In real life there are people I just have to glance at to know that this person is not worth arguing with. On a forum you assume that people are otherwise reasonable. Defend yourself, by all means. But when you've hit the post button think of that weird guy next to the slot machine in Vegas. Don't let it linger.
You can read back the history of RoadStress in this thread - it doesn't matter what Spondoolies' position is, as long as they're not first then everything is a huge scam and conspiracy against that company. Spondoolies have been using him as their attack dog so they don't have to.
I've read a couple of them, and other conspiracy theorists who can't wrap their mind around the fact that you're an enthusiast doing what enthusiasts do. The "Bitcoin Community" is not a neighbourhood I would want to live in, that's for sure. Without you there would be no Dogie. It's not a position given to you. It's a position you created. You can do what you want with it. Haters can go... .. flame somewhere else.
Indeed. Apparently I'm such a bad person for doing so much work for the community, for free, yet those calling me out are the ones who ONLY seek to profit from the community without giving a thing back.
"for free" is a stretch you had been compensated before and getting free gear doesn't fall under the "for free"
It doesn't when I'm providing $1000s of manhours in return for $400 hardware. Big or small, each miner gets the same treatment.
And specifically I'm talking about this thread. There's no incentive for me to run it, especially with the sheer amount of abuse I get for it regardless of scores. Too high, too low, scammer, fraud, lier blah blah blah - its not fun. I don't get paid to be a punching bag.
