Admin,
I do not believe Mike Jones is Atlas. He is being targeted by various people including Atlas who created a user who resembles Mike Jones in spelling.
Plz un-ban Mike Jones. Thanks.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

Maybe Atlas has evolved a bit but this Jones guy does sound like a an actual human being who knows English as a native language in his posts and I never saw Atlas manage that before. *shrug*, mods can see the IP address and such and know better than us.

It isn't just that Atlas uses a "Mike Jones" name on reddit. It's also the posting of the Something Awful topic. Atlas has always been utterly incapable of ignoring SA threads about Bitcoin and has a track record of starting "SA is talking about us" threads (although for some reason he only links the GBS ones).
|
All I can say is that this is Bitcoin. I don't believe it until I see six confirmations.

He should be Atlas, especially with his post history as compared with his multiple persona's elsewhere. This post confirms this fact too: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=97313 (it was posted like 20 minutes after MikeJones were banned too)

I think because of his stint with a suicide.

Yeah, it's Atlas. He said "should of" at one point. That's an Atlas grammatical error.

I think because of his stint with a suicide. It's a long story. Start here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=78149.0 (and end with the fake suicide note that caused people to actually phone the authorities)

I still dont think he is Atlas. Not sure why we are banning without proof like an IP address. If Mike Jones really is who he claims he is (funded interactive tv) he could be an important member.

That is the problem with stalking a user because of "who he is" not what he does.
