the time to put it together.

[railzand]

You may want to add them here as well: https://www.bitjustice.org

On the good guys list now, and thanks, bud.

I put you at the top of the list in the OP, and will give you 100% free billing on the official site I'm building.

Could you get rid of them, please, they're bitcoin blacklisting freaks. Blacklisting the people is fine, but not the bitcoins.

[hdbuck]

what happened to TBF? or even broke pierce?

Freaks? If there is nothing to be done when over a million bitcoins have been stolen then you can pretty much remove the Bitcoin chapter from the book of future.

Jon Montroll and these two brothers from Cyprus.

[DebitMe]

You can put TradeFortress on there as well, probably just a link to his profile will do the trick.
